Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1501: Chapter 1498: Arrested

After realizing that the person finished speaking, they slipped away quietly when no one was paying attention, indicating that this person was deliberately spreading these rumors.

She nodded, and immediately someone followed the skinny man.

Once the person left, Su Mei spoke up: "Wasn’t it the Ministry of Punishment that took the people away for interrogation just now? Regardless of the situation, the truth will be revealed sooner or later."

"Everyone, it’s better not to take sides recklessly. These rumors, true or false, if we’ve unjustly wronged the General who served the country, wouldn’t that chill the spirits of the heroes? If it’s true, it’s not too late to curse them later."

"But a lot of people are saying so."

Su Mei didn’t refute, she just smiled: "I just think, would anyone really want to end their lineage? Of course, whether someone is good or bad, the government will have its conclusions."

The others were convinced by her mention of ending one’s lineage.

The voices of discussion quieted down significantly.

Su Mei knew that controlling public opinion would only be temporary. How could commoners know so much?

However, since someone was muddying the waters, there must be ulterior motives.

Doing what she could gave her peace of mind.

Soon, Su Mei turned around and entered through the back door of the Chu family residence, where the gatekeeper was already waiting to inform her.

Su Mei quickly walked to the woodshed and saw that the skinny man inside had been tied up, his mouth gagged, and he was moaning incessantly.

Lu Chuan was interrogating him inside.

The guard waiting outside saw Su Mei and quickly greeted her.

Su Mei waved her hand, indicating there was no need for formalities.

She stood for a while, seeing that Lu Chuan was about to use torture, indicating that the other party was a tough nut to crack; the interrogation might take some hours, so she told the guard she would report back to Ye Muyu first.

After hearing the news, Ye Muyu placed the sleeping Nuanbao back in the small bed and instructed Chun Xing and Aunty Hu to stay in the room to watch over the Young Master. She headed to the woodshed herself.

Lu Chuan had just come out of the woodshed and quickly put his hands behind his back when he saw Ye Muyu.

Even though he instinctively hid his hands, the strong scent of blood had already betrayed him.

"Did you get any information?" Ye Muyu didn’t ask him to reveal his hands. She had long heard of the interrogation methods Lu Chuan learned, which were numerous and hard for most to withstand.

It seemed Chu Heng taught him, but neither of them showed it at the residence on regular days.

Lu Chuan nodded: "Yes, it was someone sent by the Second Master of the Liu Family, but he’s just a small goon, so he doesn’t know why the other party sent him to deliberately spread rumors."

In fact, there are many reasons to spread rumors.

Ye Muyu was not surprised; if their tails were easily caught, they wouldn’t be part of the Liu family.

"Ask him who his accomplices are," Ye Muyu narrowed her eyes, having already devised a plan in her mind.

After hearing her words, Lu Chuan marveled at the lady’s keen instincts, but their intentions aligned, so he turned back into the woodshed to continue interrogating.

What happened afterward didn’t require Ye Muyu’s attention.

They identified a few suspicious individuals, and with the Scout Team gathering information outside, they quickly identified others spreading rumors.

Lu Chuan arranged for people to follow these individuals; eventually, they would show their true colors.

While Ye Muyu was handling the matter, there was no news from the Ministry of Punishment.

Instead, she received a letter from Chu Heng, informing her of his safety and advising her to protect herself.

Ye Muyu finally felt at ease, and her mood was good all day.

Nuanbao was already half a year old.
