Especially the matter of food that the manservant liked. It made Song Lu feel that the other party was just casually asking questions to make things difficult for him.
If it was Song Lu’s previous personality, he would definitely be indignant and argue with reason.
However, his arrogance had been worn down a lot now. He was even more humble. Without any questions, he agreed to these things and turned around to leave.
Luo Qisheng waited for him to leave before quickly entering the study room.
He wrote a letter and had someone deliver it to Chu Heng.
In the following days…
Ye Muyu looked forward to receiving a letter every day.
Ever since the Chu family had asked their clansmen to restrain themselves, not to leave the village unless it was a major event, not to cause trouble, to keep a low profile as much as possible, and to pray for blessings at home for Chu Heng, who was going to attend the examination, the Chu family members in the village had all quieted down.
As for Ziluo, she would go to learn double-sided embroidery every day.
Even Chu Xing had stopped going out to do business and stayed at home every day to finish up the newly built house.
As for the men in the family, they worked during the day and made Zhuge Lock parts in their spare time.
Zhuge Locks could not be sold nearby, but Chu Xing and Chu Heng had discussed it and let the caravan sell them. Naturally, the family would still make it.
The boys continued reading.
Every household in the family had an inconspicuous servant.
Even in Ye Muyu’s own house, two extra honest-looking servants lived in Lu Chuan’s room. The one called Liu Hai usually went to the county town with Zhang Shu to ask for information.
The one called Han Zhuang was helping out at home.
As for Ye Muyu, she tried her best to stay home and rarely left the house.
Time passed.
Ye Muyu got some news from Zhang Shu every day.
At the beginning, Zhang Shu brought back news about Song Lu. ‘Madam, I heard that Song Lu goes to Landlord Wang’s house every day. I heard that Song Lu hopes that Landlord Wang won’t hold it against his family. Now, everyone in the county knows that Song Lu has offended Landlord Wang. Even his classmates don’t dare to have too much contact with him.”
“Other than going to Landlord Wang’s house regularly, he would go to the bookstore to copy books to earn money. He also rented the most dilapidated house in the county.”
Ye Muyu knew that Song Lu had already started to work. She hoped that things would go smoothly for him.
Two days passed.
Zhang Shu brought back another piece of news.
“Song Lu came out of the Wang Family today. His legs were injured. Later, I followed him and saw him go to the medicine shop to buy medicine for his injuries.”
“Where is he injured?” Ye Muyu’s pupils constricted.
“It’s his knee and chest. It seems like the knee injury was caused by kneeling, and the chest was cut by some sharp weapon.” Zhang Shu was also impressed. Song Lu was unwilling to be the son-in-law of the Wang family, but for the sake of his family, he was willing to plead with them like this. He did not even care about his face. It had to be said that he was definitely the number one scholar.
After all, scholars had pride.
“Send him some medicine secretly. Go find Doctor Qi in the village and ask him to give you some of the medicinal wine he developed last time,” Ye Muyu said as she handed over the money.
Zhang Shu nodded when he heard that, indicating that he understood.
Speaking of medicinal wine, Chu Heng had told her about it before he left. He had given the prescription to Lu Sangqi and asked him to study it.
Ye Muyu then realized that Chu Heng had already allied with Lu Sangqi.
Otherwise, Chu Heng would not have given him the prescription. She wanted
Chu Heng to take Lu Sangqi with him the next day, but when she woke up, Chu Heng had already left. Only then did she realize that Chu Heng deliberately kept Lu Sangqi.
He did this so that his family would not need to go to the county to ask for a doctor, fearing that the Wang family might take advantage of the situation..
