Chapter 569: Taking Over
When Song Qing, who had come to see the commotion, witnessed the scene, she was infuriated but dared not approach to stop the carriage. Her colorful face twisted in anger.
Inside the Chu family carriage, Ye Muyu sat beside Chu Heng after he boarded the carriage, looking at him with concern.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid?" Chu Heng looked at her with a gentle smile, still the same gentle Chu Heng in front of her.
Ye Muyu shook her head, "I'm not afraid, I just don't want you to be angry."
"Don't worry, I'm not angry. When I heard Ah Yu say I'm a good husband, I was overjoyed." Chu Heng's voice was filled with joy.
Chu Jin interrupted, "Dad, you were so cool just now!"
"Dad, are we really okay after what we did to that miss?" Chu Ziluo seemed to be more mature in her thinking, looking worried while seeing her parents and brother completely unconcerned.
Chu Heng looked at Chu Jin "Did you do your homework today?"
Chu Jin's excited face instantly wrinkled up, rubbing his face with both hands, he grumbled in a muffled voice, "Dad, I'll do it when we get back."
"Since you're so idle now, read a book." Chu Heng casually threw him a copy of 'Yuxue Qionglin' "Recite the first essay before we get home."
"Dad..." Chu Jin wailed instantly, but under Chu Heng's stern gaze, he could only sniffle sadly, clutching the book, and reluctantly began reciting with a heavy heart.
Seeing her brother being disciplined, Chu Ziluo quickly realized that her father's gaze was now on her, knowing it was her turn to be disciplined. In a panic, she quickly closed her eyes and lay down on the carriage, "Dad, I'm going to sleep, I won't listen."
"Okay."
Chu Heng agreed, which was considered a promise.
Ye Muyu thought about this kind of calculating affair. The children were still young and listening to it would only add to their troubles. She allowed Chu Heng to handle it like this.
"Don't worry, I've been prepared for this. Before, in order to give my parents an explanation, I went to investigate the Wang family and learned something interesting."
"What is it?" Ye Muyu asked curiously.
Chu Heng didn't hide it from her, "The Wang family has a relationship with the Zhao family in the prefectural capital, and the head of the Zhao family is currently the judge of the prefectural capital."
"This official position is not small. The Wang family actually has a relationship with officials in the prefectural capital. Can the Xie family tolerate the Wang family?" Ye Muyu knew that the Wang family had some backing, but she didn't expect it to be this influential.
It's worth noting that in the county, Mr. Wang is just one of the landlords, with similar power and wealth to other landlords. But it's nowhere near the Xie family's level.
Even though the Xie family has no connections in the prefectural capital after the death of their ancestor officials, their position in Nanchang County is definitely the first. Now that the Wang family has established a relationship with the Zhao judge's family in the prefectural capital, the Xie family should be anxious.
"Of course, they can't tolerate it. However, seeing the Wang family's arrogance, they must be thinking of taking over."
"Coming to us is just an attempt to break the relationship between the two families and eliminate them one by one."
"However, the Wang family probably won't be foolish enough to confront Ye Zhao directly. After all, it's difficult to move a Xie family alone. If they confront Ye Zhao, when Ye Zhao returns to Luoping Pass, it will probably cause even more trouble."
Ye Muyu touched her chin, "But from what I see, I don't think the Wang family can move the Xie family. The Xie family's status is deeply rooted, and their ancestors also have connections with some officials. They don't usually ask for help, but if the Xie family's foundation is damaged and there are favors involved, those people won't turn a blind eye, right?"
