Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2006: Chapter 2003: Experience

Ye Muyu changed clothes in the washroom. Since Nuanbao was young and it wasn’t possible to let the maidservants come down to the hot spring, she had to watch over the child herself.

She carried Nuanbao, who was also changed, to the side of the pool.

Ye Muyu directly lifted her foot and walked down.

The warm water touched her skin, making Ye Muyu feel a surge of heat rising all over her body. Although it was a bit hot, it was very comfortable and relaxing.

It was Nuanbao’s first time in a hot spring pool.

Playing with the water, he was somewhat curious, bobbing up and down in the water.

Ye Muyu just needed to hold his waist.

Although Chun Xing couldn’t get into the water, she stayed dutifully, changed into clean shoes, and assisted Ye Muyu by holding Nuanbao.

"Ah Yu, do we really come out like this?" Even Wang Yuanyuan, usually carefree, felt a bit timid seeing a hot spring pool with a roof made only of colored glaze, giving an open-air feel.

Lady Zhou, even more so, was naturally conservative. Just wearing underwear to soak in the hot spring made her feel uneasy, and now she still had a robe on!

Seeing the embarrassed looks on their faces, Ye Muyu was momentarily speechless.

Though she had been in this era for so long, she hadn’t learned to be conservative. To her, soaking in a hot spring at home was nothing unusual, just everyday life, but Wang Yuanyuan and Lady Zhou found it hard to accept.

She wouldn’t force them to change, after all, they were not from the same era.

"Well... let me close the roof." Ye Muyu reluctantly glanced at the beautiful colored glaze roof and gave a word to the maidservant beside her.

The little maid walked away.

Wang Yuanyuan, not understanding, asked, "Close the roof?"

Lady Zhou was also curious.

Ye Muyu didn’t explain with extra words, simply pointing to the colored glaze roof above the hot spring pool.

Slowly, a wooden roof rose up, covering the original colored glaze roof.

The hot spring pool, which was still under the blazing sun, quickly darkened. The lamps set up in advance around the hot spring pool lit up, turning it into an indoor hot spring pool.

"Wow, it can do that!" Wang Yuanyuan was relieved. She had long been interested in the hot spring pool and hurriedly came out to look around.

She wanted to study how Ye Muyu’s courtyard was designed.

Ye Muyu answered with just two words: "Mechanical techniques."

In fact, mechanical techniques had been around since earlier times.

Ye Muyu merely used the related books she had read and called upon Chu Cai, who was skilled in woodworking, to help build this simple mechanism.

Of course, if it rained, the wooden roof would definitely be retracted.

The colored glaze roof was not afraid of being eroded by rainwater.

But the wooden roof was different; once soaked, even with many applications of tung oil, it would still rot.

Wang Yuanyuan felt her eyes opened by what she heard.

"Ah, I’ve longed for a hot spring. I used to think only those with noble status, like the Emperor, had the privilege to soak." Wang Yuanyuan, after looking around, lost interest in the roof.

She was now more eager to soak in the hot spring!

Gentle and more conservative in nature, Lady Zhou checked everything in sequence, ensuring the roof was tightly closed, leaving no chance of being peeped at, and finally sighed in relief.

Hearing Wang Yuanyuan mention the Emperor, she was somewhat alarmed. Casually discussing the Son of Heaven was not a good habit.

This was something her husband always reminded her about.

Lady Zhou was a bit conflicted.
