Chapter 976: Found It

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Muyu could barely see a locust tree. Even so, she was already very happy. With this tree, the problem could be solved.

Just as Ye Muyu heaved a sigh of relief and was feeling happy, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

“What are you doing here?”

Ye Muyu was startled. She came back to her senses and saw that it was Chu Heng. She patted her chest and ignored his dark expression. She walked over and pulled his sleeve. “Husband, I have good news for you. Do you want to hear it?”

“How did you get here?” Chu Heng did not listen to her at all. He was obviously unhappy with her appearance here.

“I came here in a carriage,” Ye Muyu looked up at him.

Chu Heng lowered his head to look at her, and what entered his eyes was her fair neck. His face was stiff, and he was very dissatisfied with Ye Muyu’s answer. She was not answering at all.

“I’ll get someone to send you back,” Chu Heng said.

“I’m not going back,” Ye Muyu rejected without hesitation. “Are you sure you don’t want to listen to me?”

Chu Heng did not say anything. He looked at her and grabbed her wrist, walking toward the village.

Ye Muyu saw that he had no intention of leaving the village, so she stopped struggling.

Seeing the mud and sand under the man’s feet, it was obvious that he had gone all around. She heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Actually, the situation here is that the mud and sand are piled up, but there are too few trees. The river upstream overflowed and flooded the village in an instant.”

“That’s why we need to divert the water first before planting trees. This will definitely alleviate the situation.”

Chu Heng, who was walking in front, stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. “So you’re here to find out the truth?”

“Why else would I come all the way here? It’s not like I don’t know how to enjoy myself.” Ye Muyu poked the ground with a wooden stick.

Chu Heng looked at her hands which were not rough at all. He quickly withdrew his gaze and walked in front. “I can tell.”

What was that?

Ye Muyu did not react for a moment.

“Madam, I think it’s because your skin is good,” Chun Qin reminded softly. Therefore, she did not look like someone who had done heavy work.

Ye Muyu patted Chunqin’s hand to thank her for her reminder. She lifted her skirt and caught up with Chu Heng. She explained seriously, “It’s not that I don’t work. It’s just that my skin is good because I make good cosmetics.”

Chu Heng did not refute her words. After all, his parents were satisfied with her, so he could tell that she was not someone lazy.

In fact, he was thinking about what Ye Muyu had said about dealing with the flood.

Ye Muyu saw that he was silent again, but she was used to it and did not take it to heart. When she first met Chu Heng, he was like this.

She was used to it, so she naturally would not feel that there was anything wrong with him not saying anything.

Soon, they arrived at a farm.

Seeing the carriage at the door, Ye Muyu understood that this was their resting place.

Sure enough, when she walked in, she saw a middle-aged skinny man in an official uniform sitting on a stool. There was an old and low table in front of him with some papers.

Hearing the voice, the county magistrate of Li County stood up. Seeing Chu Heng, he quickly walked over and bowed.

“Lord Chu, Mrs. Chu.”

Ye Muyu also returned the greeting. She noticed that the magistrate was looking at her in confusion, but she did not care. She just stood quietly beside Chu Heng.

Chu Heng walked to the table, picked up a brush, and wrote down the details of the investigation.

Ye Muyu walked over and looked down at the paper on the table. It was a map. Although it was very simple, it marked the location of the river and the flow of the entire river.
