Chapter 236 -236 How Dare He Do Anything to Me_1
He Suxue’s delicate hand clenched into a fist within her sleeve, Yu Ze’s heart, she could not warm, and no other woman could warm it either. His regard for that village girl was nothing more than gratitude, otherwise, how could a mere village girl outshine her?
The only person who truly deserved to be by his side as his Princess, other than herself, was no one!
After about half a day’s journey, the carriage finally came to a stop, and the guard outside respectfully said, “Miss, we have arrived at Jinyang Town, and it is getting dark. We shall rest here for the night and proceed tomorrow. It will take about two hours to reach Tupo Village in Chatu Town.”
He Suxue’s eyes narrowed slightly as she got off the carriage, supported by Hong Xin, and then said, “There’s no rush to head to Chatu Town tomorrow. We’ll rest here first, and wait for my instructions.”
The guard was somewhat confused but dared not oppose her and quickly bowed and said, “Yes.”
“Summon Hei Bao, I have orders for him,” He Suxue said, and then she went straight up to the inn’s upper floor.
As Hei Bao was familiar with Chatu Town, Mr. He had ordered him to follow He Suxue back, and now that Prime Minister Kong had fallen from power, Hei Bao had clearly found a new master and had become a claw for the He Family.
The most luxurious private room in the inn had already been arranged properly in advance. As soon as He Suxue entered, Hong Xin brought her a cup of hot tea brewed with fine Longjing. He Suxue gave the room a cursory glance and her elegant brow creased imperceptibly, obviously finding the place rather shabby.
Despite being the best inn and the finest room in Jinyang Town, it still paled in comparison to her family residence in the capital.
“Miss, your tea.”
He Suxue gracefully sat down and took a sip from the tea cup. Hei Bao had already entered and respectfully clasped his hands, saying, “What does the Miss require of her subordinate?” His tone carried a bit of ingratiating flavor.
He Suxue lifted her gaze to him and said, “We can enter Chatu Town tomorrow, but I do not wish to proceed directly there.”
“Whatever the Miss commands, your subordinate shall not shirk from it.”
“I want Yu Ze to personally escort me into Tupo Village,” declared He Suxue haughtily.
Hei Bao looked somewhat troubled, “General Yu isn’t someone who can easily be swayed by others, your subordinate, I fear, may find this difficult.”
He Suxue gave him a sidelong glance, “Naturally, I did not count on you for this. Just do as I command.”
“Your subordinate is all ears.”
He Suxue whispered a few sentences in Hei Bao’s ear, and his eyes lit up, “Indeed a brilliant plan, killing two birds with one stone.”
He Suxue smoothed her hair and then said, “Do this task well, and your reward will not be slight. For the next few days, we will stay in Jinyang Town. Go to Tupo Village to scout around, and when they will be leaving the village, immediately report the news to me.”
Upon hearing of a reward, Hei Bao immediately became excited, “Naturally, your subordinate will go and make arrangements right away!”

Ever since the last upgrade in the quality of fabrics at Embroidery House, the clientele has begun to extend to high-ranking nobility. The profits have grown many folds, reaching at least seven to eight hundred taels of pure profit per month. It is the end of the month again, and Madam Liu has just brought the ledger to Muniang, who is currently reconciling the accounts.
Now with such substantial earnings, Muniang is contemplating the secondary development of the mountain. She plans on buying some chickens, ducks, and livestock to free-range on the mountain. There’s also a patch of land reserved on the mountain where she’s considering cultivating a unique flower field.
Muniang was just pondering when she suddenly saw Mrs. Lin come in. Muniang asked in surprise, “Mom, what brings you here so late?”
Mrs. Lin scolded angrily, “If I don’t come, would you have completely forgotten what I told you? I asked you to invite Zeng Gang to our home from the town. Why haven’t you made any moves these past few days?”
Muniang felt embarrassed and could only say, “Zeng Gang had already repaired our house early last year. How could I invite him over without any reason? Let’s just forget it.”
Mrs. Lin glared at her, “You usually have so many clever ideas, coming up with one after another. And now you’re telling me you can’t find a proper reason to invite him over? Don’t try to fool me. Didn’t he save Qinghe last time? Just say we want to properly thank him and invite him over.”
Muniang wore a look of grievance. Mom, I really don’t want to invite him, okay? Can you not stir up this muddy water?
“Don’t worry, Mom. We’ll take care of it tomorrow,” Yu Ze suddenly came in.
Mrs. Lin’s face lit up with satisfaction, and she started laughing, “That’s right. Erliang knows what’s what. It’s settled then. I will have the food prepared by noon tomorrow; you go to the town in the morning to bring him back.”
After speaking, she turned around, pushed the door open, and left.
Muniang looked helpless, “Why did you just agree to it? It’s unlikely that Zeng Gang will marry my aunt. Our house has been finished since last summer, and he still shows up in Tupo Village from time to time, always appearing wherever Qinghe is, we’re outsiders after all. How can you still not see clearly?”
Yu Ze, however, swept her up in a big embrace, wrapping his arms around Muniang’s waist, and said, “I know.”
“You know?”
“You can’t explain the intricacies to Mom clearly, and she is just trying to make a match, not necessarily insisting on Zeng Gang. If Zeng Gang is unwilling, it won’t happen. It’s better to follow Mom’s wishes, invite him over, and then, how he handles the situation is up to him. Who knows, this might even be an opportunity for him.”

Muniang was stunned. She hadn’t thought of this point—Zeng Gang had done so much for Qinghe in silence, but now Qinghe didn’t know anything about it, and she still had no feelings for Zeng Gang. If they didn’t push Zeng Gang to express something, Qinghe might remain clueless about his feelings indefinitely.
Muniang looked up at Yu Ze and suddenly felt that this guy was quite scheming, “You know so much, huh? You must have been around quite a few women before?” Muniang’s words carried a hint of acidity.
Yu Ze tightened his hold around her waist, “I’ve been at the border for ten years, where would I find a woman? Smart people are geniuses in every aspect.”
Muniang had also thought of this, but hearing him say it herself made her feel much more reassured.
“Mm, we need to get up early tomorrow to find Zeng Gang in town. Let’s go back to sleep early.”
Yu Ze looked at Muniang reluctantly. Muniang pretended not to notice and was ready to shoo him away. With no other choice, Yu Ze scooped her into a passionate kiss before he gave up.
Muniang’s face flushed red. She was being kissed until she was out of breath, her legs going weak, she bit back, “We agreed that if I won the bet, you wouldn’t touch me!”
Yu Ze calmly replied, “Oh? What bet? I forgot.”
Muniang glared with her almond-shaped eyes wide open. Looking at his scholarly rogue-like demeanor, she felt an almost carnivorous urge.
(Two more updates to come at noon.)
