He protected Ye Muyu and her daughter and went to meet up with Madam Zhang, Madam Wang, Chu Qingxiang, and Chu Qingyu.

Madam Zhang saw that Chu Heng did not come over. She stood on her tiptoes and looked over. She asked curiously, “Where is Old Third going? Is he not coming back with us?”

“The Third Young Master of the Xie family is looking for him. But sister-in-law, there’s good news about the Wang family.” Ye Muyu did not say much.

As for why Xie Yu was looking for Chu Heng, she did not know, so she did not mention it.

When Madam Zhang heard Xie Yu’s name, her eyes lit up, but she also knew that she could not climb up to the Xie family. Moreover, even if she wanted to have a relationship with the Xie family, it would be to build a good relationship with the Xie family’s ladies, not Xie Yu.

Madam Zhang thought through the details and did not force it.

However, the matter of the Wang family made her especially curious,

“Let’s go back quickly. Father and Mother must be waiting anxiously.”

The few of them returned to the courtyard together. They saw that there was already an ox cart in the backyard. Madam Zhang recognized it at a glance.

“Isn’t this uncle’s ox cart?”

As they spoke, they had already walked out of the central room.

Liu Hanlai’s loving voice came from the room.

“Uncle. ”

“Grandpa.”

Madam Zhang went in first. Chu Qingxiang took the lead, and the other children followed behind her.

Today, other than the three girls, the boys were all studying at home and did not come.

Ye Muyu followed him into the house and saw the old man sitting at the head of the table. His hair was white, and he looked kind and kind. He was thin and held a tobacco pipe in his hand. Beside him was a basket with a lot of wild mushroom grains in it. There was dew on it, which showed that it was very fresh. He could not see what was below, but it was definitely a mountain product that could not be found in Xingshui Village.

Beside the old man sat Liu Cheng and his wife. Liu Jiao had also come. Compared to yesterday, she looked even more haggard, and her eyes were a little dark.

Seeing Ye Muyu come in, she immediately stood up excitedly.

Even the old man, Liu Hanlai, looked at her.

Ye Muyu knew that Liu Jiao was excited to see Lu Chuan standing behind her.

Her expression remained calm. She nodded at the old man and said, “Mother, my husband said that Lu Chuan knows about the situation of the Wang family. Why don’t we let him talk about it? We can solve this matter as soon as possible. We don’t have to worry about it.”

“Really?” Madam Liu was also very surprised. How could she not see the worry in her father’s eyes? He just did not want her to be implicated in this matter, so he deliberately held back and did not say anything. If he really did not care, he wouldn’t have come today.

“Lu Chuan, what’s going on? Tell me quickly.”

Lu Chuan said in a clear voice, “Old Madam, this servant first went to Young Master Wang Chuan to ask about the situation. After learning about it, I went to my Master’s connections and asked the Wang family’s butler what exactly happened. ”

“Who knew that Butler Wang told this servant that the Third Young Master of

Landlord Wang’s family had never asked anyone to ask for silver. He also did not know that there would be leftover deerskin, and he would also not know that Young Master Wang Chuan had used the leftovers to make a pair of boots.”

“Hearing this news, this servant knows that things might be different from what we thought.”

“Then I went back to find Young Master Wang Chuan and confirmed that the person in charge of this matter was Young Master Wang’s follower, Lu Hu.” “This servant then inquired about this Lu Hu.”

“After spending a few hours, we found out that Lu Hu was only running errands for the Third Young Master of Landlord Wang’s family and was not a servant of the family.”

“After that, I went to look for Lu Hu. After interrogating Lu Hu, I found out that he owed the casino thirty taels of silver because of gambling. Coincidentally, he noticed Wang Chuan and his father talking about the shoes, which was why he thought of the plan..”
