Chapter 996: Don't Know the Rules

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What?” Chu Heng was surprised. He did not expect Ye Muyu to be in contact with the military. “How did you get in touch with the military?”

“My Eldest Brother is in the Shen family army.” Ye Mu Yu did not mention anything about what happened in the Shen family’s army.

Chu Heng understood and did not ask any more questions.

“Then I’ll make porridge for you. It’ll be good for you to eat at night.” Ye Muyu asked for his opinion. Seeing that he nodded, she went to the kitchen in the courtyard.

When Lu Chuan saw her enter the kitchen, he quickly followed her to help out.

“What do you want to eat?” Ye Muyu was very considerate of everyone’s taste, so she asked Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan did not expect that he would be given the chance to choose. He could not wait to tell her what he liked to eat.” Madam, I want to eat braised pork.”

“Alright.” Ye Muyu boiled the porridge first before starting to stir-fry.

For a dish of red braised pork, one needed to choose the most fat and lean pork belly, cut it into large pieces, and first burn the skin of the pork in a hot pot.

After all the skin was crispy, she added the seasoning. Finally, she put the braised pork in and stir-fried it. Then, she covered it and braised it for 15 minutes to collect the sauce.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of food. When Lu Chuan was cooking, he could not help but look up at the delicious food in the pot.

They suddenly heard the sound of a basin falling to the ground outside.

Lu Chuan and Ye Muyu looked into the courtyard at the same time.

“Madam, this subordinate will go and take a look.”

“I’ll go too.” Ye Muyu put down the kitchen knife.

Just as the two of them walked to the bathroom door, they saw a servant girl whose clothes were half-undressed. The basin of water already soaked her skirt. She fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

Ye Muyu only took a glance before looking away. This servant girl was indeed ambitious.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Master.” Lu Chuan saw Chu Heng standing in front of the screen, wearing a white undershirt.

“Call County Magistrate Sun over.” Chu Heng’s voice was as cold as iron. Ye Muyu knew him the best. He was definitely angry. She had only seen him like this when Luo Qing Xue drugged them.

Lu Chuan quickly ran out.

Ye Muyu went up and brought him some clean clothes.

“I’ll help you wear it.” Ye Muyu quickly put on his clothes and reached out to cover his hand. She was shocked to find that his hand was very cold. “Did you catch a cold?”

“I’m fine.” Chu Heng pursed his lips tightly. When he answered her, he was a little gentler.

“Go sit in the room next door.” Ye Muyu looked around and roughly knew what was going on.

There were puddles of water around the bathtub and some wet footprints.

One was a footprint, and the other was a shoe print. One was big and one was small. It was obvious that it belonged to Chu Heng and that servant girl.

Chu Heng nodded, turned around, and left the bathroom, entering the room next door.

The servant girl was still sitting on the ground, covering her mouth and crying. She was kneeling in the courtyard, and no one knew what she meant.

Soon, County Magistrate Sun and Eunuch Ren arrived.

“Why are you crying?” Eunuch Ren shouted.

The servant girl was so frightened that her entire body trembled, and her crying instantly stopped.

County Magistrate Sun’s hands trembled when he saw this scene. He entered with a smile on his face, but when he saw Chu Heng sitting in the chair with a livid expression, his heart skipped a beat. The smile on his face froze for a moment. He stepped forward nervously. “Lord Chu, this… What happened?”

“County Magistrate Sun, this servant girl is from the residence, but she doesn’t know the rules. I’ve already told her that the master doesn’t need anyone to serve him. Who knew that she would go in again after I went into the kitchen with Lu Chuan? What a headache.” Ye Muyu looked at County Magistrate Sun.
