Chapter 1278: Chapter 1275: Strolling in the Garden Chapter 1278: Chapter 1275: Strolling in the Garden Before Chu Heng had his mishap, the family had specially designated a Buddha Hall, where Madam Liu would pray from time to time, and Ye Muyu naturally followed suit.
Seeing her so delighted, Ye Muyu couldn’t help but take another look at the Guanyin for Child Delivery and ask curiously, “Do these really have such an effect?”
Su Mei seemed surprised by her question and responded with a respectful demeanor, “Lady, of course they’re efficacious. There’s a saying, ‘Sincerity makes the divine,’ and nothing bad happened to the master precisely because you and Old Madam were sincere.”
Chun Xing also nodded in agreement, “That’s right, lady, everyone believes in it.”
“It must be so.” Ye Muyu found that her own beliefs had changed and couldn’t help but join in the faith, after all, worshiping gods and Buddhas is a mystical matter. She couldn’t explain it, but she couldn’t deny its existence either.
“You are right. Then take it to the Buddha Hall and offer it up,” Ye Muyu instructed.
Su Mei nodded and carried the Guanyin for Child Delivery down.
It wasn’t long before Chu Heng changed into casual clothes and took Ye Muyu to the front hall for a meal.
Madam Liu told Ye Muyu that Chu Lin was arriving tomorrow and they had agreed to send someone to wait at the entrance of the capital in advance.
Ye Muyu’s appetite had improved, having gone through the morning sickness period, the pregnancy had firmly taken hold. While talking with Madam Liu, she accidentally overate.
When she returned to her quarters in the back yard, she walked around unfortably in her room to aid digestion.
Having just handled a bit of official business, Chu Heng looked up and saw her, “Ah Yu, would you like me to acpany you for a walk in the garden?”
There were no ice basins in the room, so even at night it was hot during the summer.
Ye Muyu’s eyes brightened, “Can we?”
“Of course we can,” Chu Heng said with a smile, closing his official papers, getting up, and supporting Ye Muyu as they left.
The couple rarely had such strolls in the garden. Ye Muyu wanted to see the lotus flowers in the pond.
Chu Heng didn’t stop her and even acpanied her.
The Chu family’s home was not very big, but it still had the necessary back garden, which was meticulously maintained by the servants. When the couple arrived, they saw the lotus flowers blooming at their peak, the leaves a vibrant green, and a fragrance lifting from the pond, creating a charming scene.
“The lotus flowers have grown really well this year, they must have already developed lotus roots underneath, right?” Ye Muyu peered curiously and, feeling playful, couldn’t resist scooping up some pond water on a lotus leaf.
A large droplet formed in the center of the lotus leaf instantly; with a breeze, the leaf danced, and the droplet shone clear and wobbled, like a drunken child.
Watching this, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Chu Heng raised an eyebrow, “What are you laughing at?”
“I find the bouncing water droplet so cute.” Ye Muyu smiled while sharing her thoughts with Chu Heng.
Chu Heng usually appreciated the lotus as well but didn’t pay attention to such small details, preferring the feeling of freedom and expanse. However, by Ye Muyu’s side, he felt an unstoppable joy, content even without seeing particularly pleasing views.
After playing by the pond for a while, Chu Heng had to watch her carefully to prevent her from getting wet.
Chu Heng didn’t expect her to be so mischievous and couldn’t help but find it amusing.
Seeing that it was getting late, he took her hand and led her back.
Once back in the rear courtyard…
Ye Muyu felt somewhat better but still couldn’t sleep, so she held a book and paced around.
Watching her slightly plumper figure, Chu Heng was satisfied, remembering the doctor’s advice, and he didn’t stop her from walking around.
By the time he finished his official duties, it was already late.
