Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1507: Chapter 1504 Watching the Show

“I’m a bit tired, can’t lift my hands.” Chu Heng showed a vulnerable expression, looking utterly exhausted, with his words carrying a hidden meaning.

Ye Muyu was shocked by his thick-skinned behavior, widened her eyes, and couldn’t help but touch his forehead, incredulously saying, “No fever, why are you talking nonsense?”

Chu Heng, who found an opportunity to get close to his wife: “…”

Chu Heng was somewhat frustrated, but didn’t mention it.

He wasn’t deliberately difficult with Ye Muyu, so he soon sat properly beside her and slowly started sipping the soup.

The soup was very fresh, with tofu skin, mushrooms, and vermicelli in it.

“When did you come back?” Ye Muyu’s face was no longer red. Seeing Chu Heng holding the bowl steadily, not at all seeming genuinely weak, the guilt in her heart lessened a bit. She feared that Chu Heng was truly uncomfortable, and she had refused him…

Thinking of this, she couldn’t bear it any longer.

“Well, I missed you and the kids, so I came straight home.” Chu Heng raised his eyes to look at her, his face calm, and if it weren’t for his little gestures, one might think he was so strict.

Ye Muyu felt a slight warmth in her heart, not doubting anything, “Then if you don’t have to go to the palace later, have a good rest.”

“By the way, were you hurt on this trip?”

As she spoke, her eyes scanned him from head to toe, wanting to see clearly.

Chu Heng finished the soup in one gulp, straightened his clothes, patted his sleeves, and said, “No, it’s just that my clothes are a bit dirty from eating on the road and sleeping rough, but being able to come back early to see you all makes it worth it.”

Ye Muyu immediately felt distressed. From the Northern Region to the capital, traveling by carriage takes at least two months, and Chu Heng returned in no more than half a month, which could only be achieved by riding fast horses. Moreover, there might be people setting hurdles for him along the way.

“Fill your stomach first, then go rest and bathe. I’ll prepare some food for you.”

Chu Heng reached out and held her hand, interlocking their fingers, looking at her with intense eyes: “I don’t remember where the clothes are at home, Ah Yu, could you help me find them?”

As he said this, he got up, leading Ye Muyu outside, not forgetting to instruct the kitchen to bring hot water over. He personally received the cloak from Chun Xing’s hands and draped it over Ye Muyu.

Su Mei was very perceptive, “My lady, servant girl will take good care of the Young Master.”

After being pulled out the door and walking side by side to the backyard, Ye Muyu finally reacted, recalling the teasing looks from the servants in the kitchen just now. She reached out to smack his shoulder.

“It’s all your fault, who knows how the servants will make fun of me now.”

Chu Heng gripped her hand slightly tighter, making her fall into his arms, holding her tightly, with his neck buried beside her ear. When speaking, his warm breath surged towards her ear.

Ye Muyu only felt her whole body becoming hot and a little uncomfortable.

“They wouldn’t dare.” Chu Heng’s voice was muffled, and seeing her subtle movements, he hugged her even tighter, his voice carrying a hint of pleading: “Ah Yu, let me hold you, don’t move.”

Ye Muyu could never resist him like this. Clearly, Chu Heng was an imposing Lord Chu outside, yet in front of her, he showed weakness and was adept at acting spoiled, making her both laugh and cry.

She felt very warm all over and didn’t push him away. After all, the servants had probably seen this countless times. Haven’t the subordinates following him been perceptively standing a short distance away with their backs turned? It shows they understand their Lord’s personality enough to give him face and not watch the spectacle openly.
