Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2002: Chapter 1999: Stability

Ye Muyu spoke and reached for his hand.

Previously, she clearly remembered Chu Heng blocking the sharp weapon with his hand.

Indeed, when she raised Chu Heng’s hand, she saw the wound on his palm, with fresh blood still flowing down.

“Why did you use your hand to block it?” Ye Muyu was a bit angry, pressing her lips tightly as she searched for the ointment to apply on his hand.

Chu Heng saw that she was really angry and did not speak, focusing only on her, and even listening to her constant murmuring gave him peace of mind.

He actually didn’t feel any pain in his palm.

That small wound was just a minor issue for him.

Precisely for this reason, the possibility that Ye Muyu might get hurt because of him made him feel even more uneasy.

This emotion felt like it was going to overflow from his chest.

Chu Heng tightly controlled his emotions, afraid of scaring her.

Ye Muyu gently tended to the wound, wrapping it up before looking up at him.

“Ah Heng, did you remember? Next time, don’t let yourself get hurt like this.” Ye Muyu saw he didn’t respond and wondered if he didn’t want to listen, furrowing her beautiful eyebrows.

Suddenly, Chu Heng reached out and hugged her tightly. Ye Muyu was a bit puzzled, her head resting on his chest, feeling the warmth of his body through his clothes, which made her feel somewhat comfortable.

She opened her mouth, about to say something.

Chu Heng used his good hand to press her head into his embrace, “Ah Yu, don’t speak, let me hold you for a while.”

Ye Muyu sensed his unease, moved her lips, and quietly complied, her hand lightly stroking his back to offer comfort.

Chu Heng held her for a while, his emotions gradually calming before he released her.

“Ah Yu, this time’s assassins are related to the group secretly organized by the Southern Border.” Chu Heng was honest with her, speaking about this secret organization.

With the incident involving King of Huainan and Xiang Anwan, most of the remaining people had gone into hiding, but this sudden attack on him indicated that someone was doing something within.

“I remember, aren’t the people in this organization under serious drug control?” Ye Muyu said uncertainly. Chu Heng worried about her, and she also worried about him getting into trouble because of this.

Moreover, the assassins today weren’t really strong; otherwise, she would have been in real danger.

If the assassins aren’t skilled, then why would they attempt to kill them knowing it was futile?

Thinking of this, Ye Muyu had a suspicion, “Ah Heng, do you think someone might be controlling them?”

“I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Recently, I will assign some people to be by your side.” Chu Heng had many speculations, but until he could confirm them, he remained suspicious of the suspects.

It’s unclear what the person behind the scenes intends to achieve by sending people over.

Ye Muyu knew that until he dealt with these hostile forces, he wouldn’t be at ease, so she nodded to show cooperation, hoping Chu Heng could be reassured.

The two of them comforted each other for a while.

Ye Muyu patted her forehead, stood up, and said a bit sheepishly, “Ah, well, with all that commotion, surely Yuanyuan and Lady Zhou must have heard it. I wonder if they were frightened.”

“I’ll go ask them.”

“Ah Heng, rest here and recover. I’ll have someone bring you lunch.”

Ye Muyu stood up, finished speaking with Chu Heng, and walked outside.

Chu Heng did not stop her.

Once she left.
