Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 582: Leaving Before Dawn

When Ye Muyu woke up, she felt as if her body had been run over by a car. It was sore and painful. Her lips were red and swollen, but her body was clean.

Ye Muyu’s cheeks burned when she thought of her intimate contact with Chu Heng last night. She touched her chest which was beating like thunder, and could not help but hit the bedside. She whispered, “Running away after eating?

That’s a little too much!”

When Ye Muyu finished packing and left the room, Madam Hu came out.

Madam Hu quickly served her breakfast. “Madam, you’re up? Master left early in the morning and told this servant not to call you. Presumably, Master did not like the scene of parting, so he deliberately left early.”

Although Ye Muyu had already guessed that he had left, she was still a little disappointed when she heard it.

“When did he leave?”

“The sky wasn’t even bright yet at that time. It’s just dawn.”

“Oh.” As expected, he left early. Ye Muyu wondered where this man got his strength from. He was not tired after a night of teasing her.

However, when she thought about how Chu Heng looked thin but had a good figure, she felt that she had worried for nothing.

“Where did Ziluo go?”

It was not too late, and there was still an hour and a half before lunch. Usually, Ziluo would be reading at home at this time, but she wasn’t here today.

“Miss went to Master Chu Xing’s place. This servant went out this morning and heard that the elders in the clan were praying for Master at home.”

“The children can’t go far. Master Chu Xing just happened to bring back a double-sided embroidery. I heard that it can test the skills of the embroidery ladies. The girls in the family have all gone to learn it. Master Chu Xing said that if someone can embroider a handkerchief, he will buy it for 500 cooper coins. ”

“This price has attracted many girls to study and earn some money.”

“Looks like Master Chu Xing has really struck it rich. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have offered such a high price,” Madam Hu could not help but say.

Ye Muyu smiled. “Madam Hu, don’t underestimate double-sided embroidery. I heard that not many women know how to do it. Even the ladies of the high officials and nobles admire this embroidery technique. So, if the ladies can really learn it, it can be considered a skill to rely on.”

In this day and age, ordinary people had to rely on their skills to survive. Those who did not have skills would farm, but farming depended on the weather. If the harvest was not good, the whole family would starve.

It was different if he had good craftsmanship. No matter how bad it was, he could guarantee that it would fill his stomach.

“You’re right, Madam.” Madam Hu nodded with a faint smile.

After she finished speaking, she saw Ye Muyu pick out the ribs from the soup. Madam Hu quickly stopped her. “Madam, this meat was ordered by the master to be cooked for you. You have to finish it.”

“I drank a lot of soup and my stomach is a little full. Can I eat it later?” Ye Muyu’s body ached and she felt lazy.

It was rare for Madam Hu to see her like this. She was a little worried. “Do you not have an appetite today?”

As she spoke, she reached out to touch Ye Muyu’s forehead.

Although Ye Muyu had used rouge to cover the mark on her neck, Madam Hu was so close that it was inevitable that she would see it. She stood up suddenly and waved her hand. “Madam Hu, I’m fine. I just drank too much soup just now. I’m a little full. I’ll finish the rest now.”

Because it was pork ribs, it already had a salty taste. The more she chewed, the more fragrant it became.

“Knock, knock, knock..”

As the two of them were talking, they heard someone knocking on the door. Madam Hu quickly walked to the door of the central room and looked towards the courtyard door.

Zhang Shu quickly walked to the door and opened it. Madam Hu recognized the other party at a glance.. It was Song Lu!
