Chapter 83: Gains
“How would Ah Chuan do such a thing?”
Mdm Zheng’s eyes flashed and she said, “He must have happened to pass by and saw them stealing Lu Sheng’s items. That’s why he came to stop them.”
She could not admit to this crime. Anyway, they did not lose anything. This meant Lu Sheng did not have evidence to prove that Lu Chuan was the one who brought the knockout drops and the men.
“Your house is on the other side. Would he pass by here in the middle of the night? Do you think we’re stupid?”
Li Zheng questioned coldly.
Lu Daming woke Lu Chuan up and hurried him to explain.
“Father, there are ghosts in their house. There are a few of them. They’re behind Lu Sheng and they’re looking at me. Ahhh—they’re floating over. Father, save me!”
An eighteen-year-old was so shocked that he hugged his father and wept.
Lu Daming and the rest looked suspiciously behind Lu Sheng, but could not see anything.
Someone scoffed. “Tsk. Someone’s just pretending not to know anything after being caught.”
Lu Sheng warned with a cold face. “If this happens again, I’ll break his legs and send him to the officials.”
Mdm Zheng laughed drily and patted Lu Daming’s shoulders.
The duo hurriedly pulled Lu Chuan, who was trying to hide behind them, away.
Some people started their suspicions.
After all, Lu Chuan’s reaction earlier did not seem fake. Moreover, ever since Lu Sheng disappeared and returned, the Lu family had been plagued with ghosts.
Could there be... something unclean going on in the Lu family?
Everyone recalled how Mdm Liu invited a priest over to perform a ritual and how Lu Dahua went to the neighboring village to invite a witch.
Why did they invite these people to perform a ritual for no reason? They must have seen something unclean.
When they thought of this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines and they bade farewell hurriedly.
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Lu Sheng did not say anything and only sent them away politely.
“Don’t worry. They won’t come again in the future. If they still dare to, I’ll chase them out of the village.”
Li Zheng consoled Lu Sheng before leaving.
After sending Liang Ping and Mdm Chen off, Lu Sheng turned around with a smile.
A few black figures lined up obediently, seemingly waiting for her praise.
“From now on, I’ll release you at midnight. If anyone tries to climb over the wall, scare them away. It’s alright to break their legs. Understand?”
A few black figures nodded.
Lu Sheng smiled satisfactorily. She yawned and returned to her room to sleep.
——
One month later.
Ever since that night, no one had set foot in the Lu family except the Liang family, Li Zheng and Mdm Fang.
Lu Sheng made some clothes for Lu Ran, Lu Jiang, and Lu Xin during this period.
She had a sewing machine in her Space Bracelet. Her master had bought it for her on the mountain previously.
In the past, Master would always make clothes for her when she was young. When she grew up, she learned how to sew from Master. Gradually, she learned this skill.
When she did not use the sewing machine, it would usually be placed in the Space Bracelet. She did not dare to casually expose items that did not exist in this space-time dimension.
“Second Sister, it’s red!”
Lu Xin plucked a tomato and ran in, huffing and puffing.
Lu Sheng folded the clothes and turned back. She patted her head and smiled. “Xinxin, you can eat it if it’s red.”
“Second Sister, the potatoes have bore fruits too. I saw a potato just now and dug it up. There are five potatoes in each plant.”
Lu Jiang carried a few potatoes and ran over. Although his body was covered in dirt, his face was filled with a delighted smile.
