 Chapter 285: Choice

Not necessarily.


Xie Yu felt that he couldn't miss the opportunity to make friends with Chu Heng.


Chu Heng looked at him, his expression serious. "You don't need to get too close to me. Your career path is still smooth. If we address each other as brothers and work together in the same court, it will inevitably become more difficult."


Xie Yu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Chu Heng to say such sincere words. Looking into Chu Heng's eyes, he subconsciously believed that his future career would indeed be smooth.


"Brother Xie, how do you know my career is going smoothly?"


"Intuition." Chu Heng replied indifferently.


Xie Yu asked, "...Brother Chu, do you think that woman is dangerous due to intuition as well?"


"Somewhat." Chu Heng had no intention of explaining in detail. He was not a talkative person, except for when it came to Ye Muyu.


Xie Yu was already half convinced.


After a while, he gritted his teeth. "Brother Chu, although I also want a smooth career, who can truly have a smooth career without any waves? Isn't it impossible? Take today's events, for example."


"If I had been successfully calculated by that woman, given her skills, she might have really married into my family. For me, this would be a very abhorrent thing. Although it's just a woman and doesn't affect the overall situation, it's still unpleasant."


"But due to my lack of ability, I was calculated. Now it's just a woman. If it were in the officialdom, those old people who have been immersed in officialdom for many years, how can I guarantee that I can definitely compete with them and not get into trouble or be implicated, receiving rewards and being forgotten?"


"In short, I want to become stronger. Brother Chu, you are now my recognized brother, and I Xie Yu never regret anything." Xie Yu raised his teacup, looking sincerely at Chu Heng.


Chu Heng raised an eyebrow. "I hope you won't regret it."


They clinked their cups, marking the establishment of their brotherhood, rather than the politeness they showed each other before.


Xie Yu grinned happily. "Regret? Xie Yu will never regret it."


"Miss Tang Rou is somewhat unusual." Chu Heng stood up, giving a reminder as he walked away.


Xie Yu quickly stood up and shouted, "Brother Chu, where are you going?"


"I'm going to buy some cloth and bring it back for your sister-in-law to make summer clothes."


Xie Yu exclaimed, "Let me go with you. My family also has a fabric shop."


"No need." Chu Heng had already walked far away.


Xie Yu suddenly remembered and slapped his forehead. Speaking softly, "Right, most of the fabrics in the county are brought back by Brother Chu. He doesn't lack fabrics."


"But Brother Chu, what did you mean by what you said just now? Tang Rou is not simple?" Xie Yu scratched his head. "But isn't Tang Rou almost dead? Why suddenly mention that she's not simple?"


"Could it be a reminder to myself not to underestimate anyone?" Xie Yu pondered. To be on the safe side, he waved to the guard outside the door and sent someone to help Little Six. "Go, help Little Six, that woman cannot leave the east side alive."


"Yes, Third Young Master."

When Chu Heng returned to the courtyard.


Zhang and others, including lunch, were already prepared.


The aroma of the food filled the room.


Ye Muyu had just brought out a basin of pickled fish when she saw Chu Heng.


She opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything, Chu Heng walked up quickly and took the pickled fish from her hands.


"Have you seen Third Young Master? Is there something wrong?" Ye Muyu wiped her hands with the apron and followed him. The elders were all seated in the main hall.


She helped clean the table.


Although the children hadn't come, there were still two tables of people.
