Song Lu’s pupils constricted. His guess had been confirmed. As expected, he had been too weak to even think about dealing with the Wang family. Now, Chu Heng’s attitude had slapped him in the face, causing his dissatisfaction with this matter to surface.
If he offended a landlord, the Song family would definitely have a harder time in the future. Since that was the case, why should he give in? He might as well pull out the other party’s teeth so that it would no longer have the ability to hurt him.
“It’s okay. I’m willing.” Song Lu’s voice was more determined than ever.
He was not afraid. Instead, he was happy that he could contribute.
“Alright, in that case, I’ll get Zhang Shu to send you to the county. Someone will tell you what to do.” Ye Muyu naturally would not reject such a helper.
After that, the two of them did not say anything else and watched Song Lu and Zhang Shu leave in the mule cart.
Madam Hu did not know the details. She only asked, “Madam, is Scholar Song really here to apologize?”
“Naturally.” Ye Muyu nodded.
‘Why is he only here now?” Madam Hu asked hesitantly. “Don’t you think it’s too late?”
“Also, why didn’t he go to the old residence to explain? He just left like that. I wonder what the Old Madam and the others think.”
Ye Muyu hesitated for a moment. “I forgot about this…”
“What does this have to do with you, Madam? It’s Song Lu who didn’t think it through. If it were Master, he would definitely explain it to Madam personally before leaving.” Madam Hu admired Chu Heng from the bottom of her heart. No one could compare to him, so she was undoubtedly protective of him.
Ye Muyu touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little guilty. “Actually, he didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Even so, it is still too inattentive…”
Ye Muyu coughed and quickly changed the topic. “We were planning to make pumpkin balls, right? Come, let’s do it.”
“Madam, I’ll go prepare the ingredients now…” Madam Hu’s attention was indeed diverted.
Ye Muyu looked at the sky and could only hope that Chu Heng’s trip would go smoothly.
On Song Lu’s side, he quietly entered the second residence and was led by Zhang Shu to meet Luo Qisheng.
Zhang Shu only said that Madam had asked him to bring Song Lu and left.
‘What does Madam mean?” Luo Qisheng asked as he looked at Song Lu.
“Madam Chu promised to let me help Scholar Chu. If I can enter Landlord Wang’s house, no one will suspect me,” Song Lu immediately explained his value.
He knew that he was trying to atone for his sins, and this butler did not seem to be as easy to get along with as Madam Chu. Naturally, he would not waste his breath.
“How can I trust you?” Luo Qisheng narrowed his eyes.
“This is a token from Madam Chu.” Song Lu quickly handed the note to Luo Qisheng.
Luo Qisheng took the note and saw the familiar number on it. He was more than half convinced. He quickly put the note away and said without a change in expression, “I trust Madam, but I don’t trust you. Since you’re willing to help, I’ll give you a few tasks first. I’ll believe you if you do them.”
“Alright,” Song Lu agreed without hesitation.
“Go to the Song family and tell Landlord Wang…” Luo Qisheng quickly gave him a few unrelated tasks. Some were to go to the Wang family, some were to ask about the birth mother of the Wang family’s Third Miss, and one was to inquire about the favorite food of the Wang family’s gatekeeper.
Although each of them sounded related to the Wang family, they could not be
