Chapter 233: Martial Skills for Managing Husbands?
Chu Heng's initial restlessness and agitation were instantly soothed as he reached out to gently touch Ye Muyu's hair. Ye Muyu sensed a subtle control over Chu Heng's emotions—could it be a skill for managing husbands?
"Do you have any more questions?" Ye Muyu asked him.
Chu Heng subconsciously shook his head, "No."
"Then I'll go clean up the dining table." Ye Muyu turned and entered the house.
Watching Ye Muyu's figure, Chu Heng suddenly realized that this was the first time he had tasted such delicious dishes. However, Ye Muyu had already left and he felt embarrassed to mention it again.
Luchuan, seeing Chu Heng's expression, vaguely guessed something "Master, are you planning to return to the academy later?"
"No, prepare the carriage and take it to the stable."
Chu Heng shook his head. As soon as he finished giving orders, Chu Xing came over to find him.
It made sense. Two carriages suddenly arrived and they were dressed in a way that screamed wealth. The villagers who saw them had likely spread the news throughout the village. Chu Xing, who was working on building a house nearby, had a clearer view.
After Chu Heng left, Ye Muyu beckoned to Luchuan.
"Madam." Luchuan respectfully stood before her.
Ye Muyu glanced at Chu Heng, who was walking away, and asked "Has my husband encountered anything troubling recently?"
"Troubling?" Luchuan didn't think that the master would have any troubles. However, whenever the master's emotions fluctuated significantly, it seemed to happen only when facing the madam.
"Is there anything unpleasant happening at the academy?" Ye Muyu rephrased the question.
Luchuan gave her an assist and thought for a moment "Maybe it's because the food at the academy isn't tasty."
Luchuan's thinking was simple. Chu Heng seemed a bit upset just now and the only thing related might be the lunch with the guests this afternoon?
"Oh, I see. Thank you for letting me know. You can go about your duties now." Ye Muyu dismissed Luchuan, guessing that Chu Heng's slightly resentful gaze during the meal might have been related to having simple meals at the academy while enjoying a rich diet at home.
It seemed like she should help Chu Heng solve the problem of meals. After all, they would be leaving the village soon and it wouldn't be good if the scholar's meals were neglected. Otherwise, his health might suffer.
Chu Heng had no idea that one day his straight-faced male bodyguard would help him gain advantages with his wife.
Meanwhile, Chu Heng explained Xie Yu's identity casually to Chu Xing and the others.
As for the reasons, it definitely had nothing to do with Ye Muyu's cooking skills. It was merely a mutual visit between two scholars.
Chu Heng didn't want to put Ye Muyu in a difficult situation by mentioning her culinary skills. The women in the village already envied Ye Muyu for living a good life. If word got out that her cooking had caught the attention of the Third Young Master from the Xie family in the county, it might lead to jealousy and trouble.
Using his own identity simplified matters.
"Brother Heng, the Third Young Master from the Xie family seems to admire your literary talent. You're really amazing." Chu Xing sincerely praised.
Chu Dongyu and the others were envious too but they were more about sharing in the glory. After all, Chu Heng was part of the Chu family and the more accomplished he became, the more it reflected positively on the Chu family.
"When will your house be repaired? After it's done, remember to invite me to the celebration banquet." Chu Heng said.
"Brother Heng, rest assured. We won't forget you." Chu Xing nodded.
"Well."
Chu Heng was not a talkative person. After chatting briefly with Chu Xing and the others, he went back home to read.
Chu Dongyu and Chu Xueqing had decided that they would send their son to study. If he could pass the exams, that would be great. If not, they wouldn't regret it.
