“I’m not soft-hearted. I can’t wait to pick up a broom and beat him up.” Madam Liu slammed the table in anger.
Chu Zhiwen regained some of his rationality. Seeing that his wife was in a rage, and his son was clearly angry for the first time, he carefully reminded, “Ah Heng, be careful. Don’t get involved. It’s not worth it to ruin yourself for the bad guys.”
“Father, don’t worry.” Chu Heng nodded.
Only then did Chu Zhiwen relax.
Ye Muyu did not expect Chu Heng to be so decisive. Seeing that he was going to avenge her, she felt a sweet joy in her heart. She gently pinched his hand.
Chu Heng replied in the next moment, and their fingers were tightly clasped together.
Ye Muyu blushed and tried to pull her hand out.
Chu Heng immediately grabbed her, not allowing her to escape.
“Father, Mother, we will go back first,” Chu Heng said.
Madam Liu was still angry. She nodded. “Alright, you can go back. Don’t worry about us. If you need help, just let me know.”
Chu Heng nodded and did not say anything else. He held Ye Muyu’s hand and turned to leave.
Lu Chuan returned the next morning.
After returning, he went straight to the study room to report the news to Chu Heng.
Ye Muyu saw them and followed them. She pushed the door open and went in. When she saw them looking at her, she closed the door and walked to Chu Heng. “I want to hear it.”
“Tell me.” Chu Heng pulled her to sit beside him.
“Master,” said Lu Chuan, “I went straight to Luoyun County. I happened to meet a shopkeeper on the way.”
“The other party is about to leave Luoyun County because a new force has bought the shop in Luoyun County.”
“It seems like the power behind this force is very great.”
“One of them is a jewelry shop called Heyue Building.”
“Not only do they sell jewelry, but they also sell all kinds of groceries.”
“Luo Kaisheng’s family does have a decent grocery store, so the Heyue Building took a fancy to it and wanted to buy it.”
“The Luo family is not willing. They just think that this matter is over.”
“However, the Second Master of the Luo family, Luo Dahai, is also addicted to gambling, even though he is talented in business.”
“A few days ago, Luo Dahai owed two thousand taels of silver to the Luo family’s gambling den.”
“Luo Dahai’s used up his entire fortune and Luo Kaisheng’s family also contributed a portion, but there’s still a hole left.”
“Logically speaking, Luo Dahai shouldn’t be in the mood to attend Master’s banquet. However, after I went to Luoyun County, I found that Luo Dahai was still in a good mood, coming and going to the gambling dens.”
“This subordinate was very curious about this, and I thought of what happened at the Heyue Building before, so I went to find the person who usually went to the Luo family to collect the toilet buckets to ask about the Luo family.”
“I’m very lucky. Luo Kaisheng’s family is just an ordinary merchant family. Usually, they can’t even touch the door of the Luo residence.”
“It’s not as good as what others say. I paid attention to it. That person told me that the Old Madam of the Luo family is biased towards the Second Master, Luo Dahai. This time, Luo Dahai’s accident caused the two branches of the Luo family to quarrel endlessly. However, Luo Dahai has been in the Luo family for a long time. The first branch of the Luo family could not resist at all.”
“However, that person said that the Luo family was generous and seemed to be unwilling to accept it. They cleaned up Second Master’s mess every time. Of course, no one said this when they were taking advantage of him.”
“I heard that the Young Miss of the Luo family, Luo Qingxue, seems to have some relationship with a Young Master or Young Miss of the Luo family, so Luo Dahai is a little afraid.”
