“Of course. I just thought it’s fine as long as you manage it. After all, he’s the head butler and has nothing to do with the inner residence.” Although Ye Muyu did not know much about the situation of the wives of the officials in Great Chu, she could roughly guess some information.
A butler like Luo Qisheng was usually under the direct control of the master.
“Ah Yu, we’re husband and wife. There’s no one I can trust except you. So, I naturally won’t hide this from you. You know it well enough.” Chu Heng’s matter-of-fact tone shocked Ye Muyu.
However, he looked very calm on the surface. “That’s not right. We’ll talk about it after we meet Big Brother today.”
“This is our family’s matter. There is no need for Big Brother…” Before he could say the word “intervene”, Chu Heng’s smiling expression froze. His eyes became vicious and a trace of uneasiness surged out. He raised his hand and grabbed Ye Muyu’s shoulder. He gritted his teeth and asked, “Ah Yu, what did you mean by that?”
“What? There’s no meaning to it. We have to wait until we get home to look at the account book.” Ye Muyu blinked innocently.
Chu Heng was rather suspicious. Could it be that he had guessed wrongly? Was Ah Yu hinting to him that she still wanted to divorce him?
“Really?” Chu Heng narrowed his eyes and asked threateningly. His big hand was already on Ye Muyu’s waist.
Ye Muyu resisted the urge to hit him and looked at him calmly.
Ye Muyu always had this expression when she was rational. Chu Heng was a little uncertain for a moment. In the end, it was because he was worried that he felt confused. He would have seen through it long ago if it was an outsider.
Chu Heng did not say anything else, but his hand was already on her waist.
Ye Muyu saw that he did not move, so she ignored him. Anyway, this person loved to touch her now. It was already very rare for him to lightly put his hand on her like this.
Ye Muyu did not know that in the eyes of the others, she was completely wrapped in Chu Heng’s arms.
Chu Jin was a little envious.
He envied his father for being able to get close to his mother!
“Ah Heng, how much do you know about how my Big Brother was in the army?” Ye Muyu asked.
When Chu Heng heard her and saw that she had finally changed the way she addressed him, he felt very comfortable in his heart. He told her about Ye Hao. “Your elder brother has indeed been missing for two years. That’s why he became a missing person when he should have returned to his hometown and was judged dead.”
“However, there was a deputy general who went missing with him. He had a high status in the army, so soldiers were searching for him. Your brother was also rescued.”
“Although your big brother has returned, he has lost his memory.”
“I was doing business with my subordinates and accidentally learned his name. I thought that I would rather mistake him than let him go, so I went to investigate. In the end, it turned out to be your brother.”
“So I asked a servant hired by the army to send him a letter, explaining his background.”
“Your big brother only came back after he investigated it himself.”
“I knew about this two months ago, but I wasn’t sure if he was coming back, so I thought I’d tell you when I was sure.”
Ye Muyu did not blame Chu Heng. After all, Ye Hao had been missing for so many years and no one knew if he was dead or alive. If he suddenly told the Ye family, Old Madam Ye would immediately search for him.
“Next time, tell me. If you need help, I can help you think of a way.” Ye Muyu grabbed his hand and said seriously.
Chu Heng was surprised by her initiative. The corners of his mouth curled up into a happy smile. “Okay, I’ll tell you everything next time..”
