Chapter 1250 -1247: Entering the Palace
The eldest son of the Qi family paced back and forth anxiously.
Qi Shang narrowed his eyes, “Has the Zhao family had any contact with the Chu family before?”
“Yes,” the eldest son of the Qi family calmed down, “I remember right after the incident, the young miss from the third household of the Zhao family went to the Chu residence. Could it be that the two families reached some kind of deal?”
“What happened afterwards?” asked Qi Shang, who, having been the Minister of Personnel for so many years, naturally had profound thoughts.
“Afterwards, the young miss from the third household of the Zhao family did not leave the house again, and the Chu family was also very quiet during that time. Even the servants did not leave, except when it was necessary to transport vegetables and fruits. It’s evident that the Chu family was being very cautious.”
Qi Shang murmured softly, “The Zhao family, the Chu family, Elder Master Zhao, Chu Heng…”
“Big brother,” Qi Shang suddenly thought of something and asked, “Was it you who met with Second Master Zhao recently?”
“Yes, Father, didn’t you say that, with your status, it would be inappropriate for you to associate with the various officials?”

Qi Shang did not respond; he felt somewhat uneasy.
This unease lasted until the afternoon.
Second Master Zhao was imprisoned, the female family members of the Zhao family almost went mad, and the news that Elder Master Zhao went to the Imperial Palace to kneel and beg the Emperor for forgiveness had also spread.
Shortly after, Qi Shang was summoned to the palace.
Ye Muyu in the back yard originally did not know of this news, but Zhao Qingqing came to visit her, and she began to have a clue.
“Qingqing? What’s wrong?” Ye Muyu had never seen a young girl cry with tears streaming down her face and hurriedly had Su Mei bring in some tea.
Zhao Qingqing dared not rush over, fearing she would hurt her, and could only helplessly say, “Sister Ye, my second uncle has been thrown into the Ministry of Punishments’ prison. And my grandfather, it’s heard that he went to the palace to confess his guilt proactively.”
“But what crime has our family committed, after all?”
Over the years, the Zhao family in the capital had been supported by the second household, and Zhao Qingqing, a simple young girl, couldn’t possibly understand the affairs of the court.
Ye Muyu was also not sure; the words she had said back then were meant to remind the Zhao family not to get involved in court politics. It seemed now that the Zhao family really had become involved.
“Don’t panic for now, this matter may not necessarily be a bad thing,” Ye Muyu spoke in her soft, soothing voice.
“The Elder Master is not one to act recklessly. His actions must be aimed at preserving the entire Zhao family.”
Zhao Qingqing appeared somewhat bewildered, “Really?”
“But in the residence, the second aunt and others are making a terrible fuss, saying that grandfather is forcing them to their deaths.”
Ye Muyu reached out to touch her head, “They’re making trouble because what your second uncle did has come to light, but now since your Zhao family has not yet divided, by actively seeking forgiveness from the Emperor, there’s still a chance for leniency. If you stubbornly resist, the outcome may not be better.”
“You must trust the Elder Master.”
Ye Muyu told Su Mei to send Zhao Qingqing back to her residence.
There were many matters happening at that time, and the capital was likely to be very lively. Whether it was those who came to gawk or those with ulterior motives, Ye Muyu didn’t feel at ease with Zhao Qingqing, a young lady, being out on her own.
However, regarding the affairs of the court, she could only hope that things would go smoothly.
“My lady, the master has returned,” announced the maidservant at the door.
No sooner had the maidservant’s voice fallen than Chu Heng lifted the door curtain and stepped in, quickly striding over to support Ye Muyu’s wrist as he saw her preparing to stand.
Seeing him handle her so cautiously, Ye Muyu smiled, “I’m not that fragile.”
“You still have the nerve to say that, you’ve lost so much weight. You need to eat well in the coming days,” Chu Heng insisted with an air of dominance, but his touch remained gentle.
Ye Muyu pursed her lips and smiled.
She then pulled him to sit by the window.
Only then did she ask, “Just now, Qingqing came to see me. She said that the Elder Master personally went to the palace, do you know what it’s about?”
