Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife-Chapter 1146 - 1143: The Elder Princess’ Mansion
Chapter 1146: Chapter 1143: The Elder Princess’ Mansion
Hearing this, I casually said, “Because the Little Prince is fond of Aunt Qiao and the illegitimate child, he considers the poisonous herb to be an accident, and believes that neither Aunt Qiao nor the illegitimate child did it on purpose. Naturally, he felt that the punishment from the Elder Princess was too harsh.”
“Should Huo Yanyi, a child so young, just die in vain?” Ye Muyu huffed, somewhat unconvinced.
Chu Heng: “The Little Prince is now incapable of siring children; that illegitimate child is his only offspring, so naturally he must be protected. As for the rest of the world, they value those who are living.”

“In that case,” Ye Muyu retorted irritably, “since Aunt Qiao is dead, the Little Prince shouldn’t bear a grudge against the Elder Princess either, right? After all, if Huo Yanyi had died, the Little Prince would also wish for the Elder Princess to not hold a grudge.”
“Ah Yu, this is someone else’s affair. Don’t be angry,” Chu Heng, belatedly realizing that Ye Muyu was truly angry, couldn’t help but laugh.
...
“Fine, if you were the Little Prince, what would you do?”
“I would not fall for someone with such a malicious mind, so naturally my adversary wouldn’t poison a legitimate child. The hypothesis you just mentioned would thus be invalid,” Chu Heng said without hesitation, for he was never the same kind of person as the Little Prince.
“Let’s just leave it at that. Actually, the main issue is the conflict between the Little Prince and the Elder Princess. The Little Prince might not truly love Aunt Qiao,” Chu Heng extended his hand, grasped Ye Muyu’s hand, pried open her fingers gently and idly toyed with them: “The Princess’ Mansion even sent an invitation to you. My master, Lord Huo from Hanlin Academy, used to be engaged to the Elder Princess, which is why we received an invitation.”
“If you do not wish to go, then don’t,” he said.
“At the Princess’ Mansion, I’ve already arranged my people. This would be the perfect opportunity to disrupt the Liu family’s attempt to ingratiate themselves with the Princess’ Mansion.”
Ye Muyu thought for a moment: “I’ll still go. After all, the Elder Princess invited me considering the Huo family’s face. As you just said, the Elder Princess is sure to have her pride. If I reject this invitation, and someone points it out in public, it could cause the Elder Princess to lose face, and repairing that relationship later would become difficult.”
“You can feign illness,” Chu Heng was reluctant to have her suffer any humiliation.
Ye Muyu, feeling his concern, felt a warm sensation in her chest, and bent down to kiss him on the cheek.
Chu Heng’s eyes darkened, and with one move, he held her tightly in his embrace.
“Ah Heng, I was wrong.”
Ye Muyu, feeling the man’s head buried in her neck, his hair lightly pricking her skin, felt a tickle and hastily dodged back.
The two chased and frolicked.
The next day, it was not surprising that Ye Muyu woke up late, with several marks on her neck.
As a result, she donned her neck scarf early on.
“Lady, are there perhaps too many braziers in the room?” Su Mei entered and, seeing Ye Muyu wiping sweat, asked with concern.
Ye Muyu coughed gently, a bit embarrassed: “Just leave one, please.”
With the scarf, she indeed didn’t feel cold, rather she felt somewhat hot.
“Alright.”
Ye Muyu sat by the bed sorting through letters from various places, as well as maps of the capital.
With the manor’s affairs now managed by two experienced individuals she had selected, she didn’t need to oversee them personally anymore.
Besides, there was nothing pressing at the stores, though a new bookstore had opened, printing and selling rare books collected from various places.
As for the rouge workshop, its location and staffing were arranged by the Emperor’s people. Ye Muyu was only responsible for arranging for the experienced workers skilled in making rouge to go there. With these matters settled, she truly had nothing demanding her attention.
