Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1099: Chapter 1096: Laying Down the Law

Chu Jin immediately walked over, subconsciously wanting to hug her waist.

Chu Heng frowned, “Boys and girls should not sit together after the age of seven.”

“Didn’t my sister eat with me?” Chu Jin knitted his brows. “Mother said we are a family and eating together at the same table can foster affection.”

“What I mean is, you’ve grown up and can no longer be unguarded around the opposite sex,” Chu Heng had made himself clear.

Ye Muyu saw the pitiable look on Chu Jin’s face and reached out to touch his head, “Come, Lil’ Jin, sit down.”

“Mother knows you went to see Aunt Lin because you were worried about me, but next time, you should ask Mother first before you do something like that, alright?” Ye Muyu spoke as if to suggest.

...

Chu Jin was straightforward, and seeing that she did not scold him for making a mistake but instead taught him how to do better, his eyes immediately lit up, “Mother, alright, I understand. Will Aunt Lin come back?”

Ye Muyu turned her head towards Chu Heng. @@novelbin@@

“Ah Heng, what do you think?”

“She won’t,” Chu Heng squeezed her little hand beneath his robe, his voice decisive.

Chu Jin couldn’t help but shout out in joy.

Chu Ziluo also couldn’t contain her broad smile.

Back in the backyard.

Both of them had already washed up.

Ye Muyu sat on the soft couch and asked, “What exactly happened with the Lin residence?”

She was intent on investigating, and even the Zhao family had sent her a message, but she preferred to hear Chu Heng’s explanation.

For instance, why Chu Heng was not poisoned, and how Lin Mianmian ended up entangled with someone else in the end.

“The matter is quite simple. I hadn’t figured it out before, but now I’m certain. Lin Hao initially wanted to capture you to threaten me to take a stand. After their plan failed, they did not give up and continued trying to take you away.”

“As for Zhao Qingqing, they intended to use a mishap between her and me to drive a wedge between me and the Zhao family.”

“It’s just that Lin Mianmian overheard their plan and took the medicine herself, wanting to create a scandal with me.”

“I didn’t drink that wine, pretended to be drunk, and left, which was the perfect opportunity to extricate myself from the Lin family,” Chu Heng briefly explained the situation. He gently touched her head, “Actually, I never told you that the accident back then was arranged by the Lin family. They wanted me to have an accident. Unexpectedly, I didn’t die from the accident but lost my memory, and while I was ill, they sent Lin Mianmian over, implying in all manner of ways that I needed to take responsibility for her.”

Seeing Ye Muyu look his way, he paused and explained, “When I woke up, Lin Mianmian was already there, but I asked the old doctor, and she had only helped me take my medicine.”

Seeing him explain proactively, Ye Muyu’s mouth curled slightly, her mood still good.

“As for this incident with Lin Mianmian, I didn’t take action; it was her own misstep,” Chu Heng said coldly, “She was sent in by Lin Hao and had already become a pawn, but unfortunately, she didn’t understand that herself.”

“With that being the case, she should be responsible for her own choices.”

Ye Muyu knew well Chu Heng’s principled nature. He had treated her the same way in the past: willing to take responsibility, but not offering any affection.

“I understand.”

The matter with Lin Mianmian was a mistake from the start. “What about her now?”

“She is in prison, she too is implicated,” Chu Heng stretched out his hand and pulled Ye Muyu into his embrace, “I will handle it properly, she won’t come back.”

“The silver that magistrate of Yuzhou embezzled, there must be others involved behind the scenes, right?” Ye Muyu inquired curiously.

Chu Heng’s mouth curled slightly, he explained, “You can see it, and so can everyone in the court. However, we haven’t found any evidence, only Lin Hao has been executed.”
