Chapter 823: Take It Slowly
Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife
Editor:Â EndlessFantasy Translation
âBy the way, Ah Yu, Iâm thinking of finding a wife for Yanxu.â
Mrs. Duâs words were like thunder, falling into Ye Muyuâs ears. She did not react in time. It was too sudden. âMadam, I thought you would be Mrs. Xie and wait until Yanxu becomes a high scholar before letting him get married.â
At the very least, if they have waited until Du Heng passed the scholar examination before getting married, he would definitely have more girls to choose from.
âJust call me âAuntieâ. Thatâs just an excuse for outsiders.â Mrs. Du was also a little worried. âYou donât know. A few days ago, Yanxu suddenly came to find me. He said that he wanted to get married. I was also shocked.â
Ye Muyu understood. It was not strange that Du Heng had brought it up first. Although Mrs. Du valued rules, she was still very good to her family.
âAuntie, do you have anyone in mind?â Ye Muyu asked.
âI donât, but Yanxu said that he already has a candidate. Iâm afraid that this child will be deceived,â Mrs. Du said with some worry.
Ye Muyu could not interrupt and give any suggestions. Ling âer was Hengâs cousin, so she was close to them. If she spoke up for Lingâer now, she would be suspected of deliberately instigating them.
The closer they were to each other, the more she could not speak up for them. After all, marriage could affect oneâs happiness for life.
âForget it, forget it. When Yanxu tells me who that girl is, Iâll observe her carefully. I think itâs not impossible to see through a little girl.â
They talked for a while more.
Chu Heng asked someone to call for her.
After having lunch at the Du familyâs house, Ye Muyu and Chu Heng left the Du family with Lingâer and the two children.
Lu Sangqi stayed behind to treat He Jiao and left three days later.
âAbout the Yu familyâ¦â Ye Muyu asked him as they got into the carriage back to the village.
âThereâs no hurry. Take it slow.â
Chu Heng must already have a plan, so Ye Muyu did not ask anymore. The specific situation would only be known when the time came.
âLing âer, what do you think of Yanxu?â Ye Muyu suddenly asked.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYoung Master Du?â Xiang Lingâer looked at her innocently with her round eyes.
âYes.â Ye Muyu did not actually need them to be together. She only asked directly because she wanted to see their own opinions.
âYoung Master Du is quite good. He can read and do business. Heâs also gentle and not fierce.â Xiang Lingâer counted her fingers and told her about Du Hengâs good points.
âDo you like him?â
âLike him?â Xiang Lingâer was stunned at first, then her face turned red. She waved her hands and said, âSister-in-law, no, no, you canât say this again. Iâm not worthy of Young Master Du. Besides, you canât say such things casually. Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined.â
Ye Muyu could not help but smile when she saw her reaction.
Xiang Lingâer blushed, unwilling to continue the topic.
Ye Muyu did not make things difficult for her, but Chu Heng found an opportunity to kiss her ear. His sexy lips kissed her ear gently as he gritted his teeth. âAh Yu, youâre so considerate to outsiders. What happens to them depends on them. If you have the time, why donât you think about how to love me more?â
âHavenât you asked for enough during night time?â Ye Muyu snorted lightly. Her charming eyes were slightly raised, revealing a sexiness that even she herself did not realize.
Chu Heng instantly felt that she was a tormenting person. He placed his hand on her waist and gently pinched her soft flesh. His breathing quickened after a while, and he deliberately teased her.
Ye Muyu did not dare to move. The children and Lingâer were resting in the carriage. If she made a sound, it would be very obvious.
