PEASANT WOMAN'S DECREED LIFE AS A WIFE

Chapter 1141: Chapter 1138: Meeting

Ye Muyu took a deep breath to avoid embarrassment and blinked at him playfully, “I think they’re here to see you, Ah Heng. How about we make a bet?”

Her voice was coquettish, and her entire demeanor was like that of a lively swallow, her steps light and her mood cheerful.

Although Chu Heng had anticipated what was going on, besides a slight headache, seeing her happy made him feel that coming out was worth it.

“No bet,” Chu Heng said as his large hand hooked around her fingers. “Later, I will meet with guests in the temple, and you and Zhao Qingqing can go see the plum blossoms on the back mountain.”

“How do you know Qingqing is here?” Ye Muyu was somewhat surprised, and she looked instinctively ahead, indeed she saw a Buddhist temple with many people, but there was no sign of Zhao Qingqing.

“That girl just now is a young miss from the Marquis’s Mansion, and she has had a good relationship with Zhao Qingqing in the past. If she is here, Zhao Qingqing is likely here as well.”

“And if she isn’t?” Ye Muyu always had less information than him and deliberately said this to justify behaving petulantly.

Chu Heng’s lips curled into a smile, and his gaze fell on a pavilion in the distance as he pointed, “Ah Yu, look.”

Ye Muyu didn’t have as good eyesight as he did, but she could barely make out that there was someone in the pavilion looking their way.

“Zhao Qingqing is over there,” said Chu Heng.

Ye Muyu looked at her in shock, “You’re joking, right? You can see that clearly?”

“I’ll take you there,” Chu Heng said, taking the lead and walking ahead, his clothes rustling in the wind.

Upon entering the temple, two guards indeed awaited at the entrance, coming to Chu Heng’s side to salute, “Lord Chu, my master invites you.”

“I will meet with your master after I have arranged things for my lady,” Chu Heng negotiated.

The guard hesitated for a moment but did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

“Let’s go,” Chu Heng led Ye Muyu towards the back of the temple mountain. Along the way, they encountered some maidservants she had not seen before. Leaving the temple, they entered the back mountain, greeted by swathes of plum blossoms, with the red plums vying for beauty, appearing even more proudly in the contrast of the snow.

“Lord Chu, Lady Chu,” Tangyuan appeared before them and saluted directly, “My lady awaits the Lady in the Plum Blossom Pavilion.”

“Thank you for leading the way,” Ye Muyu said goodbye to Chu Heng and followed Tangyuan.

Su Mei and Chun Xing, who had always been a bit distant from her, hurriedly followed.

Chu Heng watched her leave, only turning back to return once they reached the pavilion.

He was well aware of who had come this time; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to meet them directly.

Chu Heng returned to the temple and entered a room prepared for incense guests. Inside stood a middle-aged man who turned around, revealing himself to be Teacher Lin.

“Teacher Lin,” Chu Heng entered the room and was directed to sit on a couch by the window.

Seeing him, Lin Zhongjin smiled and said, “Congratulations, Lord Chu.”

“I have called you here reluctantly,” Lin Zhongjin said as he personally poured him a cup of tea, “If it’s not too much, you may call me Uncle Lin.”

Chu Heng hummed in response, not objecting. The Lin family, both in his past and present life, were not enemies, and he was certainly willing to give them a warning.

He knew all too well that standing in his current position was a dead end. Fortunately, the Lin family had long been aware of their situation.

“Ah Heng, the Fourth Prince has implicated you this time,” Lin Zhongjin sighed lightly. “I didn’t expect Duke Zheng to suddenly make a move on Zhongjin.”
