Chapter 1453: Chapter 1450: Love and Kill Each Other

Chu Heng tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice. After contemplating for a while, he said, "I understand. Besides that, where else did Madam Tang go today?"

"She also visited a clothing shop and bought lots of things. It appears that Madam Tang has once again won Duke Zheng’s favor."

"I understand. You can go rest now."

There was no trace of emotion on Chu Heng’s face, and Lu Chuan could not fathom his thoughts. But he knew that the master surely had his own plans. He would not ask more questions and was only responsible for passing on messages.

Lu Chuan left the room.

As he walked into the courtyard, he saw Ye Muyu. He approached her and said, "Lady, regarding the blacksmith shop, I added some silver, so it can be done within ten days."

"Hmm, I understand. Tell them to make as many as possible." Ye Muyu planned to keep those iron pieces for future use.

Lu Chuan nodded and went off to work.

In the evening, Ye Muyu and Chu Heng were lying in bed, talking.

Chu Heng relayed the information that Lu Chuan had reported to her.

Ye Muyu was shocked and blurted out, "Duke Zheng can still have children?"

Actually, Duke Zheng was not yet sixty years old, and with a young woman, there were many similar cases in later generations of having children.

But that was under the condition of good medical facilities.

"With doctors to nourish his body, it should be possible." Chu Heng paused for a moment. He felt a brief moment of depression at Ye Muyu’s casual remark, wondering if he shouldn’t discuss matters involving other men with his wife.

Ye Muyu suddenly realized: "That’s true. Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and surely better at nourishing the body. However, I can understand why Madam Tang is doing this. Without Duke Zheng’s offspring, her future life would be even more difficult."

Chu Heng hesitated for a moment, not telling the kind-hearted Ah Yu that in big families, there were many examples of keeping the mother but getting rid of the child. Fearing to scare Ye Muyu, he changed the topic: "The previous idea of cooperating with Madam Tang can only be scrapped."

"Indeed, she originally wanted to live a life above others, and now that it’s achieved, she naturally wouldn’t want to leave."

"But." Ye Muyu frowned, somewhat worried: "She knows about your discord with Duke Zheng. Will she continue to target you in the future?"

Having someone who knows future matters, working together with the extremely powerful Duke Zheng, the threat is not small.

Chu Heng shook his head: "It’s nothing. She doesn’t dare disclose her contact with me to Duke Zheng. At most, she will continue to provide information to Duke Zheng as before. However, I have long anticipated this. Madam Tang is not a good partner for cooperation, but she was very suitable to use."

Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu knew very well that he had already considered the current situation, planning several steps ahead.

"Ah Heng, you are amazing." Chu Heng rubbed her head. "Go to sleep. Have a good rest."

"Okay."

Ye Muyu soon fell into a deep sleep.

Having rested well, Ye Muyu was also in good spirits after getting up the next day.

Although the hundred-day banquet was not to be held, Ye Muyu still prepared gifts for Nuanbao.

Time flew by.

There was news in the court that Chu Heng would lead officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites to the Border Town in the Northern Region to negotiate with the envoys from the Northern Barbarian Region.

The news spread throughout the capital.

Ye Muyu did not even need to inquire before she knew.

Huo Hongyan had not dared to come to the Chu family recently but often ran into Liu Zhe. Since the two had spoken once, they began to engage in their own private entanglements, chasing after each other, loving and hating in equal measure.
