After dinner, the sky was almost dark. Chu Jin was called by Chu Heng to the study room to practice his calligraphy.
Ye Muyu had planned to finish the clothes on hand.
Just as she was about to leave the kitchen and return to the east wing, someone came.
It was Chu Lin. He knocked on the door and was brought in by Zhang Shu.
“Big Brother, why are you here so late?” Ye Muyu stood in front of the hall and asked.
However, this time, the Cao family was in the wrong. “It’s Eldest Uncle’s side. He asked Third Brother to come home for dinner.”
No wonder before he came, his wife said that his Third Sister-in-law must be in a good mood. She was right.
“Only my husband is invited?” Ye Muyu asked.
“Not really. There’s still mom and dad.” Chu Lin shook his head.
“Okay, I’ll tell my husband. Big Brother, please sit down for a while. Auntie Hu, help me pour some tea.” Ye Muyu turned around and went into the study after giving the instructions.
Chu Lin did not even have the chance to say it out loud. He was ushered into the central room by Madam Hu and sat down in the blink of an eye. There was even winter melon tea in front of him.
“Sir, please sit down and have some tea. Master will be here in a while.”
“Have you guys finished dinner?” Chu Lin asked subconsciously as he smelled the fragrance in the air.
“We’ve already had dinner,” Madam Hu nodded.
Ye Muyu walked to the door. Chu Heng, who was teaching Chu Jin, stopped when he saw her. He let the child read slowly and walked out slowly.
“It’s Eldest Brother. He said that Eldest Uncle is inviting you over for dinner. Father and Mother are also invited.” Ye Muyu knew that it had something to do with her delivering the dishes in the afternoon.
She just did not know what the other party would say.
“Oh? Looking for me? Looks like they’re planning to give me an explanation.” Chu Heng raised his eyebrows. He was in a good mood. He lowered his head and looked at her. He raised his hand and stroked her long hair. “Don’t worry. They came in time to show that they were guilty and wanted to reconcile with me. If not for that, I wouldn’t have waited all this time.”
“So you’ve been waiting for the clan leader to take the initiative to look for you.” Ye Muyu nodded in realization. No wonder this man did not react at all when he heard about the farce in the village. Logically speaking, he would go to the prefecture for the exam in less than a month. He would never allow anyone to slander his reputation. With his personality, how could he pretend that nothing had happened?
At the very least, the Cao family would have to pay the price. They would no longer have the guts to target him. That was what he would do.
He was not pretending that nothing had happened. He was waiting for the clan to express their stance first before he took the initiative.
Ye Muyu was relieved.
“Then I’ll leave the lights on for you later. Be careful on the road.” Ye Muyu had nothing to worry about. Chu Heng was not the kind of person who would suffer losses. No wonder his status in the clan remained unchanged even though he failed the examination twice.
Ye Muyu had misunderstood. The Chu family valued Chu Heng because they valued scholars. Chu Heng was good at reading, so he was naturally valued.
“You don’t have to wait for me. Rest early.” Chu Heng did not know when he would be back, so he did not ask her to do needlework at night while waiting for him.
Ye Muyu nodded casually. “Okay, okay. I understand. You should go now. Don’t make them wait too long.”
“Okay, I’ll go and come back early.” Since he had already achieved his goal, Chu Heng did not intend to delay this matter.
Chu Heng went to the central room and called Chu Lin. He also brought Lu Chuan with him and carried the oil lamp to the clan leader’s house..
