Just as the group of women was in silence, a few footsteps sounded in the courtyard.
Soon after, County Magistrate Sun and Eunuch Ren came over, followed by a group of squires who were watching the show.
“Mrs. Chu, what happened?” Eunuch Ren had been smiling the whole time and was even more amiable to Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu then stood up and walked into the courtyard. She bowed to him first and then calmly said, “Eunuch, County Magistrate Sun is really looking down on me by sending a concubine to entertain the guests. If I agree to it, I’m afraid my master will be angry with me.”
County Magistrate Sun had already heard the maidservant coming over to pass the message. He secretly cursed Ye Muyu for causing trouble.
He was even more unwilling to see his beloved concubine being bullied. “Mrs. Chu, you might not know this, but my wife is unable to get up due to health reasons, so I can only let Ruyi come over to entertain you. Sigh, it’s all my fault for not explaining things clearly to Madam, which resulted in this conflict. It’s better for Madam to ask clearly next time. Otherwise, if this misunderstanding happens too many times, it will affect your reputation.”
Ye Muyu was not angry. She knew that County Magistrate Sun was bold enough to mock her.
Eunuch Ren’s face had already sunk. He could not imagine how these officials would react if Chu Heng came alone to deal with the flood. Most of them would definitely not cooperate.
“Oh, really?”
“I have a kind heart, then let’s go see Mrs. Sun. Is Eunuch Ren willing to watch this shiw with me?” Ye Muyu had always been a fair person. Whatever County Magistrate Sun did to her, she would naturally retaliate.
As expected, County Magistrate Sun’s expression darkened.
Eunuch Ren smiled. “I was thinking that the wine in the county government office is bad. I might as well not drink it. It’s better to watch the show.”
“Eunuch, please.” Ye Muyu smiled.
Eunuch Ren walked in front, and Ye Muyu was half a step behind. County Magistrate Sun could not stop him in time, so he could only call out to Eunuch Ren from behind.
Eunuch Ren raised his voice and said with a faint smile, “County Magistrate Sun, I and Mrs. Chu are both concerned about Mrs. Sun. You should be happy.”
“I-I’m happy, no, no…” County Magistrate Sun was so angry that he could not speak clearly. If his eyes were a knife, he would have killed Ye Muyu long ago.
Unfortunately, Ye Muyu did not care about him at all.
Concubine Gao looked at the group of people leaving and almost fainted. The maidservant beside her immediately went up to support her. “Madam, are you alright?”
“Quick, get that woman to pretend to be sick!” Concubine Gao snapped back to her senses and hurriedly said.
A maidservant hurriedly left.
Ye Muyu was already prepared for this. She ignored the maidservant who was leading the way and went straight ahead. The maidservant saw that she could not delay Ye Muyu at all, and her face turned pale. However, she did not dare to stop Ye Muyu. She could only go back and inform Concubine Gao nervously.
Therefore, by the time the maidservant sent by Concubine Gao arrived at a dilapidated courtyard, Ye Muyu had already arrived with a group of people. The maidservant had no way to go in and talk.
Ye Muyu saw a woman embroidering in the yard.
She called for a few of the ladies and went in together.
Eunuch Ren also entered. The other squires naturally could not enter the backyard and could only watch helplessly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Madam, are you Madam Hu of the Sun family?” Ye Muyu did not wait for the woman to speak and asked directly.
Madam Hu looked at Ye Muyu, who was dressed in luxurious clothes and looked young. She was confused. She subconsciously looked at County Magistrate Sun, who walked in with a dark face. “Master?”
