"Go and call Third Brother to investigate; surely we can catch some loose ends."
Ye Muyu thought, not only was the man in trouble, but even his family was fake, implicating other officials, making Minister Qiâs days rather difficult.
However, affairs at court are too complicated, it was not appropriate for Ye Muyu to speak about them.
"You all should be careful in everyday matters, if someone deliberately seeks trouble, itâs oneself who gets hurt." Ye Muyu somewhat had the mindset of crossing the street in the modern world.
Encountering those who have little regard for their own life, being hit by them, itâs oneself who suffers.
"Hmm, got it. You should focus on healing first." Madam Wang said with a smile.
"Iâll personally cook for you this noon, what would you like to eat?"
Ye Muyu helplessly smiled: "Second sister-in-law, youâre visiting my home, how can I let you do the work, and thereâs a kitchen maid in the large kitchen, whatever you want to eat, just instruct."
"After some time when we recover, weâll go to your place, then Iâll make sure to not hold back when you cook personally."
Madam Wang licked her lips, finding reason with it, "Alright, then I wonât hold back."
"By the way, these are safety talismans I requested from several other temples, theyâve been blessed, if you donât mind, keep them."
Madam Wang said, taking out the safety talismans and handed them to Ye Muyu.
There were a solid seven or eight of them.
"Why so many?" Ye Muyu was somewhat amused, smelling a strong sandalwood scent. As she knew, outside the capital besides the Buddhist Light Temple, there are only three or four other temples, even counting those small and unremarkable ones.
"I requested two from each, Nuanbao, Third Brother, and Chu Ziluo all have theirs." Madam Wang smiled a bit, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Ye Muyu looked at the safety talisman in her hand and did not refuse her kind gesture.
The noon meals prepared had two flavors, heavier taste for those like Madam Wang who werenât sick, suited to their palate.
Like Ye Muyu and Chu Bo who were recovering, they had milder and nourishing dishes.
After lunch, Madam Wang took the two children and left.
Ye Muyu was about to take a nap, glimpsed the safety talisman on the table by the couch, and said, "Su Mei, send this safety talisman to Lu Sangqi and have him check it."
"I understand." Su Mei understood Ye Muyuâs intention as soon as she heard.
Ever since Ye Muyu was unknowingly poisoned last time, she habitually made preparations, deeming everything delivered to the estate worthy of thorough examination before use.
Su Mei was already quite adept at doing these tasks.
Outside the capital, on the hillside within an inconspicuous temple.
The temple was small, occupying barely a hundred square feet, lacking any air of incense, as if abandoned, even the stone steps in front of the temple covered with fallen leaves, seeming like they hadnât been swept for a long time.
At this moment, inside the temple, in a room.
Unexpectedly, there was life inside.
A man dressed in a Kasaya sat on the ground, behind him was a middle-aged man, "Arenât you anxious? Weâve lost too many hands in the capital, soon it wonât be possible to hide it."
"Anxious, what use is haste?" The man laughed coldly.
If Ye Muyu were here this moment, she could recognize the monk in Kasaya as the disciple assigned by the abbot from the Buddhist Light Temple, originally arranged to escort them back to the capital.
"You canât just sit and wait for things to go wrong." The middle-aged man paced around, suddenly thought of something, and said, "You canât just watch us encounter trouble, otherwise youâll be entangled as well."
