Chapter 1775: Chapter 1772: Lord Zhao

Madam Xie instructed the maidservants to place the pastries far away, ensuring they would not be touched by anyone, and then told two young monks to rest and call them if needed.

The two young monks were indeed quite young and obediently retreated.

Madam Wang couldn’t quite grasp what was happening and only after the door closed did she sigh softly, “The monks at this Buddhist Light Temple are quite nice and attentive. I’ll go offer some incense later and donate more incense money.”

Madam Xie listened but did not remind her of what Ye Muyu previously worried about. After all, both she and the other party understood that Madam Wang’s intentions were superficial. If she knew about it, it would likely be immediately discovered. So from the beginning, Ye Muyu and she planned not to let Madam Wang know.

“Let’s talk after lunch. There’s no rush right now,” Madam Xie used the simplest excuse to keep Madam Wang from leaving.

Madam Wang didn’t doubt it and thought it was quite normal. She first went to stay by Chu Bo’s side for a while before coming to speak with Madam Xie again.

Ye Muyu returned two quarters of an hour later, bringing back not only simple vegetarian food but also the prepared medicine.

Chu Bo had not yet awakened. The medicine was left to cool beside him. As they ate lunch, everyone remained quiet to avoid disturbing Chu Bo’s rest.

Just after finishing lunch, there was a knock on the door.

Su Mei went over to open it and saw the guard from beside King Qi at the door, explaining the purpose of the visit.

Su Mei turned around and walked over, “Madam, people from the yamen have arrived. This time it’s Lord Zhao from the Court of Judicial Review. Lord Zhao and Prince Qi are in the front hall, and the yamen people have already dispatched bailiffs and the coroner for the autopsy.”

“Miss Guo has also been brought to the front hall. Prince Qi sent someone to inform the lady and ask the lady to bring Young Master Bo to the front hall. A stretcher is ready outside.”

Ye Muyu nodded.

Madam Wang asked her worriedly, “Third Brother’s Wife, can Abo be moved now?”

“From here to the front hall is not a problem. Let him take the medicine before going over,” Ye Muyu replied.

Madam Wang nodded lightly, hurried over to awaken Chu Bo. Chu Fu sat by the bed to help him up.

Chu Bo pulled at his wound, took a sharp breath, but upon seeing the room full of concerned family elders, he quickly smiled, “I fell asleep.”

“Drink your medicine first, you child… sigh…” Madam Wang frowned and fed him the medicine.

Chu Bo was very obedient at this moment, afraid of making his mother angry, and drank it sip by sip. The medicine was bitter, and as he drank more, his chubby face scrunched up.

“Ugh, it’s so bitter.”

“Brother Bo, candied fruit.” Chu Ziluo took out a pouch of candied fruit from her waist and fed him one.

Chu Bo happily ate it, and the sweetness immediately chased away the bitterness. He gratefully smiled, “Thank you, Sister Ziluo.”

“No need to thank me.” Chu Ziluo reached out and patted his head, “Your priority is to take care of your injuries.”

After Chu Bo finished the medicine, he was placed onto the stretcher. Ye Muyu walked in front, making sure that Chu Fu and Ziluo walked alongside to care for Chu Bo.

They arrived in front of the main hall.

Ye Muyu immediately saw Lord Zhao and King Qi standing before the Buddha statue, along with the abbot.

On both sides stood other ladies and young misses from the residence. Upon seeing Ye Muyu enter, they automatically stepped aside, creating a path wide enough for four people to walk side by side.

Ye Muyu stepped forward and greeted Lord Zhao and King Qi.

“Madam Chu, the yamen here needs to ask for the statement from your household’s son later.”
