“Many thanks for your concern, Madam. This servant understands.” Ye Muyu nodded and said nothing more.

She knew that Chu Heng would be back later, so she did not wait for him.

In the old residence

When Chu Heng arrived, Madam Zhang was cooking dinner. The dinner was simple and consisted of multi-grain noodles.

Chu Cai also came with Chu Heng.

Chu Heng first went to call his second brother Chu Cai over. Coincidentally, the other party had just eaten, so Chu Heng called him over.

“Chu Heng, Chu Cai? You guys are here?” Chu Zhiwen carried his head and came in from outside the house, followed by Chu Lin.

Chu Zhiwen had seen the two figures from afar and thought that he had seen them wrongly.

“Chu Cai, Chu Heng, have you guys had dinner yet?” Chu Lin noticed that their wives and their mother were not in the courtyard. Obviously, these two

younger brothers had just arrived.

“Yes. Big Brother, Father, go wash your hands and eat first. We’ll talk later.” Chu Heng obviously wanted to discuss things after dinner.

Chu Zhiwen understood his son. He nodded without thinking and put the hoe in the corner. He then got some water and washed his hands.

Chu Lin wanted to say something but hesitated. He did not know what his third brother was here for.

He still remembered that his third brother was going to participate in the provincial examination. It seemed that there was less than half a month before his third brother had to leave.

“Big Brother, if you have anything to say, wait until dinner. There’s no hurry.” Chu Heng always had the power to calm people down. Chu Lin was a little restless. After looking at him and hearing his words, his mood relaxed.

“Third Brother is right. I was too busy to think straight.” Chu Lin smiled in relief.

Chu Heng noticed that Chu Lin looked exhausted and his brows were furrowed from time to time. It was obvious that something was bothering him.

Although he had guessed that it was related to Chu Qingxiang, Life was filled with gains and losses. If he kept worrying about this, it was better to give up and take advantage of the fact that he was not married.

While Chu Heng was thinking about this, he was still expressionless and was about to walk into the main room.

Chu Heng had only taken two steps when Chu Cai pulled him back. “Third Brother, did something happen at Eldest Brother’s house? I don’t quite understand what you just said.”

Chu Heng looked at his second brother, who had always been honest and reliable. He was used to the fact that the other party was not that smart.

“Since it’s a vexing matter, it should be Eldest Brother who gets up and says it himself. Isn’t Second Brother most afraid of trouble?”

“The matter is not related to me, right?” Hearing Chu Heng’s words, Chu Cai felt relieved.

“Not really,” Chu Heng said.

After all, Chu Qingxiang was Chu Cai’s biological niece. They were related, but not that much.

“What’s going on?” Chu Cai asked again.

However, Chu Heng had no intention of answering his doubts. Since he wanted to develop his family, he had to understand his family members more in the future. Only then could he embark on a smooth road.

“Second Brother, watch more. You should also care more about other people’s family matters. After all, our surname is Chu. We’re a family, and we’re always connected at critical moments.”

“Only by seeing clearly can you live clearly.”

Chu Cai could tell that Chu Heng was reminding him. However, if he could understand it, he would have taken the imperial examination directly.

Nonetheless, for some reason, Chu Cai felt that what his third brother said was right. He pondered as he walked.

The main hall of the old residence was very large because this house had been built at a high price.

The central room could fit three tables.

Chu Heng brought Chu Cai along and sat at the table beside them to have tea, while Madam Liu and the others were having dinner.

Perhaps it was because Chu Lin’s family had something on their minds, they were very quiet during the meal..
