Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1093: Chapter 1090: The Dark Night

Moans of discomfort escaped her mouth, and Madam Zhao’s eyes immediately reddened.

“Madam, you’re finally back. I did not dare act rashly and only said the young miss caught a cold. I sent the servants to summon a female doctor, but she has not returned yet.” Mrs. Luo saw Madam Zhao and let out a sigh of relief while quickly kneeling down, “Madam, it was the servant girl’s lack of care that has brought suffering upon the young miss.”

Madam Zhao took a seat beside the bed, grasping Zhao Qingqing’s hand firmly, forcibly suppressing her anger, she asked, “What happened?”

“Madam, I stayed by the young miss’s side all along. But after a long wait, Tangyuan did not come back with the clothes. In the end, a maidservant from the Lin family brought up some new tea, and after the young miss drank it, this happened.”

“To protect the young miss, since those thieves were heading towards the guest rooms, I had to hastily leave.” Mrs. Luo did not dare to withhold a thing, stretching out her hand to open the bundle beside her, which unmistakably contained the same teapot Zhao Qingqing had used in the guest room. @@novelbin@@

“Madam, not knowing if there was a problem with the tea, I had Red Dates help bring it back.”

“Test it, it must be tested!” Madam Zhao felt a wave of cold sweat on her back as her face turned ashen with anger. Remembering the incident with Lin Mianmian, if Mrs. Luo hadn’t been there, she feared that the maids below would have panicked by now. One mistake and her daughter’s happiness for life could be ruined.

“I also ask to atone for my mistakes with contributions.” Mrs. Luo knelt on the ground and kowtowed earnestly, her forehead soon covered in fresh blood.

“Alright, Mrs. Luo, you go test the authenticity of what’s inside, and also find Tangyuan and bring her back. If the female doctor has arrived, bring her here as quickly as possible.” After giving her orders, Madam Zhao saw Mrs. Luo off, who promptly hurried to carry them out.

Ye Muyu returned home, first instructing the servants to wait at the academy and pick up the Young Master early after school.

At the same time, she also ordered the servants of the residence not to move around at will. Spring Breeze Courtyard was closed off, and the servants Lin Mianmian had brought with her were all confined to the woodshed, awaiting their fate.

“Madam, who would have expected that the Lin family would be raided today.” Chun Xing, younger and more lively than Su Mei, couldn’t help but comment upon seeing Ye Muyu dressed in casual clothes, sitting on the soft couch and writing, with a brazier warming the room and the windows half open—an atmosphere completely different from the chaotic Lin residence.

“Remember to be circumspect in your speech and conduct. The Lin residence is too chaotic; trouble was bound to happen sooner or later.” Ye Muyu was also surprised by Chu Heng’s thunderous actions; she had initially thought that handling County Magistrate Sun was the limit, and she would still need to curry favor with the magistrate of Yuzhou. She hadn’t expected him to be able to take down the magistrate of Yuzhou directly.

However, she wondered if she would be seen as a thorn in someone’s eye.

“Madam, you are right. If the banquet had been held at our residence, such a farce would have never occurred. But Aunt Lin actually…” Chun Xing, embarrassed to say the rest, smiled and said, “After all, without Aunt Lin causing trouble, the rules here are much better.”

“Madam, will we be eating in the main kitchen from now on?”

Upon hearing this, Su Mei also looked up.

Ye Muyu rubbed her forehead, feeling that the main kitchen definitely needed to be put in order.

“Hmm, tomorrow you will bring the kitchen maid from the main kitchen to me.” Ye Muyu nodded; she had been busy lately, and most meals needed to be prepared by the main kitchen. Besides, when Lin Mianmian was around, she would often give silver to the main kitchen to prepare food, leading to some disorder there, including embezzlement.

But in Ye Muyu’s side, none of the servants dared to make a mistake.

Still, she was concerned that the cooks had grown too accustomed to their large appetites and definitely needed to be taken down a notch.
