Chapter 1285: Chapter 1282: Meeting Fu Ming

As he passed the restaurant, Chu Heng paused for a moment, then turned and went upstairs.

He hadn’t taken many steps before he was bumped into by a figure.

Chu Heng subtly stepped back, observing the man in front of him whose expression was gloomy, his eyes filled with jealousy, rage, and various other complex emotions.

“Minister Fu,” Chu Heng waved his sleeve and looked at him calmly.

Fu Ming sneered, “What minister am I now? Years of hard study, ruined in an instant.”

“Is Minister Fu planning to speak with me here?” Chu Heng asked indifferently.

Fu Ming’s face stiffened slightly; the area in front of the restaurant was bustling, surrounded by commoners and even court officials.

He looked deeply at Chu Heng, “If Lord Chu wishes, naturally we should speak inside the restaurant.”

Chu Heng did not say much, simply following him inside.

In less than fifteen minutes, the two appeared in a private room on the second floor.

Chu Heng only ordered a few small dishes and instructed the restaurant to bring up a roast duck after fifteen minutes.

“You had prepared to leave early?” Upon hearing his instructions, Fu Ming, flushed with anger, said, “Do you look down on me so much?”

“You’re overthinking it. I need to return to dine with my wife; otherwise, she would worry,” Chu Heng replied, somewhat helplessly, not angered by Fu Ming’s words.

Fu Ming’s voice turned hoarse, suddenly thinking of something, his expression becoming odd, “Your relationship with your lady is not just for show?”

“If I could keep up the pretense forever, who would know whether it’s real or fake?” Chu Heng replied with a smile, not directly answering.

Fu Ming’s pupils constricted, suddenly understanding something, and bitterly smiled, “No wonder you succeeded, and I lost my position.”

“Compared to losing a position, being able to save one’s life is already extremely fortunate,” Chu Heng said meaningfully.

Fu Ming shuddered, his complexion turning somewhat pale.

“I know what you want to ask. Staying in the capital is like taking chestnuts from the fire. What you can get depends on your ability; if the ability is not strong, then choose a clever ally. Of course, this ally must not let their servants take the blame; at least their nature must be upright.”

“If you wish to leave the capital, you can send someone to message me, and think about what you truly want.”

Chu Heng did not wait for his answer, glanced at the sky, and seeing it was getting late, left the restaurant.

Fu Ming looked at the table full of dishes, feeling a chill in his heart one moment, sorrowful the next.

“Ah Heng?” Just as Chu Heng was leaving with the roast duck, not having gone far, he ran into Chu Lin.

“Big brother, you’re still outside?” Chu Heng looked at the servants following behind him before he felt relieved.

Chu Lin’s eyes smiled, “Yes, I just came out from eating at a shop. The prices in the capital are indeed pricey.”

“It is somewhat expensive. Do you have enough silver for expenses?”

“Enough, more than enough. Business back home is good, and I brought quite a sum with me this time—rich in journeys, poor at home,” Chu Lin said, having set up his own household these past years, his envy had vanished.

His life was good, something brought about by his brother. This was something he could not deny. Now that his own life was also good, of course, he was happy.

“Are you heading home now?” Chu Lin asked, noticing the food Chu Heng was carrying and realizing after a moment.

“You can continue your stroll. Just let the residence’s servants follow you, and I’ll be at ease.”

Chu Lin indeed came to learn about the food industry; he would not stay long in the capital, so he did not refuse.

Chu Heng greeted him and then returned to the residence.

At the residence, dinner was already prepared, a modest amount, enough only for the children and Ye Muyu to eat with Chu Heng.
