Madam Zhang also realized this and slowly calmed down.
It was only about his daughter’s marriage and the Song family’s shameless actions, so she had indeed lost her temper.
She had to make sure she would not affect Chu Heng’s and her two son’s future.
“No need to be so formal.” Chu Heng nodded.
The Song family’s matter would not affect her.
During this period, he had made a lot of preparations. Other than earning money, he was more prepared for the future exam.
In his previous life, not only did he fail to take the exam, but he also injured his leg and had no choice but to join the army to earn military merits.
He always felt that it was pure bad luck instead of being deliberately schemed against.
Chu Heng naturally would not tell his elders about this, lest his parents worry. After all, even if he told them, it would not help him much.
Madam Liu nodded, indicating that she understood.
Madam Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. Chu Heng was confident, so she was not afraid of implicating him.
Madam Zhang was not stupid. Most of the good days they had today were brought by their third brother. If their third brother was good, their family could be protected and developed steadily.
Chu Heng did not stay any longer and walked out of the hall.
Chu Cai quickly informed his parents and followed Chu Heng home.
When they walked out of the courtyard, Chu Cai obediently followed behind Chu Heng without saying a word.
Chu Heng was not a talkative person, and the two of them kept quiet in harmony.
Lu Chuan led the way with a lantern in his hand.
Chu Heng only stopped when they reached the intersection. “Second Brother, your house is over there,” he reminded Chu Cai.
“Ah? Oh, then be careful on the road, Third Brother. I’ll go back first.” Chu Cai still remembered that he was the older brother. He reminded Chu Heng and turned around to go home.
Lu Chuan looked at Chu Cai’s back and felt that his Second Master’s personality was quite interesting.
If he was not mistaken, he seemed to see trust and dependence in the other party’s eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
Chu Heng’s voice instantly woke him up from his trance.
Lu Chuan quickly shook his head. He did not dare to say that he was just guessing. After all, he knew that Chu Cai would not drag Chu Heng down. As for how complicated their relationship was, it did not matter!
“It’s fine, Master.”
“Let’s go then.”
Chu Heng walked at a steady pace. Lu Chuan, who was holding the lantern beside him, looked more natural. The two of them walked home in the dark, amidst the croaking of a group of frogs.
Halfway there, Chu Heng suddenly looked at the empty pond and said, “Find some time to dig some lotus roots and bring them to the kitchen to make soup for Madam. Tell Madam Hu not to eat them raw. Don’t let the lotus seeds appear on the dining table.”
“This subordinate understands.” Lu Chuan had been with Chu Heng for a long time and had learned some knowledge.
After listening to the old master’s advice, he quickly thought of the fact that lotus seeds were not good for Ye Muyu’s situation, so she definitely could not eat them.
The lotus root was the same when eaten raw, but after it was cooked, it was good for warming the body. Ye Muyu often ate cooked lotus roots to regulate her blood and complexion.
It could be said to be a good tonic.
After thinking about this, he could not help but sigh at the fact that Chu Heng’s heart was indeed filled with Ye Muyu.
He could even think of so many things when he saw a lotus leaf outside.
He also repeated the things to take note of in his heart, not daring to make any mistakes.
Very quickly, they reached home.
Chu Xing’s house next to him had also been built. Even the walls were done. The only thing missing was the floor in the courtyard. He had paved it with stones, crushed stones, and even flattened the soil.
These were all small matters. It did not take much time. Chu Xing could handle it alone..
