Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild-Chapter 13 - I Dreamed About Mother

After the villagers dispersed, the Lu Family became silent except for the crying Lu Jiang and Lu Xin.

Ignoring Lu Dahua, Lu Sheng fetched some water from the well and brought it back to her room. After washing up and changing her clothes, she left her room.

In the courtyard, Lu Dahua had managed to console Lu Jiang and Lu Xin. Both kids were squatting and pulling the weeds.

As for Lu Dahua, he sat in the courtyard as if he were waiting for her to come out.

Lu Sheng used the towel stored in her space bracelet to dry her hair, then grabbed a stool and sat beside him.

It was the first time Lu Dahua had seen her act like this. He felt suspicious.

In the past, Lu Sheng obeyed everything he said. However, she seemed a bit odd today.

Lu Dahua looked at her, and he was about to speak when she indifferently said, "After I swam out of the lake, I stayed in a run-down hut in the neighboring village. Last night, I dreamed about Mother."

Lu Dahua was stunned. When he remembered what the priest and the witch said today, he immediately felt guilty.

"You dreamed… about your mother? What did she say?"

Lu Sheng turned her head around and silently stared at him.

Lu Dahua immediately became anxious.

The surroundings were very quiet. Just when he thought that Lu Sheng would remain silent, she softly said, "Mother said that she only caught a cold that year. But you and Madam Liu added arsenic to her medicine."

Lu Dahua's mind instantly went blank.

That year, Madam He had brought Lu Ran and Lu Sheng back to her family to help in harvesting the lotus seeds. Unable to bear the loneliness, Lu Dahua had developed an affair with Madam Liu.

A wise saying said that there would definitely be a second time after the first.

Madam He was an honest woman. She stuck to the rules, so she was not as good as Madam Liu at pleasing people.

The more time Lu Dahua spent with Madam Liu, the more he started disliking Madam He.

When Madam Liu heard that Madam He caught a cold, she started to tempt him to poison Madam He.

Somehow, she even managed to get arsenic and instructed him to add it to Madam He's medicine every day.

Bewitched by her, he had agreed.

For years, this was the biggest pit in his heart.

When he heard his daughter's words, he suddenly remembered what Madam Liu had said about meeting a ghost in the house last night. A cold chill ran down his spine.

He tried his best to calm himself. After a long while, he softly asked, "What else did your mother say?"

"She said that if you don't turn yourself in, she'll come back every day and bring chaos to your family. She would even suck the life energy out of you and Madam Liu so that your life expectancy can decrease and you both can go to hell earlier."

Her voice was very calm, yet Lu Dahua could sense something dangerous in it.

Suddenly, a cold breeze blew in the courtyard, and he shuddered in fear.

If Lu Sheng had not said anything, he would not have cared too much. However, after she spoke, Lu Dahua kept feeling as if Madam He was standing right behind him and staring at him with a malicious gaze.

Swallowing his saliva, he said in a deep voice, "That's just a dream. How can there be ghosts in this world?"

"Perhaps." Lu Sheng smiled, She then turned her head back and became silent.

However, the more Lu Dahua thought about it, the more anxious he became. He felt his back become colder as well.

Lu Sheng ignored him.

After all, the scariest torture was self-inflicted torture.

She told him everything that he did to the minutest detail. With this, the haunting in the house the previous night, and what the priest and witch said today, Lu Sheng believed that Lu Dahua could only hang on for a few more days.

"Sheng Sheng, why don't you change into new clothes and follow me to the Chu Mansion?"

Lu Dahua felt that nothing was more important than the five hundred taels.
