Everyone had seen Lu Sheng’s capabilities before.
It was just that they could not believe that the Third Prince, who had always been called useless, had actually hidden his capabilities.
No wonder even the Crown Prince could do nothing about him. It turned out that the Third Prince was the real ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’.
The few of them swallowed their saliva at the same time, and their hearts could not help but be filled with respect.
“Please forgive me for my earlier offense, Third Prince!”
Chu Sihan regained his senses and bowed obediently.
He didn’t need to give the Third Prince face, but Lu Sheng’s master was an elder. He had to give him face.
Lu Zhou smiled silently and observed him for a while. Then, he suddenly said something baffling. “They look alike, and their characters are similar. They’re able to bow and rise at will.”
He was indeed that person’s son.
“What?”
Chu Sihan looked at him in confusion.
“Nothing.”
Lu Zhou shook his head and continued speaking faintly. “My disciple has an eccentric personality and is not gentle and considerate like other girls. Lord Chu, in the future…”
“Master!”
Lu Sheng frowned and stepped on his shoes to stop him from speaking.
Seeing a black mark on the tip of his clean and white shoe, Lu Zhou frowned in disdain.
He swallowed the words ‘please be more lenient’, as Lu Sheng wished.
“Hehe. My master likes to joke. Lord, please don’t mind him.”
Lu Sheng explained with a dry smile.
“Yes.”
The coldness in Chu Sihan’s eyes dissipated, and his expression became much gentler than before.
Knowing that his disciple did not like to hear these, Lu Zhou did not speak further. Instead, he chatted with Chu Sihan about the current situation in the Imperial Court.
Currently, the Emperor, Prime Minister Fu, and a few other officials did not think highly of the Crown Prince. Instead, they viewed the Second Prince more highly.
As for Chu Sihan and Lu Zhou, they were considered the Second Prince’s men.
It was not that the Crown Prince was incompetent, but he had killed too many people. If he ascended the throne in the future, the citizens would probably suffer a calamity.
Putting everything else aside, just from the Jiang family’s actions of bullying the commoners in Lin Jiang Mansion and treating human lives like grass, one could tell the Crown Prince’s style of doing things.
If the Jiang family did not have the Crown Prince’s backing, how would they have the guts to do such a thing?
“When I return to the capital, I will definitely add this Jiang Shaofu to my list.”
Lu Zhou slammed his teacup onto the table and spoke coldly.
Chu Sihan’s thin lips curved into a sneer and he similarly said coldly, “That’s what I was thinking too.”
Although he had only been in the Lin Jiang Mansion for less than two years, everything that the Jiang family did was within his control.
In the past, the reason why people paid attention to the Jiang family was because of the Second Prince’s orders. Now…
If anyone dared to touch his men, he could not be blamed for attacking in advance.
Initially, he only wanted to become a local official ‘obediently’. However, these people forced him to reveal his true character. He could not be blamed for being vicious.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. It was as if they had reached an agreement. They exchanged wine for tea, and the two cups clanged before they finished the tea in one gulp.
Lu Sheng and the rest were confused when they heard that. They could only watch in confusion.
The two of them, who were at loggerheads just now, were actually exchanging wine for tea and chatting happily now?
“I can’t stay in Huang Yang Town for too long. I’ll have to trouble Lord Chu to take care of my disciple,” said Lu Zhou with a faint smile.
His tone was obviously the same as when he handed her the fruit tea earlier. However, when Chu Sihan heard this now, he felt like his ‘future father-in-law’ was entrusting his daughter to him.
This dispersed the last bit of resentment he had towards Lu Zhou.
Hence, he said with a solemn expression, “Third Prince, don’t worry. I will take good care of Miss Lu for you.”
