Chapter 864: Lu Chuan Returns
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
By the time they returned to the county, it was already December.
“Master, Madam…” Butler Luo waited at the door and welcomed the two of them in.
It started to snow today. The two of them only felt better when they returned to the house.
Soon, a layer of snow fell from the courtyard of the house.
Chu Heng brought Ye Muyu into the main courtyard of the backyard. He ordered, “Butler Luo, bring some stoves over. First, warm the house up. Then, get someone to boil some ginger soup.”
“Oh right, where’s Lil’ Jin?”
“Master, the Old Madam and Old Master came last time and are accompanying Young Master in the front courtyard. This servant will call someone over now.”
“Forget it. Let them do their own things first. We’ll eat pot together tonight.”
“Ask the kitchen to boil some hot water.”
With a series of instructions, the entire Chu residence became busy.
The servants also knew that Master and Madam had returned. They did not dare to delay their work and followed the butler’s instructions.
Ziluo was sent back to the courtyard behind. With Madam Hu taking care of her, Ye Muyu was relieved.
After entering the room, a servant girl came in with a
Ye Muyu had been warming her hands with a hand warmer, so she did not feel cold. Chu Heng helped take off her cloak.
“Ah Yu, take a rest first. If it wasn’t for the fact that we were rushing back, we wouldn’t have left in such a hurry.”
“I was afraid that it would snow and delay us halfway. I’m not tired.” Ye Muyu massaged her legs.
When Chu Heng saw this, he immediately called an old maid in to massage her legs.
Ye Muyu was not used to this treatment. However, when she saw the frightened old maid, her heart softened and she tried hard to adapt to this kind of life.
Ye Muyu felt much better after having her shoulders massaged.
Chu Heng changed his clothes and went into the study room. After a while, he came back with a few account books.
“This is the account book in the house. You can read it when you have time. If you have any questions, you can ask Butler Luo directly.”
“Alright.” Ye Muyu took a look and knew that it was the account book of the entire residence. She put it away and called the servant girl to send a small wooden box over. After putting the account book in, she would look at it when she had time.
After a while, a servant came over and said that the hot water was ready.
Chu Heng gestured for Ye Muyu to go wash up first.
Ye Muyu thought about it and did not refuse. She got up and went to the bathroom.
On the other side, Butler Luo rushed over and waited at the door. He waited for Chu Heng to order someone to call him in before he hurriedly bowed and entered.
“Master, Lu Chuan is back.”
“Oh?” Chu Heng did not receive any more letters from Lu Chuan, but he was curious about the Luo family’s situation in Luoyun County.
He nodded in acknowledgment. After a while, Lu Chuan came in with a cold aura. After bowing respectfully, he was given a seat.
“Master, this subordinate has completed the mission and did not disappoint you.”
“This subordinate has heard a lot of news in Luoyun County these two months. That drug was given by Luo Qingxue.”
“She does have a relationship with the Second Young Master of the Luo family. It seems that she almost got married. However, the mother of the second young master of the Luo family didn’t want a wife with such a low status and background. That’s why she wants to seize Madam’s weakness and force Master to help her.”
With a crack, the teacup in Chu Heng’s hand was crushed.
Lu Chuan’s body trembled. He felt that even the brazier in the room could not block the cold air.
As expected, when he raised her head slightly, he saw Chu Heng’s cold expression.
