Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2146: Chapter 2143: Jam

But it cannot be denied, the Emperor is indeed a leader who loves talent; while promoting children from families who are not officials, he also seeks talents, naturally benefiting the country and its people, which Elder Zhong naturally approves of, and will not hold back.”

“As for now, fully entrusting me with the official newspaper, I guess he also wants to see what kind of newspaper I can produce.”

“That Elder Zhong is truly a great scholar, not jealous of your talents, straightforwardly using you, which makes him far more insightful than most officials.” Ye Muyu was very pleased that Chu Heng was praised, in her view, her husband was indeed a remarkable talent.

Not to mention how he could take the simple things she mentioned, infer other concepts and slowly apply them to this world; within this lies his boldness and absolutely extraordinary planning ability.

Previously, he was always hindered in court, thwarted by those selfish officials; now, with a change of elder willing to support Chu Heng, isn’t it just a sign of insight?

Chu Heng reached out to wrap her waist, pulling her into his embrace, his fingers gently caressing her rosy lips, his eyes deepening, “Ah Yu, what did you just call me?”

“Um, did I call you something?” Ye Muyu feigned innocence, blinking her watery eyes, making one wish to tease her twice more.

Ye Muyu could naturally see Chu Heng’s affection, she merely smiled and pretended to do so.

Chu Heng helplessly covered her eyes, bending down to plant a light kiss on her lips, his voice magnetic, “Are you doing this on purpose? Hmm? Intentionally tempting me, don’t want to sleep tonight, do you?”

“Don’t accuse me wrongly, I didn’t do anything.” Ye Muyu firmly denied.

Then she was pushed against the wall, thoroughly teased.

It wasn’t until her lips were swollen and the soft flesh tingled that she was released.

“Um, truly sweet.” Chu Heng hugged the limp Ye Muyu and headed inside.

Ye Muyu leaned against him, her flushed ears revealing her true emotions, and hearing his teasing words, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “Just happened to eat a jam-filled mooncake, so it’s sweet.”

“Hmm? Really? I didn’t taste what flavor it was earlier, I’ll…” Chu Heng said, going to tease her again.

Ye Muyu quickly held his head and pushed him away, pleading, “No need to try, it’s orange-flavored jam.”

“Come, have a taste.” Saying so, she shoved a small mooncake into Chu Heng’s mouth.

Though Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, there were many mooncakes made at home, and those that weren’t finished were taken to the shop for sale; the remaining ones were gifts from other families, already distributed among the servants, but there were still plenty left at home due to the few residents.

Ye Muyu was reluctant to waste them, and since they tasted quite good, she ate them daily as pastries.

“How is it, delicious?” Ye Muyu asked expectantly.

Chu Heng swallowed the small mooncake in one bite, rubbed her head, and sat down, “This flavor seems familiar, did it come from the bakery?”

“No, it’s from Young Master Xie’s family, don’t you remember the bakery Xie Yu opened? I mentioned it twice, Madam Xie instructed the pastry chefs in the shop to do some research. Yesterday, the shop’s business was booming, although our shop’s business wasn’t bad either, I had already given the mooncake designs to the pastry chefs in our shop.”

“Still, the ones made by lady are the best.” Chu Heng listened and raised his eyebrows, smiling as he spoke.

Ye Muyu raised her eyebrows, “You’re not just flattering me, are you?”
