Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1253: Chapter 1250: Seeing Off Chapter 1253: Chapter 1250: Seeing Off With the Qi family returning food and provisions, Chief of Staff Qi retroflected on his lack of guidance in raising his son for three months, while Second Master Zhao Mingyuan and his direct male descendants were demoted to commoners and exiled to the border region as a conclusion.

Ye Muyu silently listened to this news and sighed lightly, the second household of the Zhao family had been demoted, but the third household had not been implicated, which was already the best outcome.

Yet, the Zhao family no longer held any power in the Capital, and within the clan, not a single man held an official position, probably unable to stay in the capital any longer, especially since the Qi family still resided there, and Imperial Concubine Qi Zhao Yi had been released from house arrest.

However, now the Qi family at least had the Third Prince with them.

Keeping a low profile for survival should hardly be an issue.

After all, a family in a worse situation than that of the Qi’s was Empress Lin’s Lin family.

Ye Muyu had the servants send over a healing diet and some recipes to the Zhao family, even more than she had provided before.

Although she didn’t know why, but the outcome for the Zhao family was definitely due to Emperor Xuanming being lenient, merely the deeds of Second Master Zhao alone were sufficient for decapitation and implicating his entire clan, now exiled, was already the best outcome.

Possibly, this involved Elder Master Zhao pleading guilt in the palace.

“Don’t worry, leaving might not necessarily be a bad thing,” Chu Heng saw her concern and gently pinched her hand.

As Ye Muyu shook her head, she subtly shifted the gauze from her stomach, “I’m just heartbroken for Qingqing, she’s a good girl, even if she returns to Yuzhou, it’d probably be difficult for her to find a family.”

“With you as her good sister, her husband’s family wouldn’t dare to bully her,” Chu Heng said outright, also to reassure Ah Yu, he surreptitiously replaced the gauze over her abdomen.

Ye Muyu was consoled and smiled, “That’s true.”

“My husband is now the favorite of the Emperor,” Ye Muyu held his face and playfully teased.

Chu Heng smiled with his eyes and watched her intently.

It wasn’t long before Ye Muyu’s cheeks became hot, and she couldn’t help but avert her gaze.

The result was naturally that the jesting backfired, and she was held and playfully tormented for quite a while.

Fifteen minutes later.

Chu Heng sat up straight and continued reading from The Analects.

Laudably, he said it was for the child in her belly to listen.

Chu Heng rested for three days and then cared for Ye Muyu at home for three days, during which her appetite indeed improved slightly compared to before.

When he could no longer stay at home, he started his daily duties at the yamen, and yet he did not forget to come home every noon, immediately returning home after the evening register without any social engagements.

This further confirmed the rumors of his being henpecked.

In men’s ears, it was henpecked, but in the hearts of the wives of the inner residence, he was a good man; reportedly, before the Emperor, Lord Chu had refused to take concubines or accept rewarded beauties.

And the Emperor even agreed.

This news spread into the ears of various ladies, inciting envy, jealousy, and resentment towards Ye Muyu.

Meanwhile.

Tormented by morning sickness to thinness, Ye Muyu, after applying peppermint oil behind her ears, dressed in a blue silk satin robe, preparing to depart with Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen to the Zhao family to see them off.

“Ah Yu, are you feeling okay?” Madam Liu asked with concern.

Ye Muyu smiled lightly, “Mother, I’m fine, now the doctor says my body doesn’t have any major problems; once the morning sickness period is over, I’ll slowly regain my strength.”

“Going out for a walk now is also a good thing.”

Although Madam Liu agreed, she stayed close by her side after they left the house.

Ye Muyu knew she cared and naturally did not refuse.

Now the two elders often roamed the Capital and understood many things.

As the carriage approached the Zhao family’s residence.

Madam Liu lifted the curtain.
