Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1156: Chapter 1153: Someone is Angry

After consulting with Chu Heng, they decided to bring the eldest sons of both the third and second households to the capital.

Studying in the capital was a bit better than in their hometown county.

Ye Muyu finished reading the letter.

In the evening, Chu Heng returned from the yamen.

The family had dinner, and the two children went back to their own courtyard.

When it was just the two of them, Ye Muyu first talked about the letter from home and then mentioned the incident she encountered at the Princess’ Mansion that day. She only described the gist, without going into details.

“You went to rescue someone after the ice cracked?” Chu Heng immediately grasped the crux of the matter, his complexion turning ugly in an instant as he pulled her over.

Ye Muyu’s small frame was yanked by him, crashing directly into the man’s solid chest.

She propped herself up on his shoulder, her nose slightly red, and she huffed, “Ah Heng, what are you doing?”

Chu Heng didn’t speak, but just rubbed her face roughly with his hand and then covered her hand, feeling it was a bit cold. He frowned and said, “Isn’t there a stove in the room? Why are your hands still so cold?”

“My hands aren’t very cold now. Think about the past, I’ve been well taken care of these two years and I don’t really get cold anymore, it’s just that I’m not as warm as you,” Ye Muyu explained.

Chu Heng blandly retorted, “I don’t remember the past.”

Ye Muyu: “…”

“Anyway, I’m really fine now, don’t worry. I knew what I was doing, so I lent a hand. One can’t just stand by and watch them in trouble, and besides, one of them is a girl from the Huo family,” Ye Muyu tried to appeal to him with reason and emotion.

She hoped Chu Heng would be sensible.

But how could a man in love be reasonable?

“From now on, I’ll arrange for a skilled maidservant to follow you.” Chu Heng really didn’t want Ye Muyu to take risks again. The ice was breaking, and the chilly pond water, should the rescue be delayed, would leave a person frozen stiff. Lifesaving would be in vain. He couldn’t risk her taking any chances.

“In short, you must behave and obey from now on, do you hear me?” Chu Heng unusually adopted a forceful tone.

Ye Muyu pushed him slightly and said, “Who is this for, huh?”

“It doesn’t matter for whom, you’re not allowed,” said Chu Heng huffily, his black eyes fixed on her.

Ye Muyu opened her mouth, at a loss for words, then after a moment resignedly nodded, “Okay, I know, isn’t it enough that I’m promising you?”

“Mhm,” Chu Heng was satisfied.

He pulled her onto the bed and tucked her into the quilts, placing the hot water bottle at her feet.

“Where are you going? Aren’t you going to sleep now?” Ye Muyu saw him tuck the corners of the quilt and get up to leave. She spoke up and asked.

Chu Heng said, “I’m going to instruct Lu Chuan to find you a martially skilled maid.”

Ye Muyu: “…” Can’t this wait until tomorrow, does it have to be tonight?

Her brow twitched, she sighed in resignation, and let him be.

Chu Heng actually went out, not only instructing Lu Chuan to find a martially skilled maid but also went to his study to write a detailed list of rules that the maid should follow. He handed it to Lu Chuan to pass on to the maid.

Thanks to the timely treatment at the Princess’ Mansion.

Qi Rong and Huo Kewen returned home after seven days. Both of them had been well medicated, but they had developed lingering illnesses from their ordeal.

Before they came back, the Elder Princess had already interrogated them about the incident.

“Lady, where is Ke Wen?” After leaving the court that day, Huo Zhengming went straight home to the inner courtyard and saw Madam Huo coming out to greet him. He frowned and asked.
