Chapter 1340: Chapter 1337 Discussing Matters

“You…you let go.” Ye Muyu only felt a tingling sensation spread from her spine to her brain, her face already flushed with embarrassment.

Chu Heng’s deep eyes watched her, but he did not let go; instead, he bent down and gave a forceful suck.

After a bit of commotion, Ye Muyu grabbed Chu Heng’s shoulder, and only when he lay beside her did she let out a sigh of relief.

“Alright, you should rest now.” Ye Muyu reached out to wipe his mouth for him.

Chu Heng kissed her hand and smiled warmly, “Okay, I’ll rest now.”

“If you’re ever feeling unwell, just tell me directly,” Chu Heng advised, eyes closing but still concerned.

Had he not appeared entirely sincere, without a hint of any other motive, Ye Muyu might have suspected he did it on purpose.

Her cheeks turned redder, and she buried her head in the crook of his shoulder, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed as she patted his chest, “Enough, I know. You should rest. If you’re not too busy these days, don’t just think about going to the yamen to work, get some good rest.”

“Alright.” Chu Heng wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close, kissing her forehead before closing his eyes, settling down to sleep contentedly.

The next day.

Before leaving the house, Chu Heng found Madam Liu.

“Mother, are you all prepared? I’ve asked Steward Luo to arrange for a few guards to go back with you,” Chu Heng said.

Madam Liu waved her hand: “I won’t be going back. I’ll stay here to take care of Ah Yu.”

“I’ve heard what Ah Yu said, and she sent me to persuade you,” Chu Heng said with a helpless smile, “Rest assured, I won’t plan any banquets or such events until Ah Yu has fully recovered. I’ve already mentioned this before stepping out.”

“Besides, there’s Chu Ziluo,” Chu Heng added casually, referring to his daughter, “She’s also twelve this year and can start learning to manage the household.”

“Oh yes, how could I have forgotten about Chu Ziluo?” Madam Liu slapped her forehead, realizing belatedly, “I always thought of Chu Ziluo as a child, I didn’t notice she’s grown up so much.”

“Ah Sheng and Ah Zhang are also of marriageable age.”

“Then I… I’ll go and return early,” Madam Liu finally agreed.

It wasn’t just that she trusted what Chu Heng said.

It was because she had seen with her own eyes how much her son cared for Ah Yu; he surely wouldn’t let her overexert herself recklessly.

But since Ah Heng had put it that way, there must be arrangements in place, someone to supervise Ah Yu, and she would certainly not be allowed to act recklessly.

This reassured her.

“Understood.” Chu Heng nodded, acknowledging he got the message.

Ye Muyu learned of this by mid-morning.

Madam Liu, fearing misunderstandings, sighed softly and patted her hand, “Mother is just worried you’ll be stubborn. Alright, once Mother leaves, you must listen to Ah Heng more. Everything else is secondary; you should focus on recovering first.”

“Thank you, Mother, I understand. Don’t worry,” Ye Muyu reassured, patting the back of Madam Liu’s hand, her eyes brimming with gratitude.

Madam Liu wiped her tears away: “Now you’re a mother of three, if the children see this, they’ll tease you.”

Saying so, she also felt somewhat sentimental; having spent much time with Ye Muyu, she had come to regard her as a daughter, compensating for the absence of her own.

“Mother, please be careful on the road.”

“Have Lu Sangqi prepare some common medicines that you might need,” Ye Muyu instructed.

Madam Liu patted her head, “I didn’t think of that. Alright, you take a good rest, I’ll go see to it.”

After Madam Liu left,

Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo came to visit her one after the other.

Then she chatted with the two children for a while.
