Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

She had gotten quite a lot of these things and had even specially found a wooden box to store them.

After a busy day…

Halfway through, Han Zhuang returned.

Only then did he help carry the things down the mountain.

Chu Heng and Ye Muyu had just descended the mountain. They were still about ten meters away from the Xiang family’s house when they saw Landlord Wang standing at the door.

Wang Shichu’s face was a little pale, and there was a dark circle under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well last night.

“Why is he here?” Ye Muyu muttered.

Chu Heng ignored Wang Shichu and held Ye Muyu’s hand, completely ignoring the opinions of outsiders. In fact, the villagers were saying that the two of them had a good relationship. However, with the matter of wood ears, they naturally said good things.

Ye Muyu was already used to Chu Heng’s actions of being intimate with her outside, so her skin was already thick enough to not care.

“Something probably happened.” Chu Heng took a look.

“High Scholar Chu, you’re finally back.” As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Wang Shichu greeted them with a smile.

Chu Heng only glanced at him before helping Ye Muyu into the Xiang family courtyard.

Seeing this, Wang Shichu hurriedly followed.

“You’re back?” He was still smiling when he saw Xiang Laoer at the door.

“What are you doing, Landlord Wang?” Xiang Laoer shivered and looked at him with a wary gaze.

“I’m here to talk to High Scholar Chu,” Wang Shichu said with a smile.

Xiang Laoer was not used to how easygoing he was. He felt goosebumps on his arms. “Landlord Wang, your smile is so fake. Are you trying to take revenge on our family again?”

“Sir, you’re too wary of me. Our families can still interact.” Wang Shichu was extremely thick-skinned. He smiled and said, “I’m going to meet High Scholar Chu. You can go ahead. I won’t delay you any longer.”

“Hey, you…”

Before Xiang Laoer could finish speaking, Wang Shichu had already caught up with Chu Heng.

Xian Laoer was worried and quickly chased after him.

Chu Heng and Ye Muyu had just returned to the house when the two of them chased after them.

“Landlord Wang, what’s the matter?” Chu Heng turned around and asked slowly.

Wang Shichu saw that Chu Heng was finally paying attention to him. He quickly said, “High Scholar Chu, I have some private matters to discuss with you. Can we talk in private?”

“No, Cousin Heng, what if Landlord Wang tries to trick us?” Xiang Laoer said worriedly.

Wang Shichu felt a bit of a headache. He was an ordinary person who was unarmed and usually pampered without much fighting power. What threat did he have to Chu Heng?

However, since he was in the Xiang family, he was afraid that he would be too direct and anger the Xiang family, which would anger Chu Heng.

Thus, Wang Shichu was very honest at first.

Ye Muyu could not help but laugh when she saw him like this.

Chu Heng looked at Xiang Laoer. “Second Cousin, you don’t have to worry. I happen to have something to say to him. If you have something to do, go ahead.”

“Then… Alright. If anything happens, just shout. We’ll be outside.” Xiang Laoer trusted Chu Heng, and seeing that he had already said so, he did not stay any longer.

Seeing this, Wang Shichu hurriedly followed Chu Heng into the house.

The door was not closed because the room was too small. Ye Muyu sat by the bed to rest. Chu Heng did not want the room to be too stuffy.

Wang Shichu subconsciously glanced at Ye Muyu, who was still standing there.

“What’s the matter?” Chu Heng saw his expression and said, “Master Wang, you may speak.”

“Ah!” Wang Shichu was surprised. He could tell Ye Muyu’s status, so he stopped struggling. He said, “High Scholar Chu, it’s about Wang Yun. I was indeed tricked by him.”
