Chapter 2193: Chapter 2190: Meeting You Is My Blessing
Feeling moved, he looked at Chu Heng, his eyes brimming with tears, though emotions were truly running high.
"Lord Chu, I knew you were a good official..."
"Lord Chu, rest assured, I will do my job well and won’t be foolish."
"I will also pay extra attention!"
Chu Heng: "..." Actually, he just didn’t want to waste talent, after all, so far, he was quite satisfied with these officials.
They can be considered veterans in the Official Gazette Office.
In the future, with them around, there will gradually be a legacy, and of course, his troubles will be reduced, hardly deserving such praise.
Elder Zhong stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Lord Chu is indeed a hero of his generation."
"My lord, please don’t join the fuss." Chu Heng helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Everyone, hurry and get to work, do you still want your bonuses?"
"My lord, I will go at once!"
"And me, wait a minute..."
"Lord Chu, I won’t delay you any further either."
A group of low-ranking officials who are easily moved, happily ran off.
Chu Heng exchanged a glance with Elder Zhong, and the two walked into the house together, speaking quietly about matters.
After Chu Heng left the yamen and returned to the residence, he learned from the housekeeper that Ye Muyu had gone out once during the day and returned quickly.
He walked to the main courtyard.
From a distance, he heard the sounds of laughter and joy.
"Second sister-in-law is here?" Chu Heng entered the courtyard and saw several children of the Chu Cai family, as well as Madam Song. Except for Chu Cai who was busy and couldn’t come over, the others were all present.
"Third Brother." Madam Wang saw Chu Heng, her expression a bit unusual, the kind that carried admiration, yet was hesitant to speak.
Chu Heng saw it clearly, but pretended not to know, walked in, stood beside Ye Muyu, habitually took Nuanbao from her arms, and asked, "Has Nuanbao been fussy?"
"No." Ye Muyu didn’t quite understand.
When she saw the expression on Chu Heng’s face, she realized he had something to say.
She had an inkling, turned to Chu Ziluo and said, "Ziluo, you first arrange for the big kitchen to prepare dinner, then call for the second uncle from inside to help father and mother entertain everyone."
Madam Wang was flattered and quickly waved her hand, "Third sister-in-law, you’re being too polite, there’s no need to entertain us, we’re so familiar."
Ye Muyu nodded.
She followed Chu Heng into the room.
"What’s the matter?" Ye Muyu took the outer garment from his hands and hung it on the clothes rack inside.
It’s known that usually, Chu Heng habitually changes clothes, every day coming back, he will change into a new set.
It was partly due to Ye Muyu’s fear after the Southern Border incident involving medicine, but more so it was his habitual daily changing of clothes to stay clean.
"It’s just something about the yamen..." Chu Heng explained the matters of the yamen, including pulling Elder Zhong to serve as a backup, but the main focus was on the safety of the family.
The officials at the Official Gazette became quite at risk after today’s publication, but he was also a member of the Gazette, especially since he became more outstanding and more heavily relied upon, some officials who could previously tolerate him.
As he increasingly encroached on their interests, it couldn’t be ruled out that someone might panic and act impulsively against him or his family.
The reason for explaining it face to face with Ye Muyu was also not to keep her in the dark, causing her to lose vigilance, besides, he had promised Chu Heng long ago, never to conceal anything major from her.
"This is a good sign." Ye Muyu looked up at him and smiled, praising, "Ah Heng, you’re really impressive. Having you in Great Chu is a blessing for the people, and meeting you is a blessing for me too."
