“I heard that the Luo family’s first branch is looking to use some connections, hoping to borrow 500 taels.”
“However, Luo Dahai wants to directly give the Luo family’s branch’s grocery store to Heyue Building. I heard that they have already negotiated a price. Heyue Building is even willing to hire Luo Dahai as the manager of one of the branches.”
“This news was only heard by the man who clears the toilet buckets when he accidentally saw the two brothers quarreling.”
“I gave him some silver and asked the man. I also sat in the teahouse near the Luo family for around three hours and heard some news. Because the Luo family’s backyard is not strict, there will be news from time to time. This subordinate has confirmed it and it is extremely credible.”
“As for Luo Qingxue, she should have a good relationship with the Second Young Master of the Luo family.”
“I heard that the Eldest Young Master of the Luo family fell off his horse when he was young, causing his legs to be injured. He has been in a wheelchair since he was eight years old. Until now, he is already twenty-three years old, but he is still alone.”
“I also heard that the Eldest Young Master of the Luo family has a bad temper. He’s eccentric and has ruthless methods. In the entire Luo family, he’s a person that everyone avoids and secretly talks about.”
“I heard that in recent years, the Luo family’s Eldest Master has been in poor health. I’m afraid he’s going to decide on a successor, and the Second Young Master is the most suitable and popular candidate.”
“If Luo Qingxue can get close to the Second Young Master of the Luo family, she should be able to save her family from the fire and water, and keep the shop, and use Luo Dahai, her second uncle, as a stepping stone.”
“But this subordinate has asked, the Luo family has no intention of helping this side branch. Although there are two days in a month when Luo Qingxue will appear at the Luo family’s Second Master’s house on the outskirts of Luoyun County, she always goes alone and comes back alone.”
“I can’t find out the exact situation. Can you let me go again? We should be able to get some news if we keep watch near the residence.”
Chu Heng listened to all the news. There was no extra emotion on his face. “Sure. You can go over and continue to investigate. See who in the Luo family has this drug.”
Chu Heng handed Lu Chuan a paper bag containing the medicinal powder.
Lu Chuan thought that he would be reprimanded, but who knew that Chu Heng would agree to let him go again? However, he did not ask any more questions. He nodded and went out.
Before he went to Luoyun County, he followed Chu Heng’s instructions and went to Lu Sangqi to ask about its efficacy. After that, he left the village and went to Luo Yun County.
Just as Ye Muyu was about to speak to Chu Heng, Madam Hu knocked on the door and said that the cold medicine and body medicine were ready and had been brought over.
Ye Muyu walked to the door and brought it in personally.
The banquet continued, but with Han Zhuang and the others watching, as well as the help of Madam Zhang and Madam Wang, it went smoothly.
Ye Muyu returned to the desk with the medicine.
Chu Heng picked up her bowl and fed her before drinking his own.
“Ah Heng, do you think it’s possible that Luo Qingxue and her mother drugged us this time?” Ye Muyu asked suspiciously.
Chu Heng took out a piece of paper and laid it on the desk. He slowly ground it. “It’s possible.”
“I’m just not sure.” Ye Muyu thought that Luo Dahai was also a suspect. Since he could force Luo Kaisheng and his family to sell the shop, he might be able to coerce Luo Qingxue and her daughter to frame her.
However, no matter who it was, Luo Dahai, Luo Qingxue, and Chu Hongmei were not innocent. It was just a matter of who was the mastermind and who was the accomplice.
Ye Muyu was not in a hurry. Even if she wanted to take revenge, she had to first investigate the other party’s background.
