After asking for a while, she saw that Chu Heng did not answer and was staring at her without blinking. Ye Muyu was a little confused and waved her hand in front of him to wake him up.
Chu Heng came back to his senses. Because of his stubborn thoughts, his eyes were a little dark. He stared at Ye
Muyu's lips for a while before slowly saying, "He's already back. He came back with me. He went home first. We'll go to mother-in-law's house tomorrow!"
"How did you find him? He must have suffered a lot these years, right?" Ye Muyu could not help but sigh.
Ordinary people joined the army because of corvee. They would only be promoted if they performed well on the battlefield. Most of these country bumpkins who only knew how to carry hoes lost their lives the most.
"Your big brother has already become a Yihui
Commandant, a seventh rank official." Chu Heng's words shocked her.
Ye Muyu was shocked. "Seventh rank?"
She was a little surprised. The county magistrate was only at the eighth rank. In fact, Ye Hao's official position was half a rank higher than the county magistrate. In Great Chu, civil officials and military officers were in a state of mutual prosperity, so the status of military officers was not lower than that of civil officials. It was only based on official positions and connections.
Ye Hao was just a small country bumpkin, but he managed to rise to the seventh rank in six years. Ye Muyu could easily imagine how difficult it was. Compared to the civil service exam, the military officer exam was a meritorious service that was earned with his life.
"Not bad. Didn't you say before that you would give me time to consider whether or not we should get a divorce?" Chu Heng looked at her fixedly and suddenly asked.
"Now that the time is up, I've already thought about it, but I want to tell you the answer now."
Ye Muyu did not expect Chu Heng to suddenly bring this up. Although she remembered it, she already vaguely knew Chu Heng's answer, so she did not ask.
Chu Heng reached out and gently grabbed her shoulder. The heat from his big, burning hand seemed to melt her body.
Ye Muyu's eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked at him with a slightly restless gaze.
"I know. You're different from before. You're the Ah Yu that I know, not the previous Madam Ye," Chu Heng said word by word.
"But others don't know, and neither does the Ye family."
"Ye Hao has always had a good relationship with you. In addition, you have taken care of his wife and children all these years. With this kindness, he will treat you very well.
Even if you divorce me..." At this point, Chu Heng's voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were red. "Even if you divorce me, he will definitely take good care of you. He will definitely not let anyone bully you."
Ye Muyu's mind went blank as she watched Chu Heng open and close his eyes. For some reason, she felt like crying. Her mind was filled with the days she had spent in ancient times.
She had thought that she would not be able to adapt to it, and even if she did, she would be lonely. After all, it was a completely unfamiliar environment.
However, because of Chu Heng, Ziluo, and Lil' Jin, she did not have the time to experience this loneliness and slowly integrated into the life of this dynasty.
In the past, she had not noticed this.
However, after hearing what Chu Heng said, she thought about how her relationship with them might gradually drift apart in the future and that they would no longer be a family. Her body trembled slightly.
She asked in a hoarse voice, "This... Is this your choice?"
It turned out that he still chose to leave...
Ye Muyu did not know that she could be so sad. Her eyes were so sore that she wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to say anything to make him stay, because this was her promise to him.
Yes, she was not the previous Madam Ye at all, so she was not Chu Heng's wife.
It was already very kind of him not to care about her, a lonely ghost, occupying the body of Madam Ye. He waited for her brother, Ye Hao, to come back and let her have someone to rely on before saying this.
