Other than that, it was Chu Heng who had left on a long journey.

“This servant will tell him now.” Madam Hu cleaned up the used teacups on the table and went out to call Zhang Shu to tell him about it.

Zhang Shu quickly brought Chu Ziluo home, using the excuse of needing to take care of Chu Jin at home.

The others in the clan also knew that Chu Jin was frightened.

Although it was not as serious as Zhang Cong, he was still young, and even the doctors could not be sure if he would suddenly show symptoms. The other members of the Chu family could not keep Chu Ziluo around.

After that, Chu Jin pretended to be sick at home, and Chu Ziluo stayed by Ye Muyu’s side every day to learn how to cook from her.

It was close to noon.

Han Zhuang was back.

He brought back more details.

“Madam, last night, the Wang family took the opportunity to search the entire county office. They probably know some details about the Xie family.” “Even the Wang family knows about Master’s caravan.”

“In fact, after opening the city gates this morning, I learned that Landlord

Wang had offered a large bounty on Tang Rou. It seems that the death of the

Third Young Master really has something to do with Tang Rou.”

“This subordinate went to ask Butler Luo and learned that Tang Rou should have been at the Wang family’s house the entire time. Perhaps Tang Rou suggested that the Wang family sent people to kill Tang Bao and frame Young Master.”

“Yesterday, this subordinate followed Madam’s orders and spread those rumors. It seems that Landlord Wang forcefully captured Tang Rou and sent her to Third Young Master’s bed. By letting the two of them do it, the rumors would naturally be solved.”

“However, not long after that, the Third Young Master died. The other concubine went crazy, and Tang Rou went missing.” Han Zhuang told her everything he knew. Most of it was explained to him by Butler Luo.

With Butler Luo’s intelligence, he had already guessed the general truth when

Song Lu brought back the news yesterday and the Wang family was in trouble.

Thinking that it was Madam’s idea that caused Landlord Wang’s family to be in trouble, which provided Chu Heng more opportunities, Butler Luo was naturally willing to send the news back.

Han Zhuang did not know about this. He only knew that if he did not answer

Madam’s question, he would definitely be punished when Master came back.

‘What about the criminal in the county office?” Ye Muyu suddenly changed the topic.

“I heard he died,” Han Zhuang replied.

“Dead? Didn’t I tell you to protect him?” Ye Muyu was surprised.

“Madam, don’t worry. He’s only ‘dead’ in name. In fact, he’s being protected by the Young Master of the Xie family,” Han Zhuang hurriedly said.

“That’s good.” Ye Muyu heaved a sigh of relief. “It seems that the Wang Family has really made a move against him.”

“Madam, Butler Luo said that you must not leave the house during this period.

We will always stay at home to protect Madam, Young Master, and Young Miss.” Han Zhuang followed up. This was what Butler Luo had ordered. His mission was to protect Ye Muyu, Chu Jin, and Chu Ziluo. He believed it without thinking.

Ye Muyu nodded. This was similar to her decision.

After making her decision, she realized that the uneasiness in her heart had lessened a lot. She decided that she might encounter danger if she went out.

“You guys have to be more careful at night.”

The incident with the thief made Ye Muyu realize that people could die for benefits in this era.

In the afternoon, Chu Ziluo no longer went to Chu Cai’s house.

She was bored, so she followed Madam Hu to make dried sweet potatoes.

She also taught Ye Muyu about double-sided embroidery.

With the bookshop, Ye Muyu had Chu Heng as an excuse to write down some books from memory. As it was a handwritten copy, she would leave it at home for the two children to read so that it would not arouse any suspicion..
