Chapter 823: Take It Slowly
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“By the way, Ah Yu, I’m thinking of finding a wife for Yanxu.”
Mrs. Du’s words were like thunder, falling into Ye Muyu’s ears. She did not react in time. It was too sudden. “Madam, I thought you would be Mrs. Xie and wait until Yanxu becomes a high scholar before letting him get married.”
At the very least, if they have waited until Du Heng passed the scholar examination before getting married, he would definitely have more girls to choose from.
“Just call me ‘Auntie’. That’s just an excuse for outsiders.” Mrs. Du was also a little worried. “You don’t know. A few days ago, Yanxu suddenly came to find me. He said that he wanted to get married. I was also shocked.”
Ye Muyu understood. It was not strange that Du Heng had brought it up first. Although Mrs. Du valued rules, she was still very good to her family.
“Auntie, do you have anyone in mind?” Ye Muyu asked.
“I don’t, but Yanxu said that he already has a candidate. I’m afraid that this child will be deceived,” Mrs. Du said with some worry.
Ye Muyu could not interrupt and give any suggestions. Ling ‘er was Heng’s cousin, so she was close to them. If she spoke up for Ling’er now, she would be suspected of deliberately instigating them.
The closer they were to each other, the more she could not speak up for them. After all, marriage could affect one’s happiness for life.
“Forget it, forget it. When Yanxu tells me who that girl is, I’ll observe her carefully. I think it’s not impossible to see through a little girl.”
They talked for a while more.
Chu Heng asked someone to call for her.
After having lunch at the Du family’s house, Ye Muyu and Chu Heng left the Du family with Ling’er and the two children.
Lu Sangqi stayed behind to treat He Jiao and left three days later.
“About the Yu family…” Ye Muyu asked him as they got into the carriage back to the village.
“There’s no hurry. Take it slow.”
Chu Heng must already have a plan, so Ye Muyu did not ask anymore. The specific situation would only be known when the time came.
“Ling ‘er, what do you think of Yanxu?” Ye Muyu suddenly asked.
“Young Master Du?” Xiang Ling’er looked at her innocently with her round eyes.
“Yes.” Ye Muyu did not actually need them to be together. She only asked directly because she wanted to see their own opinions.
“Young Master Du is quite good. He can read and do business. He’s also gentle and not fierce.” Xiang Ling’er counted her fingers and told her about Du Heng’s good points.
“Like him?” Xiang Ling’er was stunned at first, then her face turned red. She waved her hands and said, “Sister-in-law, no, no, you can’t say this again. I’m not worthy of Young Master Du. Besides, you can’t say such things casually. Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined.”
Ye Muyu could not help but smile when she saw her reaction.
Xiang Ling’er blushed, unwilling to continue the topic.
Ye Muyu did not make things difficult for her, but Chu Heng found an opportunity to kiss her ear. His sexy lips kissed her ear gently as he gritted his teeth. “Ah Yu, you’re so considerate to outsiders. What happens to them depends on them. If you have the time, why don’t you think about how to love me more?”
“Haven’t you asked for enough during night time?” Ye Muyu snorted lightly. Her charming eyes were slightly raised, revealing a sexiness that even she herself did not realize.
Chu Heng instantly felt that she was a tormenting person. He placed his hand on her waist and gently pinched her soft flesh. His breathing quickened after a while, and he deliberately teased her.
Ye Muyu did not dare to move. The children and Ling’er were resting in the carriage. If she made a sound, it would be very obvious.
