PWDLAW Chapter 456: A Thoughtful Man

 Chapter 456: A Thoughtful Man

Chu Heng naturally knew that the passing of the queen would not affect the township examination.


Because the queen had been in poor health for a long time and both the emperor and his officials had already mentally prepared themselves for her passing.


However, the capital was in chaos at this time.


From the queen's passing to the next five years, there would be a turnover of officials in the capital and many loyal ministers and generals would be implicated... He didn't know if his arrangements would be effective.


Chu Heng was lost in thought.


To Ye Muyu, it seemed like bad news.


She bit her lip, feeling sorry for him, and hesitated for a moment before soothingly saying, "Even if it is affected, at worst, we'll have to wait another three years. But I've read the 'Chu Code,' generally speaking, in such situations it's usually postponed for a year or even not postponed at all. So, you can think positively. We'll have more time to prepare for the examination. Besides, whether we pass the exam one year earlier or later, it won't make much difference. It's better than failing the exam and having to wait another three years."


"Now that our family is gradually becoming financially stable, you can take as long as you need to prepare for the exam."


As Ye Muyu spoke, she slowly realized that it had become quiet around them.


She raised her head and found that both Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo were looking at Chu Heng with expressions of awe, unable to speak. As for Chu Heng himself, he was frowning at her, his thoughts unreadable.


Ye Muyu suddenly felt that her words just now might have been unnecessary. She hesitated, wondering if she should clarify the situation with Chu Heng.


Hu Shi came over with the food.


Ye Muyu suddenly stood up.


A hand beside her reached out and pulled her back down.


"Ah..." Ye Muyu let out a soft exclamation.


Chu Heng had already grabbed her hand and under the light in the room saw her slightly red hand. He suddenly looked at Hu Shi with a flash of anger in his eyes. "What happened here?"


"Why did you scare Hu Shi? Their hands are also swollen." Ye Muyu reached out and gently patted his hand.


But Chu Heng had a strong grip, afraid of hurting her, so he let go.


Ye Muyu withdrew her hand and gently said to Hu Shi "Hu Shi, you can go and have your meal."


"Yes, Madam." Hu Shi glanced at Chu Heng, seeing that he did not object, before slowly retreating.


Chu Ziluo watched Chu Heng who was angry, carefully, not understanding why Dad was angry. Could it be that the question she just asked was too much?


Chu Jin, on the other hand was already feeling regretful. He swallowed his saliva, buried his head and pretended to eat, only occasionally glancing at Chu Heng.


Seeing that Dad wasn't bullying Mom, he naturally kept quiet. It would be better if Dad ignored his existence.


"How did this happen?" Chu Heng's gaze fell on her hand.


Ye Muyu smiled, "This happened when I was making ink blocks this afternoon. I needed to pound the ink and I wasn't familiar with it so I got hit by the hammer."


"It's not just me, Hu Shi, Zhang Shu, and Luchuan all helped me pound the ink and they all got hurt to some extent."


"But it's not serious. A little ointment and it will be fine in two or three days."


Ye Muyu didn't think much of her own injury. Everyone gets injured in life. Seeing that Chu Heng was still in a bad mood, she thought for a moment and said, "Think about it, if I were to do manual labor and I wasn't used to handling a hoe, my hands would also get blisters. It's the same principle."


"All right, let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold."


Ye Muyu felt that she needed to take good care of this man who had been affected by the township examination and show him a little more concern.


Thinking about it, she picked up some food for him first.
