Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1445: Revised: Chapter 1442 Resentment

Seeing Father’s stern expression, Chu Ziluo guessed that it was related to a major court affair. She sensibly nodded without asking more and understood that what she should do most is to harden her heart and not do anything unnecessary.

For instance, just now, judging by Mother’s reaction, she clearly knew about the situation with the Huo family.

Mother was not surprised at the news of the Huo family’s Young Master being found, indicating that Father and Mother certainly knew more about the situation.

Mother is not someone who would ignore someone in trouble. If she doesn’t take action, there must be a reason. Now that Ms. Huo and the Huo family’s Young Master are fine, it indirectly confirms her guess.

After finishing their meal, they returned to the backyard.

Ye Muyu was walking around the room to aid digestion.

Nuanbao was also full and content, lying on the small bed blowing bubbles.

Chu Heng was handling official duties.

Ye Muyu did not disturb him. After walking to aid digestion, she sat beside and began making small clothes for Nuanbao. Now that she had more time, she slowly learned to do needlework and could even make simple clothes and embroidery.

As the saying goes, having more skills doesn’t burden you. She didn’t resist learning female crafts.

Chu Heng had been busy for more than an hour.

When he looked up, he found that Ye Muyu had already washed up and was leaning against the window, reading a book about shipbuilding.

Chu Heng closed his official matters, got up, took off his coat, went out to have the servants bring water, went to the bathroom, and when he came out, he was still wet.

Ye Muyu heard the noise and waved to him.

“Come here, let me help you dry off.”

Seeing his long hair, Ye Muyu couldn’t help but laugh.

Chu Heng walked over, touched her nose with his hand, and raised an eyebrow, asking, “What’s so funny?”

“I was laughing because I didn’t know men could also be troubled by long hair.” Ye Muyu gently wiped him with a towel and said, “The boys I knew before, when studying, wanted to look handsome and would wash their hair every morning, even more frequently than girls. At that time, I thought if they had long hair and still did this, then they truly loved cleanliness.”

Chu Heng looked at her with his dark eyes, saying nothing.

He simply allowed her to take care of him.

“What’s the matter?” It took Ye Muyu a moment to realize he seemed off. She reached out and poked his shoulder, only to have her finger ache from his iron-hard muscles.

Ye Muyu regretfully withdrew her hand.

Chu Heng caught her fingers, brought them to his lips, and kissed them gently.

Ye Muyu felt a bit embarrassed. “It’s nothing, let me continue to dry your hair.”

But Chu Heng didn’t let go. He leaned against her neck and left a mark, causing Ye Muyu to gasp and ask, “Do you like those men?”

“Huh?” Ye Muyu didn’t understand why he thought of this question. She seriously said, “They were just classmates. The topic was about long hair and cleanliness, and of course, the different choices between men and women. It wasn’t about any specific person.”

Chu Heng gave her a sidelong glance. “Really?”

“Yes.” Ye Muyu nodded and pinched his ear. “That’s how I thought about it in my heart, anyway.”

“Didn’t you say those boys washed their hair frequently to attract girls?” Chu Heng gently countered, “So, you were attracted, and that’s why you had such thoughts.”

“Eh, this…” Ye Muyu found his comment problematic, enough to show the richness of Hua Country’s language. If Chu Heng’s tone was normal, she wouldn’t have overthought it, nor found his words problematic.

But his deep grievance was too obvious for Ye Muyu to ignore, even if she wanted to.
