Chapter 2240: Chapter 2237: ing Knocking Again
No one dared to leak anything, and during this period, everyone worked even more diligently.
However, as time passes, those keen on finding out will surely get hold of this little piece of news.
Now, if she doesn’t go to Jingyuan, all sorts of speculations are bound to arise.
This actually coincides with Chu Heng’s plans.
“Early in the morning, Zhu San delivered a message to the back door.” Su Mei quickly mentioned that it was the same “unexpected” news from the He Family and a few other families from the previous day.
Ye Muyu asked, “Only the He Family came to the residence to find someone?”
“Yes.” Su Mei was reminded by Ye Muyu’s question and looked a bit worried, knowing it’s not hard to guess that those who didn’t e must have their own plans. Who knows how those people might be used by the opposition.
Even though on the surface everyone knows Chu Heng and the Qi family are political rivals, whoever has more leverage can drag the other down.
“Madam, don’t worry, Zhu San has arranged for people to keep an eye on these families, ensuring they don’t have the chance to betray secretly.” Su Mei said with determination.
Ye Muyu wasn’t angry; instead, she had anticipated this situation and merely pondered for a while.
She said, “Have Steward Luo arrange for people to watch these individuals. Unless there’s important news from Zhu San, no need to report it. Maintain concealment; don’t get discovered.”
For Ye Muyu, the spies from Zhu San’s side are the news source she values.
Su Mei nodded upon hearing this.
Ye Muyu instructed her to go about her work.
As for hairdressing, Su Lan took over.
Once everything was settled, she sat down at the dining table, and Su Mei had just finished talking with Steward Luo.
Furthermore, Steward Luo informed Su Mei that he had long been following the master’s orders to keep an eye on everyone working for their family business in the capital.
Implying, though subtly, that if someone truly wants to investigate, they can still find out that Chu Heng has placed spies watching over his own subordinates.
“Thank you for your hard work, Steward Luo. If there’s any new information, please report to the backyard. The lady will be staying at the residence today.”
How could Steward Luo refuse, especially with the master’s instructions still fresh in his mind before he left.
He was responsible for gathering information and couldn’t allow the lady’s life to be affected in the slightest. He must answer whatever the lady asks without hiding anything.
“It’s no trouble, just my duty.” Steward Luo replied with a smile.
“Then I will return to the backyard for now.”
“By the way.” Steward Luo remembered something and called out to her, “Miss Su Mei, earlier this morning, the He family’s female members came again wanting to see the lady. Not sure if the lady wishes to see them.”
Su Mei was a bit surprised, “They came again?”
“Yes, I was actually waiting to notify the lady after she wakes up, but now they’ve returned. If the lady wants to meet them, I’ll send someone to call them back.”
“Please wait for a moment.” Su Mei was unsure of Ye Muyu’s opinion.
She hurriedly turned back to the backyard.
Ye Muyu was having breakfast, while Chu Ziluo was recently busy peting with Madam Yun’s Agate Pavilion and left early each morning, spending little time at the residence. So Ye Muyu could only have meals with Nuanbao.
However, Nuanbao, being young, finished eating early and was merely playing with toys on a woolen carpet beside her. Thus, Ye Muyu was eating alone.
She ate quickly.
By the time Su Mei returned, Ye Muyu was almost done, with only a few spoonfuls of congee left.
After finishing it cleanly, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and finally responded, “Go call them, after all, a stance must be shown.”
