PWDLAW Chapter 234: Lunchbox
Chapter 234: Lunchbox
News of Chu Heng befriending the Third Young Master of the Xie family quickly spread throughout the village. Meanwhile, the Tang family, after offending the Chu family became less arrogant than before.
Tang Chuan was putting extra effort into his studies, aspiring for success and not wanting to be stepped on by others. Tang Rou, on the other hand hid in the county and dared not return to the village. She was avoiding Tang Wang's Third Young Master and since she had exchanged her 'geng tie' with the Wang family to get back her family status, she couldn't go back to the Tang family. She was now like an undocumented resident with no place to return.
If it weren't for her previous preparations, she might have been forced to marry into the Wang family, becoming a miserable concubine.
When she left, she took a considerable amount of money from the Tang family, hiring someone to gather information about the Chu family, especially regarding Ye Muyu and Chu Heng.
Learning about Xie Yu's visit, Tang Rou was dumbfounded. How could this be possible?
Xie Yu, the Third Young Master of the Xie family, a future third-ranking official had come to deal with the Chu family in the countryside? Shouldn't they meet in a restaurant in the county?
The village gossip suggested that Chu Heng and the Third Young Master of the Xie family had a good relationship. Tang Rou rubbed her temples, finding it inconceivable. In her past life, these two were only acquaintances at best.
Something was not right.
Exactly. The only thing that wasn't right was Lady Ye!
Could it be that Lady Ye was also reborn?
This foolish woman, Lady Ye, how could she win the favor of so many people, even charming Chu Heng?
Tang Rou felt a sense of injustice. She, too, wanted to marry Xie Yu but considering the special circumstances of the Xie family where Xie Yu was the only one with a chance of passing the exams, marriages were typically arranged by the age of eighteen. Now that she was already eighteen, waiting for two more years would be too late.
As for becoming a concubine, Tang Rou who had suffered from being a concubine in her previous life, had no intention of considering that option again.
What she envied the most was that in her past life, when Chu Heng held a high-ranking official position, there were no concubines in his inner courtyard.
This kind of man could only be shared after enduring the hardships of youth and she could share in his prosperity and wealth. Compared to Xie Yu, Chu Heng was even more outstanding.
She couldn't accept it!
Even if Ye had been reborn, so what? Foolish in the past, could she be clever now?
She must be pretending to be obedient and well-behaved. As long as the temptation was great enough, she would reveal her flaws.
Unfortunately, she could hardly return to the village now, and she could only start with Chu Heng.
Tang Rou secretly schemed, refusing to give up because the more unwilling she was, the more she didn't want to let go, and the more she envied the life that Ye Muyu had in her previous life, the more tightly she clung to Chu Heng.
Little did she know that this greedy heart of hers would never be satisfied.
Ye Muyu, oblivious to Tang Rou's attention wouldn't care even if she knew.
Like a strong soldier blocking the enemy and a rising tide covering the earth, she continued to be unswayed by external factors.
The next morning, Chu Heng packed up his book box, boarded the carriage, and headed to the county school, as usual.
He saw Ye Muyu walking towards him, seemingly carrying a lunchbox.
"What is this?" Chu Heng restrained the joy in his heart, maintaining a serious expression.
Ye Muyu handed him the lunchbox, saying, "There's less than two months left until the provincial exam and I hadn't considered your meals at the school before. I thought that since it's getting hot now, your appetite might be affected, so I made some dishes for you. Heat it up at noon and you can eat it."
"In July, when it's too hot, I'll prepare lunch in advance and send it over."
Interesting TR never wonders if CH was reborn...doesn't that mean after two lifetimes CH didn't learn anything new?
