Xie Yu felt that he could not miss the opportunity to befriend the other party.
Chu Heng looked at him with a serious expression. “You dont have to get too close to me. Your career is still very smooth. If you call me brother, it will inevitably be more difficult for us to be officials in the same dynasty in the future.”
Xie Yu was slightly startled. He did not expect Chu Heng to say such sincere words. Looking at his eyes, he subconsciously believed that his future career would be smooth.
“Brother Xie, how did you know that my career is going well?” “Intuition,” Chu Heng said lightly.
Xie Yu was speechless. “Big Brother Chu, you felt that the woman was dangerous because of your intuition?”
“I guess so.” Chu Heng did not have the intention to explain in detail. He was not a talkative person. However, he was different if it was toward Ye Muyu.
Xie Yu had already believed half of it in his heart.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, “Big Brother Chu, although I also want to have a smooth career, who can really have a smooth career without a ripple? I don’t think that’s possible.”
“Take today’s incident as an example.”
“If I am successfully tricked by that woman, with her ability, she will probably marry into my family. This is a very disgusting thing for me. Although she’s just a woman and won’t affect me much, I was schemed against because of my lack of ability.”
“It’s only a woman now. However, if I enter the officialdom, how can I guarantee that I can defeat those old men who have been immersed in the officialdom for many years? How can I guarantee that I won’t be implicated in any accidents and not get the rewards I deserve?”
“In short, I want to become stronger. Brother Chu, you are my brother now. I, Xie Yu, never regret anything.” Xie Yu raised his teacup and looked at him sincerely.
“I hope you won’t regret it.” Chu Heng raised his eyebrows.
After clinking glasses with him, this brother had finally recognized him. It was not like before when they were just being polite to each other.
“Regret?” Xie Yu grinned happily. “I, Xie Yu, will not regret it.”
“That woman Tang Rou isn’t simple.” Chu Heng stood up, reminded her, and walked out.
“Big Brother Chu, where are you going?” Xie Yu hurriedly stood up and shouted.
“I’m going to buy some fabric and bring them back to make summer clothes for your sister-in-law.”
“I’ll go with you. My family also has a fabric shop.”
“No need.” Chu Heng had already walked far away.
Xie Yu suddenly remembered. He patted his head and said in a low voice,
“That’s right. Most of the fabric in the county was brought back by Brother Chu’s men. He doesn’t lack fabric.”
“However, what did Brother Chu mean by what he said just now? Tang Rou isn’t simple?” Xie Yu scratched his head, “But isn’t Tang Rou about to die? Why did you suddenly say that the other party is not simple?”
“Could it be that he’s reminding himself not to underestimate anyone?”
Xie Yu touched his chin. Just in case, he waved to a guard outside the door and sent more people over. “Go, help Little Six. That woman can’t leave the east of the city alive.”
“Yes, Third Young Master.”
Chu Heng returned to the courtyard.
Madam Zhang and the others had already prepared lunch.
The fragrance of the rice filled the entire room.
Ye Muyu had just come out with a plate of fish with pickled cabbages when she saw Chu Heng.
She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Chu Heng strode over and took the dish from her hand.
“Have you finished meeting Third Young Master? Is there something wrong?” Ye Muyu wiped her hands with her apron and followed him. The elders were all sitting in the central room.
Ye Muyu helped to wipe the table clean.
Although the children were not there, there were still two tables of people..
