Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 705: The Reason Is Ready

“You’re only eating breakfast now?” Madam Liu walked in. She turned around and saw that there was no one else in the room. She was a little puzzled. “Where’s Ah Heng? I didn’t see him when I came.”

“Mother, you didn’t see him? Perhaps he went out to the village entrance to welcome guests.” Ye Muyu had just seen Chu Heng instructing Lu Chuan in the courtyard that the banquet at home had been arranged properly and that she had nothing to do with it.

Madam Liu thought for a while and seemed to have seen Chu Heng go out. However, she did not notice since she was here to look for Ye Muyu. She did not care where Chu Heng went.

“Ah Yu, what should Mother do later?” Although Madam Liu grew up in the county and was knowledgeable, it was her first time hosting a lady from a rich family. She could not help but feel a little nervous.

The reason why she came so late was that she had cleaned up her fingernails, face, and clothes at home. She had also changed into several sets of silk clothes.

It was better not to be hot now. Otherwise, it would be too hot to entertain the guests and they would keep sweating and making a fool of themselves.

By the time he finished packing, it was already late.

Ye Muyu smiled gently. “Mother, we’ll treat them like relatives. Since we’re the hosts and they’re the guests, we’ll let them do as they please. You don’t have to be nervous. We’re Ah Heng’s women. Most of the ladies will give us face.”

“If you meet someone who is ignorant… Mother,” Ye Muyu narrowed his eyes and smiled. “We don’t have to be polite to them.”

Madam Liu looked at her smile, and the uneasiness in her heart calmed down a lot. She smiled, “That’s true. I was just thinking about how they might look down on Ah Heng. I didn’t expect that our status would be on the same level as theirs now. Naturally, we don’t need to be too polite. The more casual, the better.”

“Yes, Mother, that’s the truth. Ah Heng passed the exam to give us a good life, not to restrain us.” Ye Muyu nodded.

Madam Liu looked at her calm face and her mood slowly calmed down. However, when she thought about it carefully, she felt a little strange. Why was her third daughter-in-law not only not stupid anymore, but also more reasonable?

She was not even the slightest bit timid on an occasion that even she would be nervous about. She acted so naturally as if she was a girl from a rich family.

As soon as this thought appeared, Madam Liu could not help but feel curious.

She looked at Ye Muyu several times.

“Mother?” Ye Muyu finished the porridge and did not let go of the side dishes. She was full.

When she looked up, she saw Madam Liu looking at her with a curious gaze. Ye Mu Yu’s heart skipped a beat, but she did not show it on her face. She asked softly, “Mother, what’s wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Mother just feels that it’s strange. You… Why did you suddenly become so knowledgeable? You seem to be a young lady from a wealthy family.” Madam Liu also found her thoughts a little sudden. She could not help but laugh helplessly as she thought about it. She touched her forehead and wondered if she was possessed.

Ye Muyu was already mentally prepared. Hearing this, she explained, “Mother, I woke up late today. My husband told me some rules last night. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so calm.”

“I see.” Madam Liu was enlightened.

Ye Muyu panicked in her heart, but she did not show it on her face at all.

“Then do you think my clothes are suitable?” Madam Liu did not suspect anything and turned her attention back to the guests.
