Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2001: Chapter 1998: Examination

Wang Yuanyuan simply dragged Lady Zhou and hurried to the rear kitchen.

“Yuanyuan, just now… was it Lord Chu and Ah Yu?” Lady Zhou belatedly blushed, the intimate action leaving her not only shocked but also a bit… curious.

“Yes.” Wang Yuanyuan didn’t notice her abnormality, mainly because she was used to the affection between the two; seeing Ye Muyu being carried away by Chu Heng was nothing unusual.

Her first reaction was not of surprise, but seeing the expression on Chu Heng’s face, she was somewhat worried that something bad had happened.

Lady Zhou was too embarrassed to pry into other people’s private affairs, but this incident still left a significant impression on her heart.

She suddenly recalled the rumors in the capital.

People said that Lord Chu was under his wife’s control.

Previously, she just thought that Lord Chu was gentle by nature, living in harmony with Madam, treating each other with respect.

She and her husband were like that as well.

But seeing them today, she realized that there might be… a deeper intimacy.

Like, she always thought that emotions between men and women should be restrained, but she didn’t expect such intimate and mutual concern.

She had to admit, seeing this scene, her heart was touched, and she felt inexplicably envious.

When they arrived at the yard of the rear kitchen.

There were still some traces left uncleaned; Wang Yuanyuan just saw Su Mei sitting on a stone bench, a doctor attending to her wounds, and hurriedly asked, “Su Mei, what exactly happened? Is Ah Yu alright?”

“Lady Xie, Lady Zhou, are you both alright over there?” Su Mei quickly stood up, stopping Lu Chuan from approaching.

The incident happened so suddenly before.

She didn’t have time to check on the guests, only thinking that the master had arranged someone to take care of them.

Seeing Wang Yuanyuan come over in person, she was somewhat surprised.

Lu Chuan, holding a bandage, stood in place hesitantly, not stepping forward to interrupt Su Mei, but he was somewhat worried.

Wang Yuanyuan quickly explained hearing noises from the guest room but mentioned no assassins appeared there.

“The lady is fine.”

Lu Chuan just received the news, stepped forward, and lightly smiled to comfort everyone: “The master has already sent someone to handle it, there’s no need for either of you ladies to worry. Later, the master will assign guards in the courtyard to ensure your safety while enjoying the hot springs.”

Lu Chuan remained calm and composed, showing no panic.

The confidence on his face slowly dispelled Wang Yuanyuan’s earlier worries.

The reason was simple, this was Chu Heng’s place.

The first attempt by those assassins failed, but no one was hurt, at least on Chu Heng’s side, and the situation was resolved quickly.

It was enough to see Chu Heng’s capabilities, they must be safe now.

Lady Zhou also relaxed, hearing Ye Muyu was fine, yet still doubted it; however, she refrained from asking further, sensibly staying quiet so as not to trouble the hosts.

Lu Chuan arranged for Wang Yuanyuan and Lady Zhou to be escorted back to their guest room.

Indeed, they saw guards stationed all around on their way.

Evidently, manpower had been increased.

The entire residence wasn’t large, but there was now plenty of personnel.

Meanwhile.

Chu Heng carried Ye Muyu straight into the inner chamber, placing her on the bed; once she was seated, he reached out to roll up her sleeve, checking the injury on her hand from before.

“Does it hurt?” Chu Heng squeezed her arm gently.

It did hurt a bit, though not seriously; it was just a sprain, not affecting the bone, merely a minor injury.

“It doesn’t hurt, I’m really not hurt.”
