Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Fourth Master Lin

Fourth Master Lin was previously the Minister of Revenue in the Imperial Court. However, he had been framed and his official status was removed.

It was later confirmed that he was innocent and the Emperor even personally decreed that he should return to his post as Minister of Revenue.

However, he used the excuse that he was old and could no longer serve the Imperial Court, thus directly rejecting the Emperor’s decree.

This matter alerted all the officials back then. Some had even gone up to the Emperor to ask him to convict him of his crime of disrespect.

However, this was ignored by the Emperor.

Fourth Master Lin had also moved back to the Lin Jiang Mansion from the capital. With the Lin family’s status in Lin Jiang Mansion now, no one dared to provoke them.

Thankfully, Fourth Master Lin was a kind person and did not make things difficult for others. Furthermore, his reputation as a kind person in Lin Jiang Mansion was well-known.

Chu Sihan had known Fourth Master Lin since he was in the capital. The two of them were even close friends despite their age difference.

When he first received news of his appointment at Lin Jiang Mansion, Fourth Master Lin had even held a big banquet to welcome him.

When he was free, Fourth Master Lin would often come to find him for a drink.

Chu Sihan had seen practically everyone in the Lin Mansion, but not Lin Jiang.

It was said that he spent most of his time studying abroad and was rarely in the mansion. As a result, Chu Sihan did not even know Lin Jiang when he saw him.

However, he could vaguely see traces of Fourth Master Lin from his looks.

Before Chu Yun followed him, he had stayed in Lin Jiang Mansion. Hence, he saw Lin Jiang before.

Lin Jiang was not interested in anything else in his life. He only wanted to travel the world and become a carefree citizen.

All these years, he had acknowledged more than ten masters. However, all of them were unreliable and only knew how to talk glibly. They were all useless.

He was shocked when he saw how skilled the girl was just now.

He swore to himself that he would make her accept him as her disciple.

However, by the time he had caught up, the white figure had already disappeared.

The woman was obviously not riding a horse, but he was.

Why couldn’t a horse keep up with a walking person?

After losing the woman’s whereabouts, Lin Jiang was extremely disappointed.

However, he could not return either. He could only walk forward and prepare to return to Lin Jiang Mansion.

After he left, Lu Sheng walked out of the forest.

She suspiciously glanced at the direction that Lin Jiang left in and looked back.

Chu Sihan and the rest had not set off yet, and it seemed like they would not set off anytime soon.

Lu Sheng chose a big tree and leaned against it to rest.

She had followed Chu Sihan and the rest for the entire night, and she was starting to feel sleepy.

Chu Sihan’s team only set off again at noon.

Listening to the approaching sounds of the carriage wheels and horse hooves, Lu Sheng’s eyes widened.

She took out the Invisibility Talisman, pasted it on herself, and followed them silently.

As they were transporting items, the carriage moved very slowly. She could almost catch up to them by walking.

They walked for the whole afternoon and only stopped when they reached a courier station.

Lu Sheng followed them into the courier station, then followed Chu Sihan and Chu Yun into the room.

Chu Sihan, who was walking in front, suddenly turned his head and glanced sharply in her direction.

Lu Sheng was so shocked by his gaze that she stopped in her tracks. It took her a while to realize that he could not see her at all.

“Lord, what’s wrong?”

Chu Yun turned his head but could not see anything. He could not help but feel puzzled.

“Nothing.”

Chu Sihan frowned and shook his head.

He did not know if he was overly exhausted, but he kept feeling like someone was following them.
