Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 957: Nightmare

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Muyu fell asleep very quickly this time, but then she fell into a nightmare. In her dream, she saw Chu Heng dressed in a black robe, and there seemed to be gongs and drums around him celebrating something. She thought it was a happy occasion, but for some reason, they walked to the edge of the cliff, and a group of burly men with knives chased after Chu Heng.

In order to save his life, he jumped off the cliff.

Ye Muyu screamed and reached out to grab him, but his hand fell through her palm.

Ye Muyu woke up and sat up abruptly, still in shock.

“Madam, what’s wrong?” Su Lan, who had heard the noise outside, hurriedly walked in.

“What time is it now?” Ye Muyu wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. Her hands and feet were cold. It was summer, but she felt as if she had fallen into ice.

“It’s already 10:00 AM.”

Ye Muyu suddenly realized that she had slept for six hours.

She lifted the thin blanket and got down from the bed. Su Mei quickly found some clothes for her.

Ye Muyu did not move and let her serve him. After a long time, she asked, “Did Master send a letter?”

“Coming, Madam.”

Ye Muyu’s lifeless eyes lit up. She grabbed her arm and asked, “Where is it? Let me see.”

Su Lan did not understand why she was so agitated, but she did not dare to say anything.

Not long after, Ye Muyu was sitting on the soft couch, holding the letter that Chu Heng had sent back.

The handwriting on the letter was still majestic, but the contents were not important matters of the country. Instead, it was written about his daily affairs.

Chu Heng had passed the advanced scholar examination and was directly assigned to Yuzhou to deal with the flood. The date of his appointment was from March to May. In other words, Chu Heng should have already taken up his post.

Ye Muyu was happy for him. She knew that her man had a broad mind and outstanding intelligence. If he stayed in a small county, it would be a disgrace to him.

Ye Muyu’s cheeks flushed red after hearing the last sentence. It said, “Ah Yu, I miss you. I miss you very much.”

She could even imagine the man’s stunned mood after he wrote the last sentence.

Thinking of the dream, Ye Muyu’s smile faded and was replaced with worry. “Call Butler Luo in.”

Su Lan responded and went out to look for him.

Butler Luo arrived very soon.

Ye Muyu asked, “Did Master send any other letters? Any specific news about him?”

“Madam, Master should have already taken up his post.” Luo Qisheng was also very excited when he said this. Chu Heng had become an advanced scholar, and he had even entered the Imperial Academy. Furthermore, he had just entered the officialdom and was called to investigate the flood. If he had some achievements, his official career would definitely be smooth.

“Send two people to check on Master’s condition.” Ye Muyu did not want to talk about what happened in the dream, so she instructed him directly.

Although Luo Qisheng did not quite understand why, it did not stop him from being obedient. He nodded to show that he understood.

After giving her instructions…

When it was time for dinner, Ye Muyu went to the front yard.

Old Madam Ye and Madam Liu were talking animatedly. Seeing her come over, the two of them stopped.

“Ah Yu, have you rested well?” Madam Liu asked with concern.

Old Madam Ye was all smiles. “Daughter, my son-in-law is really capable. He has already passed the advanced scholar examination and is now an official. Old Sister, congratulations.”

After spending so much time with Old Madam Ye, Madam Liu knew that she was the most protective of her own people. 2 years ago, it was said that Old Madam Ye had a bad temper and liked to take advantage of her daughter’s family. In her opinion, it was not entirely true. After all, she knew how many things her family had. Moreover, the Ye family had indeed been having a hard time previously.
