Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2137: Chapter 2134: Coaxing

Ye Muyu didn’t say anything further at this point.

She suddenly had a whimsical idea and thought of holding a matchmaking banquet.

If someone catches your eye, then get married, and as the household grows, there will be more family members.

Of course, she needed to discuss this with Chu Heng, as there were distinctions between the Mingwei and the secret guards. There isn’t much issue with Mingwei getting married, but the key is the secret guards. Once they’re married, do they have to switch to Mingwei?

She didn’t quite understand Chu Heng’s arrangements, so she naturally wouldn’t make decisions on her own.

She prepared a warm bath for Nuanbao.

Dinner was almost ready as well.

Unexpectedly, Chu Heng returned home early, just in time for dinner.

“So early today?” Ye Muyu was a bit surprised and quickly stood up to ask the servants to bring another set of tableware. She waved at him, “Come over quickly, there’s sweet and sour ribs that you like today.”

Chu Heng went to wash his hands first. When he came over and saw the sumptuous dinner on the table, he also felt pleased, “Is there some big event today, a celebration?”

On regular days, the food prepared at home was also good, but not as plentiful as today. Even a pot had been prepared, perhaps afraid they wouldn’t finish it, so they only prepared a small mandarin duck pot for dipping some meat dishes.

Ye Muyu, smiling sweetly, picked up a rib for him, “Of course, those people tried to scheme against you and ended up disgracing themselves. Isn’t this a cause for celebration?”

“Father, Mother even had the servants set off firecrackers at the gate,” Chu Ziluo remembered the spies sent by those outside the residence. Hearing that the Chu family set off firecrackers to ward off bad luck made her want to laugh.

She was naturally reserved, and even if she was happy, she wouldn’t show it so clearly.

But Mother said that they should let those officials see that offending Chu Heng leads to a loss of face. Let’s see if they dare to try again in the future. Though it was a private petty move, one had to admit it was really satisfying.

Chu Heng knew immediately that this was his wife venting for him, and he couldn’t help but reach out to touch her cheek gently, “You don’t need to bother with them. After all, your husband here is a solitary official; those people can’t stand me and have no way to deal with it, making them even more upset.”

“It’s just this time you got involved,” Chu Heng said, a flash of displeasure crossing his eyes.

He hadn’t expected that Emperor Xuanming would end up using Ah Yu, and without the royal leak, how could Imperial Censor Zhang have known who wrote the book in question?

He wanted to give his wife a good life, where she wouldn’t want for food or clothing, lacking nothing in money, free to enjoy whatever she liked. He was also willing to let her do what she loved, but he didn’t intend to push her into the spotlight, making her a target for everyone.

Ye Muyu understood him best. Seeing his lips pressed tightly together, she knew his heart was uneasy.

She reached out to hold his hand, gently squeezing it with a smile, “It’s okay. I was prepared for this long ago. Besides, being famous isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In the future, when people talk about our Lord Chu, they’ll know he has a very capable lady, and the two of them are a perfect match. Who knows, maybe I can bask in your glory and be remembered through the ages.”

“You’re only saying sweet things to coax me,” Chu Heng raised her hand and brushed it against his cheek. Admittedly, Ye Muyu’s words were very appealing to him.

He wanted everyone to know that he had an equally outstanding wife and that the two of their names would always appear together.

“This is no coaxing; it is the truth,” Ye Muyu’s voice was extremely gentle, her mouth curving into a slight smile, successfully appeasing the man who had been feeling displeased inside.
