Chapter 1552: Chapter 1549 Surrounded
The very nervous guards, whose hearts were still racing, saw the master fall and were startled into exclamations.
Immediately after, footsteps sounded in the backyard.
A group of people quickly surrounded Chu Heng, who was standing in the courtyard, holding iron shovels, wooden sticks, and some even carrying oil barrels and flint stones.
“Who are you, daring to intrude on our Yonghe Workshop? If you don’t explain, don’t blame us for sending you straight to the yamen.”
A middle-aged man looked at Chu Heng warily, especially noticing his outstanding appearance and intimidating demeanor, feeling a bit uneasy as he quietly instructed the two strongmen behind him to get ready to douse him with kerosene and corner him.
Chu Heng noticed the actions of the three, his brow twitched, and he finally opened his mouth: “I am Chu Heng, your shopkeeper is my wife.”
The middle-aged man looked at him in astonishment but didn’t immediately believe him.
He still held the flint stone in his hand.
Chu Heng stood silently in place, “I won’t move, you can go get Ah Yu to find out.”
“Uncle Guo, let me go.” A young girl quietly sought the opinion of the middle-aged man.
The called Uncle Guo pondered for a while then nodded: “Alright, Er Ya, you run quickly.”
Er Ya nodded, bolted off, while Uncle Guo and the others continued to watch Chu Heng warily.
Ye Muyu was inside the large workshop, observing the water-powered weaving machine at work.
Currently, there were quite a few people in the workshop, but not many could enter the area with the water-powered weaving machine, as she was teaching the veterans how to operate the machine.
She heard a knock on the door just when she was halfway through her explanation.
She walked to the door and asked: “Who is it? What do you want?”
“Madam, it’s Er Ya. Someone intruded into the courtyard calling himself Chu Heng, who claims to be your husband…” Er Ya’s voice was a bit urgent; in fact, Ye Muyu already knew someone had entered the courtyard as soon as the gongs and drums sounded.
However, she intended to test the workshop’s people’s reaction and their security capacity.
Upon hearing Chu Heng’s name, she hesitated slightly before realizing, opened the door and told the embroideress, “I have matters to attend to, you go take a rest first, help train the new embroiderers, I’ll continue with this after I return.”
Embroideress Mo quickly nodded: “Madam, I understand.”
Ye Muyu didn’t even wash her hands, briskly walking to the front yard.
The front yard was empty, without any objects, not even a single weaving machine. When she arrived at the front yard, she saw Chu Heng standing in the middle, surrounded by the workshop’s workers, and couldn’t help but laugh aloud.
She quickly approached: “Why did you come and climb the wall?”
Chu Heng’s eyes bore a deep, gentle light: “Originally, I knocked at the main gate, but your gatekeeper was quite strict and wouldn’t let me in. Then I thought, it was a good chance to help you test the security of the workshop.”
“Oh, Uncle Guo, he did knock, but I didn’t let him in.” The youth standing behind Uncle Guo mentioned this, blushing, and then looked towards Ye Muyu, asking softly: “Madam, is this really the master?”
Ye Muyu held back her laughter, “Yes, remember going forward that if the master comes, you can let him in, but others will still not be given access. You did well.”
The youth finally relaxed, “Madam, understood. The master is so handsome, one can’t forget after just one look, won’t mistake it next time.”
“You all go back to work.” Ye Muyu instructed everyone in the workshop to leave.
