In order not to appear biased, she picked up food for both children.

“Thank you, Mother.” When Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo said this, they could not help but glance at Chu Heng.

Chu Heng did not say anything, but he ate faster.

Ye Muyu heaved a sigh of relief and quickly finished her dinner.

After the meal, Chu Ziluo brought Nenya along to wash the dishes.

Ye Muyu wanted to help but was stopped by Chu Heng. “Come back to my room with me. I have something to tell you.”

“What? Oh, okay.” Seeing this, Ye Muyu could only ask Madam Hu to help take care of the two children.

Madam Hu naturally nodded and even went to the kitchen to help boil the hot water. Later, Ye Muyu and Chu Heng would soak their feet.

Ye Muyu quickly entered the east wing.

Chu Heng sat by the bed in the room, holding a wooden box. Ye Muyu recognized it at a glance. It was the box that usually contained ointment.

“Why are you standing there? Come here, I’ll apply the medicine for you.” Chu Heng raised his head and glanced at her. He had already taken out the ointment in his hand, and his slender fingers were poking out some ointment.

After Ye Muyu sat down, he pulled her hand out and slowly applied the ointment to the red and swollen spot on the back of her hand.

Chu Heng’s movements were not light, and Ye Muyu could not help but cry out in pain.

He seemed to notice her reaction. He reminded her in a low voice, “Did you just apply the ointment on the back of your hand casually?”

“Haven’t you heard that bruises and injuries have to be applied heavily?

Otherwise, the medicine won’t work and it won’t be useful.”

“It hurts a little, but bear with it.”

Although Chu Heng’s mouth was fierce, his other hand patted her back, giving her a strong sense of security.

Ye Muyu was not a child anymore, so she naturally would not resist the pain.

Thus, she quickly calmed down and looked at him. Under the dim light, his side profile was cold and hard, but one could see that his appearance was outstanding. Even if he was only wearing a simple dark blue robe, it could not hide his aura.

Ye Muyu would believe him if he said that he was a young master of some family.

She could not help but think, was Chu Heng really just an ordinary scholar from the countryside?

Could it be that all the men in ancient times were so outstanding?

However, as she thought about it, she smiled. She seemed to have entered a misunderstanding. Talents did not necessarily have to be the sons of wealthy families. Heroes did not have to ask about their origins.

“You can still laugh? It doesn’t seem serious.” Chu Heng did not have the heart to use force, but thinking that the effects of the medicine could be better, he continued.

At the same time, he wanted to use this opportunity to warn Ah Yu so that she would not do such work in the future.

Unexpectedly, Ah Yu did not take it to heart at all.

Chu Heng had thought too perfectly. He glanced at Ye Muyu and a helpless look flashed across his eyes.

“It’s not very serious to begin with.” Ye Muyu could not help but reply. Seeing that Chu Heng was still expressionless, she was not afraid anymore. She could feel that he was in a bad mood.

Ye Muyu only retracted her hand after Chu Heng had finished applying the ointment. She covered the back of her hand with her sleeve and did not care about this injury.

Instead, she started talking about the afternoon’s matters. “I heard from

Madam Hu in the afternoon that the marriage of officials will be suspended for 100 days and the marriage of soldiers and civilians will be suspended for a month. Seeing that Qingxiang’s wedding is approaching, should we postpone

Chu Heng did not answer immediately. He remembered that Chu Qingxiang’s marriage in his previous life was also full of twists and turns.

“Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law will have to worry about this matter. You don’t have to worry.”

“You don’t have to worry about it. After all, delaying the marriage date will require the two families to discuss it again. No matter who comes to you to agree to something, you don’t have to agree. If it’s too difficult, push it to me.”

Ye Muyu was a little surprised when she heard this. She felt that Chu Heng had a hidden meaning in his words.. Could it be that he had already guessed what would happen next?
