Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

“Eldest Sister,” Madam Han called out to her.

“What’s wrong? Sister-in-law?” Ye Muyu asked.

“Actually, I know who has the medicine. Yesterday, a girl came to me and said that she had medicine in her hands. She promised to give me the medicine as long as I agreed to have a divorce.” Madam Han hesitated for a moment before saying.

“What is it? Why is it this request?” Ye Zhao was the first to find it baffling. He looked at his sister and then at his sister-in-law. “That woman can’t have taken a fancy to Big Brother, right?”

“That’s right. She said that she had taken a fancy to your big brother. She also said that she had the status of a princess and that I was not worthy of him. As long as my husband marries her, she will take out medicine to save his life.” Madam Han rubbed her eyes. She was both frightened and confused. “Why can’t she sell the medicine to me? I’ll give her money.”

“My husband is still unconscious. How can I make decisions on these matters?”

Ye Muyu felt a headache coming on. Although Madam Han’s reason for not agreeing was a little… strange, it was difficult for the so-called princess to treat human lives as child’s play.

The other party was unwilling to sell the medicine, so they could only say that there was something wrong with her character, but she did not violate the law at all.

At the moment, Ye Muyu’s only thought was to save her brother. She coaxed Madam Han first. “Sister-in-law, take care of my brother first. I’ll think of a way.”

She did not care about Madam Han’s reaction. She said to Ye Zhao, “Take a carriage back to the county now. Ask Han Zhuang to send someone to pick up the medicine on horseback. Tell them not to rest. The medicine must be delivered within two days.”

“Sis, what about you? Stay here?”

“I’ll go and look for Young General Shen. No matter what, Big Brother is still his subordinate. Even if he doesn’t help, he should be willing to give some information.” Ye Muyu thought that it would be faster to find someone to help her than to search around without knowing anything.

“Alright, I’ll come back to pick you up after I inform Han Zhuang.”

“Be careful. If the city gates are closed, come back tomorrow.”

Ye Muyu turned around and found a soldier to explain her request.

“You’re Commandant Ye’s relative?” The young soldier glanced at her and saw that she was not a threat. After seeing that she was just a woman, he called another young soldier over and asked him to report.

Ye Muyu quickly thanked him.

“Madam,” Su Mei, who was beside her, looked at the soldiers around her in fear. “They’re so scary.”

“They’re all soldiers who kill the enemies. Naturally, they have killing intent. Don’t be afraid. They’re human too. They won’t hurt us for no reason.” Ye Muyu’s voice was soft and weak. When she said something nice, it instantly made people believe her.

The two soldiers who were guarding the tent felt inexplicably comfortable when they heard this.

“Look,” Ye Muyu said. “They’re interrogating us, but it’s for everyone’s safety. We’re all mortals. Who can be sure that someone is a good person?”

“Moreover, this is an important place for military affairs. If something happens, many people will be implicated. Even their families will suffer the pain of losing their loved ones.”

“Look, the more dignified they are, the less others dare to act rashly. Not only can this avoid trouble, but it can also intimidate the enemy.”

Su Mei was a little surprised. “Madam, no one has ever told me what you said before. They all say that soldiers are boorish and unreasonable.”

“What if your family members are also soldiers in there?” Ye Muyu asked.

“Of course, they’re definitely not like what others said,” Su Mei shook her head immediately.
