Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2511: Chapter 2508: Learning to Be a Favorite of the Emperor

Since that’s the case, why should he retreat? In the field of interests, the more one retreats, the more others tend to think they are easy to bully.

“Lu Chuan, suppress this matter and find a good reason to explain to the people. Spread the facts and contact Elder Master Zhong of the Zhong family to explain the situation and see how he chooses.”

“Yes.” Lu Chuan stepped back and left.

Chu Heng squeezed Ye Muyu’s hand and said, “Now I need to go to the palace. Since someone dares to act knowing I’m favored, they must think it’s fake. In that case, let them see whether it’s true or false.”

Ye Muyu rolled her eyes helplessly, “You’re obviously deliberately bringing the matter to the Emperor. Are you unhappy that he hasn’t exerted any effort?”

“Where is that? This business is done together. If the Emperor doesn’t express his stance, wouldn’t it just increase the trouble? To solve these little tricks once and for all, it’s necessary to teach those who don’t take Yonghe seriously a lesson.”

“Do you know, during Qing Dynasty there was a corrupt official named He Shen, and you’re quite like him now.” Ye Muyu pointed at his cheek, her lips curled slightly, feeling quite pleased.

“Ah Yu, how can you say I’m a corrupt official?” Chu Heng glanced at her, feigning grievance.

Ultimately, it took a kiss from Ye Muyu to make things better.

“Ahem, I’m learning from him how to be a good favorite of the Emperor.”

Ye Muyu nodded in praise, “Very well, can avoid those who don’t know their place always trying to bully.”

“Then stay at home a little while longer. I’ll come back once I’ve resolved everything.”

“Go ahead.” Ye Muyu did not stop him.

Meanwhile.

Lu Chuan directly found Great Master Guo and handed him evidence of how Old Madam Guo was framed and killed.

Lu Chuan watched Great Master Guo’s expression change and reminded him, “I’m giving you these things, not to shirk responsibility. Considering such a fabricated blame, it’s still too naive to think of dealing with the Chu family.”

“No matter who you’re working for, whether it’s a success or not, it’s your people who suffer losses, and you, being at the forefront, must bear all consequences.”

“Even those backing you might not be able to protect themselves.”

“If you testify, you can still save yourself. If not, the Chu family won’t necessarily add insult to injury, but who knows what your end will be.” Lu Chuan’s words were full of irony.

Great Master Guo looked terrified and suddenly fell to his knees, “Master Lu, save me. I dare not go against the Chu family. Someone has taken my wife and children hostage, and I can’t refuse, so I had to do this reckless thing.”

Lu Chuan didn’t expect this pleasant surprise, as he had previously found no connection with the Guo family, and the family’s ladies and children hadn’t been involved.

“I don’t know who captured my wife and children, there was only a verbal message. And when my son noticed someone following him, he secretly transferred his wife and children away, yet they still found them and captured them, leading them to use my mother’s injury to create a disturbance, and I didn’t dare refuse.”

“Who knew it was premeditated, and led to my mother’s death.” Great Master Guo was deeply saddened.

“You know the people behind this, right? At least you can guess who captured your wife and children.” Lu Chuan’s voice was very confident.

Great Master Guo’s crying paused, ultimately forced to the extreme, he didn’t hide anymore.

Upon hearing that name, Lu Chuan wasn’t surprised at all.

No wonder he found it odd; the Qi family, who always regarded their master as a mortal enemy, hadn’t made a move. Turns out they were secretly hiding behind the scenes taking advantage of the chaos.
