Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1477: Chapter 1474: Methodology

“Young master, this servant will go now.”

Ru Mo was even more alarmed. Ever since he met Miss Huo, the young master had done an unusual number of unexpected things. Could it be that the young master was truly deeply in love with Miss Huo?

His heart was in turmoil, not knowing whether to remind the young master.

He decided not to bring up the Liu family’s matter.

Even though Qi Yao had been admonished by King Qi, she didn’t take it to heart. She believed Liu Zhe was indeed outstanding and the most suitable choice she could find at present.

Not only that, but she was pleased to use this opportunity to get acquainted with her cousin, King Qi.

Although she had no right to marry into King Qi’s mansion, she wanted to interact with King Qi more. Building a good relationship with him would only make her life in the residence better.

Thus, she deliberately arranged for someone to keep an eye on the Huo family.

As for the Huo family, ever since the banquet, Huo Hongyan had directly announced that she would be copying scriptures in the Buddha Hall at home, praying for her deceased father and grandfather.

This news spread quickly to both the Qi family and the Liu family.

Upon hearing the news, Liu Zhe was momentarily stunned. After sitting in silence for a while, he regained his composure and approved of her decision as it would also protect her.

He then instructed Ru Mo to have this news discreetly conveyed to Madam Liu.

Upon learning the news, Madam Liu’s initial discomfort regarding Huo Hongyan entirely dissipated, leaving her with a sense of guilt.

Meanwhile, Qi Yao, upon hearing the news, jumped up in joy and rushed to her wardrobe, eagerly choosing clothes.

The maidservants followed her around.

The head maid helped her fetch the clothes. “Miss, are you getting ready to go out?”

“No, I need to pick out a beautiful outfit for the autumn outing in two days.” Qi Yao was overjoyed, but as she pulled out all the clothes, she grew unhappy, frowning, “I don’t have any suitable clothes; these are all old.”

The head maid looked at the newly made autumn clothes, just completed half a year ago, but said nothing.

Qi Yao wasn’t seeking their opinions anyway. She merely spoke offhandedly and then turned to find her Aunty, expressing her wish to buy new clothes.

That evening, her Aunty found an opportunity to see Minister Qi and whispered in his ear. The next day, Qi Yao happily went out to the capital’s famous shops to buy clothes.

Ye Muyu received Chu Heng’s letter half a month after he had left.

Out of concern, she had always had the Scout Team’s men keep an eye on the envoy group, prepared to respond immediately to any sudden occurrences.

Especially since having the Scout Team deliver messages was safer than Chu Heng sending letters from the yamen’s post station.

After reading the letter’s contents,

Ye Muyu’s eyes widened in shock.

Upon confirming that she had read every word, she was slightly prepared but still stunned by the news.

After reading the letter, she unhesitatingly burned all the envelopes, leaving no paper evidence behind.

She quickly called Su Mei in, remaining as calm as ever and quietly instructing her, “Su Mei, go fetch more grains from the manor, enough for a month. Also, the new servants I asked you to arrange for the residence, have you done that?”

Su Mei nodded respectfully, “Yes, it’s all arranged as you instructed. The young miss and the young master each have new servants assigned to them.”

“Good, make sure to instruct the household staff not to leave unless necessary, be strict with the rules, and require that all actions of the servants within the residence are documented.”

“Understood, this servant will get to it immediately.”
