Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 497 - 497: Luo Qjsheng

Although Chu Heng knew that the same thing might not happen, the thought of the other party scheming against Ah Yu made him very unhappy!

If Chu Qingxiang had not given up halfway because she could not bear to, he would not have only given her a small lesson.

Although Ye Muyu did not know why he was so unyielding this time, at least she did not have to worry about her thoughts being different from Chu Heng’s.

As for why Chu Heng’s attitude had changed, she rationally did not ask.

The two of them talked for a while more about planting fruit trees on the firewood mountain.

The survival rate of the mountain pepper trees was very high. Only about two could not be planted because their roots were damaged. Ye Muyu felt that it was a good choice to make use of the firewood mountain to make an orchard.

“Make a list with the number and types of trees. Give it to Lu Chuan tomorrow morning and let him contact the caravan.” Chu Heng expressed his support for what Ye Muyu wanted to do.

“If you need anything, just tell Lu Chuan. I’ll be a little busy and need to be away for a few days. Don’t worry. I’m just going out to deal with a business deal.

“You applied for leave from the school too?” Ye Muyu was a little surprised. It was almost the provincial examination. She thought that Chu Heng would be in a hurry to prepare for the examination. Who knew that he did not seem to focus on the provincial examination?

“I’m going to Lin County for an exchange. It’s not a big deal and won’t affect my studying. It’ll take about five days,” Chu Heng honestly explained everything. “I’ll have to trouble you with the family matters, Ah Yu.” He reached out and held Ye Muyu’s hand to reassure her.

“You don’t have to worry about the matters at home. I’ll take care of them while you’re away.” Ye Muyu saw that he had already made up his mind. Since she could not persuade him, she did not try to persuade him either. She promised him that he would not have to worry about anything else and that he could do his own thing.

The next day, Chu Heng packed his luggage. Under Ye Muyu’s insistence, he brought Lu Chuan along and went on a long journey.

Ye Muyu was not used to Chu Heng’s departure.

However, in the afternoon, someone came to her door, and she was instantly busy.

“Madam, this is the layout of the workshop.” A middle-aged man stood in the middle of the hall and reported in a calm voice.

Ye Muyu sat on the side seat, Zhang Shu and Madam Hu stood beside her.

Ye Muyu took the blueprints from the middle-aged man. “Steward Luo, please take a seat,” she said gently.

“Thank you for the seat, Madam.” Luo Qisheng was neither servile nor overbearing. He bowed first before bending down to sit down, but he only sat down halfway.

Ye Muyu had a higher opinion of this Steward Luo. The other party had a sense of decency and did not make her feel annoyed at all. It was obvious that he came from a wealthy family.

Wait, a wealthy family?

Ye Muyu was a little hesitant. It was not that she suspected something was wrong with the other party’s identity. With Chu Heng’s personality, he would definitely study the other party’s background thoroughly before deciding whether or not to hire him.

However, she was still very curious about who Luo Qisheng’s original master was.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Ye Muyu’s gaze fell on the blueprint in her hand. It was the layout of the ink workshop.

The ink-making process was divided in detail on the layout map. Different rooms would cater to different steps.

She read it all and felt that it was very complete. Every detail had been carefully considered.

The place where the workers lived and the alley where the goods were transported would not have any intersection with the ink-making room..
