Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

“Yeah, you see, the world is biased.”

Su Mei quickly nodded. “Madam, you’re right. I won’t judge people based on one-sided words in the future.”

The two young soldiers listened to the whole story. They looked at each other. The soldier who was talking to Ye Muyu coughed lightly and said, “Madam, the princess is not easy to get along with. Be careful.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Madam, the princess has a domineering personality and is doted on by the Old Marquis. Even the general gives her some face.”

Ye Muyu did not mean to speak up for them. They were just soldiers guarding the border. They had not gained a good reputation yet, so she said a few more words. She did not expect to have such a pleasant surprise.

“Thank you for your reminder, soldiers.” She hurriedly returned the greeting.

“It’s freezing. I’ll give you this water bag with hot water.”

Ye Muyu asked Su Mei to fill it with hot water and give it to them. Her water bag was made of high-quality leather, which was very warm.

The two soldiers sniffed and confirmed that it was water, but they did not drink it. They were still instinctively vigilant.

Ye Muyu smiled and took a sip of water in front of them.

She did not say anything more and just waited silently.

After a while, the soldier who had gone to report the news returned and brought Ye Muyu and the others to one of the larger tents.

When she arrived at the door, the tent was opened. She saw Young General Shen, Shen Qin, sitting inside and reading military reports.

Shen Qin heard the sound and looked up. When he saw that it was her, he smiled. “You are indeed Ye Hao’s sister.”

“Please sit.” He raised his hand and said.

Ye Muyu bowed and walked to the chair beside him.

She looked up at him and organized her words, thinking about how to say this.

Shen Qin spoke first. He frowned and hesitated. “To be honest, I know that you came here to ask me to help you ask the princess to sell the medicine.”

“But my relationship with Prince Xiangyang is very bad, and the princess doesn’t get along with me. She has taken everything I liked since I was young, not to mention that the one injured is a subordinate I value. Of course, she wouldn’t give in.”

“I have also gone to ask for help, but I have been rejected.” When Shen Qin said this, his eyes were filled with anger. “I also heard about it. The princess suddenly made a request. She said that she would be willing to take out the medicine as long as she can marry Ye Hao.”

“I had someone inform your family members to come here because I wanted to discuss this matter.”

“I suggest that we agree first and then break off the engagement. However, we can’t bring it up. Instead, we should let Ye Hao do what the princess hates the most after he recovers. By then, the princess herself will not be willing to fulfill her promise. Once this matter is over, we can let Ye Hao marry his wife again.”

As Ye Muyu listened, she felt that it was a little unreliable. Every step had to be correct. If there were a problem, it would only be more troublesome.

Shen Qin seemed to have noticed her hesitation as well. He said helplessly, “I know that you all feel that it doesn’t make sense and that you have let Madam Han down. But now, is there anything more important than his life?”

Ye Muyu was silent. She stood up and bowed. “Your idea is not necessarily impossible. I understand your intentions and understand your difficulties.”

“I’ve already sent someone to send over the medicine, but I’m not sure if it can be delivered within three days. What do you think? Do you think you can trade this medicine with the princess now?” Ye Muyu asked with a bitter smile.
