Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 949: Didn’t Come Back

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Muyu waited for a long time, but he still didn’t return.

“It seems that the trouble above hasn’t been resolved yet. Did you bring any rice noodles?” Ye Muyu frowned and turned to Su Mei.

“Madam, I brought it.” Su Mei quickly nodded.

“Then let’s not go out. We’ll cook our own rice noodles.”

There was still some firewood in the cellar. Although there was only a small stove, it was enough.

Night soon fell.

Only then did Ye Muyu send someone out again.

Perhaps it was dark at night, so no one noticed him when he went out. After a while, the coachman returned.

“Madam, many people have been captured outside. They are still at the Marquis’ residence. Even the marquis and the princess have been captured. This lowly one did not dare to get close, and I don’t know where Han Zhuang is.”

When Ye Muyu heard this, his heart sank. It seemed that the entire Luoping County was in the hands of the Luo Kingdom’s people. If they captured Lord Marquis, they would probably threaten the Shen family’s army.

“Let’s continue to stay here.” Ye Muyu sighed lightly. Now that the city gates were closed and they had hostages, she did not know how long it would take for the Shen family’s army to break in.

“Did you see Ye Zhao leave the city gate yesterday?” Ye Muyu asked after a moment of silence.

“Madam, we did hear what he said. He still has some rations and said that he would go to the military camp to look for you.”

“But we did not see him leave the city gate with our own eyes.”

Ye Muyu frowned. She was worried. If Ye Zhao was still in the county, the possibility of him being caught was very high. Moreover, he had never returned, so it was very likely.

However, it was also possible that he had directly left the city gate and would not return.

Now, she could only hope that Ye Zhao would be smarter. Even if he was caught, he should not resist the Luo Kingdom’s people. Those who resisted were basically dead.

“Madam, don’t worry. He is very smart. Nothing will happen to him.” Su Mei saw that she was very worried and quickly comforted her.

Ye Muyu nodded and did not say anything.

With Ye Zhao’s condition unknown, Ye Muyu was very worried and could not sleep for a while.

Just like that, she stayed up all night.

As for Ye Zhao, who Ye Muyu was worried about…

At this moment, he had just crawled out of a dog hole. He did not care about his sorry state and quickly filled the dog hole with grass.

Then, he ran up the mountain for six hours.

They had only reached the military camp.

His feet were covered in blisters. He did not care about the pain and hurriedly took out his identity token to avoid being shot.

“I’m Ye Hao’s younger brother. I want to see the Young General.”

The soldier did not bring him to see Shen Qin but to see General Shen instead.

He looked at the generals entering and leaving the tent.

Ye Zhao also reacted. This was not the Young General’s tent at all.

When he was brought into the tent, he saw General Shen who was wearing armor and standing at the head of the table. Ye Zhao felt his legs go weak and quickly knelt down. “This commoner greets the General.”

“Get up. You are Ye Hao’s younger brother?” General Shen asked with a frown. “Why are you here now?”

Ye Zhao naturally did not dare to hide it. It was just that in front of General Shen, he spoke a little nervously, “General Shen, this commoner is from Luoping County.”

As soon as he said this, the other generals in the tent instantly looked at him with burning gazes.

“I came out from the county through a dog hole last night when it was dark,” Ye Zhao became even more nervous.

“General Shen, a group of people from the county rushed in to kill and rob. You guys go and save them. My sister is still in the county,” Ye Zhao said anxiously.

“Tell me what happened first.”

Ye Zhao naturally did not dare to hide it and told him how he escaped.
