Chapter 1284: Chapter 1281: Leaving the Palace

“Your eldest cousin and the others are indeed ready to discuss marriage matches; they’ve already met with a few girls back at the old home,” Chu Lin didn’t keep this from the family and said with a smile as he stroked his beard, “All of them are from families of good character and simple backgrounds. I agree with Third Brother, given our current situation, it’s not suitable to be too ostentatious. Therefore, selecting girls from scholarly families would be just right.”

Chu Lin and his wife never considered daughters from powerful and influential families, after all, they were not in a position to marry above their status, and there’s wisdom in the saying that it’s better to marry a woman of higher status and take a daughter-in-law of lower status.

But those who had never been educated simply lacked broad vision. The Chu family wanted to develop, so choosing girls from ordinary scholarly families was just perfect.

“Remember to call me when your eldest cousin and second cousin get married,” Chu Jin was thrilled and hurriedly reserved a spot for the festivities. He hadn’t been back to his old home for a long time and was missing it terribly. He also knew that without something important, there was no chance to go back, unless he was a little older and could travel on his own.

“Done, when the time comes, you and Third Brother and Third Brother’s Wife will all come back,” Chu Lin said happily.

This matter was not finalized for the time being; everything would wait until Ye Muyu gave birth to the child.

Since it was Chu Lin’s first visit to the capital, he obviously couldn’t come and then just leave right away.

He was taken around the capital for several tours by Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen, sampling various dishes at each stop.

As a result, they were not seen for several days in a row.

Ye Muyu instructed the servants to treat them well and to wait for Madam Tang’s instructions in the kitchen so as not to overprepare food and waste it.

That day.

Ye Muyu received news in the mansion.

Fu Ming, a scholar from the same year as Chu Heng, had been stripped of his official position due to mishandling affairs, and others had been demoted or suspended from duty.

Speaking of suspension, when it would be lifted was an uncertain matter.

Therefore, this news was bad news for Duke Zheng.

Ye Muyu’s fingers touched the teacup and subconsciously flinched.

She thought of something she hadn’t paid attention to recently.

It seemed that it had been a long time since there had been any news about Madam Tang.

She rubbed her forehead and called Su Mei in, instructing her to send someone to inquire about Madam Tang’s whereabouts.

This person was like a ticking time bomb, and it was bad enough that she was a threat, but the fact that she could use Duke Zheng to take action made it worse.

Yamen.

After finishing his official duties, Chu Heng was summoned to the palace by the Emperor from time to time.

Today was no different.

He had just come out of the palace. Now, everything was related to the war in the Northern Region. They had just recovered one city and with the support of provisions, Emperor Xuanming naturally wanted to pursue the victory without wasting food supplies.

However, the progress of the King of Huainan was not smooth, and memorials from the chief commander and two deputy generals about their disputes were sent to the palace from time to time.

The court was thus in daily debate over this matter, with the three parties each sticking to their guns and differences arising in military strategies.

One wanted a gradual approach while another wanted to chase the victory.

If it were any other time, the King of Huainan wouldn’t be hampered by the deputy generals, since he was the chief commander. However, previously, enemies who had infiltrated Great Chu had used Chu Heng as evidence of Huai Nan’s lax military discipline under the King of Huainan.

As a result, Duke Zheng was full of confidence, and the commanders from the King of Huainan’s side suffered losses from time to time due to political disagreements. Emperor Xuanming, tired of their constant bickering, was so irritated daily that he even ate less.

Just the other day, he thought to ask about the financial and grain situation of the Ministry of Revenue and had the Minister of Revenue and Chu Heng summoned to the palace for an inquiry.

He also took the opportunity to discuss the affairs of the Northern Region in private with Chu Heng.

Chu Heng stepped out of the palace gate.

He felt that the hazy sky might clear a layer of its dark fog if progress was successful; it should be good news.

Just as he left the palace gate.

He walked on the bustling streets.
