Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1509: Chapter 1506: Intuition

“Besides, you’ve just returned; you should rest more and be careful not to catch a cold. In a couple of days, you won’t be treated so well.” Ye Muyu snorted softly, almost saying he was overthinking.

After all, she’s used to the tough days in the countryside.

Something as luxurious as heating the floor, Ye Muyu thought it was normal for Chu Heng not to like it. She only needed a fire basin to manage, not that extravagant.

Chu Heng realized she misunderstood as soon as he heard her.

He reached out to grab her hand, but no one saw due to the table blocking the view.

Ye Muyu, whether from his frequent stealthy touches or understanding his fondness for such small gestures, felt a bit helpless and simply went along with him.

“I know, Ah Yu has had a hard time.” Chu Heng said with a fawning smile.

Ye Muyu struggled twice; Chu Heng didn’t want to provoke her anger and didn’t exert too much strength. She broke free and helped him pick up some food. “Eat quickly, don’t delay.”

Who knows how long Chu Heng can rest at home? Now, the court has just stabilized. Although the Liu family’s case has been adjudicated, the Liu family members have not been executed yet, and Duke Zheng is still alive.

Maybe out of instinct, she always felt Duke Zheng wouldn’t be dealt with so easily. If he were, he wouldn’t be Duke Zheng.

She shook her head to dismiss this thought.

Chu Heng placed a piece of rib in her bowl.

“Eat up.”

Ye Muyu chuckled, “Obviously, it’s you who’s had a hard time, yet you still serve me. If outsiders knew, they’d think I was a witch.”

Chu Ziluo lowered her head, suppressing a smile.

She wanted to say mother wasn’t a witch, but everyone outside knew father feared wife.

“You like ribs, eat more,” Chu Heng ignored her. If not for the shadow under his eyes and the mild redness in his star-like eyes from fatigue, who could tell he seemed overworked?

“You eat too.” Ye Muyu also picked dishes he liked.

Who knew, Chu Heng seemed to compete with her; every time she picked a piece, he would pick one and return it.

Ye Muyu was somewhat annoyed, glaring at him with her lively eyes, “If you don’t eat seriously, I’ll…”

“You’ll what?” Chu Heng looked at her lively expression, his mouth slightly smiling, as if his gaze couldn’t bear not to stick to her face without missing a beat.

After separating, he understood the painful taste of longing.

Each time he hallucinated seeing Ah Yu, but upon waking realized it was a dream; this feeling, Chu Heng had experienced many times during those days, tormenting him into sleepless nights.

Seeing anything, he wished desperately to bring it back to her.

Sometimes, a casual remark from a subordinate would lead him to involuntarily wonder what Ah Yu was doing then, whether she thought of him, or was she heartlessly just focusing on caring for Nuanbao, forgetting about him.

This obsessive mindset made Chu Heng both troubled and happy, but eventually relieved.

After things settled, whenever he went somewhere, he had to bring gifts for Ah Yu, making the subordinates and others shake their heads, believing Lord Chu truly lived up to being hen-pecked, remembering to ‘follow the rules’ of buying gifts for his wife even when out.

Of course, these ‘rules’ in their eyes were naturally set by Ye Muyu.

Ye Muyu felt a bit uncomfortable under his fiery and sticky gaze, trying hard to glare at him, “I’ll have you go to the front yard alone every day to take care of Nuanbao!”

This threat was indeed somewhat serious.

Chu Heng certainly wouldn’t accept it, his handsome brows furrowing slightly.
