 Chapter 280: So That's How It Is

Guarding Ye Muyu and her daughter, they joined Zhang, Wang, Chu Qingxiang, and Chu Qingyu from a distance.


Seeing that Chu Heng didn't come over, Zhang raised her head to look over and asked curiously, "Third sister-in-law, where is he going? Won't he go back with us?"


"Xie Yu is looking for Third Young Master, but Sister-in-law, there is good news regarding the Wang family." Ye Muyu didn't say much, just dropping a few hints.


As for why Xie Yu was looking for Chu Heng, she didn't know, let alone bring it up.


Hearing Xie Yu's name, Zhang's eyes lit up but she also had self-awareness. The Xie family was beyond her reach. Even if she wanted to have a relationship with the Xie family, it would be with the Xie family's lady, not Xie Yu.


Once Zhang understood the intricacies of the matter, she didn't force it.


It was the Wang family's affairs that made her particularly curious.


"Let's go, quickly go back. Dad and Mom must be anxious."


The group returned to the yard together, only to find that there was already an ox cart in the backyard. Zhang recognized it at a glance, "Isn't this Uncle's ox cart?"


While chatting, they had already walked to the outside of the main hall.


In the house, there came the affectionate voice of Liu Hanlai.


"Uncle."


"Grandpa."


Zhang went in first, led by Chu Qingyu. The other children followed and called out.


Except for the three girls, the boys who were at home studying did not come today.


Ye Muyu followed into the house and saw the white-haired old man sitting in the first place. He looked kind and thin holding a dry tobacco pipe in his hand. Next to him was a basket, containing many wild mushrooms and grains with dew on them indicating their freshness. The items underneath couldn't be seen clearly but they were definitely mountain goods that couldn't be found in Xingshui Village.


Beside the old man were Liu Cheng, and Liu Jiao was also there. Compared to yesterday, she looked even more haggard, with slightly darker eye sockets.


Seeing Ye Muyu come in, she immediately stood up excitedly, which attracted the attention of Old Master Liu Hanlai.


Ye Muyu knew that what Liu Jiao was excited about was the Luchuan standing behind her.


Her expression remained calm, nodded to the old man and said, "Mother, my husband said that Luchuan knows about the situation with the Wang family. It's better to let him come and explain, so we can resolve this matter earlier without worrying."


"Really?" Chu Liushi was also pleasantly surprised. How could she not see the worry in her father's eyes? She deliberately endured not mentioning it to avoid implicating her in this matter. If she really didn't care, she wouldn't have come today.


"Luchuan, what exactly is the situation? You tell us quickly."


Luchuan loudly said, "Returning to Madam's words, this servant went to ask Wang Chuan first, and after learning some information, he went to ask the steward of the Wang family to find out the truth of the matter."


"Who knew, the steward of the Wang family told this servant that Wangs Third Young Master never called anyone to ask for money. He didn't even know that there was leftover deer hide, let alone that Wang Chuan used the leftover materials to make a pair of boots."


"Hearing this news, this servant knew that the matter might be different from what we thought."


"So, this servant went to find Wang Chuan again and confirmed that the one responsible for this matter was a follower of Wang Third Master named Lu Hu."


"This servant then went to inquire about this Lu Hu."


"After spending some time, this servant learned that Lu Hu was just a lackey who usually ran errands for Wang Third Young Master. He was not a servant of the Wang family."


"After that, this servant went to find Lu Hu and after questioning him, he learned that because of gambling, Lu Hu owed the gambling house thirty taels of silver. Coincidentally, when Wang Chuan mentioned the matter of making shoes, he came up with an idea."
