Ye Muyu entered and was arranged to sit in the middle, neither too far forward nor too far back.
The Huo family's military rank was the same as Chu Heng's grade, but their seats were somewhat distant, surrounded by female family members from third-rank official's families, making it hard to pinpoint any deliberate arrangement.
Ye Muyu felt something was wrong.
When she saw the young madame of Duke's Mansion coming out, leading the unmarried female family members to admire flowers, including Huo Hongyan and even Chu Ziluo, Ye Muyu realized it was a scheme.
She became concerned and reminded Chu Ziluo of a few things before she left, then sent Liuye to follow her.
Chu Ziluo waved her hand, "Mother, I don't need her, let Liuye stay with you."
"Foolish girl, Mother is right here. There are so many people, nothing can go wrong. Listen to me, if you find anything unusual, shout for Liuye to hit and run."
Chu Ziluo laughed, "Mother, if people hear you, they'd think we were bandits."
