Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2537: Chapter 2534: Chu Ziluo Is Pregnant

“Unless there’s someone who gains absolutely nothing from this reform, they wouldn’t fight desperately, and I’ve got people watching over those individuals.”

“Of course, Lil’ Jin also has quite a bit of trouble to deal with on his own. It remains to be seen how he handles it, but it’s a good opportunity for him to practice.”

Seeing that Chu Heng had made many arrangements, Ye Muyu decided not to do anything further.

She only instructed Su Mei to tell Zhu San’s people to enhance Chu Jin’s safety.

Compared to them, Zhu San and his group understood the city’s streets better.

“Let’s go, let’s enter the mountain first.”

The three of them walked toward the mountain.

The path leading to the back mountain was lined with wide stone steps, and occasionally guests would pass by.

Tall ginkgo trees were planted on both sides. It was midsummer; when the cool wind blew, the leaves rustled, some already starting to turn yellow.

The temple on the back mountain wasn’t at the peak.

As the three walked up, they encountered many acquaintances.

Seeing that Chu Heng and Ye Muyu were there to offer incense, these officials did not come over to greet them.

Chu Heng, holding Nuanbao, entered the main hall, offered incense first, and then went to the adjacent fortune-telling hall to request two divinations.

Both were extremely auspicious signs.

Ye Muyu asked Chu Heng, “What did you wish for?”

“What Ah Yu wishes for is naturally what I wish for,” Chu Heng replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Ye Muyu raised her eyebrows but did not press further, feeling content in her heart.

They left the Buddha Hall.

Ye Muyu was then escorted by Lady Su and others to have tea.

Meanwhile, Chu Heng, carrying Nuanbao, went to another guest room.

Ye Muyu spent the afternoon listening to music; as dusk approached,

Su Mei approached and whispered, “Madam, the young miss is also here.”

“Chu Ziluo?” Ye Muyu asked quietly, “What about Lord Rong?”

“The Prince brought the young miss to the mountain and is now meeting with the master; he estimates he will leave tonight.”

“Hmm, got it.” Ye Muyu asked her to inform Chu Ziluo, and on her end, she found a reason to stand up, excused herself from the ladies, and left.

Chu Ziluo did not meet many people as it was already late in the day.

She only stayed in the guest room.

When Ye Muyu arrived, Chu Ziluo was talking to Nuanbao.

“Why are you coming so late?” Ye Muyu asked casually, “You haven’t had dinner, have you? It’s getting late, we should also have dinner and try the vegetarian dishes.”

“Mother, I wanted to consult Doctor Lu about something, and once I heard you were coming to the stables, I decided to come along to relax.”

“Why?” Ye Muyu’s first instinct was that Chu Ziluo might have a health issue.

But upon closer inspection, Chu Ziluo looked healthy, her complexion was rosy, unlike someone who was unwell.

Chu Ziluo smiled slightly, “I’m just not entirely sure.”

“Are you expecting?” Ye Muyu, seeing her demeanor, asked curiously.

“Yes, it’s still early, and the Prince suggested not announcing it to avoid any bumps at the Prince’s Mansion, so I came to the stables to unwind.”

Nowadays, many scholars and merchants travel in and around the capital, and the stables are bustling with activity.

Moreover, with more people, there are more attempts to send people to Prince Rong’s Mansion.

“You must be extra careful; the pregnancy is still in its delicate stage,” Ye Muyu frowned, her expression was not pleasant.

“Mother, what’s wrong? Aren’t you happy?” Seeing her mother’s unhappy expression, Chu Ziluo felt a little puzzled. She didn’t feel wronged, knowing her mother wouldn’t react this way without reason.

Ye Muyu sighed, “I’m just worried about you. You’re only sixteen and having a child isn’t good for your health.”

“Mother…” Chu Ziluo hadn’t expected this reason. Her heart felt warm, and she stepped forward to hug her mother’s shoulder, “Mother, don’t worry, I’m taking good care of my health, and the doctor said it’s okay to have children. If I didn’t have a child for a long time, you’d be even more concerned.”
