Since thatâs the case, why should he retreat? In the field of interests, the more one retreats, the more others tend to think they are easy to bully.
"Lu Chuan, suppress this matter and find a good reason to explain to the people. Spread the facts and contact Elder Master Zhong of the Zhong family to explain the situation and see how he chooses."
"Yes." Lu Chuan stepped back and left.
Chu Heng squeezed Ye Muyuâs hand and said, "Now I need to go to the palace. Since someone dares to act knowing Iâm favored, they must think itâs fake. In that case, let them see whether itâs true or false."
Ye Muyu rolled her eyes helplessly, "Youâre obviously deliberately bringing the matter to the Emperor. Are you unhappy that he hasnât exerted any effort?"
"Where is that? This business is done together. If the Emperor doesnât express his stance, wouldnât it just increase the trouble? To solve these little tricks once and for all, itâs necessary to teach those who donât take Yonghe seriously a lesson."
"Do you know, during Qing Dynasty there was a corrupt official named He Shen, and youâre quite like him now." Ye Muyu pointed at his cheek, her lips curled slightly, feeling quite pleased.
"Ah Yu, how can you say Iâm a corrupt official?" Chu Heng glanced at her, feigning grievance.
Ultimately, it took a kiss from Ye Muyu to make things better.
"Ahem, Iâm learning from him how to be a good favorite of the Emperor."
Ye Muyu nodded in praise, "Very well, can avoid those who donât know their place always trying to bully."
"Then stay at home a little while longer. Iâll come back once Iâve resolved everything."
"Go ahead." Ye Muyu did not stop him.
Meanwhile.
Lu Chuan directly found Great Master Guo and handed him evidence of how Old Madam Guo was framed and killed.
Lu Chuan watched Great Master Guoâs expression change and reminded him, "Iâm giving you these things, not to shirk responsibility. Considering such a fabricated blame, itâs still too naive to think of dealing with the Chu family."
"No matter who youâre working for, whether itâs a success or not, itâs your people who suffer losses, and you, being at the forefront, must bear all consequences."
"Even those backing you might not be able to protect themselves."
"If you testify, you can still save yourself. If not, the Chu family wonât necessarily add insult to injury, but who knows what your end will be." Lu Chuanâs words were full of irony.
Great Master Guo looked terrified and suddenly fell to his knees, "Master Lu, save me. I dare not go against the Chu family. Someone has taken my wife and children hostage, and I canât refuse, so I had to do this reckless thing."
Lu Chuan didnât expect this pleasant surprise, as he had previously found no connection with the Guo family, and the familyâs ladies and children hadnât been involved.
"I donât know who captured my wife and children, there was only a verbal message. And when my son noticed someone following him, he secretly transferred his wife and children away, yet they still found them and captured them, leading them to use my motherâs injury to create a disturbance, and I didnât dare refuse."
"Who knew it was premeditated, and led to my motherâs death." Great Master Guo was deeply saddened.
"You know the people behind this, right? At least you can guess who captured your wife and children." Lu Chuanâs voice was very confident.
Great Master Guoâs crying paused, ultimately forced to the extreme, he didnât hide anymore.
Upon hearing that name, Lu Chuan wasnât surprised at all.
No wonder he found it odd; the Qi family, who always regarded their master as a mortal enemy, hadnât made a move. Turns out they were secretly hiding behind the scenes taking advantage of the chaos.
