Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chu Heng’s originally anxious heart was instantly calmed down. He reached out and stroked Ye Muyu’s hair. “Yes, we don’t need to rely on outsiders.”

Ye Muyu saw that the man who was instantly appeased had vaguely grasped the technique of controlling her husband.

“Is there anything else you want to ask?” Ye Muyu asked him. Chu Heng subconsciously shook his head. “No.”

“Then I’ll go clean up the table.” Ye Muyu turned around.

Looking at Ye Muyu’s back, Chu Heng suddenly remembered that it was his first time eating these delicious dishes, but Ye Muyu had already left, so he was too embarrassed to say anything.

However, Lu Chuan saw Chu Heng’s expression and vaguely guessed something. “Old Master, are we going back to school later?”

“I’m not going back. Pull the carriage to the stable.”

Chu Heng shook his head. Just as he finished giving his orders, Chu Xing came over to look for him.

That was true. The sudden arrival of two carriages dressed in rich and noble clothes had long spread the news among the villagers.

Chu Xing was repairing the house next to him, so he could see it even more clearly.

Seeing that Chu Heng was free, he went to ask Chu Heng about the doubts in his heart.

After Chu Heng left, Ye Muyu waved at Lu Chuan.

“Madam.” Lu Chuan stood respectfully in front of her.

Ye Muyu looked at Chu Heng who was walking away and asked, “Has Old

Master encountered any troubles recently?”

“Troubling matters?” Lu Chuan did not think that Chu Heng would have anything to worry about. However, it seemed that Chu Heng’s mood swings were only when he was facing Ye Muyu.

“Did he encounter anything uncomfortable in school?” Ye Muyu changed the question.

Lu Chuan came up with a god-like assist. He thought for a moment and said,

“Maybe the food in the school is not as good.”

Lu Chuan’s thoughts were simple. Chu Heng was a little annoyed just now. The only thing that was related to him was perhaps the dinner he had with his guests in the afternoon.

“Oh, I see. I understand. You can go and do your work.” Ye Muyu asked Lu

Chuan to leave. She guessed that Chu Heng’s eyes were full of bitterness during the meal because he ate too little in school, but at home, he ate a lot.

It seemed that she should help Chu Heng solve the problem of food. After all, the provincial examination was not far away. Scholars should not be treated unfairly with food. Otherwise, their bodies would not be able to withstand it.

Chu Heng did not know that one day, his simple-minded guard would also be able to help him gain benefits from his wife.

At the same time, Chu Heng casually explained Xie Yu’s identity to Chu Xing and the others.

As for the reason, it was definitely not because of Ye Muyu’s cooking skills, but because of his identity as a scholar.

He did not want to push Ye Muyu to the edge of the water and fire.

The women in the village were already envious of Ye Muyu’s good life. If they were to say that her culinary skills were so good that the Third Young Master of the Xie family in the county took a fancy to her, it was inevitable that a few crazy jealous women would come out and cause trouble.

With his identity, it would be simple.

“Brother Heng, Third Young Master Xie also thinks highly of your literary talent,” Chu Xing praised sincerely.

Chu Dongyu and the others were also envious, but they felt more like they were basking in the glory. After all, Chu Heng was a member of the Chu family. The more capable he was, the more the members of the Chu family would bask in the glory.

“When will your house be done? Remember to call me for the banquet after it’s done,” Chu Heng said.

“Brother Heng, don’t worry. No one will forget you.” Chu Xing nodded.”

“Mmhm.”

Chu Heng was not a talkative person. After chatting with Chu Xing and the others for a while, he went home to read.

Chu Dongyu and Chu Xueqin had made up their minds to send their son to school. It would be best if he could pass the exam. However, even if they did not, they would not regret it..
