Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife-Chapter 1334 - 1331: Rest Well

Chapter 1334 -1331: Rest Well

Strawberry earned two hundred and seventy-five taels, while the income from other fruits ranged between fifty taels and seventy taels.

All the harvested grain was stored; there were over ten thousand catties of wheat and twenty thousand catties of rice.

The family now had over thirty thousand taels of silver; that was just the net income after deducting expenses in the capital from the income of the shops there. The silver earned by the family’s old home was settled biannually and had not been sent over yet.

After looking over the silver, Ye Muyu felt somewhat happy in her heart.

It seemed that thirty thousand taels of silver was not a small sum, but the usual social exchanges and gifts gave rise to no small expenditure; a banquet alone would require at the very least five to six hundred taels. No matter how much silver there was, it would not be enough.

She just thought this way, but because they owned shops, she wasn’t in a rush to make more silver.

Once her scalp was cleaned, she felt instantly refreshed.

She spoke in a low voice to Su Mei.

“What exactly happened to me at that time? Tell me in detail,” Ye Muyu asked.

Su Mei did not hide anything and spoke of her long unconsciousness, naturally mentioning Chu Heng.

“Master…” Su Mei hesitated somewhat.

“Just tell me straight, there’s no need to hide anything. I know he must have had a hard time,” Ye Muyu’s voice was somewhat low.

Su Mei naturally did not dare to hide anything and recounted everything one by one: “After the lady fell unconscious, the master personally watched over you, continuously talking to you by the bed. Later, no one knows why, he began to sing songs to the lady. This servant was too far to hear clearly, but the master sang for six days straight. Even the Old Madam and others are aware of this.”

“The Old Madam even came in to stop the master, asking him to rest while she watched over the lady, but the master did not agree. He only went to the palace halfway through to ask for leave. The Emperor and the Empress have also sent over tonics as gifts.”

“The Elder Princess and other aristocrats followed with gifts as well. The news that the lady fell unconscious after giving birth has also spread out.”

Ye Muyu was not surprised by this; Chu Heng had to give a reason for not attending court, and coupled with the summoning of Physician Lu, there was no way to keep the news secret.

“About the master keeping watch over me, don’t let that get out; warn the servants in the residence,” Ye Muyu instructed.

Su Mei nodded: “My lady, rest assured. No one knows about this matter except for this servant, Chun Xing, and the Old Master, Housekeeper Luo and others; we’ve been keeping it secret.”

“That’s good.” Ye Muyu knew how well Chu Heng treated her, but she could not let his reputation be damaged.

It was already enviable enough that he had asked for leave because of her childbirth. If more details leaked, she feared that she would become Chu Heng’s weakness. If an adversary, driven to a corner, should act against her directly, that would be bad.

After talking for a while longer, Ye Muyu instructed that Chu Heng’s meal be prepared in the kitchen, then let Su Mei and Chun Xing go to rest as well.

Chu Heng woke up in the evening.

With Ye Muyu next to him, occasionally talking, his heart was at ease, and he slept very soundly.

Even though he had stayed up for so long, having now slept for about four hours, he felt much more refreshed.

“Go have your meal.” Ye Muyu had already eaten before it got dark.

Now that she saw him awake, she first caressed his face affectionately and then rather sternly urged him to get out of bed.

Chu Heng’s gaze remained on her. Seeing that she was in good spirits, he completely relaxed, smiling and nodding: “Alright, I’ll go eat now.”

“Good.” Ye Muyu watched him go to his meal and did not disturb him.

Then she called eagerly to Su Mei: “Su Mei, where is the child? Bring him here, I want to see him.”

Because Chu Heng was asleep all day, Ye Muyu did not want to disturb him and thus had not yet seen the child.
