Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2545: Chapter 2542: Escorting Chu Ziluo Back to the Mansion

In the capital, news of the competition spread everywhere, sparking a heated discussion.

After three days of promotion, people flocked to the racetrack to register.

Not only people from the capital, but many outsiders also came along. Chu Jin spent a lot of money to buy an ad space directly at the Official Gazette Office, spreading the word in just one day.

After three days of fermentation, more and more people became aware of it.

At least, the places that can be reached within three days’ distance from Shengjing were all heated up by this news.

Just having the top hundred rankings with prize money, enough to cover travel expenses, attracted a lot of people over.

Over here, Chu Heng and Ye Muyu played at the racetrack for several days.

Seeing that Chu Jin had planned the competition, they did not intend to leave.

However, since Chu Heng had to handle government affairs, he could only return first and come back the next day.

Ye Muyu said, “Then you should go back with Chu Ziluo. She has been out for quite a while. Even if she’s pregnant, she needs to spend more time with the Prince, otherwise, how will there be any affection, don’t you think?”

“Yes, rest assured, I will safely send her back.” Chu Heng understood that she wanted him to go to the Prince’s Mansion to support Chu Ziluo and also to warn the restless people in the mansion’s rear courtyard.

Actually, he didn’t care whether or not Prince Rong had genuine affection for Chu Ziluo, he only needed the Prince to be responsible and treat her seriously, not harming her and the child, then he wouldn’t do anything.

Similarly, he didn’t show Prince Rong any bad attitude because of the women in the mansion’s rear courtyard.

He could understand Prince Rong and would not be foolish enough to threaten a Prince.

So the wisest thing was to warn the women in the mansion’s rear courtyard, letting them understand that competing for favor is allowed, but they absolutely cannot harm Chu Ziluo, or else, even if they gain favor, Chu Heng has the ability to make them lose everything.

This was the purpose of Chu Heng personally sending Chu Ziluo back to the Prince’s Mansion today.

Any smart person would know what to choose, of course, there are those who are sent in by others, who are not only unafraid of Chu Heng’s warning, but will also rack their brains to find ways to deal with Chu Ziluo, hoping to cause discord between Chu family and Prince Rong.

However, Chu Heng was already prepared for this.

After sending Chu Ziluo back to the mansion and meeting Prince Rong, he mentioned this matter to him.

What Chu Heng wanted was Chu Ziluo’s safety.

This was a request as a father.

He had watched Prince Rong grow up and trusted his character.

Prince Rong nodded, “Rest assured, father-in-law, I will also pay more attention. They will certainly not have the opportunity to harm Ziluo now, you can rest easy.”

“Yes, I feel quite reassured if you allow people from the Chu family to stay by Ziluo’s side to attend to her.”

It must be said that Chu Heng spoke very nicely, even Prince Rong did not feel he was being aggressive or threatening.

Although Chu Heng had a gentle attitude and appeared easy-going, it was clear because no one had tested his limits yet.

For this reason, even disregarding the matter of Ziluo, Li Chongjin would not offend Chu Heng, because he wasn’t sure if he could escape unharmed from Chu Heng’s retaliation.

In fact, he himself couldn’t bear for Ziluo to be hurt, so the two naturally had a pleasant conversation.

“Father-in-law, would you like to stay for lunch?” Li Chongjin invited.

Chu Heng did not refuse.

However, after having lunch, he left.

Even so, the news of the harmonious relationship between Prince Rong and Chu Heng, the two fathers-in-law, spread out.

Chu Heng paid no attention to these rumors and didn’t even go home, instead heading straight to the Department of Commerce and Construction.
