Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Li Ruyi stood up and walked to the chair in the room to sit down. She looked at Ye Muyu curiously. “You seem to be from a small family. How are you so bold? Aren’t you afraid of me?”

“I didn’t do anything wrong to the princess, so there’s nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, if the princess can look better, my business will be even better.”

“You’re actually so greedy for money.” Li Ruyi’s expression changed and she snorted coldly.

Ye Muyu did not mind her change of attitude. “I just like the things I make. They can be useful. If I earn money, I can also exchange it for a better life.”

“But you’re just an ordinary farmer. It’s useless even if Ye Hao is a commandant. In the military camp, he’s just a seventh-grade official. People in your countryside might be afraid of him, but in front of me, he’s nothing. The money he earns will only be taken away by others.” Li Ruyi raised her head confidently as she spoke.

“You have a point, Princess.” Ye Muyu nodded.

“Then why are you still trying to earn money?”

“There is nothing much to do now, so I will naturally continue to earn money. If I have some money, I might be able to solve some problems in the future.”

“Actually, I didn’t think too far ahead.”

“Ha, but now, your family has indeed offended this princess.”

“I like you. Tell me, how can I make Ye Hao divorce his wife and marry me?”

Ye Muyu looked up at her and asked in surprise, “Princess, can you tell me why I want to marry my brother?”

“Eldest Brother is not a person who would pamper his wife.”

“Li Qian, get out.” Li Ruyi suddenly shouted to chase him away.

Li Qian also left without saying a word.

Ye Muyu’s breathing became lighter subconsciously. As expected, Li Ruyi soon chased everyone out of the room, leaving Ye Muyu alone.

Li Ruyi circled around her and suddenly sniffed. “What’s the scent on your body? Why is it so fragrant?”

“Princess, do you like it?” Ye Muyu did not know why she was talking about body fragrance, but she still explained obediently. “This is a kind of bath bean made from flowers.”

“Can bath beans be so useful?” Li Ruyi curiously leaned closer to her and sniffed again.

Although Ye Muyu was not used to it, she still held it in. “Yes, because I use it every day, the fragrance will stay for a long time. I will be stained with the same fragrance in the long term.”

“If you feel that the fragrance doesn’t stay on long enough, you can also put a fragrance sachet on your body or spray some fragrant juice.”

The more Li Ruyi listened, the more curious she became. “Alright, I’ll bathe now. Let me try your bathing beans.”

Ye Muyu said helplessly, “Princess, I don’t carry these things with me. They’re all in the luggage in the courtyard.”

“That’s easy. I’ll send someone to get it.”

Ye Muyu had no reason to refuse, so she called Su Mei to accompany the servant girls of the Marquis’ residence back to get the bath beans.

Ye Muyu was called into the bathroom by Li Ruyi.

“It’s not like I can’t answer the question you asked me just now,” Li Ruyi said.

Ye Muyu’s eyes lit up. “Princess, please speak.” She looked up at her.

“Are you sure you want to listen? If you tell this secret, you might die. After all, only the dead can keep secrets.”

When Ye Muyu heard this, she was instantly conflicted. She did not like to hear gossip from others, especially when it involved such a big secret. However, if she did not ask clearly, she would not be able to get the medicinal herbs from Li Ruyi.
