Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 454 - 454: Waiting

Chu Jin thought for a while and shook his head. “The teacher didn’t agree at first, but Brother Zhongjin insisted. He then sighed and agreed.”

“He sighed like this.” As he spoke, he even imitated Master Lin’s actions. He sighed and shook his head gently.

Ye Muyu rubbed his chin and pondered for a while. Seeing that Chu Jin was still standing there, she patted his back. “Go and change into plain clothes. Wear this for three days. Do you understand?”

“Got it, Mother. I’ll go now.”

When Zhang Cong saw this, he quickly followed them. When he saw that everyone at home had changed into plain clothes, he knew that he was no exception. He had to be careful in this matter. He could not make any mistakes.

Ye Muyu was only relieved when Chu Jin went to change his clothes.

Madam Hu was cooking porridge in the kitchen, so Ye Muyu did not go in again. She washed the stove first and then attended to her wound again.

The sky was getting darker and darker.

Chu Heng had not returned yet.

Ye Muyu was a little worried.

She stood at the door and waited.

Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo had been walking around the door a few times.

Slowly, the sky turned dark.

The porridge was still warm in the pot. Ye Muyu told the two children to do their own things. They did not have to wait.

Madam Hu waved at Nenya and Zhang Cong. The two children received their mother’s signal and knew that the most important thing now was to take good care of the Young Miss and Young Master.

“Madam, why don’t you go into the room and wait?” Madam Hu turned around and advised.

“It’s fine. I can just take a look at the moon. Speaking of which, this is the first time Chu Heng has come back so late.”

Hearing Ye Muyu saying Chu Heng’s name again, Madam Hu decisively chose to pretend not to hear. She softly consoled, “Master might have stayed in the academy for a long time because of today’s news.”

“Why don’t we ask Zhang Shu to wait at the village entrance?”

“No need. I’m just looking around. It’s dark now. What if something happens to Zhang Shu at the village entrance? Let’s light the lanterns at the entrance first. When they come back, it’ll be easier to find the way,” Ye Muyu ordered.

When Zhang Shu heard that, he hurriedly went to find a lantern.

Ye Muyu waited for another 15 minutes. Under Madam Hu’s persuasion, she returned to the central room.

About fifteen minutes passed, and there was a sound at the door.

Zhang Shu had been waiting outside the courtyard.

Hearing the sound of the carriage from afar, her face was filled with joy. She lowered her voice and shouted into the house, “Madam, Master is back.”

Madam Hu’s delighted voice sounded from inside. “Madam, you can rest assured now. Master was just staying late in school.”

As they spoke, the two of them had already come out of the central room.

Ye Muyu smiled, and her heart slowly relaxed. Even she did not realize this.

Ye Muyu stood at the entrance of the courtyard.

She saw the carriage gradually approaching.

Soon, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the courtyard.

Lu Chuan jumped down from his seat and lifted the curtain.

Chu Heng walked out of the room. He looked up and saw Ye Muyu waiting at the entrance of the courtyard. His cold face instantly melted as he walked up to Ye Muyu in two steps.

He reached out and grabbed her hand. Feeling the slight coldness, he frowned and his mouth was full of disapproval. “How long have you been waiting outside?” Although it’s summer, your health isn’t good. You don’t have to wait for me next time. No matter what happens in the future, I’ll always send a letter or come back in person.”

“Yes, I know. It’s just that the news in the village today has made me a little worried,” Ye Muyu said straightforwardly.

Chu Heng’s eyes lit up as he looked at her with a burning gaze. A hint of warmth flashed across his eyes..
