Chapter 268: Wishful Thinking
Lu Sheng was wondering if she should reveal her master’s identity.
At the side, Fu Yiyi mistakenly thought that she could not say it.
“Father, these pearls were probably bought from someone else, right?”
She looked at Chu Sihan meaningfully.
No matter how pretty a farm girl was, it could not erase the fact that she was born a peasant.
Fu Yiyi could not stand Lu Sheng’s confident look.
Even Fu Lei almost believed her words.
Chu Sihan looked at Fu Yiyi coldly.
Fu Yiyi’s face paled immediately. It was unknown if she was shocked or hurt.
Chu Sihan wanted to answer for Lu Sheng, but he respected her decision.
Whether she spoke or not was up to her.
“If Lu Sheng remembered correctly, today is my first visit to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, right?”
Lu Sheng turned around and raised an eyebrow at Fu Yiyi. She smiled and asked, “When did I offend Miss Fu?”
Lu Sheng did not know Fu Yiyi, nor did she know her real identity. She mistakenly thought that she and Fu Sisi were born by Mdm Fu.
Hence, she could not understand where Fu Yiyi’s animosity towards her came from.
“I...”
Fu Yiyi was rendered speechless by her question.
She naturally did not dare to say that she liked Chu Sihan in front of everyone.
Even though everyone knew that she liked Chu Sihan.
Lu Sheng glanced at her indifferently. She still had a faint smile on her face, but upon closer inspection, that smile did not reach her eyes.
Lu Sheng looked at Fu Lei and smiled. “Prime Minister, my master is the Third Prince.”
The surroundings fell silent again.
“Pfft —”
Fu Yiyi covered her mouth and laughed.
“Your master is the Third Prince?” She sneered. “Are you dreaming?”
She was obviously a peasant, but wanted to become a phoenix.
Although the Third Prince was not as good as the Crown Prince and the Eldest Prince in every aspect, he was the most favored one.
Hence, no matter how lazy and useless he looked, no one dared to ignore him easily.
Lu Sheng’s smile faded and she stared at Fu Yiyi.
She had clearly not done anything, but Fu Yiyi felt as if she was soaked in cold water and her entire body went cold.
Chu Sihan looked at Fu Lei and said, “Uncle, she’s telling the truth.”
Fu Yiyi’s eyes lit up, thinking that he was supporting her. She immediately said proudly, “See? I’m right. You’re just dreaming.”
Lu Sheng suddenly sneered and looked at Fu Yiyi like she was looking at a fool.
She said lightly, “The Prime Minister and Mdm seem to be smart people, but Miss Fu Yiyi doesn’t seem to have inherited your pros.”
“Well...”
Mdm Fu and Fu Lei felt awkward.
Fu Yiyi was indeed not their biological daughter. Fu Yiyi knew this herself.
However, they could not explain it to Lu Sheng in front of her.
Fu Yiyi’s vitals had been poked and she scolded Lu Sheng angrily. “Don’t think I don’t know that you’re scolding me!”
She looked at Chu Sihan and said, “Cousin, you clearly said that what I said was true. She was dreaming!”
Chu Sihan’s face darkened. He had tolerated her many times on account of Fu Lei and Mdm Fu.
He explained in a low voice, “What I meant was that what Sheng Sheng said was true. The Third Prince is indeed her master.”
Fu Yiyi froze immediately, her face turning green and red. How interesting.
Fu Sisi burst into laughter. “Our Fu family cannot learn Sister’s wishful thinking and shameless confidence.”
