PWDLAW Chapter 586: Situation
Chapter 586: Situation
Especially the question about the servant's favorite food made him feel that the other party was just asking random questions to make things difficult for him.
If it had been the Song Lu of the past, he would definitely have been resentful and would have argued his case.
But now his pride had been worn down considerably and he was more humble. Without any questioning, he agreed to these tasks and left.
Once Song Lu left, Luo Qisheng quickly entered the study and wrote a letter, which he had someone deliver to Chu Heng.
In the days that followed, Ye Muyu hoped for a letter every day.
Since the clan demanded that its members restrain themselves and not cause trouble and to stay as low-key as possible, after praying for Chu Heng's success in the imperial examinations, the Chu family in the village quieted down.
Even Ziluo went to learn double-sided embroidery at regular intervals.
Even Chu Xing stopped going out to do business and stayed home every day to finish the recently repaired house.
The men in the clan worked during the day and made Zhuge Suo in their spare time.
The Zhuge Suo nearby weren't selling anymore, but Chu Xing had discussed with Chu Heng to have the caravan sell them, so the clan could still make some money.
The boys continued their studies.
And every household in the clan gained an inconspicuous servant.
Even in her own home, there were two simple and honest servants who lived in Luchuan's house. One named Liu Hai usually went to the county with Zhang Shu to gather information.
The other named Han Zhuang helped with chores at home.
And Ye Muyu tried to stay at home as much as possible, hardly ever leaving the house.
Days passed by incessantly.
Ye Muyu learned some news every day through Zhang Shu.
At first, Zhang Shu brought back news about Song Lu: "Madam, this servant has learned that Song Lu goes to the Wang family every day. It is said that Song Lu hopes that the Wang family will not hold a grudge against his family. Now, everyone in the county knows that Song Lu has offended the Wang family, and even his classmates dare not contact him too much."
"Besides going to the Wang family on time every day, he also goes to the bookstore to copy books to earn some money. He also rented the most dilapidated house in the county."
Ye Muyu knew that Song Lu had already started taking action and she hoped he would succeed.
Then, two days later, Zhang Shu brought back more news.
"Today, when Song Lu came out of the Wang family's house, he seemed to be limping a bit. Later, this servant followed him and saw him go to the pharmacy to buy medicine for bruises and injuries."
Ye Muyu's pupils contracted. "Where is he injured?"
"It's his knees and chest. It seems that the knee injury is from kneeling, and the chest injury is from being cut by some sharp object." Zhang Shu also admired Song Lu a bit. He didn't want to be the son-in-law of the Wang family, but for the sake of his family, he was willing to beg like this, even sacrificing his dignity. It had to be said that he was definitely the top scholar among them.
"Secretly send him some medicine. Go find Doctor Qi from the village and ask him to give you some of the medicinal wine he researched last time." Ye Muyu said, handing over some silver coins.
Zhang Shu nodded in understanding.
Speaking of the medicinal wine, this was something that Chu Heng had told her about before he left. He had given the prescription for the medicinal wine to Lu Sangqi, asking him to research it.
Ye Muyu only knew then that Chu Heng had already colluded with Lu Sangqi, otherwise he wouldn't have given him the prescription for the medicinal wine. When she wanted Chu Heng to take Lu Sangqi with him the next day, she woke up to find that Chu Heng had already left. She then realized that Chu Heng had deliberately left Lu Sangqi behind.
It was all for the sake of having a doctor at home without having to go to the county and be seized upon by the Wang family.
