Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2390: Chapter 2387: Making the Chu Family a Target

If it were only for making money, she wouldn’t bother to check everything, but she is doing good deeds and accumulating blessings, so naturally she can’t let anything harmful to others happen.

After lunch.

Ye Muyu returned to her room.

Sitting by the bed, she fed Chu Heng a pill sent by Master Yuanhe.

The effect of these pills is better than the ones made by Lu Sangqi.

However, Lu Sangqi is smart; he took two pills and has been researching for quite some time now. Presumably, he will soon see results.

“My lady, Prince Rong’s Mansion is here to deliver gifts to the young miss and has also sent you a message.” Su Mei knocked on the door, reporting something from the doorway.

Originally intending to ignore it and go to bed to accompany Chu Heng, Ye Muyu stood up again, put on her shoes, and casually threw on a coat, saying, “Come in.”

“What’s the matter?”

Su Mei approached and whispered, “My lady, the Prince sent someone to relay a message saying there’s ongoing dispute in the court due to recruitment reasons. They finally decided to observe your shop’s business condition before making a decision.”

“What?” Ye Muyu’s face immediately darkened.

Isn’t this setting herself up as a target? After so long without any result, it’s naturally due to uneven distribution of benefits, and those opposing her will only increase, clearly the noble family officials unwilling to share profits.

Anyone wise knows that once common people can do business over time, it will surely impact the noble families’ businesses.

Noble families can’t always maintain their legacy, at least silver is essential.

Once their interests are directly affected, they might turn into mad dogs, eager to bite anyone.

Placing her out in the open must be someone’s deliberate act!

“Who proposed it?” Ye Muyu’s eyes cooled. She may not care how much taels of silver she earns, but now she needs enough silver to do good deeds, and naturally, anyone daring to target her is threatening Chu Heng’s life!

Threatening Chu Heng’s life is threatening her own.

Ye Muyu decided to go for it and wouldn’t let these people succeed.

“Minister Qi proposed it.”

“It seems, if we don’t touch him, he will come after us.” Ye Muyu sneered.

Su Mei, a bit worried, relayed Li Chongjin’s message: “My lady, Prince Rong sent word not to worry, he’s involved in the workshop too and will handle it well.”

“This matter is in the Imperial Study, only several cabinet officials know about it, and the Emperor’s stance isn’t clear.”

“Does this mean we only need targeted preventive measures against those families, and everything will be fine?” Ye Muyu just laughed, feeling the words overly naive.

Su Mei also felt that even if the message doesn’t get out, just Minister Qi’s family alone is enough to cause trouble.

“That’s what the Prince said. He has probably sent people to contact these officials, and the Prince said they won’t be too bold; otherwise, if caught, the Emperor won’t be easy to explain to.”

“It’s fine, go call Zhu San to mobilize forces and keep a close watch on these people.” Ye Muyu quickly made a decision.

As long as there are informants, she’s not afraid of these people making small moves.

Of course, the task of the informants is extremely important.

Whether they can prevent it depends on these people.

Su Mei also understood the importance within and dared not slack off, busily transmitting the message to Zhu San.

And most of the silver Ye Muyu has on hand is provided to these people, but in fact, it works very well.

Ye Muyu soon received news of Minister Qi taking action.
