Chapter 1270: Chapter 1267: Cold Noodles
The wife, who usually wore a light smile on her face, was now slightly bowing her head, looking upset.
He had a knack for reading people’s hearts and decisively reached out to pull her back.
He placed his hand on her waist and, without waiting for her to speak, they walked outside together.
“Alright, from now on I will tell you everything,” Chu Heng admitted he might have made a mistake and took the initiative to promise.
Sure enough, seeing her who was just downcast, now she was happily lifting her head, “Mm, let’s agree on that, otherwise I might keep things from you too.”
Ye Muyu’s mood changed as quickly as it came, and when she left the house, she was obviously in a good mood, her lips still curled in a smile.
It was Chu Heng, however, who upon hearing her last remark, felt very uncomfortable and suddenly understood where he had gone wrong.
After breakfast.
Chu Heng said, “The position at the Ministry of Personnel will be filled by a teacher, Mother, Ah Yu, pick some gifts later and send them to the Huo family.”
“Lord Huo is being transferred to the Ministry of Personnel?” Madam Liu was somewhat surprised as she didn’t quite understand the official circle, but she had a good impression of the Huo family because of Chu Heng’s connection and knew they were a family to befriend. “Is this a promotion or what?”

“Outwardly the official rank hasn’t changed, but in reality, it’s a promotion, the Ministry of Personnel manages official promotions, which is quite important,” explained Chu Heng.
Ye Muyu: “Moreover, Grand Minister Qi of the Ministry of Personnel has been placed under house arrest and cannot attend the morning court or handle government affairs for three months. Lord Huo has already spent many years in the Hanlin Academy and is capable. Now is just the right time for him to enter the Ministry of Personnel. By the time Grand Minister Qi returns, he will have already gotten the hang of it.”
“Didn’t Duke Zheng try to secure this position?” Ye Muyu asked, somewhat surprised.
Chu Heng shook his head: “It’s not that he didn’t want it, but that he couldn’t get it.”
Ye Muyu instantly understood; the Emperor must be trying to maintain balance.
However, Duke Zheng’s power should not be underestimated.
Chu Heng said, “However, the original position of Grand Scholar of the Hanlin Academy has been taken up by one of Duke Zheng’s disciples.”
It’s clear that Duke Zheng is not entirely at a disadvantage; on the contrary, he handles himself with ease in the court and has not been cornered.
This matter caused no stir within the Chu family; Chu Heng continued to attend court. The Ministry of Revenue was very busy every day, and although Chu Heng had solved previous problems by sending grain and fodder to the Northern Region, and the battle was not entirely losing, it was a good sign; still, he remained vigilant.
After all, the deputy generals sent to the Northern Region were still from the Qi family and the Liu family. Although Luo Zhisheng was an accident, it did not mean the crisis in the Northern Region had been resolved.
Thinking about the previous life, where the struggle for power between the two families led to untimely support for the soldiers in the Northern Region, causing losses, a chill ran through him.
Ye Muyu was unaware of his thoughts but noticed that he was becoming busier.
She had recovered quite a bit and had originally planned to cook herself to treat him, but Madam Liu, having heard of it, wouldn’t agree to it under any circumstance.
Ye Muyu could only stay in the kitchen, personally directing, but not cooking herself.
“Lady, the chicken soup is ready, would you like to try it?” the Kitchen Maid brought a bowl of chicken soup to Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu, who was accustomed to tasting the food, nodded her head and cooled the chicken soup. “Has all the chicken been taken out to make cold shredded chicken?”
“Lady, don’t worry, the cold noodles are also ready, just need to be mixed,” Madam Hu said with a smile.
Business at the eatery had stabilized, and with Ye Muyu’s appetite improving, Madam Hu had been called back.
