Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1996: Chapter 1993: Hot Spring

Chu Heng made the arrangements and saw Ye Muyu chatting with Wang Yuanyuan and Lady Zhou.

Being a man, it wasn’t convenient for him to join the female family members. He hesitated for a moment and still decided to tell Ye Muyu that he would go to the house first to clean the hot spring pool, so that when Ah Yu and the others came back, they could enjoy a comfortable soak.

Chu Heng’s idea was indeed good.

The Manor’s hot spring had just been developed, but a few months ago, someone had been sent to manage it, and it was actually not very large.

There were only four hot spring pools.

Of course, officially there were three; two of the pools were not small and could accommodate a dozen people.

Designated for men and women, the two smaller pools were initially intended by Ye Muyu to be reserved for female family members, and the larger pool was designated for male guests.

The two sides were completely separate, making it more convenient.

Furthermore, there was actually a small pool connected to an inner room.

That was exclusively for the family, not for guests.

Chu Heng was very satisfied with this arrangement, especially the private small pool. Although it was a bit smaller, he did not mind the size as long as there were no outsiders.

Chu Heng, along with the Steward and the servants of the house, cleaned the hot spring pools anew.

Since it was a flowing hot spring, it was cleaner.

He arranged for the servants to prepare the guest rooms.

Chu Heng first went to his room to bathe, changed into casual clothes, and then sat in the living room. The hot spring pool was behind him as he sat cross-legged at a table reading a book, while also organizing his administrative work.

Meanwhile.

Ye Muyu couldn’t stand the heat for long and didn’t linger outside.

She directly led everyone back.

Lady Zhou and Wang Yuanyuan, accompanied by their household servants, went to the guest rooms arranged by Ye Muyu.

Chu Ziluo was responsible for making arrangements.

She originally planned to take Nuanbao to find Chu Heng.

However, the Young Master Xie was keeping Nuanbao busy.

In fact, it wasn’t so much keeping Nuanbao busy as it was being engrossed with Nuanbao’s various toys.

After all, Nuanbao had been familiar with picture and word cards since childhood, with illustrations designed by professional artists at Ye Muyu’s request, which were very enticing for young children.

Chun Xing was left behind to take care of Nuanbao.

Ye Muyu had to go find Chu Heng by herself.

“How is it? The hot spring is nice, isn’t it?” Ye Muyu walked in with a smile, wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.

Even though she had long removed the splint and her hand was mostly healed, she still couldn’t exert much pressure.

Seeing her reaching for the teapot, Chu Heng immediately took it and poured her a cup of tea, “Fun, isn’t it?”

“The Manor is quite interesting; I’ve had some sugar cane planted along with other fruit trees. The harvest looks satisfactory, though they’re not fully ripe yet.”

The fruit trees mature from June to September.

It’s only July now, so only cherries and plums can barely be eaten.

Fruits like grapes, apples, pears, and oranges will need another month or two.

However, Ye Muyu was pleased that watermelons were already edible.

Actually, growing watermelons in the capital was quite feasible.

No other fruit could compare to watermelon in popularity during summer.

Moments ago, she had been guided by the Manor’s people to pick a few fresh watermelons.

“But it’s too hot; it’s still more comfortable indoors.” Ye Muyu contentedly sipped her tea and said, smiling.

Chu Heng grinned slightly, “Shall we have lunch first, rest afterwards, and then soak? Or soak first and then have lunch?”

It was nearly before noon by this time.
