Chapter 1065 - 1062: Can’t Protect

Chu Ziluo had not expected there to be a chance for her parents to be alone together, hastily smiling and waving her hand.

Chu Jin didn’t know what Chu Ziluo had said, and although it was somewhat awkward, he did not speak.

Only after Ye Muyu left, did they hear Chu Jin ask with some urgency in his voice, “Sister, Father won’t bully Mother, will he?”

“What are you talking about? How could Father possibly bully Mother? He only bullies you.”

Chu Jin: “…” That stung a little.

Ye Muyu hadn’t walked far and heard everything clearly, a smile involuntarily spreading across her lips.

Once she climbed into the carriage behind.

Seeing the man sitting inside, her smile faltered upon smelling a scent of blood.

She quickly climbed into the carriage, let the carriage curtain fall, and asked somewhat nervously, “What happened, are you hurt?”

“Let’s set off first.” As Chu Heng’s voice fell, the carriage outside immediately started moving.

Ye Muyu sat down next to him and watched as he leaned against the carriage, wanting to get closer yet hesitating, “Hold on, do we have a medical kit in the carriage? How is your wound, does it need treatment?”

Chu Heng looked at her with a face full of concern, his dark eyes slightly moved, and said softly, “It’s nothing, just an old wound.”

“May I take a look?” Ye Muyu bit her lip and asked.

Chu Heng leaned back, and though he neither agreed nor declined.

Seeing his expression unopposed, Ye Muyu walked over, placed her hand on his waist, and slowly started to undo his clothes.@@novelbin@@

“Hold on, where is your wound?” Ye Muyu asked curiously, “How did you get it?”

Chu Heng’s voice was as calm as usual, as if he was not the one injured, “On the chest, while saving Eunuch Ren, I plotted against County Magistrate Sun.”

His words were brief but held much news.

Ye Muyu slowly opened his clothes and indeed saw a streak of blood on the white undergarment: “You got up this morning to practice swordplay even though your wound hadn’t healed?”

“Did the swordplay reopen the wound?”

Chu Heng looked at her as she spoke, with a hint of warmth in his eyes he hadn’t noticed himself, and slowly replied, “It had already scabbed over; it’s not a new injury. Besides, you were injured because of me; County Magistrate Sun couldn’t be left alive.”

His words were straightforward, but he said them with a calm tone, just as if he was discussing ‘what to eat this morning’. It was unclear whether he was aware that speaking this way could lead to misunderstandings, or if he was simply accustomed to being direct.

During the time Chu Heng had lost his memory, Ye Muyu hadn’t spent much time with him, and at that moment, she couldn’t fully understand his intentions.

Her gaze occasionally fell on his face as she continued to ask, “Has County Magistrate Sun already been dismissed? Could this affect your management of the flood?”

“Yes, his whole family was imprisoned, and the execution took place ten days ago.”

Which meant that the family of County Magistrate Sun had already perished under the sword.

The grievances between the two families had thus dissolved.

“Wasn’t County Magistrate Sun Prefect Lin’s man? Would he really let you act against him?” Ye Muyu always felt there was more to Chu Heng’s injury.

“The evidence was irrefutable, even Prefect Lin couldn’t protect him.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu was not surprised. County Magistrate Sun was too ruthless and greedy; if not for Prefect Lin’s protection, the common people would have probably reported him to the Prefectural City long ago.

“Be careful next time and try not to get hurt again. Don’t think that just because you are young, your body can handle being injured multiple times—it will only get worse.” Ye Muyu didn’t ask further, knowing enough about the matters of the official circle.

Fetching the ointment from the carriage’s secret compartment, Ye Muyu began applying it to his wound.

The hemostatic medicine was made by Lu Sangqi, and it was very effective.
