Chapter 2026: Chapter 2023: The Situation

Recently, the Deng Family has become excessively arrogant, with the Eldest Young Master of the Deng Family frequently beating and scolding others. Although he has offended many, nothing has happened to him.

Most officials choose to safeguard themselves and avoid confronting them, avoiding them everywhere.

However, quite a few officials have sided with the Deng Family due to a recent rescue event. Those officials are inherently bold, not good officials, and do not possess gentle temperaments.

As a result, this group has joined forces to commit numerous actions that anger the people.

At this particular time, Emperor Xuanming is ill, ignoring the actions of the Deng Family and further favoring Consort Jie.

The court officials cannot deal with Grand Tutor Deng, and the common people below dare not provoke the Deng Family even more.

"It needs to be resolved once and for all." Ye Muyu nodded.

However, she also noticed that the people sent by the Deng Family are somewhat shameless. If they continue to find faults and create trouble, if they cannot be countered each time, eventually it will annoy the visiting guests and affect the business.

Ye Muyu instructed a few stewards to go back first, and she would handle the matter.

When Chu Heng returned in the evening, he noticed Ye Muyu was in a somewhat bad mood.

"What’s wrong? Who’s made you angry?" Chu Heng approached, sat on the bench beside her, and asked with concern.

Ye Muyu pursed her lips: "You’re back? Are you tired? Do you want to wash up first?"

The weather is still quite hot. Although Chu Heng doesn’t sweat much, wearing the same clothes all day isn’t very comfortable.

He paused for a moment, didn’t immediately go to wash up this time, but instead pinched her fingers and continued to ask, "Don’t change the subject. Just tell me, who bullied you? I’ll avenge you."

"It’s the Deng Family..." Ye Muyu exhaled a breath, seeing him ask like that, she naturally didn’t hide it anymore.

After all, she originally intended to discuss with Chu Heng the best way to resolve it.

Initially, she didn’t want to disturb Chu Heng, as he’s been busy with official affairs, and the progress hasn’t been very smooth.

Ye Muyu just hoped he could rest well after returning and not worry about these trivial matters.

Of course, she also had a solution in mind, but she hadn’t decided whether to proceed with it.

"The Deng Family..." Chu Heng lightly tapped his finger on the table and reached out to smooth her brows, "Don’t worry, it’s easy to solve. I thought the Deng Family would stop after one time, but they haven’t learned their lesson and even want to continue causing trouble."

"Ah Heng, what do you plan to do? Will it cause you any trouble?" Ye Muyu asked uneasily, wanting to confirm once more.

Chu Heng smiled at her and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.

Ye Muyu’s ears turned a bit red. She instinctively looked around to make sure no one was there, then she was relieved.

"Next time don’t do it so suddenly..." Ye Muyu said, somewhat embarrassed.

Chu Heng gently rubbed the corner of her mouth with his thumb, a smile in his eyes, "Alright, alright, I’ll let you know next time."

"It’s mainly because being seen by others isn’t good." Ye Muyu hurriedly explained, not wanting him to misunderstand, her ears turning even redder, burning hot.

Chu Heng only found her extremely adorable and couldn’t help but lean over and kiss her again, noticing Ye Muyu’s neck turning red, and she looked a bit flustered.

He quickly spoke, "No, no one will come in. Don’t be afraid."

Ye Muyu let out a sigh of relief, relaxing completely, although the warmth on her face wouldn’t dissipate quickly.

"Um, there’s no trouble. The reason the Deng Family is favored recently is also because the court ministers have been opposing the Emperor." Chu Heng shifted to the serious topic.

Ye Muyu instinctively sat up straight, listening to him analyze the court’s situation.
