"But if there’s sothing you want to eat, I’ll make it for you and have the servants send it to the yan."
"Will it be too much work for you, seeing how your arm hasn’t healed yet?" Chu Heng frowned slightly.
He disapproved of her going into the kitchen to work while injured.
Ye Muyu, however, felt restless at ho and couldn’t rest easy about Chu Heng, so handling these small cooking tasks was still doable for her.
"It’s no problem at all. I just need to give directions, and besides, there’s help from the kitchen maid and others. I won’t be tired, nor will it interfere with my healing." Ye Muyu waved her hand, not feeling at all that having only one arm ant she couldn’t get things done.
Seeing her enjoynt, Chu Heng thought for a mont and privately instructed the servants to take good care of her, thus not refusing.
With Chu Heng’s instructions, Ye Muyu mostly stayed ho, honestly resting and tending to her injuries, while also writing letters to her elders Madam Liu back in the capital, and continued to correspond with her maternal family.
Speaking of which, King of Huainan and the Beirong Prince were already on their way, estimated to reach the capital in less than half a month.
Ye Muyu first took out the dical book and placed it beside her, then opened the letter sent by Ye Hao.
The letter was dated ten days ago, but when Ye Hao wrote it, it was a matter from a month earlier.
Reading the letter, Ye Hao ntioned enhancing training to screen the stationed conditions of several cities involved in trade between the Northern Region and Beirong.
This matter was sothing Ye Muyu had an impression of.
Minister Qi seed keen on vying for the garrison rights in the biggest city, Xiang City.
Though King of Huainan had tens of thousands of soldiers in the Northern Region, generals, deputy generals, commanders of a thousand, commanders of a hundred, and other officers under him ca from different factions, with King of Huainan’s own troops numbering only a few thousand.
Nonetheless, King of Huainan still wielded strong commanding power in the Northern Region.
However, he faced constraints.
What Minister Qi wanted to do was likely to position his own person as the governor of Xiang City.
Other power-holding officials in the capital had similar ideas.
Only by appointing their own people would trade and dealings beco smoother and easier.
But so far, Emperor Xuanming had yet to indicate how the selection process would be conducted.
Whether directly appointing officials or promoting locally.
The situation in the military clearly seed to adhere to a competition-based selection, which was most common.
Ye Hao’s activities showed there were no noticeable disturbances within the military camp for the mont.
After finishing the letter, Ye Muyu sighed softly, knowing she had long sent a reply, estimating it’d take another twenty days to receive a response.
Corresponding with her elder brother and others usually occurred once a month.
Ye Muyu hoped there’d be no chaos in the Northern Region, or else it was the common people who’d ultimately suffer.
Moreover, her elder brother would be further affected.
But such matters were beyond her control, all she could do were subtle reminders.
Unexpectedly, Ye ngjie didn’t marry the son of a subordinate official under King of Huainan, but instead wed the child of a friend who once saved Ye Hao’s life.
Since Ye Hao’s friend was of humble origin, marrying Ye ngjie ant she didn’t suffer any grievances.
"Madam, Madam Hu is here to pay a visit."
Ye Muyu had just been reading the dical book for a while when she saw Madam Wang arriving, feeling sowhat surprised: "Let her co in."
Soon, Madam Wang was brought inside.
There was still anger on her face, but she only barely managed to hold it back in front of Ye Muyu.
"Third Brother’s Wife." Madam Wang, upon entering and seeing Ye Muyu’s calm gaze, finally cald down sowhat and awkwardly scratched her head.
