Even if Chu Heng had intervened in this matter, it was not something that could be resolved in a short time.
Liu Cheng did not want to affect his sister and brother-in-law’s mood, so he no longer insisted on this matter and changed the topic.
For a moment, the house was quite lively.
After a while, Chu Lin, Chu Cai, and Madam Zhang had all returned.
Madam Zhang came back early and seemed to be in a good mood. It could be seen that nothing had happened to Song Lu.
Chu Lin and Chu Cai entered the central room.”Father, Mother,” he said to Chu
Zhiwen of the Chu Liu family, “Second Brother and I have informed the clan.”
“There are indeed many children who came this time, but because of the incident where Lil’ Jin met the kidnapper, the news spread. Many people are protecting their children tightly.”
“There are guards from the county government guarding the competition area.
It’s very quiet. The kidnappers don’t dare to go there, so many people have gone there to watch the competition.”
“The other streets are instantly empty.”
“Oh right, Father and Mother, the competition will be over in less than an hour. Should we send someone to collect the Soft Fragrant Cakes from the magistrate?”
“I can also take a look at the ranking of the competition.”
“Aren’t you talking nonsense?” Madam Liu rolled her eyes and said to Chu Lin,
“You guys rest for a while. You can go when the time comes.”
“I’ll go make some tea for your uncle and aunt.”
Madam Zhang hurriedly said, “Mother, you should accompany Aunt to have a good chat. I will do it.”
“Mother, what kind of tea should I make?”
“Make some herbal tea. The weather is too hot.” Madam Liu did not get up. She instructed Madam Liu and asked her to make it.
Madam Zhang agreed and left the central room with Madam Wang.
Seeing this, Ye Muyu also retreated.
Chu Heng followed her out and stopped her not far from the door. “Are you hot?” If you’re not feeling well, go and rest.”
“My body is already much better. I just went to help make some tea. As for the Wang family’s matter, you… Take care of yourself. Although you are a scholar, the Wang family is also a veteran landlord in Nanchang County. They must have their own connections.”
“Are you very concerned about me?” Chu Heng deliberately lowered his head and looked at her face. There was something in his voice, and his gaze was as scorching as the sun.
Ye Muyu felt that obvious gaze and her heart was in a mess for a moment.
However, she thought of Chu Heng’s deep personality. He deliberately stayed so close to her and suddenly said such ambiguous words. He must have some ulterior motive.
“Have you forgotten that you’re my husband?” She looked up at him calmly. “It’s only right to care about you.”
Chu Heng was speechless.
He had thought of many possible answers, but he never expected Ye Muyu to be so direct and frank.
However, this was indeed in line with her personality.
She was gentle yet firm. She hid great wisdom in her heart and had a calm temperament. It was as if her first reaction would be to think of a solution to any problem that fell on her, and not to let her emotions control her rationality.
“Yes, I am your husband.” Chu Heng thought for a moment, looked at her face, and suddenly smiled. Although it was very short, it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
“I’m going in.”
“Yes.” After Chu Heng left, a smile flashed across Ye Muyu’s face, and her beautiful face returned to her usual expression.
Ye Muyu did not care about Chu Heng’s teasing and walked into the kitchen.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and the temperature had dropped a little.
When he entered the kitchen, he finally did not feel like he was being baked. Because it was Jiangnan, the climate was a little humid. Cooking in the kitchen would not be dry and hot..
