The General's Wife

CHAPTER 30

Lu Zhi Yan's smile disappeared when he saw a few men at their front yard and Lei Peizhi at the kitchen. Ling Cheung saw her wariness and carried the young girl in his arms "Miss Yan, this is Lei Peizhi he is a friend of Miss Ying, they will stay here with us" Lei Peizhi bowed making the young girl giggle.

When the men came back from the river and the forest, they all sat and ate their meal. Lu Hu An was at the back of the house helping the men build their room, while Lu Zhi Yan was playing with the rabbits along with Qiu Chunhua. Ling Cheung glanced around before looking at Lu Ying Yue "Miss? what are you going to sell at the vacant shops?" Lu Ying Yue looked at him and faintly smiled "To sell some sauce and embroidered goods"

Ling Cheung nodded his head in understanding, Lu Ying Yue sighed and looked outside. "Soon, I'll leave the manor and my siblings in your care Uncle Ling and Aunt Jiao. Even though he told me that I could bring you all to his manor with me. Grandfather would be furious that we became dependent to others." The two adults didn't say anything but smiled at her.

Xiang Zihao and Li Huian passed by the Lu household and saw a few men. Ling Cheung came out of the door, and handed out some drinks, when he saw the couple standing outside. "Xiang Zihao and Li Huian! Do you need anything?"

Lu Ying Yue also came out and smiled at the couple. From afar, a group of men is approaching. It was Lu Hu An along with the second in command of Lei Peizhi, Chang Min and a few of his men. They were all laughing, when Chang Min stopped and stared at the man in front him. The atmosphere became tense under the gaze of the two men, Xiang Zihao immediately pushed his wife behind him.

Lu Ying Yue narrowed her eyes and coldly said "The both of you calm down. I know you must've recognized each other from the Capital. But I don't want you to kill each other under the broad daylight causing all our hard work to go to waste"

The two men calmed down but were still staring at each other. Lu Ying Yue looked at Ling Cheung beside her and sighed. Lu Hu An escorted the men inside their front yard and said "The both of you come in and talk inside"

Li Huian sighed and nodded, she grabbed her husband's hand and brought him inside. Chang Min tensed and looked at Xiang Zihao "What are you doing here?" Lu Ying Yue sighed and replied "Chang Min, everyone this is brother Zihao and Sister Huain. They also lived in the village"

Li Huian smiled softly and said "Sister Ying, we are now going back to the Capital. We only passed by to say goodbye" Lu Ying Yue nodded her head and smiled softly. She looked at the two men and said "Now, can someone tell me what's going on?"

Chang Min clenched his fist and replied "Six years ago, I once saved a man. After his recovery I found out that the man is one of the commanders of Black Shadow. Black Shadow is a mysterious group that murdered my clan. Later I found out that it was one of their commanders who instigated the plan, I tried to kill them. But I was soon beaten up by their group until the late Master Feng Bo Chao rescued me."
