Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2539: Chapter 2536: Secretly Doing It

“I’ll arrange someone to handle it,” Chu Heng said.

“Aren’t you afraid the whole Chu family will stink?” Ye Muyu couldn’t help but laugh at her own words.

“I’ll kiss you after eating stinky tofu,” Ye Muyu said deliberately.

“It’s fine, I won’t mind,” Chu Heng responded effortlessly with sweet talk.

Ye Muyu was so amused that she couldn’t help but laugh.

After dinner.

Ye Muyu instructed Chu Ziluo to rest in the guest room, suggesting she wait until the next morning to visit Lu Sangqi. It was too dark out, and Ye Muyu wasn’t comfortable with her going out. She decided not to head out either, figuring she’d have plenty of time to explore and enjoy the bustle on another night.

Ye Muyu strolled in the courtyard for a while before going to bathe and freshen up.

Chu Heng took Nuanbao with him for some exercise.

Ye Muyu took off her clothes and looked at the scratch marks on her legs, rubbing them gently. She quickly finished her bath, applied some ointment, but still felt a stinging pain, and her legs felt a bit sore.

Horse riding definitely isn’t something you can enjoy without consequence, there are repercussions to bear afterward.

Ye Muyu changed into more comfortable pants and didn’t plan to go far, heading directly inside.

Just as she walked in, she heard Chu Heng’s footsteps approaching.

“Got rubbed raw?” Chu Heng guessed from the way she walked.

Ye Muyu felt a bit awkward: “Hmm, where’s Nuanbao?”

“Not training anymore; he has a few maidservants and servant boys to take care of him. I’m here to apply the ointment on your leg,” Chu Heng said as he headed to the bathroom, and soon the sound of water could be heard.

The words of refusal that Ye Muyu was about to say still lingered unsaid in her mouth.

Feeling a bit flustered, she paced back and forth but hadn’t yet come up with a countermeasure when the water stopped in the adjacent room.

Sure enough, in the next moment, she heard footsteps.

Chu Heng pulled aside the curtain and strode over from behind the screen, wearing only simple undergarments, his hair still damp.

“It doesn’t really hurt that much now,” Ye Muyu said, unable to help but step back a few steps as he approached.

“If we don’t apply it tonight, you’ll be sore walking tomorrow,” Chu Heng said with a look that said she shouldn’t be stubborn, as he reached out and gently touched Ye Muyu’s head.

Ye Muyu’s face was full of hesitation.

Chu Heng had already picked her up and placed her on the bed, his large hand starting to massage her leg.

It seemed like he could accurately locate the spots where she was hurt, kneading her muscles without touching the wound.

Ye Muyu gasped from the pressure on her back.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch…” Ye Muyu couldn’t help but whine, “Riding is comfortable, but the aftermath is terrible.”

“It won’t be a problem if you ride more often.”

“No, tomorrow I’m going to sew a cushion, put it between my legs so I won’t get rubbed raw.”

Chu Heng had no objections, never stopping her from these trivial pursuits.

After the massage, Ye Muyu soon drifted off to sleep.

Chu Heng, however, went outside, met with a few people, gave them some instructions, and only then returned to the room, pulling her into his embrace. The night quickly passed.

Early in the morning.

Chu Heng took Nuanbao out to practice swordplay for exercise.

Ye Muyu woke up not feeling too sore, got dressed, and went out.

“You’re up?” Chu Heng stopped and had Lu Chuan look after Nuanbao.

He walked over to Ye Muyu and said, “Last night, I had someone check everything, and we didn’t find anything suspicious. Do you want to open a shop?”

“What kind of shop?”

“A stinky tofu shop,” Chu Heng said with a straight face.

Ye Muyu couldn’t help but laugh: “Aren’t you afraid if word gets out, people will make fun of you?”
