Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1735: Chapter 1732: The Assassin

Casually picking up a book, he lightly shook his head: “It’s nothing, I’m not sleepy. I’ll read for a while first.”

“Is there something wrong?” Ye Muyu asked.

“Hmm, there is one thing.” Chu Heng thought for a moment, then decided not to hide it: “I guess the Gao family discovered that we have a better large weaving machine, so they couldn’t stand it and plan to destroy your wood carvings again.”

“Ha, that’s quite bold of them.” Ye Muyu was genuinely infuriated, slamming her palm on the wooden table, but her angry expression was still rather adorable.

Chu Heng immediately reached out to hold her hand and blew on it: “Does it hurt? Silly girl, why are you hitting yourself when you’re angry? Look, your palm is all red.”

Ye Muyu felt a bit embarrassed being taken care of so attentively, with the warm breath tickling her palm, prompting her to want to withdraw her hand.

Chu Heng didn’t let go and gently massaged her hand, applying the right amount of pressure, clearly accustomed to doing such things.

“I was just too anxious and couldn’t control myself, it doesn’t actually hurt.” Ye Muyu quickly said, afraid that he would really worry.

While massaging her hand, Chu Heng told her about the plan.

The Gao family probably succeeded before, so their second move was quick and they weren’t at all worried about being discovered, so bold that the secret guards of the Chu family even suspected whether they were just for show.

Waiting on the rooftop, after a few secret guards fought with the men in black who came, seeing the surprise in the enemy’s eyes, and their attitude of running when discovered, it became clear that the Gao family wasn’t bold, but rather so confident that they didn’t regard the secret guards of the Chu family, turning their boldness into foolishness once the men in black were captured.

Ye Muyu heard the sounds of fighting in the middle of the night, as the woodworking room was very close to where she slept, and she had already anticipated that the people sent by the Gao family would act.

Half-awake upon hearing the noises, she rubbed her eyes, preparing to sit up.

Before she could get up, an arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her into an embrace.

Ye Muyu pressed against his chest with her hand, softly saying: “Ah Heng, I want to go take a look, it must be the people sent by the Gao family.”

“It’s late at night, they’ll handle it in a while. Aren’t you sleepy getting up?” Chu Heng caught her lips and kissed them lightly. What started as a gentle touch grew more passionate, turning into a deep kiss.

When Ye Muyu was released, breathless, her lips glistened with moisture, her body weakened from the kiss, lying on him not wanting to move: “But I’m just curious, I want to take a peek.”

“It seems you still have energy.” Chu Heng’s gaze deepened, the moonlight filtering through the window made Ye Muyu’s heart flutter, instinctively wanting to distance herself.

But such intentions couldn’t escape Chu Heng, who directly pulled her back, greeting her with a wet kiss.

Afterwards, Ye Muyu’s mind was in a haze, unable to hear any sounds of fighting, only feeling her consciousness clouded.

Indeed, the next morning Ye Muyu got up quite late, only rising at the Si hour, by which time Nuanbao had already been playing in the toy room for quite a while.

After getting up and tidying herself, Ye Muyu had Su Mei bring over some buns and porridge. She wasn’t in the mood for strong-flavored dishes, even requesting the buns be replaced with vegetable fillings.

Su Mei stood nearby, discussing matters of the residence with Ye Muyu.

“Lady, can the roof tile repairs be scheduled for this afternoon?” Su Mei inquired.

Ye Muyu wasn’t the only one who heard the noises on the roof yesterday.
