Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1473: After the revision: Chapter 1470 The Qi family’s 4th young miss Qi Yao

“Madam, I’ve been holding back as you instructed, but there’s more and more good stuff, and I dream every night that I’m lying in mountains of gold and silver. It’s too hard to resist.”

“You’ve done well. I’ll reward you with an extra lamb rib for dinner,” Ye Muyu encouraged.

Chun Xing swallowed her saliva, unable to contain her happiness: “Thank you, Madam. I will continue to work hard.”

As she spoke, Nuanbao stared at his mother with wide eyes, confirmed he was cleaned up and placed on the small bed, then, unable to resist sleepiness, blew a tiny bubble from his mouth and fell asleep.

Ye Muyu saw this and bent down to kiss Nuanbao on his cheek, rewarding his obedience.

Perhaps due to his reserved nature, even when Xi Bao grew up, he never worried Ye Muyu.

Speaking of which.

Ye Muyu’s plan to host a banquet for her son’s hundred-day celebration still spread out, only because many people were watching the Chu family. However, most officials had already accepted the fact that the Chu family was always low-key.

Even many noble ladies thought that Ye Muyu herself didn’t like attending banquets, and accordingly, Chu Ziluo also attended very few. She was famously the hardest guest to invite.

However, due to Chu Heng’s favor, Ye Muyu only attended banquets related to the Royal Family. Many ladies were displeased, but they didn’t dare to do anything, though they couldn’t help but tarnish Ye Muyu’s reputation behind her back, saying she fawned over the powerful.

As for who believed it, it varied from person to person.

When Ye Muyu heard of this rumor, she was amused and directly asked the Scout Team, learning that the news initially came from the Qi Family Mansion. She couldn’t help but sneer, mocking the Qi family for not recognizing their own situation.

“Madam, I’ve inquired about it thoroughly. It’s heard that Fourth Miss Qi had an interest in Young Master Liu. The elders of the Qi and Liu families had contact, but the Liu family hadn’t responded. Coincidentally, Fourth Miss Qi heard rumors between Young Master Liu and Miss Huo, and wanting to counter Miss Huo, she knew of your close relationship with Miss Huo. Out of jealousy, she spoke those words at the banquet.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu was indifferent. She believed it was more of a test than a jealous slip of the tongue. She guessed that several families were secretly watching her reaction.

Ye Muyu instructed, “Just act like we don’t know about this rumor and ignore it.”

Fawning over the powerful? Following the trend?

Regardless of which it was, these people only dared to speak behind her back. No one dared to mention this in front of her truthfully. If she really paid attention to it, she would fall into their trap.

To remain unchanged through responding to changes, Ye Muyu always found those rumors inconsequential, naturally not bothering to take them to heart.

Moreover, even if Ah Heng wasn’t meticulous in thought, she knew that their family’s greatest support now was Emperor Xuanming. The less they interacted with court officials, the safer the Chu family would be.

Su Mei nodded, indicating she understood.

Ye Muyu propped her chin with one hand, while her other slender fingertip drew circles in front of Nuanbao, causing the little boy to reach out instinctively to grab her finger, wanting to suck on it.

“By the way, how’s Third Miss Qi of the Qi Family doing?”

Since last year when Qi Rong and Huo Kewen both fell into the ice pool, though they were saved, their bodies were damaged. Huo Kewen now lives harmoniously with Luo Ting, and they are a loving couple.

Qi Rong, however, only made a scene afterward and then disappeared.

If not for the emergence of Fourth Miss Qi now, she would have almost forgotten about Qi Rong’s life-and-death rivalry with Miss Liu.
