Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife-Chapter 1124 - 1121: Going to South State

Chapter 1124: Chapter 1121: Going to South State

Xiang Ling’er’s face flushed with embarrassment. She had wanted to help her sister-in-law wholeheartedly but had not anticipated that the Du family didn’t have enough silver to purchase the medicinal herbs her sister-in-law needed. She blurted it out without thinking, which made her feel very saddened.

However, she quickly composed herself, afraid that Ye Muyu would worry if she noticed. She nodded in agreement, “Sister-in-law, I will contact my husband, and he will send the herbs back as soon as possible. Don’t worry, as for the silver, I will find a way to get it to him.”

“Thank you, Xiang Ling’er,” Ye Muyu gently touched her forehead.

Xiang Ling’er looked at her with a smile, “Sister-in-law, I’m so glad I could help you.”

“You need to look after your health and don’t worry about other things. You can have the servants send me a message,” Ye Muyu said, stroking her stomach, not wanting her to work too hard.

Two days later.

...

Ye Muyu received a letter from Du Heng, learning that the first batch of medicinal herbs he shipped was about to arrive. She was elated and immediately called for Steward Luo to wait at the docks, to confirm the quantity, and purchased all of them. Then she had her own merchant ship deliver the herbs directly.

She wrote several letters to Du Heng.

Learning that his trade routes in the northwest region were not disrupted and that there happened to be an abundant harvest of herbs, she directly listed the medicinal herbs she needed.

That day,

Ye Muyu boarded the ship as well.

Upon arrival in Nan State,

One day later.

The cargo ship docked at the port of South State at night, and Ye Muyu emerged from the cabin to be met by the Deputy General in charge of guarding the dock.

Vice General Yao approached, and upon seeing Ye Muyu, still wielding his saber, said, “Madam, may I know which family you belong to?”

“Greetings, General. My wife is Lord Chu Heng’s lady,” returned a voice.

“So it’s Lord Chu’s wife. Greetings, my lady. I am Yao Nan, serving in Yuzhou. Lord Chu has assigned me to oversee the defenses here. For what reason does the lady visit today?” Yao Nan immediately paid respects to Ye Muyu, and his attitude became much warmer.

Ye Muyu replied, “These are medicinal herbs I have brought over, which might help the people of South State.”

“The lady is kind-hearted. The people of South State will surely overcome this difficult time. However, South State is currently under martial law. I will take charge of these herbs and ensure they’re safely delivered to South State City to Lord Chu,” he assured her.

Ye Muyu thought for a moment then, after giving a bow to Yao Nan, said, “General, I wish to enter South State.”

“What?” Yao Nan was extremely shocked. “My lady, you must not go in. No one is allowed to enter South State at this time.”

“I understand that I am putting you in a difficult position, General, but once I enter, I will not leave until South State’s epidemic is under control,” Ye Muyu said after bowing. “I ask for the General’s consideration.”

“My lady, yet the epidemic in South State is severe. You are delicate and may fall ill if you enter. Should anything happen, how would I explain it to Lord Chu?” Yao Nan hastily advised, never expecting someone would come seeking to put themselves in danger.

Ye Muyu shook her head, “No need to persuade me, General. I have already made my decision. Please allow me to pass.”

Sighing lightly, Yao Nan eventually gave in, but not without providing her with a handkerchief and other items.

Ye Muyu disembarked from the ship, where a carriage was ready below. The herbs were loaded onto the carriage, and she boarded. She didn’t bring any maidservants on this trip; uncertain whether Lu Sangqi’s medicine would cure the epidemic, she didn’t want to risk their safety.

After climbing into the carriage, two soldiers led the way.

Following behind were the carts carrying the goods. They entered Yuzhou City through a side gate, which was only accessible from the dock area, where no more refugees could be found.
