Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2059: Chapter 2056: What Exactly Does This Mean

“So what should we do? Should we make up for everything?” Grand Tutor Deng’s eyebrows twitched slightly, feeling a pang of pain, but he dared not risk testing Emperor Xuanming’s intentions. Recently, this man has shown no mercy, calling him into the palace time and again for reprimands. This is definitely not a good sign.

Young Master Deng felt even worse hearing this.

However, soon his mind turned, and he came up with a clever plan.

“Father, although we’ve done such things, there are also other officials who’ve done the same, right? Even Elder Zhong cannot be completely sure that he is absolutely clean. Even if he hasn’t done these things himself, his family may not be entirely free from accepting bribes.”

“So…” Young Master Deng smiled coldly, “We can take this opportunity to drag Chu Heng down.”

Chu family.

The servants sent by the Deng family couldn’t find Ye Muyu, and no one received the shop’s contract they brought; even the tea served was cold.

Angry enough to leave, but remembering the master’s orders, they had to deliver it personally. Where dare they leave without meeting someone first to see the Chu family’s attitude before reporting back to their master?

Meanwhile, Ye Muyu, who was being mentioned.

At this moment, she was in the bathhouse, watching the final touches being put in place. Once all the tiles were covered today, the entire shop would be completed, leaving only the interior decoration.

Lu Chuan suddenly came over and said someone sent by Grand Tutor Deng came to discuss the shop. Her first reaction was to wonder what scheme Grand Tutor Deng had, immediately followed by thinking about the surprise Chu Heng mentioned last night.

Could Chu Heng really make Grand Tutor Deng bow down?

Thinking about the Deng family’s way of doing things, she felt it unlikely.

With this doubt, she returned to the family.

After changing clothes, she came out to entertain the housekeeper from the Deng residence.

“Madam.” Steward Deng forced a stiff smile, unable to hide the grievances evident on his face.

Ye Muyu inexplicably felt that the other party wanted to get rid of her but couldn’t, a bizarre bliss spot.

“Ahem, for what purpose does Steward Deng come here?” Ye Muyu was indeed curious about what Grand Tutor Deng was up to, not bothering to find an excuse for being late.

In Steward Deng’s view, this was simply disrespect for the Deng family, utterly arrogant, his chest rising and falling, if it were someone else, words of ridicule would surely have slipped out.

Even so, Steward Deng’s tone wasn’t particularly good, “My master said, since Lord Chu wants that shop in South City, naturally, he won’t take what someone loves, so he sent the servant to deliver the property deed for Lord Chu to accept.”

“Since it’s a gift for our family master, perhaps you’d wait for him to return before delivering a message to your residence?” Ye Muyu inwardly applauded Chu Heng, watching Steward Deng’s unhappy appearance, as if seeing Grand Tutor Deng furiously stomping behind.

Undeniably, she felt incredibly satisfied.

With Grand Tutor Deng directly sending assassins to attack the family, she already considered the Deng family enemies. This conflict was irreconcilable, and she naturally relished their misfortune.

With a few words, she saw off Steward Deng, having someone escort him out.

Ye Muyu then sent a message to Chu Heng in the camp.

She wasn’t in a hurry to go to the bathhouse as it would take until tomorrow for all the tiles to be completed and inspected. She had already gone today, so she wasn’t anxious.

She asked Liuye to go out to probe today’s major events in the court.

In Great Chu, public discourse is relatively free, and many times court matters are spread by people.

Thus, Ye Muyu quickly learned that Chu Heng had entered the palace today.
