“Lord has given me money.”
Upon hearing Lu Sheng’s explanation, Lu Zhou sneered.
“You’re bought over with just a little money. In the past, I would give you a hundred thousand yuan a month. Why didn’t I see you being so concerned about me? You’re forgetting your master after seeing another man.”
“Master, you have added the word ‘thousand’.”
A hundred thousand yuan every month?
How dare this stingy old man boast shamelessly?!
When had she not secretly taken them when he was sleeping?
Otherwise, would she be able to fill her stomach with just a hundred yuan each month?
Lu Zhou coughed and said expressionlessly, “That’s not important. What’s important is that I’m thirsty.”
“Okay, okay. I’ll get you a bowl of water now.”
Holding the umbrella, Lu Sheng went to the kitchen to pour a bowl of hot water. She brought it back to the room for Lu Zhou to drink.
Holding that bowl of water, Lu Zhou said with a disappointed expression, “You’re getting impatient with me. You’re giving me such hot water to drink. Do you really think my mouth is made of metal?”
Lu Sheng was speechless.
He complained about everything after drinking water. This old man’s bad habit had not changed at all.
“Your immortal technique was the price of transmigration as well?”
She asked expressionlessly.
“Yes.”
Suddenly enlightened, Lu Zhou said in all seriousness, “After being a mortal for a while, I forgot about the immortal spell.”
Lu Sheng was speechless.
Why didn’t you forget about yourself too?
She watched as he raised his hand and circled the steaming hot bowl. The steam dissipated immediately.
After he drank the water, Lu Sheng asked again, “Master, can the Lord’s death be averted?”
Lu Zhou frowned. “Shouldn’t you ask where Master went and what he did after coming here?”
Lu Sheng was speechless.
If she could defeat him, she would have beaten him up and dragged him to the hill at the back to feed the wolves.
However, she was indeed curious. Where did this old man go after coming here? What did he do?
Hence, she obediently asked, “Where did you go after coming here? What did you do?”
“Nothing much.”
Lu Zhou tidied his clothes and sat up straight. “I became the Third Prince who stayed in the capital for a month to handle some miscellaneous affairs.”
“Third Prince?”
Lu Sheng was shocked. “So, you’re the Third Prince of Xuan Yue Country?”
“Yes!”
Lu Zhou lifted his chin and nodded coldly.
He glanced at Lu Sheng from the corner of his eye, looking very arrogant.
“On what basis?”
“Huh?”
He had thought that his little disciple would worship him and suck up to him. Yet, her face was full of indignation.
“Why should I be a peasant girl when I transmigrated but you, Master, became a prince? This is unfair!”
In order to survive in the countryside, she had cultivated and farmed. Yet, this old man was enjoying life and being surrounded by people in the capital. Fate was unjust.
“What’s not fair about it? Which part of you is better than me?”
Lu Sheng said, “I’m more generous, kinder, and younger than you.”
Lu Zhou’s face darkened and he snorted coldly. “This is fate. Accept your fate.”
“In that case, Master, you must be very rich?”
After Lu Sheng’s fury subsided, she suddenly became a lackey.
She massaged Lu Zhou’s shoulders and spoke with a smile.
“Still alright.” Lu Zhou glanced at her and said lightly, “Although this Third Prince is an idiot, he inherited his mother’s wealth when she was alive. This manor and shop aren’t bad. I can earn at least a few hundred thousand taels in a month.”
The reason why this Third Prince had died was because he had rejected the Crown Prince’s attempt to win him over and corrupt him. He wanted to pretend to be virtuous.
It was unexpected that the Crown Prince was vicious and bribed the butler of the Prince’s Mansion to poison the Third Prince’s rice.
At the moment when the Third Prince died, he happened to come over. As he could not find a suitable body yet, he became the Third Prince reluctantly.
