Chapter 2238: Chapter 2235: Choice

Just as he was about to inquire when exactly Madam would return.

A carriage was parked outside the mansion gate.

At this time, a maidservant came over: "Gatekeeper lad, my lady is from the home of Imperial Censor Guo, here to visit Madam." The maidservant said with a smile.

The gatekeeper, upon hearing this, recalled Madam’s instructions and found an excuse to steady the visitor and defer to a later time to entertain them.

"I’m truly sorry, my lady is unwell and not receiving guests these days. Does Madam Guo have an invitation card?"

The faces of the two women from the He family slightly changed.

Their hearts were smothered with a sense of hopelessness.

Upon hearing this, the maidservant smiled without speaking: "Since Madam is unwell, then my lady won’t disturb."

With that, she left.

"The two of you...?" The gatekeeper looked at the two women from the He family, his attitude was still fairly good.

But at this point, the two women could not feel anything else, their minds were filled with the word "finished", and they left as if mourning, without hearing clearly what the gatekeeper said.

And just at the corner.

The carriage that had passed by the Chu mansion earlier came to a stop.

The maidservant in pink walked over and stopped the two.

"Are you two in trouble?"

Without waiting for the two women from the He family to answer, the maidservant in pink spoke on her own: "My lady is the Imperial Censor’s Wife, if there are any grievances, you can come to our residence."

With that, the maidservant in pink displayed a friendly expression: "It’s at Guo Mansion on ×× Street."

Upon hearing her words, the two women from the He family felt a bit flattered, but their brows were still furrowed, not responding.

The maidservant in pink said nothing more, turned around and boarded the carriage then left.

Until they returned home.

Coincidentally, the Eldest Son He woke up, heard his wife and mother talking about today’s events, and saw the worry on their faces.

He suddenly thought of the person who approached him this morning, asking if he ever took dividends from the restaurant, believing it was someone from the government in plain clothes inquiring about the situation.

Naturally, he did not pay attention, especially since his monthly salary was substantial, and the benefits were good, staying at Yonghe Restaurant was much better than elsewhere.

He also did not wish for anything to happen to the restaurant.

To those with ill intentions, naturally he showed no courtesy.

But, who knew, the person subtly hinted at falsifying evidence and offered silver.

Recalling how no matter how muddled his father was, he would not gamble so greatly, it was clear someone was deliberately framing them today.

As anger surged in Eldest Son He’s heart, a headache began, his first instinct was to seek assistance from Lord Chu, given the apparent complexity of the matter.

But listening to his wife’s and mother’s words.

It seemed they were abandoned by the Chu family.

As night fell, Eldest Son He came out of the room, and indeed saw the shadow of the tree in the courtyard.

He opened his mouth to ask: "How am I supposed to cooperate..."

"It’s good that you know your place."

The man in black snorted coldly, murmured a few words, gave him some things, and then disappeared.

Chu family.

Ye Muyu came out of the bathroom, finished washing, and dressed in comfortable sleepwear made of wool.

Just sat down when Su Mei knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Madam, Zhu San has sent a message." Su Mei swiftly walked to the side, leaned over, and whispered into her ear.

Ye Muyu listened and raised an eyebrow.

"You may leave, call me when I need you later."

Su Mei looked at her with some concern.

Ye Muyu noticed but did not explain.

Ye Muyu continued writing, organizing textbooks.

Until quite late.

Chu Heng finally returned.

She yawned, feeling sleepy.

"I’ll take a bath first, feeling a bit dirty."
