Chapter 2183: Chapter 2180: Thrown into the Dungeon

He didn’t want to get involved in the conflict between the two families, so he finally said righteously, "Official Hu indeed holds the rank of a fourth official, and I have no authority to make a decision. We will have to report this first, but as for Official Hu... the case of hiring thugs to murder is backed by conclusive evidence, so he shall be imprisoned, pending further investigation."

After speaking, the Minister of Dali Temple immediately made a decision, hurriedly left the court, and prepared to return home to consider how to report today’s events.

The other witnesses were all imprisoned.

Chu Heng left the Court of Judicial Review, and it was already late.

He instructed someone to keep watch outside the prison of the Court of Judicial Review.

And then he made his way back home.

As soon as he returned to the residence, Ye Muyu, who had been anxiously waiting, heard the sound and quickly looked towards the entrance.

Seeing his figure, she hurried forward and asked worriedly, "How is it? Are you alright?"

"What could happen? Your husband just used a little trick and caused them to reap the consequences themselves." Chu Heng raised an eyebrow, speaking with a smile, as he naturally wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close to him as they walked towards the backyard. "Were you waiting anxiously? Have you had dinner?"

Ye Muyu breathed a sigh of relief, wanting to ask more about the follow-up but knowing this wasn’t the right place to talk, she held back.

She shook her head lightly upon hearing him, "Not yet, I figured you’d be hungry after a busy afternoon, so I waited for you to come back so we could eat together. I just had a bit of snack in the afternoon, so I’m not very hungry."

"What kind of snack?" Seeing her in a good mood, Chu Heng asked half-jokingly.

Compared to the invisible knives, intrigues, and schemes in the court, he felt relieved every day when he returned home. Aren’t these battles all for maintaining the stability of this home? Looking at his wife and children’s smiling faces, he felt it was all worth it.

"Grilled chicken feet and other roasted vegetarian dishes." Ye Muyu knew she couldn’t do much about court matters.

But watching Chu Heng busy every day, growing thinner, she racked her brains daily to make delicious food to fill his stomach and, of course, to share good food.

After all, good food always brightens the mood.

Being in the yamen scheming back and forth every day is exhausting, always wary of being caught and attacked, acting cautiously everywhere—it really drains one’s spirit.

Even a deity couldn’t stay alert like this forever without getting tired.

"You would like it, I’m sure. I’ve prepared other meat dishes that can be roasted as well. Want to try them later?" Ye Muyu, holding his big hand with her two hands intertwined with his fingers as Chu Heng played with her hand, smiled and recommended.

Chu Heng indeed relaxed after hearing this and showed some interest, "Sure, I get to taste my wife’s cooking again. Looks like I’m in for a treat tonight."

"Of course, you are in for a treat." Ye Muyu playfully patted his chest with a smile, "With such a good figure, it’d be a pity not to make you a big fatty."

"So that’s what you’re scheming..." Chu Heng laughed helplessly. He thought to himself that he had made big moves in the court before but didn’t receive such considerate treatment from his wife.

It seems that with the recent cold weather, Ah Yu, who loves good food, has perhaps put on a few pounds and isn’t happy about it, wanting to drag him into her indulgence.

The two continued their banter, caring for each other as they talked.

When they arrived at the backyard.

The smell in the courtyard made Chu Heng, already hungry, even more tempted.

"I’ll go change clothes first." Chu Heng said and went to freshen up.

Ye Muyu didn’t interfere but went into the living room.
