Chapter 1318: Chapter 1315: Transfer Order

“I will investigate this matter, the person suddenly changing his mind is a clue,” Zhang Tongzhi discussed privately with Master Zhong, and then had Master Zhong obediently give the silver as instructed by the person.

However, the two had already made other preparations.

In the shop.

Chu Lin and Chu Sheng were ready to leave.

That morning, Chu Lin and Chu Xing looked at the packed mule cart and stood at the door to bid farewell to Shopkeeper Zhang.

“Zhang, we’ll have to trouble you with the shop,” Chu Lin entrusted.

Shopkeeper Zhang, trained by the old residence and bound by contract, was not a concern in terms of loyalty.

Hearing this, he nodded continuously: “The elder master can rest assured, I will take good care of the shop. The shop has already become standardized; things should go smoothly hereafter. Should there be any issue, I will contact the elder master.”

“Hmm,” Chu Lin was reassured by Shopkeeper Zhang.

Chu Sheng and Chu Zhang also came out of the house.

The two got onto the mule cart at the back.

Chu Xing smiled and said, “It should take about two days to get home, and once you return, it will be very lively. You should prepare yourselves mentally.”

Chu Sheng understood his uncle’s implication right away, probably referring to meeting prospective brides.

He was not opposed to this, but was thinking about General Shen’s invitation, which he initially did not plan to attend. However, Chu Lin advised him to interact more with other scholars, and besides, the exams had ended, he just needed to restrain himself.

Unexpectedly, General Shen never came to find him again, and he even heard that General Shen had left the Prefectural City due to some issues. Although he found it strange, he did not think too much of it.

As Chu Lin and his group were heading home.

In the capital.

Ye Muyu also received an unexpected piece of news.

“My elder brother was assigned to support the Northern Region?” Ye Muyu was somewhat astonished; she hadn’t expected General Shen, with so many under his command, to send her brother there.

“Yes,” Chu Heng sat next to her, applying essential oil and massaging her legs.

She had just experienced leg cramps again, and Chu Heng, distressed by her discomfort, took over the massage duty. His strength, coupled with his controlled force, helped Ye Muyu recover from the cramping discomfort in no time.

Feeling no discomfort anymore, she smiled and said, “Ah Heng, no need for that, I’m all right now, please sit down.”

“Are you really not feeling uncomfortable?” Chu Heng was still worried.

It was his first time realizing how painful pregnancy could be; he had never thought to concern himself with such matters before, thinking at most he needed to earn money to support the family and strive in his studies, never concerning himself with these feminine affairs.

But seeing Ah Yu’s painful expression in his arms, he felt the pain as if it were his own, trying every means to alleviate her suffering.

“Yes, I’m fine now, don’t worry,” Ye Muyu leaned in and kissed his cheek, her eyes brimming with stars.

Now heavily pregnant and about half a month away from delivery, she had gained some weight, her cheeks finally full, making her look much more radiant than before.

Chu Heng, used to such care, adjusted her position and placed a cushion at her waist.

“If you feel any discomfort, don’t bear with it. Tell me,” Chu Heng instructed worriedly.

Ye Muyu nodded with a smile, playfully saying, “I know, I won’t hide it from you. Fortunately, this child will finally be born in half a month.”

She took a cherry and popped it into her mouth, then remembering the Ye family, asked, “Ah Heng, has my elder brother written about how Mother and the others are coping?”

All the Ye family members had moved to live near Luoping Pass.
