Chapter 940: Rain

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Muyu did not waste any time either. She didn’t bring her period band. The longer she delayed, the worse her condition would be.

She rode her horse back slowly.

Halfway there, she saw the sky getting darker and darker. She heard a clap of thunder and a spring rain poured down.

“Madam, what should we do?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ye Muyu did not expect it to rain halfway. Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, she looked around and asked, “You’re a guard of the Marquis’ residence. Do you know where there are farmers nearby? Let’s go and hide from the rain first.”

“Madam, please follow me.” The guard hurriedly led the way.

After about 15 minutes…

Ye Muyu was already drenched. Finally, she saw a family on a small hill.

The area around Luoping Pass was vast and sparsely populated. More than ten miles away was an important pass, and there were very few residents.

Ye Muyu did not waste any time. When she reached the thatched cottage, she quickly dismounted. The guards had already knocked on the door. An old woman walked out and looked at the two of them with a cautious look.

“Auntie, I’m sorry. We came from Luoping County to ride horses. Who knew that it would suddenly rain, so we thought of coming over to stay for a while. When the rain stops, we’ll leave immediately.” Ye Muyu took out a corner of silver from her waist and handed it to her.

Perhaps it was because of Ye Muyu’s sincere gaze and the knife in the guard’s hand.

The old woman hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

After entering the house, Ye Muyu told the guard to go rest.

She walked to the old woman’s side and said somewhat embarrassed, “Ma’am, I have something I need your help with.”

“Miss, if you have anything to say, just say it. Since I’ve asked you to stay, you naturally need help. I’ll try my best.”

Ye Muyu heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the woman was kind, so she quickly told her about the need for her period.

Realization dawned on the woman, and she reached out to bring her into the room where she was sleeping.

“Miss, only my son and husband are here. I don’t have a clean menstrual band. I can only make one for you now.”

“Thank you, Ma’am.” Ye Muyu hurriedly thanked her.

Perhaps it was because she saw that her embarrassed expression was genuine, the suspicion in the old woman’s heart dissipated.

“You’re welcome. My daughter is about your age, but she’s already married.”

Ye Muyu replied, “Actually, I am also married. It was only because my big brother was in the Shen family army and something happened that my parents and I came to visit.”

“The Shen family’s army? General Shen is a good person and would never disturb the lives of us commoners. He even kept Luoping Pass very safe, otherwise our family would not dare to stay here.”

“My big brother said the same thing.” Ye Muyu smiled.

She noticed that when the Shen family army was mentioned, the old woman did not have her guard up at all and even praised the Shen family army. No wonder Chu Heng once said that the Shen family army had a good reputation.

As a result, some of the officials in the court were unhappy.

About an hour later…

Ye Muyu had changed into a clean menstrual band and even changed her clothes.

She casually wrapped the riding uniform with some cloth.

When she left the house, she saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier. She was a little worried and did not know what was going on at the princess’ side.

“Miss, don’t worry. This spring rain will stop soon.” The old woman sat at the door, sewing and smiling.

Ye Muyu knew that she could not do anything, so she was not in a rush.

She sat under the eaves and watched the old woman work. She chatted with her at the same time. “Ma’am, I see that your place is all hillside. It doesn’t seem like you can grow any food.”
