Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

“I feel that we should find a fault and chase Liu Lu away. There’s no need to expose her. The Yu family probably won’t care about a girl now. Her future will depend on herself.” Tang Dongfeng tried his best to choose one that would cause the least damage to the shop and gave Liu Lu a way out.

“Then let’s do it.” This person could not be kept to avoid being slandered by the Yu family. Naturally, there was no need to take her life. If the other party were smart and left quietly, there would naturally be no loss.

“Did you use special marks to promote our cosmetics?” Ye Muyu asked.

“Every time I sell a whole set of cream, I remind the customers to look at the markings. Now, there are basically no imitations in Nanchang County.”

“Alright, then you can go back to your work.”

Tang Dongfeng left.

Chu Heng finished training his swordsmanship. He carried the sword and went back to his room to wash up.

After he was done cleaning up, he put on a black robe and sat down. He took a sip of tea and asked, “What is he doing here?”

“He was here to tell me about the Yu family’s actions.” Ye Muyu told him about the Yu family’s behavior.

When Chu Heng heard this, he did not stop drinking his tea. “Generally, the rouge and cosmetic powder in the palace needs to be registered and checked by the imperial physician before it can be used.”

“However, now that the imperial consort is favored, she has a flamboyant personality and likes to provoke the empress of the Middle Palace by breaking the rules. Moreover, the cosmetics were sent by her own family, so I’m afraid she won’t let the imperial doctor examine it.”

“With the standard of ordinary doctors outside the palace, they won’t find anything strange.”

“So…” Chu Heng did not need to say anything else.

This time, the Yu family had gone overboard, and it was likely that the entire family would lose their lives.

Originally, Chu Heng and the Du family’s father and son had already found some evidence of the Yu family. They wanted to wait until the time was right to expose the Yu family.

However, there was no need for him to do it himself. The Yu family had courted death.

“The Yu family is too greedy.” Ye Muyu frowned slightly.

“Ah Yu, let’s go eat breakfast.” Chu Heng stood up and reached out to hold her hand.

Ye Muyu’s face was slightly red, but her hand was tightly held by Chu Heng. All the servants in the Chu family residence lowered their heads when they saw Madam and Master holding hands.

This was the norm in the Chu residence. Chu Heng was like a slave to his wife. This was something that the entire family knew.

As a result, while Ye Muyu usually spoke gently, the servants did not dare to have any bad intentions toward her.

The truth was that Chu Heng was only gentle in front of Ye Muyu, but he was ruthless to them.

Gradually, the servants in the Chu residence knew that if they served Ye Muyu well, they would have a good life. Even if they made a mistake in front of Chu Heng, as long as Ye Muyu pleaded for mercy, they would have a chance to be punished lightly.

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the first lunar month.

The weather in the morning was not bad.

Ye Muyu brought the two children and personally sent Chu Heng to the carriage at the gate.

There were two more carriages of luggage behind the carriage.

Lu Chuan was the only one who was with Chu Heng this time.

The matter of Luoyun County needed the Luo family’s Eldest Young Master to make a follow-up effort. Lu Chuan had also been transferred back and no longer needed to be a spy.

“Ah Yu.” Chu Heng stood in front of the carriage and waved at her.

Ye Muyu lifted the hem of her dress and walked over. The man hugged her tightly.

Feeling the warmth of the man’s chest, Ye Muyu’s eyes turned red. She was reluctant to part with him. She reached out and patted his shoulder. “You have to take care of yourself on the way. The exams are secondary. Do your best. The children and I will wait for you here.”
