Chapter 772: An Explanation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“So when the Wang family was in trouble, he was out of town. Although he escaped, the government had already issued an arrest warrant and drawn a portrait. Logically speaking, as long as he took out the household registration card, he would be arrested at the city gate. However, so far, the Eldest Young Master of the Wang family has not been arrested. Could the other party be here?” Ye Muyu was shocked after she finished speaking. She looked at the house again and felt a deep fear.

If that was the case, the Wang family’s Eldest Young Master would hate his own family to death.

If Ling’er really entered the Wang family, her life would probably be ruined.

“I’m not sure yet, but it’s very likely, so I came to take a look.” Chu Heng pointed at the Wang family’s residence. “The Old Master in this residence is called Wang Shichu. He’s just an unremarkable branch of the Wang family.”

“Han Zhuang has already asked around. Wang Shichu only has a few fields in Black Water County, which add up to only about 9,000 sq feet. He can only be considered a small landlord.”

“In the past, Wang Youcai would never have taken a fancy to a branch family like this. But now, the Wang family has been raided. I’ve seen all the fields and estates of the Wang family, but none of them are near Black Water Village. It can be seen that they don’t have much contact with Wang Shichu.”

“But Wang Shichu used Ling’er to threaten me. There must be a reason.”

When Ye Muyu heard this, she understood. Logically speaking, since Wang Youcai’s side had been developing so well in the past, and Wang Shichu had never interacted with them, why would he help Wang Youcai’s side take revenge after something happened to them?

No matter what, this did not make sense.

“Let’s go.” Chu Heng held her hand and walked towards the door.

Just as the two of them walked over, the main door of the Wang family happened to open. A middle-aged man in a reddish-brown brocade robe came to welcome them.

Ye Muyu guessed that this person might be Wang Shichu.

As expected, the middle-aged man smiled and said, “Is it Chu Xiaolian?” I’ve long heard of you. I was just about to pay you a visit, but I did not expect you to already be here.”

“Landlord Wang, you’re welcome. After all, I’m only here to take a look and congratulate Landlord Wang on his beautiful wife.” Chu Heng’s voice was emotionless, but his words were extremely piercing.

Wang Shichu’s expression changed slightly. He was actually a little nervous. His mouth was full of words. “High Scholar Chu has misunderstood. This matter is really my fault. Please, I will explain it properly.”

“Yes.” After Chu Heng introduced Ye Muyu, he brought her into the Wang family’s residence.

The Wang family’s residence was not small, and it had three courtyards.

However, because of Wang Shichu’s frank admission of what he had done before, the few of them did not delay and went straight into the guest room in the outer courtyard.

“High Scholar Chu, Mrs. Chu, please sit.” Wang Shichu ordered the servants to serve tea.

Ye Muyu sat silently beside Chu Heng.

After drinking two cups of tea…

Just as Wang Shichu was about to give in and tried to find a topic to talk about, Chu Heng finally opened his mouth.

“Didn’t you say that you wanted to explain the matter with the Xiang family to me?” Chu Heng looked up at him indifferently.

Wang Shichu only felt that this was an ordinary high scholar. It could even be said that a month ago, he was just a little elementary scholar. However, he had such an imposing manner. He felt uneasy and did not dare to underestimate him.

“High Scholar Chu, I want to marry Miss Ling’er. I also want to give her a good life…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Chu Heng’s cold gaze made him break out in cold sweat.
