Chapter 2531: Chapter 2528: Inquiring About News
Her face didn’t look good, and the servants around her didn’t dare to say much, supporting her as they left the racecourse and entered the nearby inn.
“Why have you e back?” Master Su was about to go out to meet friends when he saw Lady Su, somewhat surprised.
“I’m exhausted. If I don’t e back, I’d embarrass myself. I don’t know where Madam gets so much energy from; after horseback archery for so long, she still wants to go racing now.” Lady Su murmured with a somber expression, “I’ve tried several times to get closer to her, but she doesn’t respond. Does she look down on us?”
Master Su frowned, “You didn’t offend Madam, did you?”
“We’ve just been transferred back from the locale and want to work in the Six Ministries, so interacting with the Chu family is inevitable. Let me tell you, don’t please others only to offend them.”
Upon hearing his reproach, Lady Su thought of Chu Heng’s attitude toward Ye Muyu and felt even more anxious.
“Although I didn’t please, I didn’t offend either.” Lady Su rolled her eyes.
Master Su snorted, “This is all for the family; what kind of attitude is this?”
“For acpanying Madam, my arms can’t be lifted, and the insides of my legs are chafed. Yet you don’t have a word of praise and only blame me.” Lady Su felt somewhat aggrieved and said, “Since you’re so confident, how is your relationship with Lord Chu?”
“Although Lord Chu hasn’t given a clear answer, if I pass the imperial court assessment by the yamen of the Six Ministries this time, the possibility of staying is very high.” Master Su had little hope that she could genuinely befriend Madam.
He inquired upon arriving in the capital and found that Lord Chu indeed loved his wife deeply, even not minding being mocked by colleagues as being henpecked.

Furthermore, whenever someone harmed his wife, Chu Heng would never hold back.
Therefore, Master Su did not doubt their feelings.
He also learned that Ye Muyu, although from a rural wealthy family not in official circles, was not easily fooled.
Especially since, during Chu Heng’s a, she managed to gain the Emperor’s favor, proactively supporting the Chu family, even the Qi family’s Grand Secretary Qi gained nothing good, enough to show she was no pushover.
His goal was simple: If his lady could help make friends with her, that would be great.
But if not possible, at least don’t offend her.
“Isn’t that obvious? Everyone in the court is saying so now.” Lady Su retorted angrily.
Master Su flicked his sleeves and snorted lightly, “What do you know? Everyone knows the court’s rumors, but who knows if they’re true? If there’s a mistake, we can only continue to be sent out.”
“I struggled for ten years outside to obtain this opportunity. How many decades does one have in life? If this time I can’t stay in Jing City, there may never be another chance to return.”
Upon hearing this, Lady Su felt anxious too, “Then what should we do?”
“Are the messages reliable?”
“Now we can only gamble,” Master Su said cautiously, “Gamble that this year’s official circle isn’t following the usual rules.”
“But…” Lady Su’s face was full of worry, “Can the imperial court’s changes truly be controlled by the Emperor? Won’t civil and military officials obstruct?”
“The proposal for the assessment clearly came from Lord Chu alone. How can it be taken seriously?”
“That’s why it’s called a gamble—gamble that Chu Heng can win; we win by following him. Otherwise, we can only leave the capital and continue to be sent out.” Master Su’s gaze was sharp, his mood somewhat heavy, not as relaxed as he appeared.
Upon hearing this, Lady Su felt neither sore nor tired.
