“Alright, I understand.” Ye Muyu thought about it for a while and felt that the first branch should take the initiative in this marriage. After all, the imperial court had stipulated that no marriage could take place within a month. Even if the Song family wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits, they did not seem to have the confidence.

She did not think that this was a troublesome matter. At most, when Qingxiang got married, Chu Heng had already gone to the prefecture to take the examination and could not attend.

Wait a minute…

Thinking of this…

Ye Muyu rubbed her forehead and looked at Chu Heng. “When will the results of the provincial examination be out?” She asked again with slight worry.

“Didn’t I tell you?” Chu Heng asked in a low voice. “It won’t affect the provincial examination.”

“You told me?” Ye Muyu frowned slightly. She felt that something was wrong. Thinking about it, she suddenly realized that Chu Heng did not answer her question at the dinner table. She saw his expression and misunderstood…

However, she felt that with Chu Heng’s intelligence, how could he not know that she had misunderstood?

After all, she had even said those comforting words.

This man was also thinking of teasing her.

“I’ll go to the kitchen to see if there’s hot water,” Ye Muyu said with a smile.

With that, she got up and left the room.

Chu Heng was stunned for a moment. He only realized that Ye Muyu was angry after she walked far away.

He could not help but recall for a long time. It seemed that he had never seen Ah Yu angry. Now, it seemed that Ah Yu was so calm and gentle even when she was angry.

However, he could not help but think deeply. After thinking for a long time, he wanted to know how to coax the other party.

Plus, Ye Muyu did not return to the room for a while.

Chu Heng felt a tinge of regret. If he had known earlier, he would not have chosen to silently agree to tease Ah Yu just to see her worried expression.

He looked at the socks that he had taken off.

Chu Heng did not hesitate. He took the socks and put them on. He stood up and soon arrived at the kitchen door.

“Master, why are you here?”

“Do you need hot water?” Madam Hu was cleaning up the cupboard and chopping board in the kitchen. At the same time, she was washing the bucket used to store milk.

There were a few bowls of cold milk on the chopping board. They were waiting to be heated up later and given to the masters at home to drink and rest.

Chu Heng grunted in response, but his gaze fell on Ye Muyu, who was sitting in front of the stove and making a fire.

“Ah Yu, I won’t be reading tonight,” Chu Heng said. His voice was low and husky, making people unable to help but praise him.

Ye Muyu looked up at him. “Then you should rest early. Madam Hu was just asking when you want to drink milk.”

“Shouldn’t I wash up?” Chu Heng strode in and asked Madam Hu, “Is the hot water ready? If it is, I will bring the water over to soak my feet and wash up.” “Alright… Alright, Master, I’ll help you.”

“No need.” Chu Heng strode out of the kitchen and came back in a short while with a wooden basin in his hand.

Ye Muyu could tell at a glance that it was the basin she used to soak her feet in.

In order to prevent athlete’s foot infection, the family was used to everyone using their personal foot basin, even the washbasin, face towel, etc. They were all separated. This seemed very particular in the countryside.

Ye Muyu stood up. Sure enough, Chu Heng had already prepared the water for her too. He even called her directly. “Go back to your room and soak your feet.”

Without waiting for Ye Muyu’s reply, he carried the basin and returned to the east wing.

Madam Hu poured water into Chu Heng’s basin while reminding Ye Muyu. “Madam, the water used to soak your feet should be hot. I used the foot-soaking bag you gave me last time. I feel very comfortable after soaking my feet..”
