Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

“Are you that well-informed?” Ye Muyu looked at him curiously. Nanchang County was far away from Jing City, and the news of the incident in Jing City had taken half a year to be passed down. No one knew the exact details.

Looking at Tang Dongfeng’s appearance, he seemed to be able to do it with ease, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Tang Dongfeng stroked his beard and smiled. “Madam, have you forgotten? I was bought by Butler Luo from a slave seller. My previous master was also in Jing City.”

“It’s just that my master was too blindly loyal and was punished. As a result, the entire family was exiled, and even a small manager like me got affected.”

“I didn’t ask you before because I trusted you. Now that you’re willing to tell me, I’ll listen. If you’re unwilling, tell me when you’re willing to tell me.” Ye Muyu felt that Tang Dongfeng might seem casual, but it was also because he did not care about his personal freedom. As long as he did not have any hostility towards her, she could accept him doing things for her.

As for his private matters, as the master, it was not appropriate for her to ask.

Chu Heng definitely knew about it, but Ye Muyu did not ask.

“Madam… Actually, there’s nothing I can’t say.” Tang Dongfeng looked at her and sighed.

“It’s just that Old Master Xu thought highly of me and married his youngest daughter off to me. However, something happened to the Xu family and I only managed to save my wife in time. Old Master Xu and the Young Master Xu were beheaded, leaving only some women and children who were exiled.”

“Later on, I was stranded in Jiangnan, far away from Jing City. I was able to make a living, but my wife injured her body and passed away not long after. My mother-in-law was also too sad and couldn’t make it through.”

“Now, this lowly one will stay here and do my best to take care of the other females of the Xu family. They have already married and their lives are not bad. This lowly one will not disturb them.”

“Why did you come here to sell yourself when they’re already doing well?” Ye Muyu asked curiously.

“Madam,” Tang Dongfeng’s expression turned serious. “I value your and Master’s character. Do you believe me?”

“Instead of living in a daze, it’s better to find a wise master. I want to fulfill my promise to my deceased wife and see the flowers sent from Jiangnan in Jing City in a month.”

Ye Muyu looked at him quietly. There was only a calm smile in the man’s shrewd eyes.

Perhaps this was his pursuit.

“Besides, before I came, Butler Luo said that if I do well in the future, I can get rid of my slave status. There are many people in the Chu family’s shop who don’t have slave status.”

“You guys are the first to give work to ordinary people.”

“I don’t think I’ve misjudged you.”

The corner of Ye Muyu’s mouth twitched slightly. Seeing his confident appearance, she shook her head helplessly. As for the work in the shop, they would only hire ordinary people for roles that did not involve confidential work.

“Madam, you have to pay attention to what I just said.” The smile on Tang Dongfeng’s face disappeared. He reminded her, “I don’t know if the lip balm that the Yu Family sent contains any medicine. If it does, I’m afraid something big will happen.”

“We have to prevent being implicated by the Yu family.”

“What do you think?” Ye Muyu asked.

The only person who was related to the Yu Family was Liu Lu.

She had originally planned to make good use of the talents, but now that the court was involved, the situation was a little complicated.
