Chapter 995: Sweet Potato Noodles

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The servant’s courage instantly deflated like a balloon, and she retreated fearfully.

Ye Muyu sat beside her and found it funny. This servant girl was really bold. She did not put Ye Muyu in her eyes at all, but she wanted to please Chu Heng.

Underestimating her was the same as underestimating Chu Heng.

She really did not know how these people’s brains worked.

She smiled speechlessly.

“Your robe was also dirtied by that servant girl?” Ye Muyu saw that Chu Heng’s expression was still good. She sighed and comforted him softly.

Chu Heng’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed. Seeing her clean eyes, the frustration in his heart was suddenly soothed.

He suddenly understood why he did not dislike Ye Muyu’s approach. It was not only because she was his wife, but also because of her eyes.

She did not have any schemes. She would say what she wanted to do directly and would not beat around the bush.

“She’s County Magistrate Sun’s daughter.” Chu Heng did not intend to mention this matter at first, but for some reason, when he heard her ask, he could not help but tell her the details of this matter.

It was as if he did not want to hide it from her at all.

“When I came back from the county government office and walked through the corridor, I met a woman who had fallen down. I retreated and didn’t care, but my outer shirt was stained with tea.”

“From the shouts of those servant girls, I know that it is the residence’s Second Young Miss.”

“The residence’s Second Young Miss is the daughter of a concubine.” Ye Muyu placed her finger on the table and said.

Chu Heng’s brows twitched. “I can hear the Second Young Lady’s orders to her servants to treat me well even when I was far away,” he continued.

“You are really unlucky.” Ye Muyu said sincerely, “I wonder if the Second Young Miss hates you or has some feelings for you?”

“I don’t know.” Chu Heng was extremely indifferent, completely ignoring the Second Young Miss of the Sun family.

“Lord Chu, the hot water is here…”

The servant girl who had left earlier had returned.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ye Muyu looked over subconsciously. Before she could walk over, Chu Heng said expressionlessly, “It’s too cold.”

“Change it again.”

Ye Muyu could almost see the servant girl’s awkward expression and realized that Chu Heng was deliberately making things difficult for her.

She knelt down and wanted to speak, but Chu Heng repeated indifferently.

The servant girl’s legs trembled as she held back her tears and carried it out again.

Ye Muyu smiled.

“It’s not good to waste this water. Let her carry the water bathtub. I’m afraid you’ll have to take a shower,” Ye Muyu said gently.

Chu Heng grunted and instructed Lu Chuan, who was standing outside the door.

As Chu Heng’s personal bodyguard, Lu Chuan was allowed to stay there because there were two rooms for servants on both sides of the house in the rear courtyard.

“What do you want to eat? I’ll prepare dinner for you,” Ye Muyu asked.

“Hot and sour noodles.” Chu Heng said.

Ye Muyu did not expect him to say this. “Do you really want to eat it, or do you want to promote the sweet potato noodles?” she asked.

“Sell the hot and sour noodles,” Chu Heng told the truth. He wanted to eat something light.

“Then you don’t have to worry. I have good news for you. All the hot and sour noodles made in our village were sold to General Shen and the others,” Ye Muyu said with a smile.

“Because it’s not the season to dig sweet potatoes yet, I owe them a lot.”

The yield of sweet potatoes was much higher than wheat and rice. Basically, most villagers knew how to grow them.

After learning about the sweet potato noodles, the Shen family’s army sold a portion of their rations to buy sweet potato noodles. Even if they only had one meal of sweet potato noodles every day, it was easy to fill their stomachs. It was cheaper, convenient, and easy to store. Naturally, the sales were good.
