Lu Sangqi clenched his fists tightly, and a hint of hatred flashed across his eyes.
“I won’t do that.” Lu Sangqi looked at her seriously and turned to leave.
“Sigh…” Ye Muyu had just finished her tea when she saw him running away after saying that.
She felt a little uneasy. Would her words have a huge impact on him?
Lu Sangqi must have been suffering from internal strife. Otherwise, he would not have reacted so strongly to being schemed against.
Ye Muyu walked up to Chu Heng and asked worriedly. “After what I said, would Lu Sangqi get agitated and do something bad?”
“Have you guessed his background?” Chu Heng raised his eyebrows and asked.
Ye Muyu glanced at him. “I’m not stupid. It’s just that we’re not familiar with each other. I can’t be too straightforward.”
“Then why did you say so much just now?” Chu Heng was a little jealous. He reached out to pinch her hand and gently drew circles on her palm. Ye Muyu helplessly broke free and patted his hand. “Look, I’m just holding your hand, but you’re not even willing.”
Ye Muyu ignored the man’s jealous words. “He did help me just now. If it wasn’t for him, I would have said those words myself. Wouldn’t that offend the Yu family? I wouldn’t be able to maintain my image as a victim.”
“I didn’t expect my wife to be so smart.” Seeing her raise her eyebrows, Chu Heng complimented her cooperatively.
Ye Muyu blushed at his straightforward praise. She coughed lightly. “I’m not smart. I was forced to do this.”
“Yes, that’s the worst plan. The next time I meet such unreasonable people, call me over, and they’ll be embarrassed.” How could Chu Heng not understand the little tricks played by these rich families? They liked to scheme against people, but they did not dare to say it openly. After all, no one was a fool. As long as there was evidence, they would end up with a ruined reputation.
It was fine if the scheme was small, but if it was too big, they would not be able to bear the price!
Ye Muyu patted him lightly when she saw that he seemed to be serious. “This time, I saw that the girl was up to no good and wanted to waste her time with me. I didn’t want to, so I went against her. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a big matter.”
“This is considered big? I don’t think the Yu family will find a son-in-law in the county. You’re still too kind. Those people need to be beaten up. If they hurt, they won’t dare to cause trouble.” Chu Heng used the gentlest tone to say the fiercest words.
“Oh right, let me tell you a piece of good news. Didn’t Little General Shen and your big brother go to investigate the mountain bandits’ stronghold outside the county town? They had an unexpected harvest.”
“There is a secret passage ten miles outside the city. It leads to a house in the city.”
“That manor belongs to the Yu Family?” Ye Muyu answered subconsciously.
“How do you know?” Chu Heng asked curiously.
Ye Muyu smiled awkwardly. This was the standard plot of many novels and TV series she had read in her previous life. “You’ve already hinted so clearly. How can I not understand?”
Chu Heng had a strange feeling that his wife was too sensitive. A normal person would ask who the house belonged to, right?
“On the surface, it’s a traveling merchant, but in reality, it belongs to the Yu family.”
“In other words, when Little General Shen returns, he will definitely report this news to General Shen. Although General Shen is a General, he has people around him. As long as we find out that the mountain bandits are related to the Yu family, won’t the Yu family be finished?” Ye Muyu asked expectantly.
