Chapter 1777: Chapter 1774: Confession

He made it clear, resolving his concerns about the future.

Ye Muyu listened and sincerely expressed her gratitude, “Thank you, Prince.”

“Madam, no need to be polite,” King Qi gently shook his head.

The Abbot finally did not refuse, after all, with King Qi making the request, he had no reason to decline.

Soon, the sound of chanting filled the Buddha Hall. Everyone else followed suit, sitting cross-legged on the floor in the main hall. With King Qi and Ye Muyu setting the example, the other frightened ladies also followed. Those who felt it unnecessary couldn’t leave, so they too sat cross-legged and joined the chanting.

Time slowly passed.

People came and went from time to time.

Eventually, even Ye Muyu and King Qi went to record their statements, followed by the Abbot and others.

After the Abbot left, Ye Muyu walked over to Chu Bo and asked, “Does the wound still hurt?”

The wound was surely painful. Chu Bo had never been so seriously injured before. He had just woken up after sleeping for a while. Seeing Ye Muyu, he quickly shook his head obediently, “It doesn’t hurt, Third Aunt, don’t worry.”

“Such a good child.” Ye Muyu patted his head. In a place where no one could see, she gently moved her lips.

Initially, Chu Bo was surprised, his eyes wide open, but he quickly regained his composure, occasionally responding with a soft ‘hmm,’ not hiding his voice at all, “Third Aunt, don’t worry, I’ll be fine after resting at home for a month.”

“I’ll eat more pig liver to replenish my blood!”

“Maybe I’ll even lose some weight this time.” Saying this, he gave a silly smile, scratching his head shyly.

Ye Muyu finally patted his shoulder helplessly, “Losing weight from illness is not a good thing, you should focus on your martial arts training.”

“Got it… ”

Some of the nearby ladies watched and whispered, inquiring about Chu Bo’s identity. Upon hearing that he was Ye Muyu’s nephew, they marveled at Ye Muyu’s kindness towards him, thinking this young man must be favored.

Several female family members of fourth and fifth-grade officials couldn’t resist taking more glances at Chu Bo, and some, bold enough, asked Madam Wang about Chu Bo’s age, considering him for a potential marriage alliance.

Madam Wang didn’t react immediately, but upon hearing other female family members praise her child, she couldn’t help but smile with pride, though she said it was nothing. In her heart, she was extremely pleased.

After all, what mother doesn’t hope to hear her child praised?

Ye Muyu observed all of this with some helplessness, but she didn’t intervene.

Although most of the officials in the capital had complicated relationships, there were quite a few lower-ranking officials who went unnoticed. However, even the smallest official in the capital was still significant outside it.

If Chu Bo could marry into a good family, it would be a good thing, and it might also motivate him to study hard.

Very soon.

It was Chu Bo’s turn to be taken to the side room for questioning.

Chu Bo was carried in.

Outside, the guard arranged by Ye Muyu waited.

Inside the room.

Chu Bo lay on the ground, unable to see the people sitting high above, only hearing Lord Zhao’s voice.

“First, state your name,” said Lord Zhao.

Chu Bo replied honestly, “Chu Bo, ancestral home in Nanchang County, South Origin Prefecture…”

Beside him, a scribe was writing diligently, quickly recording the information.

“Describe what you saw and heard today.”

Chu Bo said, “Today, I went out to help look for Miss Guo. After leaving with my elder brother, Chu Fu, at the slope in front of the Peach Blossom Forest, I followed the small path by the slope towards the viewing platform.”
