 Chapter 359: Bitter Melon Tea

A thought flashed through her mind: 'As expected, this person, after saying it's our first meeting, ends with a meaningful 'take care'? So, he wants to remind Chu Heng that she's not meeting him for the first time.'


Chu Heng's deep gaze was fixed on Qisang. "Doctor Qisang, are you reminding me that you mistreated my wife and daughter yesterday?"


"I presume Doctor Qisang is here today to apologize."


Chu Heng's firm attitude surprised Qisang. He had initially planned to tarnish Ye Muyu's reputation and make her suffer a bit. Unexpectedly, Chu Heng, whom he thought was just a facade, took the initiative.


Qisang had heard about Chu Heng's reputation in the village. Seeing him today shattered his preconceptions. This man was indeed fearless.


"Aren't you afraid of making me angry?" Qisang couldn't help asking. In his view, for a man he disliked, he would make him lose face by apologizing directly.


Chu Heng casually tapped his fingers on the table. "What can you do if I make you angry?"


His voice was indifferent without a trace of worry, let alone fear.


Qisang's gaze sharpened. "Master Chu, as the villagers say, you do have courage. If I say that if you speak up for Madam Ye today, I can make you lose the opportunity for this year's imperial examination, will you still protect her?"


Hearing this, Ye Muyu tightened her hand, concealed in her sleeve. She remained calm on the surface. "Doctor Qisang, you will inevitably sacrifice something to frame others. Why bring trouble to yourself for the sake of two strangers who may not meet again in the future?"


"Oh? Make me lose the chance for the imperial examination?" Chu Heng's voice even carried a hint of delight.


Ye Muyu wasn't sure what he was thinking. She looked at him with some concern.


She knew how important the imperial examination was to Chu Heng. Losing this opportunity would indeed be a significant blow.


Chu Heng nodded slightly towards Ye Muyu, assuring her not to worry.


He then turned to Qisang. "Doctor Qisang, as of now I am just an ordinary scholar. Perhaps, I don't have much influence. Why not give it a try? I'm actually curious about how you would make me lose this opportunity."


"If Doctor Qisang could inform me in advance, it would be even better."


Qisang's expression darkened a bit. Chu Heng's fearless attitude and the warning look in his eyes surprised him.


He was actually warned!


After the incident with Ye Muyu, Qisang reflected on himself. He acted too impulsively and in the end, he was caught in a trap.


Chu Heng lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea. "Doctor Qisang, I believe you have already weighed the consequences."


"Why not let me guess your relationship with Doctor Lu?"


Qisang's eyes narrowed slightly, struggling to control his temper. He reached for the teacup, drank a sip, and when a bitter taste spread in his mouth, his expression changed slightly. Suppressing his anger, he said, "You guys are capable!"


This couple made the villagers wary for a reason. With just this skill, who in the village could match them?


But before he came, Qisang had checked. The two had never left Nanchang County. Well, perhaps Chu Heng had a broader knowledge but even so, where did he get the confidence?


As Qisang pondered, Ye Muyu smiled and spoke, "Doctor Qisang, I noticed you often have a hot temper. I served you some fresh bitter gourd tea to cool you down. I hope you don't mind."


"I knew it was you." Qisang heard her words and came back to his senses, showing a bit of resentment. This woman was indeed malicious.
