<h4>Chapter 480: My Master Is Omnipotent</h4>


    “Yes.”


    Lu Sheng replied faintly.


    She turned back to look at the little ghost and walked forward to ask Mdm Fang in a low voice, “Aunt, are there any children in your family who... died young?”


    “Wh... What?”


    Mdm Fang was in a trance and did not seem to have heard her.


    Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment and asked in a more tactful manner, “I mean, are there any children the same age as Chuer in the Tao family who was gone?”


    “Well...”


    Mdm Fang turned her head. On the other side, the pale-faced Mdm Qiu suddenly stumbled.


    Lu Sheng suddenly looked over and saw her suddenly covering her mouth and sobbing.


    Tao Jia’s expression darkened.


    Mdm Fang sighed faintly. She wiped her tears and said, “Yes, there was one. That child and Chuer were twins. He was Chuer’s younger brother. He died from suffocation not long aftering out.”


    After the child died, Mdm Fang buried him in the backyard.


    However, other than the Tao family and the vige’s Granny Zhang, no one knew about that child. How did Lu Sheng know?


    Could she really see those things?


    “Lu Sheng, how did you know?”


    After sighing softly, Li Zheng was puzzled.


    “No wonder.”


    Lu Sheng looked at the little ghost being restrained by Jia Zheng and sighed softly. “I was wondering why this child looked identical to Chuer.”


    “Lu Sheng, you... you really saw him?” Mdm Fang asked nervously.


    Lu Sheng nodded slightly. “It’s because he attaches himself to Chuer from time to time that Chuer’s illness became so serious.”


    “What?”


    The Tao family sucked in a cold breath.


    Lu Sheng squatted down and asked the little ghost, “Speak. Why did you do this to your elder brother?”


    “Why?”


    The little ghost stopped struggling and stared at Chuer in Tao Jia’s arms in disgust. “Because of him, Father and Mother forgot about me. They didn’t burn anything for me during Qingming Festivalst year, neither did they give me anything for Zhongyuan Festival. They didn’t even give me anything for Qingming Festival this year. I was cold and hungry. No one cared about me!”


    Looking at his face that was twisted with hatred, Lu Sheng did not know whether tofort him or reprimand him.


    “Even so, you can’t do this to your brother. He’s innocent.”


    The ghost pursed his lips and snorted coldly. He turned his head away from Lu Sheng.


    “Eh? You’re quite arrogant. Do you know who she is?”


    Jia Zheng smacked his head.


    He seemed to have hit him hard, but his strength was very light.


    “Lu Sheng, can you see him?”


    Mdm Qiu strode forward and sobbed as she looked at Lu Sheng. “Can you help me tell him that Mother misses him a lot?”


    “He can hear you.”


    Lu Sheng sighed softly and said to the Tao family, “The reason why this child followed Chuer and kicked up a fuss was that you haven’t paid your respects to him during Qingming Festival and Zhongyuan Festival for the past two years. He had nothing to eat and was hungry and cold. That’s why he followed Chuer.”


    “It’s all our fault!”


    Tao Jia said with reddened eyes, “Our business has been booming these two years. We didn’t evene back for Qingming Festival. We’ve let him down!”


    “Good child, don’t me your parents. If you want to me someone, me Grandma!”


    Mdm Fang sniffed and continued with tears streaming down her face. “Grandma forgot about you at home. It’s Grandma’s fault. If you have any grievances,e at Grandma.”


    When Li Zheng heard this, he frowned. “Impossible. I burn things for him every year. How can he not receive them?”


    He looked at Lu Sheng and said, “Ask that child why he didn’t receive it?”


    Lu Sheng nodded slightly and looked at the little ghost again. “You heard it too. They didn’t forget you.”


    “I want clothes. I want money. I want food!”


    The little ghost seemed to have thought of something and wept.


    “Sob—If no one burned money for me, I wouldn’t have money for them. They would hit me!”


    Lu Sheng frowned. “Your grandpa said that there were things he burned for you. Why didn’t you receive them?”


    “They were all stolen!”


    The little ghost sniffed and said, “Those things can’t reach me at all. Grandpa didn’t even call my name when he burned them.”


    When Lu Sheng heard that, she suddenly understood. Usually, when burning these items, they had to write their names on them. Otherwise, they could not collect them at all.


    Such a young child was buried alone in the backyard. The ancestors usually did not recognize him.


    If he wanted to get the protection of his ancestors, he had to invite a ghost intermediary to create a mage and introduce the little ghost to his ancestors.


    Otherwise, he would be a wandering ghost and wander outside.


    However, there seemed to be no ghost intermediary in this era.


    Of course, with her around, there was no need for a ghost intermediary.


    Lu Sheng told the Tao family about the little ghost. Their hearts ached and they sighed.


    In the end, Tao Jia specially went to the vige to buy the items needed.


    Lu Sheng told them to kill a chicken to worship their ancestors. She would prepare to summon the Tao family’s ancestors back.


    Li Zheng had just finished killing the chicken and it had just been cooked when Tao Jia bought the items back.


    Lu Sheng let Tao Jia offer the incense and let him stand at the side.


    Since Jia Zheng could not enter, Lu Sheng personally brought the little ghost in and made him stand beside Tao Jia.


    Then, Lu Sheng lit up a stick of incense. Then, she pressed her palms together and bowed to the altar. She closed her eyes and recited the names on the altar.


    After a while, Tao Jia’s ancestors returned and filled the room.


    There were men and women, young and old.


    The first name on the altar, an old man, looked at Lu Sheng and asked in a deep voice, “Miss, why did you call the Tao family back?”


    Lu Sheng opened her eyes and stuck the incense stick in the incense burner.


    Beside Tao Jia and his wife, there were also Mdm Fang, Li Zheng, and Lu Ran.


    Seeing Lu Sheng turn around, they did not even dare to breathe heavily.


    After a while, Lu Sheng said lightly, “I called you back today to introduce someone to you.”


    As she spoke, she waved at the little ghost. However, the little ghost did note over but hid behind Tao Jia fearfully.


    Lu Sheng sighed helplessly. She persuaded him. “Didn’t you say that you were always bullied by those people? Come over and I’ll introduce these elders to you. With them around in the future, no one will bully you again.”


    The little ghost hesitated for a moment before walking over hesitantly.


    Lu Sheng pulled him over and introduced him to the Tao family’s ancestors. “This is the son of your fifteenth generation grandson, Tao Jia. Tao...”


    Lu Sheng only realized that she did not know this little ghost’s real name until she read the word ‘Tao.’


    “Tao Chusan.”


    Tao Jia replied softly.


    Lu Sheng nodded. She turned back and said to the Lu family’s ancestors, “Tao Chusan.”


    The old man from the Tao family scanned the surroundings. When he saw that everyone from the Tao family was present, he hurriedly nodded.


    He waved at the little ghost and said, “Come over. From now on, you’ll live with your great-grandfather and great-grandmother.”


    When the little ghost heard that, he hurriedly looked up at Lu Sheng.


    Seeing Lu Sheng nod slightly, he strode over.


    “I hope you can protect the Tao family and let them be safe!”


    Tao Jia’s ancestors nodded and gathered around the table to eat.


    Lu Sheng and everyone waited at the side. When they were almost done eating, Lu Sheng let Tao Jia burn the hell banknotes and ingots. After burning them, she lit the firecrackers.


    The firecrackers rang and the Tao family’s ancestors left with the little ghost.


    Lu Sheng looked at Mdm Fang and the rest and said, “You can pack up now.”


    “Have they all left?” Li Zheng asked softly.


    Lu Sheng nodded. “They’re all gone.”


    “That’s good!”


    Mdm Fang hurriedly sealed a red packet for Lu Sheng. When Lu Sheng saw the red packet, she said lightly, “There’s no need to give me a big one. Just give me ten coins.”


    “It’s not a lot. This is just a small token of appreciation.”


    As Mdm Fang spoke, she stuffed the red packet into her hands.


    “Remember to brew those medicines for Chuer. Remember to let him wear the talisman in his pocket as well.”


    Before returning home, Lu Sheng instructed Mdm Fang.


    Mdm Fang nodded. “Okay!”


    “Lu Sheng, thank you!”


    Tao Jia and Mdm Qiu walked over and spoke softly to her.


    The duo did not look too good, especially Mdm Qiu. Her face was pale.


    “You’re wee!”


    Lu Sheng looked at the two of them and said, “Chuer’s already asleep. You should rest early too. Don’t copse after he recovers.”


    “Lu Sheng is right.”


    Mdm Fang looked at the two of them and said sympathetically, “Go and rest.”


    Mdm Qiu sighed softly and shook her head. “I feel uneasy and can’t sleep!”


    She was already exhausted from Chuer’s illness. Now, although Chuer had recovered, she was reminded of her deceased child.


    Not to mention falling asleep, but even if she closed her eyes, she could almost feel a child crying by her ear.


    “Put this under the pillow.”


    Lu Sheng took out a talisman and passed it to Mdm Qiu.


    “This is a talisman for calming the mind. It can reduce one’s uneasiness if ced under the bed.”


    “Thank you!”


    Mdm Qiu thanked her and received it with pursed lips.


    “It’s gettingte. Why don’t you go back after eating here?”


    Tao Jia spoke to Lu Sheng and Lu Ran.


    Lu Sheng looked at the sky and realized that it was already evening.


    She did not expect that a day would pass after this series of events.


    She smiled and shook her head. “No need. Our family is still waiting. We’ll go back first.”


    “Forget it then.”


    Li Zheng and Mdm Fang knew that the Lu family had a lot of guests. Hence, when they heard Lu Sheng’s words, they did not force her to stay.


    Lu Ran smiled at the two of them. “I’ll trouble Uncle and Aunt for tomorrow then.”


    “Wait!”


    Tao Jia pondered and said, “What are we doing tomorrow?”


    He had gone to the medical hall immediately after returning and had been busy until now.


    When he was at the entrance of the medical hall, he had already heard his mother’s words to Lu Ran. At that time, he was already puzzled.


    However, as he was focused on his son back then, he did not pay much attention to them.


    Now that Lu Ran mentioned it, he finally asked the question in his heart.


    “You don’t know yet, right?”


    Mdm Fang smiled and said, “Do you still remember Leya?”


    “Leya?”


    Tao Jia frowned. “Didn’t they move away?”


    “She’s back. She’s been back for a while.”


    Mdm Qiu nced at Lu Ran and continued, “Father and Mother are going to the Hua family tomorrow to propose a marriage for Young Master Ran.”


    “Propose a marriage?!”


    After Tao Jia’s shock, he raised his eyebrows and said, “Lu Ran, are you going to marry Leya?”


    “Yes.” Lu Ran nodded.


    “Goodd, not bad!” Tao Jia smiled and patted his shoulder. “You’re going to marry your childhood sweetheart without saying anything.”


    Lu Ran scratched his head and smiled shyly.


    “Alright, we won’t disturb your rest anymore.”


    Lu Sheng pulled Lu Ran out and said, “Uncle, Aunt, Brother Tao, Sister-inw Tao, we’ll go back first.”


    “Yes!”


    —————


    On the way back, Lu Ran looked up at Lu Sheng from time to time.


    Lu Sheng initially wanted to ignore him, but seeing his diligence, she could only say helplessly, “Brother, if you have any doubts, just ask.”


    Lu Ran coughed lightly. “I just want to ask, who taught you your skills?”


    She couldn’t have really learned it from the Third Prince, right?


    How could a graceful person like the Third Prince learn such unusual techniques?


    Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows in amusement. “He’s the only master I have. If I didn’t learn from him, who else could I have learned from?”


    Lu Ran was speechless.


    He still could not believe that the Third Prince would learn these.


    The elegant Third Prince standing in front of the altar and mumbling. This scene was really... unbearable to look at!


    “Don’t think that just because my master is a prince that he’s pampered. You’ve seen it recently too. He’s good at farming.”


    Lu Sheng smiled and raised her eyebrows. “Moreover, besides farming, my master’s culinary skills and sewing techniques are also very exquisite.”


    “Sewing techniques?”


    Lu Ran frowned. “You’re saying that the Third Prince knows how to cook and sew?”


    Was this... possible?


    As the high and mighty Third Prince, why didn’t anyone help him? Why did he have to learn these himself?


    “Yes!”


    Lu Sheng nodded and said proudly, “My master is omnipotent.”


    Lu Ran could not help but sigh.


    He did not expect the high and mighty Third Prince to learn these.


    “After Brother finishes the marriage proposal, we’ll move back home.”


    When she passed by the Lu family, Lu Sheng smiled and spoke.


    Lu Ran nced at the Lu family and nodded. “Now that we’re getting married, there’s going to be a big banquet. Ask Grandma and the other elders toe over.”


    Lu Sheng nodded. “I understand. I’ve already asked about the pigs. When the timees, I’ll invite Grandma and the rest of the vigers over to eat meat.”


    “Thank you!”


    Lu Ran spoke sincerely.


    Ever since Mdm Liu and Lu Dahua were jailed, Lu Sheng had been busy alone.


    As for him, other than being in the academy, he did not help much. It was embarrassing.


    Lu Sheng shook her head. “Not at all!”


    It was not hard at all to do what she liked.


    “Oh right, Brother. If you return to town in a while, find time to go to the flower shop and buy some flowers to nt.”


    “Okay!”


    After walking for a while, Lu Ran asked, “Oh right, Ah Sheng, are the watermelons in the vegetable field ripe? Many guests have been asking if there are any more watermelons.”


    Some time ago, after the watermelons were ripe, Lu Sheng only left some for her family to eat. She let them sell the rest in the restaurant as fruit tes.


    As they were new species, they sold a te for a hundred coins. Lu Sheng did not expect He Zhang and the rest to sell them at such an expensive price.


    She initially thought that no one would buy them. In the end, they were sold out quickly.


    “They’re almost ripe. I should be able to pluck them in a few days.”


    She said lightly, “Dig up purple sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes tomorrow. I’ll prepare the menu tonight.”
