“Mansion?”
After Lu Zhou left, Chu Sihan asked curiously.
Lu Sheng said, “Oh, it’s a thank-you gift from Miss Deng. It’s right next to your Chu Mansion.”
“Next to the Chu Mansion?”
Chu Sihan lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. He raised his eyebrows and said, “That’s the one at the end near Ming Yang River?”
“Yes!” Lu Sheng nodded. “That one.”
Chu Sihan nodded slightly and asked, “In the future… will you stay in town?”
“More or less.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Sihan smiled.
Lu Sheng tapped her teacup lightly with her finger and said calmly, “I’m going to ask someone to tear down the houses in the village next spring to make a farm. The other fields will be used to grow tomatoes, potatoes, and tabasco peppers.”
Other than potatoes, Chu Sihan had not seen the other two items before.
However, he seemed to be used to these strange things that came from this little girl and did not feel puzzled.
“Chu Yun, sit down and rest.”
Seeing Chu Yun walk out of the kitchen, Lu Sheng hurriedly called out to him.
Now, there were only a few customers left.
Chu Yun only walked over after serving the last dish.
He asked Chu Sihan, “Lord, have you eaten hotpot before?”
“Hotpot?”
Chu Sihan shook his head slightly. “Never heard of it.”
“It’s a new dish prepared by our restaurant.”
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “However, due to the lack of ingredients, we haven’t been able to promote it yet. We might have to wait until next year.”
Chili peppers could only be planted next year, and hotpot should be eaten with spicy food.
Recently, He Zhang had taken advantage of his free time to prepare the soup base according to the formula Lu Sheng gave him. He was prepared to show off his skills next year.
Chu Sihan nodded slightly. “I’m looking forward to next year.”
Chu Yun swept his eyes over the two of them and said with an excuse, “Young Master Lu wants me to go over and have a drink with them. Lord and Miss Lu can chat first.”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Go ahead. You’ve worked hard today!”
She felt that Chu Yun was wronged as he, a dignified magistrate’s guard, came to be her waiter in this small restaurant.
After Chu Yun left, Lu Sheng asked Chu Sihan, “Lord, it’s almost time for dinner. Do you want to eat anything else?”
“Dinner?”
Chu Sihan was stunned.
He actually ate this meal from lunch to dinner?
This… was probably his first time.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally said, “I’m still full.”
Lu Sheng nodded slightly and smiled. “I’m full as well.”
She rolled her eyes and asked in a low voice, “Lord, how much do you know about the serial murder case in the capital?”
A hundred thousand taels! She still couldn’t forget about it!
Chu Sihan shook his head. “Very little. I only know the deceased are men.”
There was still some distance between the capital and Lin Jiang Mansion. The time of the crime was still short, so he did not know that much.
The reason why he knew that they were all men was because he had heard it from the merchants who had returned from the capital when he went out to eat.
“Alright!”
Lu Sheng pursed her lips regretfully.
“According to the Third Prince, this case seems to be very dangerous. You…”
Knowing that he was worried about her, Lu Sheng quickly smiled and said, “Lord, don’t worry. I know my limits.”
The reason she asked was because she wanted to know whether her master had a high chance of winning and whether she could get the hundred thousand taels of silver.
Such a dangerous thing had to be done by her master naturally.
She would never do something that would kill her.
“Ahchoo—”
Lu Zhou, who had just arrived at the Lu Mansion, sneezed. He rubbed his nose and snorted coldly. He mumbled, “Could it be that the little girl is thinking of ways to take advantage of me again?”
