Chapter 1683: Chapter 1680: Hospitality

“Is it in Rongzhou?” Ye Muyu asked, having already posed the question.

Madam Wang was surprised: “Ah, Third Brother’s Wife, you know too. It seems there are indeed many troubles in that area. If we had known, we would have taken the water route.”

Taking the water route was not possible, as the northern rivers had not yet completely thawed and were unsuitable for navigation.

Madam Wang could only imagine this. Although there were some unexpected incidents along the way, the people Chu Heng arranged protected them very well. There were no incidents, and they were unharmed, just a bit frightened.

Chu Cai thought for a moment and said, “Actually, Third Brother arranged things very well. He told us before we came that there might be unexpected events on the road. My Second Sister-in-law and I discussed it and made preparations before coming to the capital.”

“Although those bandits had bad intentions, we were prepared. They didn’t gain any advantage. Moreover, I heard that the Prefectural City had already arranged people to suppress the bandits. We don’t know the result because we left in a hurry, fearing more unexpected events. We thought arriving early in the capital would minimize risks and prevent Third Brother from worrying too much, as he was constantly sending messages inquiring about us.”

“So right now, we don’t know the situation of the bandit suppression in Rongzhou.”

Ye Muyu finally understood that Chu Cai’s family had been under Chu Heng’s protection throughout their journey to the capital, all for their safety, and because of her.

She had suggested that Chu Cai’s family come to the capital for development. The biggest reason was simple: keep the opportunities within the family.

Her initial suggestion was casual, just to find a suitable person to manage the Wood Workshop. Chu Heng not only agreed but had considered other factors and quietly did so much behind the scenes, without mentioning it to her, as if these were trivial matters.

Ye Muyu felt a bit moved and suddenly wanted to see Chu Heng.

Even though they had just seen each other earlier in the morning, she still missed him dearly by late morning.

After confirming that nothing else happened on the road, they were nearly done with the meal.

Chu Cai and Madam Wang had indeed suffered a lot on the road, rushing and sitting in the carriage for so long. No matter how many soft cushions were placed, it was not very comfortable.

On the road, they didn’t have much of an appetite.

Finally arriving at the capital, they had a chance to catch their breath and enjoyed a very satisfying lunch.

After lunch, Ye Muyu instructed the prepared servants to take them back to the courtyard to rest.

For convenience, Ye Muyu arranged for the whole family to stay in the same courtyard, where there were enough guest rooms for them to live independently without feeling crowded.

The separate courtyard was quieter, allowing them to care for each other.

At the same time, Ye Muyu had arranged for someone to clean the two-entry courtyard she had purchased earlier.

Although the two-entry courtyard was not large, it was spacious enough for Chu Cai’s small family, and even Chu Qingyu could have her own space.

Initially, she had dispatched people to clean the courtyard regularly but could never confirm their arrival date, so it was cleaned every few days. Coincidentally, it had been three days since the last cleaning, so now was the best time for Ye Muyu to send someone.

When Ye Muyu returned to the courtyard, she was about to ask Su Mei how Chu Heng had responded, as she had already notified him of Chu Cai’s family’s arrival.

However, though there was no news from Chu Heng, a major event had occurred in the capital.

“Lady, big news.” Chun Xing hurriedly entered from outside the courtyard.
