 Chapter 308: Helping You Seek Revenge, No Matter the Cost

"Want to know about last night?" Chu Heng teased.


He lifted a towel from the hot water, wrung it out and then handed it to Ye Muyu.


Ye Muyu naturally took it, feeling the dissipating warmth from the towel and began to pat her face.


"Do you want to know?" Ye Muyu nodded, waiting for Chu Heng to explain.


Chu Heng said, "I used the reputation of all the females in the Cao family to threaten them to hand over Xu Shi. At the very least, an apology is necessary, especially to you."


"Apologize to me?" Ye Muyu was puzzled. "Clearly, it was your reputation that Xu Shi slandered."


"She angered you." Chu Heng was concise and firm. His black eyes, when met seemed like they could pull someone in.


Ye Muyu felt a strange sensation deep in her heart. She couldn't help but suspect whether Chu Heng was really a reserved and silent person. Why did he seem like such a skilled player in matters of the heart? The words he spoke were more touching than saying 'I love you' ten thousand times.


"Because she angered you, I will help you seek revenge, no matter the cost."


"In fact, I'm not angry anymore. Didn't I retaliate afterwards?" Ye Muyu explained with a smile. "It's just a bit ostentatious. Now, I guess everyone in the village knows that I really dislike Xu Shi."


Indeed, she disliked her. Despite the many people in the village who sent gifts, including all the members of the Chu family, it happened that Ye Muyu expressed her displeasure after Xu Shi was beaten.


"You did the right thing. I've already talked to the clan leader. From now on, you will represent meand they won't make things difficult for you." Chu Heng said assertively.


Ye Muyu showed a skeptical expression. "Really?"


The elders in the clan were generally conservative especially when it came to women taking on roles traditionally held by men. Even if it happened in private, it wasn't something that could be openly discussed.


For example, Chu Liushi, in a simple matter like the amount of gifts to be sent to the clan leader's family during festivals, could decide on his own.


But when it came to the clan leader speaking to Chu Zhiwen, or discussing major issues within the clan, Chu Liushi couldn't intervene.


Now, Chu Heng's intention was clear.


While he was in school, not in the village, and even in other situations in the future, the clan leader and other elders could directly approach Ye Muyu for consultation.


This meant that Ye Muyu's status in the clan was now equivalent to his.


Chu Heng's actions broke the traditional rules in a society that traditionally valued males. The clan leader, Chu Yonghua, chose to ignore the issue directly but he clearly underestimated Chu Heng's persistence.


Even Ye Muyu, who had read many ancient laws and understood the social background of the Great Chu, was somewhat surprised.


It seemed that Chu Heng was not a person strict with himself.


He only followed his own heart.


"Of course as my wife representing me is only natural." Chu Heng's naturally arrogant attitude convinced Ye Muyu.


Although she didn't mind, she wouldn't be foolish enough to refuse the respect and recognition of her fellow villagers. In ancient times, it was obviously an important matter. She didn't feel any psychological pressure, considering she had already considered this.


"Thank you." Ye Muyu sincerely expressed her gratitude.


Chu Heng arrogantly grunted, "No need to thank me. You represent what's mine."


Seeing the man restraining his cheerful mood, Ye Muyu couldn't help but laugh softly.
