Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Madam Hu held the two pheasants in her hands and felt that they were hot. “My goodness, although I know that Master cares about Madam, it’s not good to catch pheasants at this time.”

“You should persuade Master in the future.”

“The imperial examinations are a big deal.”

“Master has plenty of talent. If he doesn’t take the imperial examination because of this reason, how aggrieved would he be? You also know that people in this world, especially officials, are surrounded by enemies. They can’t be caught by others,” Madam Hu reminded Lu Chuan in a low voice.

“Actually, we didn’t kill those two pheasants,” said Lu Chuan.

“If you didn’t, then how did they die?” Madam Hu’s eyes widened. She did not believe him and wanted to scold him.

“The pheasants were bitten to death by a weasel. We just picked it up,” Lu Chuan said as he rubbed his nose gloomily.

“Your idea is also very dangerous!” Madam Hu looked at him seriously and warned.

Lu Chuan knew that Madam Hu was close to Ye Muyu. It must have been Ye Muyu’s intention for him to be reprimanded. Thinking that Ye Muyu was doing this for Chu Heng’s sake, he felt a little guilty even though he originally thought that Chu Heng’s idea was good

Nonetheless, they really handled it very well and could guarantee that no one saw it.

In the study room…

Ye Muyu also heard about the origin of the pheasants from Chu Heng.

She was speechless for a moment. She looked at Chu Heng, who did not think he was wrong at all. She felt helpless. “Even if that’s the case, don’t do it again.

Otherwise, even if you bring back pheasants, I won’t eat them.”

“I can control what I eat.” Ye Muyu expressed her attitude. Chu Heng was obviously a person who would not be easily changed by others once he made a decision. Especially when he believed in his own self-confidence. Since he said that he had handled it well, it was very likely that nobody saw him.

However, Ye Muyu was more worried about the possibility.

If she had to risk her career just to catch pheasants to support her body, she would definitely not do it. After all, it would only be a little more than a month.

Chu Heng looked at her and explained, “I’ve thought about it. Today is the easiest day. After a few days, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to touch any meat. People will notice. Your health is more important.”

Ye Muyu pursed her lips and did not say anything.

It was precisely because Chu Heng was doing this for her that she disapproved of him doing so.

“Alright, there won’t be a next time.” Chu Heng sighed when he saw Ye Muyu’s stubborn expression.

“I know that you are a man of your word. Since you said it, I will believe you.” Ye Muyu’s words seemed to flatter him, but in reality, she was provoking Chu Heng to ensure that Chu Heng would not do it again.

How could Chu Heng not know that she had said that on purpose? According to his personality, he would definitely not go back on his word after hearing it.

This was her goal.

Was she worried about him?

When Chu Heng thought of this, his mood improved. “Okay, I promise you.”

Ye Muyu saw that he answered seriously and nodded slightly. “I’ll keep these pheasants in the well.”

Since Chu Heng had specially brought it back for her to nourish her body, according to his personality, if she did not eat it, he would probably think of other ways to get chicken meat for her to nourish her body. Ye Muyu thought to herself, ‘If I go along with him, this matter will be over.’ The two of them had a rather harmonious conversation.

After a while, she came out of the study and was ready to eat breakfast.

Lu Chuan was in the yard helping with the hay. Seeing that Ye Muyu and Chu Heng did not quarrel, he heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that if Chu Heng did anything risky in the future, he would secretly tell Ye Muyu..
