Peasant Woman s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1003: Concubine Gao Has Made Her Move

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, the Hu family were just merchants. They had to be on good terms with County Magistrate Sun in order to survive.

Madam Hu’s elder brother was Hu Yan. Hu Yan doted on his only sister, but ever since Madam Hu married County Magistrate Sun, she was neglected.

Ye Muyu was a meticulous person. She noticed that when she met Madam Hu that day, her mental state was not bad, which meant that she had not been mistreated in material terms.

After she and Chu Heng arrived in He County, they requested to live in a courtyard with a small kitchen. It was surprisingly simple. Most people would not have a small kitchen in their backyard unless the courtyard was huge. However, it was obvious that County Magistrate Sun’s rear courtyard was definitely not that big.

The servants did not find it strange. It meant that in this rear courtyard, there were other small courtyards that had their own small kitchen.

County Magistrate Sun did not like Madam Hu, but he did not dare to hurt her. Concubine Gao’s personality was even more vengeful. She had long regarded herself as the legitimate wife, so she should be extremely disgusted with Madam Hu.

However, Madam Hu was still alive and well, so it must have something to do with Hu Yan.

Hu Yan and County Magistrate Sun definitely had a deal, and this time, Ye Muyu deliberately provoked Concubine Gao, not just because Concubine Gao was disrespectful to her.

Ye Muyu slowly put away all the papers and placed them in the box beside her.

Then, she entered the house, changed into ordinary clothes, and went into the kitchen to cook.

She did not know that after she left the house, a figure appeared in her room and read through the things she had just written. When he realized what was written, the man could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. This…That was amazing.

He left quietly and finally appeared in Eunuch Ren’s courtyard.

“Eunuch. Are you drunk?” The man casually found a stool and sat down.

Eunuch Ren shook his head and sat up straight. He saw the man’s familiar face and clicked his tongue. “I knew you would follow me.”

“Why? Are you not satisfied?” The head palace guard, Xiao Tianhao glanced at him, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip with satisfaction.

“Where did this tea come from?” Xiao Tianhao took two more sips. “It’s mellow and fragrant. It’s not bitter or astringent. It’s much better than the tea in the county magistrate’s office.”

“Do you think County Magistrate Sun, that b*stard, would give us good tea? I didn’t even touch any wine today. They only provided the lowest quality liquor. Didn’t you see those squires? They pinched their noses and drank. They were already drunk before they even walked out of the door. When they wake up, they will definitely have a headache for three days,” Eunuch Ren said with some disdain.

Xiao Tianhao also looked down on County Magistrate Sun. “I did investigate a lot of things. County Magistrate Sun has a lot of money on hand, but he deliberately used the worst tea leaves and wine to entertain you. It seems that he wants to fool you first and show that he’s poor. Then, he won’t pay for the river construction. He’s really smart.”

“If he doesn’t use his intelligence on the right path, what future will there be?” Eunuch Ren rolled his eyes.

“Actually, there’s one more thing that you might not know. Concubine Gao has made a move.” Xiao Tianhao only came to ensure that the news would be sent back to the emperor in time.

It may look like the emperor did not take the flood to heart since he had sent a new advanced scholar, Chu Heng, to solve it. However, the emperor had secretly given him a lot of support.

When Xiao Tianhao came to see the situation of the river, he realized that it was no wonder the emperor was so anxious. If it rained for three consecutive days, the entire Yuzhou and the two prefectures below would be seriously flooded.
