Capítulo 2157: Chapter 2154: Gratitude

As parents, it’s natural to want to see your children succeed. It brings a sense of fulfillment, no wonder many adults want to raise children after getting married. When the children at home are very capable, it’s truly a source of pride.

Chu Ziluo took the contract and left; she still had many things to do.

Once Chu Ziluo left, Chu Heng came in from outside.

He wasn’t holding Nuanbao, indicating Nuanbao had been given to Chun Xing to take back to the room.

Walking in and seeing Ye Muyu’s smiling eyes, he found it amusing and flicked her forehead: “What are you thinking about, looking so happy.”

“Ah Heng, the children we’re raising are so amazing.” Ye Muyu happily shared, hugging his arm.

Chu Heng didn’t understand, “Why suddenly think about this?”

Ye Muyu then described Chu Ziluo’s performance and mentioned a negative example: “Compared to the profligate sons in the capital who go around causing trouble, our children are just too capable.”

Chu Heng neither agreed nor disagreed, although he didn’t say it, he was also satisfied with the two children in his heart.

Indeed, different people raise different children.

Chu Heng paused for a moment, his gaze became firm; he didn’t want to know reasons, he just knew he wanted to be with Ah Yu for life, all other grievances he could handle decisively.

“By the way, lately many people in the capital have come to thank me, and someone even sent gifts to the residence. Although they are just some agricultural products and not important to us, those people rely on them for meals, so what should we do now?” Ye Muyu truly didn’t expect that Chu Heng would deal with Imperial Censor Zhang’s family by making her famous.

Even Emperor Xuanming allowed this.

To her, this was simply unimaginable.

After all, no emperor would willingly watch someone’s reputation surpass their own, right?

Moreover, she is a woman.

Considering the perspective of the ruling powers of this era, they shouldn’t be pleased to see someone’s reputation better than theirs.

Chu Heng reached out and ruffled her head, soothing without worry: “Don’t be afraid, though you’re famous this time, the Emperor will take advantage of it, gaining the title of a wise ruler who employs capable people, which is what he seeks now. Besides, because you’re a woman, the Emperor agreed easily.”

“Because I can never be an official, and possibly overshadow your reputation?” Various thoughts popped into Ye Muyu’s mind, she speculated and asked.

Chu Heng gazed at her with appreciation: “Exactly.”

“Historically, there were famous women, but they couldn’t influence court politics. Their influence on those in power is much less than that of men. Even if your reputation is good, it’s impossible to do something as significant as treason. If you really did, the very first ones to stand against you would be the common people.”

Ye Muyu nodded thoughtfully, under this social context, many people’s thoughts are rather conservative, but that doesn’t mean they’re not good people, it’s just different experiences lead to different thoughts.

“But anyway, my reputation helps you in many ways. In the future, things should be more convenient for you, right?” Ye Muyu said with a cheerful smile.

Chu Heng couldn’t help but hold her face, his nose touching hers: “So, I really have to live off you now. When I go out to work, I only need to tell the people I’m Lady Ye’s husband, and everyone will treat me kindly and cooperate in everything.”

“How should I thank you?”
