Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1019: Chapter 1016: Magistrate of Yuzhou’s Plan

Seeing Chu Heng still, Ye Muyu urged him.

He then quickly walked over to the trunk, opened it, and after lifting the clothes above, indeed revealed scrolls and a stack of white papers densely covered in writing beneath.

Ye Muyu waited for him to come over and pointed to the side, “Here are the years. Follow them; I sorted them by year.”

“The second line is the category of the event, and the following text includes details I believe are falsified. You will need to find further evidence.”

As she spoke, Chu Heng kept flipping through the pages, noting that they were indeed very methodically written, in a way he had never seen before but much better than the records at the county government.

“You…” Chu Heng collected the papers, “I will take you back to Yuzhou to recuperate.”

Ye Muyu did not expect him to say that but thought about it and did not refuse. Staying here was no longer of much use to her; as for recovering her memories, she could take it slow. For now, addressing the flooding was more crucial.

“Okay.”

Ye Muyu had very little luggage, so she quickly packed and boarded the carriage; thick cushions were laid inside to prevent the journey from being too bumpy.

“I will have someone escort you back,” said Chu Heng, sitting by the bed, his gaze serious.

Ye Muyu wanted to nod, but then a burst of talking sounded at the door, followed by the entrance of the inn’s waiter, asking if the room was still needed.

Hearing that familiar voice, Ye Muyu felt everything was falling into place effortlessly. Her gaze casually passed over the waiter’s face as she spoke, “Sir, I would like some water.”

Chu Heng reached for the teapot beside the bed and poured her a cup.

Ye Muyu took it and slowly drank two sips but coughed lightly several times from drinking too quickly.

After the waiter left.

Ye Muyu set down the teacup and looked up to see Chu Heng’s doubtful eyes.

True to his nature, he noticed something odd about her actions. Ye Muyu looked at him and asked, “Do you find my behavior just now a bit strange?”

“Yes, is something wrong?” Chu Heng, who usually was not a talker, asked with a trace of urgency and nervousness.

“Last night, someone entered my room,” Ye Muyu did not conceal the fact and relayed the previous night’s events.

Chu Heng’s expression darkened, “Rest assured, I will find the person responsible.”

“Be careful yourself,” Ye Muyu nodded, “If you find out who it is, remember to write to me.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Okay.”

Two quarters of an hour later, Ye Muyu was already lying inside the carriage, with Chun Xing taking care of her closely; Lu Chuan was driving the carriage, with Chunqin sitting beside him.

This time, Chu Heng directly hired an escort master to send Ye Muyu back.

County government’s rear residence.

County Magistrate Sun respectfully watched Prefect Lin drinking tea, “Minister Lin, Chu Heng has returned but has not come to see you directly. Instead, he sent his wife away, it seems…”

Prefect Lin’s tea-drinking paused as he looked at him, “Are you reminding me that your people injured the wife of an imperial court official?”

County Magistrate Sun stiffened, also realizing the deeper implications this situation involved.

He immediately became somewhat nervous, “Minister, could Chu Heng possibly…”

“If you continue being this foolish, he will inevitably catch you out,” Prefect Lin said indifferently.

County Magistrate Sun panicked, “Then Minister, what should I do?”

“My daughter is already married into the Chu family,” Minister Lin reminded him.

County Magistrate Sun suddenly realized something; Prefect Lin was not seeking conflict with Chu Heng, but promoting him directly was also not possible.
