Chapter 1297: Chapter 1294: Making a Fuss

But seeing how affectionate her parents were, she didn’t know why, but she also felt very happy.

Ye Muyu looked up and saw her smiling like a little fool, and couldn’t help but laugh along, reaching out to touch her head, “Are you craving roast duck? You’re smiling so happily.”

“Mother, I’m already a grown-up girl now, you can’t touch my head,” Chu Ziluo said a little shyly, glancing at her toes.

Ye Muyu looked at her pointed chin and her fair cheeks and suddenly sighed, “Ziluo has also grown up.”

Chu Heng seemed to think of something, his fingers rubbing the back of her hand, his gaze somewhat distant, “Hmm.”

“But you’re still too thin, you need to eat more and nourish your body well.”

Ye Muyu was true to her word, and at dinner, she kept putting more dishes into her bowl.

Chu Ziluo ate happily, usually Mother also took care of her, picking out dishes she liked, and those she didn’t like, such as bitter melon, Mother would cut very thin and then soak in salt, instantly making it less bitter.

Ye Muyu had no idea of her daughter’s thoughts.

She habitually took care of the children at home.

When it came time to sit down for dinner, Chu Heng also piled her plate with food.

All of it was her favorites.

Ye Muyu sat down and started eating with peace of mind, now that she wasn’t experiencing morning sickness, she had to nourish her body well to avoid running out of strength during labor.

After finishing the meal.

Ye Muyu followed Chu Heng for a stroll in the yard when she thought of Madam Tang’s issue, she frowned and in a low voice said, “Ah Heng, do you think Madam Tang really conspired with Duke Zheng?”

“How could she be so daring.”

“Now, once the Elder Princess comes to her senses, I’m afraid she won’t trust her ever again.”

After hearing the news Lu Sangqi told her, Chu Heng’s expression became more solemn, and he unconsciously gripped her hand a bit too hard.

He looked down, eyes fixed on Ye Muyu, who was safe in his arms, and pursed his lips tightly.

“What’s wrong?” Not getting a response after a while, Ye Muyu turned her head to look at him and, seeing that he was staring blankly at her, waved her hand curiously.

Chu Heng snapped back to reality, gently pulling her into his embrace, “It’s nothing, I was just wondering whether the child inside you is a boy or a girl.”

“Whether they’ll trouble you.” He reached out to touch her face.

This move by Duke Zheng made him realize that the adversary might have been plotting against him for a long time.

He couldn’t back down, for if he did, who would protect Ah Yu and the children?

Chu Heng gently held her, dropping a kiss on her forehead.

Ye Muyu, however, reacted like a startled little rabbit.

She looked around somewhat frantically, although the servants all kept their heads down, the very fact they did so meant they had all seen it.

She reached out to pat his chest, “Why are you being so silly again?”

Chu Heng still wrapped his arms around her waist, letting her pat him, a smile on his lips, “Cough cough, my mistake.”

“You admit your mistakes quite quickly.” Ye Muyu was also a tad helpless, huffing softly at him, indicating that she was magnanimous and wouldn’t hold it against him, “Let’s go, we should head back to our room quickly, it’s so hot outside, let’s walk more when it cools down!”

“Is it okay to walk inside the room?” Chu Heng was still somewhat concerned; he followed the doctor’s instruction to accompany her on walks every day to strengthen her body, but ever since the start of the hottest days of summer, Ye Muyu preferred to stay in the room, unwilling to move.

Ye Muyu did not immediately agree but used this as an opportunity to negotiate with him, “Ah Heng, I was thinking that later on you could help me scrub my back, and walking twenty laps around the room will do, deal?”

Chu Heng’s ears turned red, his voice deliberately lowered.
