Chapter 2522: Chapter 2519: Wedding Invitation
Because of this, even though the local officials knew they were doing unpaid work for the Ministry of Industry Office, they willingly complied, since they all wanted promotions, and political achievements were required for that.
Speaking of which.
Ye Muyu had someone bring Lu Sangqi into the main courtyard and serve him a cup of his favorite dark plum tea.
“What brings you here today?”
“Ahem.” Lu Sangqi looked delighted and handed her a booklet, “I’m here to deliver an invitation.”
“Oh? Getting married, are we?” Ye Muyu teased.
Lu Sangqi felt his face flush, but remembering that his marriage had been arranged thanks to Ye Muyu’s matchmaking, he had nothing to be shy about. He immediately smiled honestly, “Yes, it’s finally settled, so I don’t need to worry anymore. Sis, you have to come.”
“Of course I’ll go, how could I not?” Ye Muyu’s lips curved up as she accepted the invitation and suddenly asked, “By the way, can I bring Chu Heng along?”
Lu Sangqi winced, feeling a toothache, “Sis, are you teasing me on purpose?”
“I was wrong, alright? Considering that Chu Heng treats you well, I won’t hold it against him,” Lu Sangqi said haughtily.
“Don’t worry, I’ll pass your words along to him,” Ye Muyu added.
Lu Sangqi’s face turned green immediately, and he folded his hands in a plea, “Sis, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Be generous and stop deliberately picking at me, okay?”
“Will you badmouth Ah Heng again?” Ye Muyu squinted at him and asked.
Without hesitation, Lu Sangqi waved his hands, fearing that if he was too slow, Ye Muyu might fix her sights on him again.
“I won’t, I won’t. I shouldn’t have a mouth to speak, pfft pfft pfft, look at what I’m saying.” Lu Sangqi, being sensible, decisively tarnished his own reputation.
Ye Muyu squinted her eyes in satisfaction, “Alright then, since you’re so sincere, we’ll both come to your celebration tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already prepared a gift.” Ye Muyu took a sip of tea, “It will definitely be unforgettable for you.”
Lu Sangqi shivered instinctively.
He felt a bit uneasy but didn’t dare to ask Ye Muyu directly, lest he upset her again.
He could only suppress his curiosity and quickly make his exit.
Ye Muyu hummed and called Su Mei over, “Bring me that golden nanmu wood box from the storeroom.”
“Yes.” Su Mei quickly brought the item over.
Ye Muyu placed it on the shelf next to the bed.
She only mentioned it when Chu Heng came home after finishing his work that evening.
Half-awake, she told Chu Heng about the gift she planned to give, “Hmph, since Lu Sangqi’s been badmouthing you since he met you, I’ll give him that booklet and see if his wedding night will be unforgettable!”
“What booklet?” Chu Heng asked, curious, lowering his voice.
“It’s on the cabinet across the room,” Ye Muyu muttered before turning over to continue sleeping.
Chu Heng tucked her in, then walked over, opened the golden nanmu box, and when he saw what was inside, a vein throbbed on his forehead.
He never imagined his dear wife would give Lu Sangqi a booklet of depictions of male relationships!
Seeing such a thing, it’s likely a straight man would indeed have a memorable wedding night, in a teeth-gritting way.
Very calmly, he put the contents back into the box, closed it, and restored everything to its original state, ensuring no one would notice it had been touched.
Since his wife was helping him get back at Lu Sangqi, he naturally wouldn’t ruin her goodwill, so he decided to let Lu Sangqi enjoy the consequences.
