Am I then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Neither.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Muyu glared at him instantly, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll get angry when you say that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Heng hurriedly soothed her by stroking her back gently, with the grain, “Actually, I don’t think I would like anyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you, you’re different.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Heng let out a soft chuckle in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Muyu, however, felt rather embarrassed and annoyed, her eyes flying open as she tried to move away, but the man’s hand did not relax, “Chu Heng, you’re mocking me, aren’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Chu Heng said, the corners of his mouth still lifted in a smile, clearly in a very pleasant mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You say that, but your smile could almost stretch behind your ears,” Ye Muyu thought of retaliation, reaching out to poke his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now her hand was caught too, the man brought it to his lips and kissed it, “I’m laughing because Ah Yu is adorable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Muyu’s face reddened even more, and after several attempts, she finally withdrew her hand, huffing, “I get it, then stop laughing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.” Chu Heng tamed his smile, but his eyes remained curved, obviously still amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll help you tidy your hair.” As they were about to enter the city, Chu Heng pulled over the young lady who was sulking with him and tidied her hair for a while, leaving Ye Muyu looking prim and proper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you,” Ye Muyu said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm,” Chu Heng thoroughly enjoyed accepting this apology and then proceeded to straighten his own attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage soon stopped at the mansion gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Heng got out first and reached out his hand to Ye Muyu inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the two descended from the carriage, several people from the mansion came to greet them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them was a person wearing the palace’s patterned robes, clearly an eunuch sent with a decree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, the magistrate of Yuzhou, Zheng Tongzhi, and other officials of various ranks from Yuzhou City were also present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Heng, unperturbed, nodded to the magistrate of Yuzhou and the others as a greeting, before kneeling down with Ye Muyu to receive the Imperial Decree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eunuch Ren did not dawdle and directly unfurled the Imperial Decree, reading it aloud for all to hear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees, to the editor from Nanchang County in South Origin Prefecture Chu Bianxiu, for contributing high-yield grain seeds from his clan… promoted to Bachelor Reader at the Hanlin Academy, official fifth-grade, and his wife Madam Ye, granted the status of Fifth-grade Official Lady…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For eternal generations, for meritorious achievements to the state and welfare of the nation…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the ceremonial words, everyone present understood that Chu Heng had been promoted, from seventh rank to fifth, with even the Prefect holding an official rank of only fifth-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This revelation changed many faces amongst the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, even his countryside bride was granted a title, and although it was merely Fifth-grade Official Lady, it was still quite exceptional in Yuzhou. From now on, no one at the banquet would dare to treat Ye Muyu with blatant scorn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We thank His Majesty for his grand benevolence,” Chu Heng received the Imperial Decree, his expression still calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Muyu also stood up, not having expected to receive a decree herself; it seemed the Emperor truly favored officials who did practical work, which meant she would have an easier time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eunuch, did the Emperor have any other instructions?” Chu Heng inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eunuch smiled, “Lord Chu truly has made an impression on the Emperor’s mind; Eunuch Ren indeed has another matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, Eunuch,” Chu Heng led him into the study and had Housekeeper Luo attend to the magistrate of Yuzhou and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a female family member, Ye Muyu naturally wasn’t expected to stay in the front yard to entertain guests. With Housekeeper Luo there, she could steal some free time for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>",702,"2026-06-05T23:54:24.245Z",1,"novelbin.me","15fb0819f2a1b291261bbc1f7647833289b0ae5f772552e6ca387c79b0bcf5af","peasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-chapter-1078","peasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-chapter-1076",2499,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpeasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-cover.jpg"]
