Apparently has been waiting for him for a while.
Chu Heng stepped inside, wearing court attire, which looked sharper than usual, and carried a sense of being weather-beaten.
"You weren’t in the capital today?" Lu Sangqi noticed the dirt on his shoe soles and raised an eyebrow to ask.
Chu Heng responded with a hum: "What’s the matter."
Lu Sangqi was somewhat annoyed every time he heard him speak in that tone: "My sister was bullied, won’t you help her get revenge?"
"I will." Chu Heng glanced at him indifferently: "Moreover, your sister is not a helpless flower. She indeed has the ability to avenge herself, you don’t need to interfere."
"You..." Lu Sangqi was upset by his refusal: "What do you mean, treating me like an outsider, and my sister is a woman, isn’t it your duty as her husband to protect her?"
Chu Heng didn’t get angry because of his words, and calmly explained: "It’s not about duty, but whether Ah Yu likes it or not, I respect her wishes."
"Of course, if outsiders bully us, I won’t act as if nothing happened." After expressing his stance, Chu Heng quietly glanced at him, adjusted his collar, and asked: "You must have called me here for a reason, right? My time is limited, I need to go back soon."
Lu Sangqi fell silent, he didn’t expect Chu Heng to answer like this. In the past, Chu Heng seemed more inclined to help Ye Muyu solve problems from behind the scenes. But now, Chu Heng has grown more mature, willing to let the fledgling fly, and instead of blindly helping, he teaches Ye Muyu to grow within a safe range.
The anger that rose in his heart because of Chu Heng’s attitude quickly dissipated upon hearing Chu Heng’s words.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, he touched the tip of his nose, awkwardly tossing the prepared information to Chu Heng.
Chu Heng casually caught it, and after taking a quick look, confirmed the usefulness of the information inside. He parted his lips slightly: "Thank you, the information you provided is very useful."
"Humph, of course it’s useful. You better leave, don’t stay here and annoy me." Lu Sangqi feigned disdain and waved his hand.
Chu Heng didn’t mind his attitude, thanked him, and turned to leave.
After the person walked far away, Lu Sangqi raised his head to look over.
For a while, there was no shadow of anyone, and only then did Lu Sangqi turn his wheelchair, and called the servant boy from the medical hall to e and close the door, while he pushed the wheelchair back to the house.
Upon returning to the residence, Chu Heng shared this incident.
Ye Muyu had someone prepare some fresh vegetables to send to Lu Sangqi.
That evening, just as Chu Heng was about to rest, he received a message. He immediately sat up, read the secret letter, and pursed his lips, tilting his head to say: "Ah Yu, I have urgent business that needs to be attended to immediately."
"Right now?" Ye Muyu was a little surprised, but only for a moment. She nodded lightly, indicating she understood, and thinking of something, she leaned forward and bit his lips, saying: "Go quickly, e back early."
"Okay." Chu Heng’s gaze was profound, he reached out to rub her head.
He urged Ye Muyu to rest early, got dressed, and quickly left.
Lu Chuan had been waiting outside for a while, and upon seeing Chu Heng e out, immediately followed: "Sir, the carriage is ready, Minister Xiao’s men have returned to report, we can go directly."
"Hmm." Chu Heng moved swiftly, and the two of them left the residence, disappearing at the street corner in no time.
Fifteen minutes later.
