Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

She smiled.” Why are you playing around? Aren’t we talking about serious matters?”

“I asked Lu Chuan to investigate Tang Rou. Maybe she has something to do with this.”

“In short, Lil’ Jin was almost kidnapped. We need to investigate it clearly, or else you won’t be at ease,” Chu Heng said.

When Ye Muyu heard this, she agreed with him to investigate. However, when it came to Tang Rou, she felt that Tang Rou was too stubborn. She was not someone who would give up easily, so it was good to investigate.

Ye Muyu glanced at him and reminded him, “Don’t let Lil’ Jin hear you.

Otherwise, he’ll think you don’t care about him. You’re his father. How can you rest assured if you don’t find out?”

“It’s alright.” After Chu Heng answered this, he saw Ye Muyu’s speechless expression.

However, he indeed needed to protect his son. After all, he was a father.

After all, Chu Heng had experienced two lifetimes, so his childish behavior only lasted for a moment.

As for what he was thinking, only he knew. He added, “Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”

“Go and rest first. I’ll go and brew some calming tea for Lil’ Jin.” Chu Heng turned around and went into the kitchen. Ye Muyu was used to him doing things that outsiders thought could only be done by ‘women’.

Thus, she did not have much reaction.

On the other hand, Old Madam Ye and Madam Han, who were beside her, watched as Chu Heng entered the kitchen. When they saw him ‘condescend’ to take out a ceramic jar and boil the calming tea, they felt a little shocked.

Old Woman Ye muttered, “My daughter, my son-in-law is a scholar. How can he cook? His hands are used for writing, so how could he do such menial work? Didn’t he hire servants at home? Does Son-in-law usually enter the kitchen personally?”

Madam Han looked worried. “Second Sister, you can’t be willful. You’ll have to live your husband for your entire life. A woman should be obedient and serve her husband. I, your sister-in-law, don’t have the fortune…”

As Madam Han spoke, her eyes turned red.

However, unexpectedly, Old Madam Ye, Ye Mengjie, and Ye Hai were not surprised at all.

Ye Muyu was confused.

She saw that Madam Han had recovered after a while and was still energetic enough to tell Ye Hai not to be too naughty.

Ye Muyu was speechless. So this was an indirect resentment?

“Daughter, you’re amazing. Son-in-law is not bad. Look at the other girls. How can they have a better life than you? How can their husband be better than yours? In that case, it’s still me who is blessed.” Old Madam Ye was surprised and then proud, especially when she saw her daughter’s unsurprised expression. It was obvious that she was not pretending in front of her.

Ye Muyu did not bother to explain since her family had always been direct. Chu Heng was a very capable person. When she thought about how he was in the county, she knew that he did not need anyone to take care of him.

However, Ye Muyu still felt that Chu Heng’s actions were too familiar. Logically speaking, students did not need to cook in school. So, how could Chu Heng cook? Moreover, his cooking tasted good.

Although Ye Muyu had some doubts, she fully trusted Chu Heng. She thought about it for a while and then stopped thinking. No matter what, she could see that Chu Heng was a good man.

“Mother, when are you going back?” Ye Muyu asked.

“Didn’t the county magistrate say that there are any benefits after the competition?” Old Woman Ye asked. “It would be a loss to go back now.”

“That’s just the Soft Fragrance Cake. I gave it to you last time. It’s nothing special. If you really want to eat it, I’ll make it for you in two days..”
