Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

“However, after that person came to visit, you and High Scholar Chu went to see the estate. After that, that person waited in the county for half a month, but you didn’t come, so he left.”

“However, he left a keepsake token so you can go to him if you need anything in the future.”

“Keepsake token?” Ye Muyu did not understand. She had not received such news since she came back.

“Go to the storeroom,” Lu Sangqi kindly reminded. “It should be there. The word ‘Lu’ is written on it.”

“That person is also from the Lu family?” Ye Muyu suddenly understood why Lu Sangqi had been talking for so long.

“That’s right. His name is Lu Hongyun and he’s my big brother. He’s quite powerful in the residence now. You just need to get someone to bring the token and ask for the medicine. It should be the fastest way to get the medicine. Don’t blame me for not reminding you,” Lu Sangqi said. “It’s best to deliver the letter to him personally. If you send it directly to the mansion, there’s no guarantee on when you’ll receive a reply.”

“Okay, thank you. I understand.” Ye Muyu knew that he was just reminding her out of kindness, so she would not pretend that she did not remember the incident.

She turned around and went out to ask Butler Luo. Sure enough, he had an impression of the incident.

“Master instructed this old servant to send the things to the storeroom, but I did not pay any more attention to it,” Butler Luo said honestly.

Ye Muyu was speechless. Speaking of which, it was indeed something Chu Heng would do.

After a while, she found the jade pendant in the storeroom. There was indeed the word ‘Lu’ on it.

Ye Muyu went back to the study room and hurriedly wrote a letter. She handed the token and the letter to Butler Luo, instructing him to send someone to deliver it to the Old Master of the Lu family personally. She told him not to trust anyone else. After getting the medicine, she would call the caravan to send the medicine to Luoping Pass.

Butler Luo knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded cautiously. He found the person he trusted the most to deliver the letter.

The weather was still a little col as it was not yet spring.

Ye Muyu had the carriage covered with thick furs and cushions.

The journey was not short and there were hills. The journey was difficult, and the cushions would have a shock-absorbing effect.

There were three carriages in the front. Ye Muyu and Old Woman Ye were in one, Ye Zhao and Ye Dejiang were in the back, and Lu Sangqi was alone. There were some herbs he wanted to bring in the carriage.

There were two mule carts at the back with some personal belongings on them.

Ye Muyu also brought Su Mei along. Han Zhuang was driving the mule cart in front, and the loyal drivers of the Chu family were behind him.

Since it was still early, the group set off from the county town and took the nearest road to Luoping Pass.

In the carriage, Ye Muyu asked Old Madam Ye to sit down and lean on the cushion. “Mother, lie down and rest for a while. The journey will take at least eight to nine days. It will be more comfortable to lie down.”

“Daughter, do you think your brother is okay?”

“Nothing will happen. Mother, don’t worry. Come, have a rest first.”

“You came in a hurry this morning and didn’t eat much. I asked the kitchen to prepare some lunch boxes and rice balls. See what you want to eat.”

Old Madam Ye waved her hand. “I don’t want it. I can’t eat it now.”

“Alright, let me know if you’re hungry.” Ye Muyu did not force her. Old Madam Ye had finally started living a better life. If something happened to her big brother, it would be difficult.

She did not want anything to happen to Ye Hao either. No matter what, he was still her family.

It was cold in winter, and the further north they went, the colder the air became. There was no beautiful scenery, and they did not have a good rest along the way. They were very tired. However, compared to those traveling by foot in the cold winter, Ye Muyu and the others were in a more comfortable situation.
