Chapter 974: The Condition

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chu Heng suddenly remembered what happened last night. He pursed his lips tightly and restrained his emotions. His deep eyes fell on Ye Muyu’s face. After a while, he retracted his gaze and looked at the county journal in his hand.

“Is it a blockage caused by the river silt?” After a long time, Ye Muyu’s voice sounded.

When Chu Heng heard her words, he had a strange feeling. He raised his hand to let her sit down and rest, but he did not want to talk to her about the river management.

Ye Muyu pursed her lips. Did he not want her to delay his business?

However, Ye Muyu would not let go of this opportunity. She said, “River regulation does not only require building dams on the original foundation. Look at this area. It’s so big, so it can be divided. Protective forests can be built on both sides of the river. It will be more or less effective…”

She spoke with confidence, bringing out the things she had read about river management in her previous life. Naturally, it was enough to convince people.

Chu Heng did not pay much attention at first, but every word Ye Muyu said automatically drilled into his ears.

When he realized that he had only been listening to her voice and was in a daze, Chu Heng’s face darkened. He was still in disbelief. If it was not for the fact that his body was normal, he would have thought that he was possessed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Husband?” Ye Muyu spoke for a long time, but Chu Heng did not respond. She was puzzled. What she said was reasonable and based on the terrain of Yuzhou, it should be useful to him. Why did he not respond at all?

Chu Heng shifted his gaze to her face and met her bright eyes. He realized what he had done. He pursed his lips and said, “I didn’t hear you clearly just now. Say it again.”

Ye Muyu almost suspected that he was playing with her.

She had been speaking carefully and seriously just now, and Chu Heng had clearly been listening.

“I can say it again, but bring me along when you go out in the future.” Ye Muyu thought it through and stopped being angry. Instead of getting angry with Chu Heng, it was better to achieve her goal first.

Chu Heng subconsciously frowned, somewhat unwilling.

Ye Muyu did not say anything else. She picked up the kettle in a good mood, poured a cup of water, and drank it slowly.

“It’s still a 25-minute rude from Li County,” Chu Heng reminded her in a calm voice.

Ye Muyu stopped drinking her tea. She did not expect it to be so far away. However, when she thought of the area recorded in the county annals, she felt relieved and put away the kettle.

Leaning against the carriage, she closed her eyes and planned to rest until they reached Li County.

Chu Heng saw that she really did not mention the river management anymore, so he continued to flip through the county annals and did not mention this matter.

Because Ye Muyu had fallen asleep, the journey was very quiet.

“Master, we’re here.” Lu Chuan jumped down from the carriage and reminded her.

Chu Heng lifted the curtain and walked out.

Seeing that no one was following him, Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment. “Master, isn’t Madam coming down?” he asked.

“We’re going to the county government. Send someone to serve her.” Chu Heng did not intend to bring Ye Muyu along.

Lu Chuan’s eyes were filled with surprise. He was not used to seeing Chu Heng not sticking to Ye Muyu.

“Yes.”

When Ye Muyu woke up, she realized that she was in an unfamiliar room. She became alert, rubbed her head, put on her shoes, and left the room.

The servant girl sitting at the door heard the sound and quickly stood up. When she saw that it was her, she bowed respectfully and said, “Madam, I am Chunqin, a servant girl from the county government. My master asked me to take care of you.”

“Lord Chu also left a guard outside the courtyard.”
