Chapter 2432 - 2429: Engagement Arrangement
However, Huo Ning was confined to the courtyard by Second Lady Huo and couldn’t get out, so naturally, he had no opportunity to make a move.
At most, he could send a spy to find out what exactly Huo Ning was discussing with Madame Yue.
Before he could get any concrete information, the news of Third Madam Qi insisting on leaving the residence caught Qi Yuan’s attention, leaving him with no time to care about Huo Ning, an outsider.
Once Third Madam Qi left the residence, she would eventually find out what they had done, and they had blocked her many times before. This time, they had no other excuse.
Even Minister Qi had no choice but to agree with a stern face.
At this moment, Lu Sangqi was at the Chu family.
After finishing matters with the Huo family and finalizing his engagement with Huo Ning, he came to the residence to personally apologize to Ye Muyu.
Although he had sent a letter before, he hadn’t visited in person, which left him feeling uneasy.
"Sister, Lord Chu’s condition is improving greatly." This time, after examining Chu Heng, Lu Sangqi was somewhat surprised.
Considering Chu Heng had been in a coma for several months, his bodily functions should have declined despite the best care.
Yet, surprisingly, Chu Heng hadn’t deteriorated, as if he was about to wake up at any moment, merely sleeping rather than in a coma.
Ye Muyu’s eyes widened suddenly, and she asked excitedly, "Really? You mean Chu Heng might wake up at any time?"
"Indeed, but this diagnosis is solely based on his physical condition. As you know, a person’s consciousness is something they have to rely on themselves for. Maybe if you talk to him more often, you could awaken his consciousness."
Ye Muyu nodded, holding Chu Heng’s hand to her cheek, her eyes misty, filled with deep reliance and emotion.
Seeing her like this, Lu Sangqi’s Adam’s apple slightly moved. He was at a loss for words and realized that doing nothing was the best course of action for now.
He quietly retreated.
About fifteen minutes later,
he saw Ye Muyu come out with reddened eyes.
"Do you have something to say to me? Come this way." Ye Muyu rubbed her eyelids, composed her emotions, and entered the living room.
After instructing the maidservants to serve hot tea and pastries, she dismissed them.
Lu Sangqi sat on the opposite side, looking at her with some guilt. "Sister, I’m sorry. This time, my agreement with the Huo family somewhat affects Chu Ziluo."
"I know about this matter. You must have plans to ensure the Huo family doesn’t really succeed. But," Ye Muyu looked at him and didn’t shy away from questioning due to their closeness, "what’s your plan regarding Prince Rong?"
"My initial plan was to inform Prince Rong when the time was right." Lu Sangqi did not intend to genuinely offend Prince Rong, but he found it somewhat difficult to coordinate with him.
No matter the final outcome, he would employ any means necessary to achieve his goals. He was only concerned that it might affect the Chu family, so he came personally to explain."
"This isn’t difficult; I can help you," Ye Muyu said.
Lu Sangqi was momentarily stunned and instinctively shook his head, "No need, sister. I’m already relying on you too much; I can’t trouble you more. This issue is my fault from the start, and it’s unwise for you to offend Prince Rong."
"I’m merely offering to speak to Prince Rong for you. As for the compensation, you’ll need to negotiate that yourselves later." Ye Muyu shook her head. To Lu Sangqi, she had never considered things to be given, as long as he didn’t betray her, she would never be dissatisfied. Proper interactions and favors should still be maintained.
Lu Sangqi’s throat felt somewhat blocked.
