Wang Shichu was speechless. Was it really good to be so direct?

“Alright, then I’ll do it.” Wang Shichu finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

He waved his hand and ordered the servants to send the fabric to the Xiang residence.

He carefully looked into the courtyard. When he saw Xiang Zhifu looking over, he quickly smiled awkwardly. “Is Scholar Chu living well?” Why don’t we go to my house?”

“There’s no need. I can still entertain my relatives.” Xiang Zhifu looked at him warily. He didn’t want to say anything more and started to chase him away. “Master Wang, if you have nothing else to do, you can go back. You won’t be able to see properly when it gets dark.”

“Alright, I’ll leave now.” Wang Shichu could tell that Chu Heng had no intention of meeting him. Otherwise, the father and son of the Xiang family would not have such an attitude.

However, he was still a little worried and planned to come again tomorrow. He had to meet Chu Heng and figure out the situation first.

There was also no news from the county…

Wang Shichu turned around and left. He did not stay any longer and went to the other villages. He directly asked the servants to deliver the cloth. He didn’t need to show up.

On the other side, Xiang Zhifu told Chu Xingjun about meeting Wang Shichu before he went into the house to inform Chu Heng.

Chu Heng nodded and did not say anything else.

Xiang Zhifu saw that he did not show any signs of anger, so he knew he had not done anything wrong and was relieved.

For dinner, they had killed a chicken and a fish. Although they were all farm dishes, Chu Xingjun and her daughter-in-law had prepared them very carefully.

The bowls and chopsticks were also cleaned up, and the dishes were also placed on the plates.

The craftsmanship was good and the taste was good.

By the time the whole family finished eating, the sky had already darkened.

At night, Chu Xingjun cooked by setting up a stove outside. They were still baking the wood ears in the kitchen, so the kitchen could not be used.

Although it did not affect cooking dinner, it was inconvenient.

At night…

The Xiang family’s courtyard was lit with lanterns, so it was still quite bright.

Several relatives and villagers of the Xiang family next door came over to talk to Xiang Zhifu. They were asking about Wang Shichu’s delivery of cloth earlier.

“Brother Xiang, what is Landlord Wang trying to do?”

“That’s right. Why did they send us fabrics too? It’s even brocade!”

“They are such good fabrics. how much silver would it cost?”

“That’s right. The person who sent the gift didn’t say why. He only said that it was your idea, Brother Xiang.”

“However, Landlord Wang even forced a marriage…” The voice of the person who said this slowly became softer. After all, it was related to Xiang Ling’er’s reputation, so it was not appropriate to say it in front of her parents.

Xiang Zhifu knew that everyone would come over and ask, so he did not hide anything and immediately told them how the matter was solved.

They heard that the matter was resolved by Chu Heng in a few words, and even Xiang Ling’er was also saved by Chu Heng.

Instantly, many people’s faces flashed with envy.

“Brother Xiang, congratulations. Your nephew is really capable.”

“That’s right. He is a high scholar. How can he not be capable?”

“Second Brother, is Ah Heng willing to talk to us?” The head of the Xiang family, Xiang Zhisen, touched the hem of his clothes and said in embarrassment.

At the same time, he looked around, trying to determine which one was Chu Heng.

Xiang Zhifu was a little hesitant. “Ah Heng probably needs to rest. He’s been studying hard.”

“Why don’t I ask him later and you guys come back tomorrow?”

“Anyway, Ah Heng will only be back in a few days.”

Xiang Zhisen’s disappointed eyes lit up. He nodded immediately. “Alright, we’ll come again tomorrow.”
