Chapter 999: Making Trouble

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

That night, Chu Heng slept very comfortably. The next morning, he woke up in high spirits. After practicing martial arts in the courtyard, Ye Muyu woke up and the two had breakfast together.

He still needed to continue investigating the situation of the river, while Eunuch Ren stayed in the county office to receive the rich and powerful people of He County.

Ye Muyu waited for Chu Heng to leave but did not leave.

Since she knew that County Magistrate Sun was shameless, she naturally had to be more vigilant.

She found a set of clothes, changed into them, and sat quietly in the courtyard to wait.

Not long after, Eunuch Ren sent someone over, but there was no one at the county magistrate’s side.

Ye Muyu noted down the situation and followed the maidservants of the Sun family to the courtyard where the banquet was held.

The Sun family’s banquet was very grand this time. Those squires who had heard the news came, so the seats were divided into men and women.

Since Chu Heng was not around, as his wife, she naturally had to show up.

No matter how unwilling the Sun family was, Ye Muyu’s position was always at the head of the table.

However, when she reached the female hall and saw the woman sitting at the head of the table, she could not help but applaud County Magistrate Sun’s boldness. He actually let his concubine come over to entertain the ladies. Mrs. Sun did not even show up.

Ye Muyu did not say anything immediately. She listened to the other Madams and realized that other than County Magistrate Sun, who had called a concubine to entertain them, the others were all the first wives. Some Madams were a little angry when they saw Concubine Gao, but they did not dare to offend her, so they tacitly agreed.

Ye Muyu picked up the teacup and took a sip. Feeling the inferior tea leaves in the cup, she stopped drinking it and put the tea leaves down.

“Ladies, welcome to the banquet today…” Concubine Gao raised her teacup smugly. The other Madams smiled reluctantly and cooperated.

This exposed Ye Muyu.

The clothes she wore were not the most luxurious, but they were very exquisite. At the beginning of the banquet, many ladies had already greeted her. At this moment, some of them did not dare to approach her, but they noticed the exquisiteness of her clothes and took a second look from time to time.

Seeing that she did not pick up the teacup, many of the ladies subconsciously looked at her.

The smile on Concubine Gao’s face stiffened. However, County Magistrate Sun had warned her last night not to offend Chu Heng and his wife, especially since Eunuch Ren was part of the emperor’s men. If they acted too excessively, he would definitely lose his official position.

Concubine Gao was comfortable in her position as the wife of a county magistrate, but she still wanted to be the wife of a higher official. How could she accept that County Magistrate Sun was demoted? Although she was unwilling, she still nodded and agreed.

“Mrs. Chu, why don’t you have tea with us?” she asked with a stiff face. “Do you think our status is lower than yours?”

This sentence directly dragged the others out, making Ye Muyu offend everyone.

Ye Muyu looked at her in confusion. “This concubine is really strange. The host hasn’t even arrived yet, so how can you steal the host’s place?”

“What do you mean, Mrs. Chu?” Concubine Gao forced a smile.

Seeing that the two of them were actually going against each other, many of the other ladies chose to watch the show. They put down their teacups and watched silently.

They could hear Ye Muyu’s words even more clearly.

“Could it be that in County Magistrate Sun’s house, it’s part of the rear residence’s rules to let a concubine entertain us? I’m sorry, but I think that’s rude,” Ye Muyu glanced at her indifferently.

“It would be fine if you didn’t ask, but since you asked, I shall naturally answer your doubts.”
