Chu Heng was in a better mood. He hugged her and spun around.

“Be careful, your hand is still injured…” Ye Muyu was so nervous that she wanted to come down and stop him from moving.

Chu Heng obediently stood still and did not move. He reached out and gently touched her face, his gaze fixed on her.

Ye Muyu’s lips were swollen and her face was red. She felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. “Why don’t you rest for a while? I’ll go send Eldest Aunt and the others off.”

“I’ll go with you. My hand is fine. Take a look.” Chu Heng raised his hand to show her.

Ye Muyu knew that he would find other reasons to go even if she disallowed him, so she nodded and agreed.

The two of them walked out of the study. Chu Heng’s hand had already been bandaged. It was just a scratch on his hand, so it didn’t look serious.

In order to prevent others from letting their imagination run wild, he hid his hands in his sleeves and did not show them at all.

The banquet was still going on outside. When the two of them walked out, many guests wanted to talk to Chu Heng.

Han Zhuang was called over by Ye Muyu and helped to block him. He explained that Chu Heng had caught a cold and could not drink.

There were many people at the banquet, and the atmosphere was livelier. In addition, the Chu family had an ample supply of alcohol, so most of the guests drank as much as they wanted. As a result, most of them were slightly drunk. Han Zhuang found a reason to drink with them, and the situation was resolved.

Ye Muyu and Chu Heng walked out of the courtyard together. In front of Chu Xing’s courtyard, they saw Chu Xingjun’s family already carrying their bags and bidding farewell to Madam Liu.

Xiang Ling’er saw Ye Muyu immediately and ran over happily. She saw that Ye Muyu had changed back into her original brown coarse clothes and a bright smile on her round face.

“Ling’er, you’re taking the ox cart back?” Black Water Village was not close to Xingshui Village. It would take an hour by ox cart.

The Chu family also had to inform them earlier to come over.

“Yes, Cousin-in-law, it will bring us to Yuanshui Village. When that time comes, there will be even more ox carts from Yuanshui Village to our village.”

“Take this food back to eat.” As Ye Muyu spoke, she took a lunch box from Madam Hu and handed it to them.

When Chu Xingjun saw this, she quickly refused. “No, no, there’s so much food. I can’t accept it.”

She had just taken a look. There were either pork hock, chicken, or pork inside. None of them had been touched. How could they be leftovers from the banquet?

“Eldest Aunt, the other cousins, and children at home aren’t here, so take these dishes back and let them taste them.” Chu Heng knew that Ye Muyu had a good impression of his aunt’s family, and he was willing to support those who knew their limits.

With Chu Heng’s words, Chu Xingjun did not refuse anymore.

“Thank you, Ah Yu. Ah Heng, just come to Black Water Village. If you like the wood ear, feel free to eat it.” Chu Xingjun is really enlightened.

“I won’t stand on ceremony then.” Ye Muyu smiled.

“Then Ah Heng, Brother-in-law, we’ll be leaving first.” Xiang Zhifu looked at the sky and did not delay any longer. After speaking to Chu Zhiwen, Chu Heng, and the others, he left the Chu family with his wife and daughter. He walked toward the village entrance and boarded the ox cart at the village entrance. They walked further and further away.

After sending off Chu Xingjun and her family, Ye Muyu recalled the incident where she was drugged and lost her good impression of the Chu family’s second aunt, Chu Hongmei, and her family.

She subconsciously looked at Chu Heng.

Chu Heng’s deep eyes met hers. He understood her thoughts. Without hesitation, he looked at Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen.” Father, Mother, I have something to tell you.”

“Let’s go to the old residence.” There were many people at Chu Heng’s place, and there might be spies from the Hu family.
