Chapter 115: Gift?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Chu Ziluo had chosen the pastries, Ye Muyu paid the money and led her out.
“Mother, where are we going?” Chu Ziluo hugged the pastries in her arms and asked obediently.
“There’s nothing else to do. I’ll send you to see your father.” Ye Muyu had wanted to go to the cattle farm to ask, but she felt a little guilty that she did not see Chu Heng. After all, this man was her husband in name. Besides, Madam Liu would definitely ask her about it later. If she suddenly showed that she did not care about Chu Heng, as Chu Heng’s mother, Madam Liu would be unhappy. Especially since she had changed so much, everyone was already a little confused. Moreover, this era was an era where husbands were the most important. Although it was against the concept of equality between men and women, she would not dream of overthrowing the entire feudal era with her own strength.
If she really did that, she would be courting death.
Moreover, the way she and Chu Heng were treating each other was already a
pretty good state.
“Mother, would father like us to see him?” Chu Ziluo was a little timid. Ye Muyu nodded. She felt that she was right about this. “Your father still loves you very much.”
“Oh.”
“Then what gifts should we give Father? This time, we came in a hurry and did not bring anything.”
Ye Muyu was stunned for a moment. She did not seem to have prepared anything for Chu Heng.
“Why don’t we buy a set of ready-made clothes for your father?”
“Mother, ready-made clothes are very expensive. It’s better for us to make them ourselves. We’ll give them to Father next time.” Chu Ziluo was very frugal. She wished she could break a copper coin and use it as two.
Ye Muyu did not say anything.
It was not that she was reluctant to part with the silver in her hands, but she needed to do business in the future. She was afraid that she would need a lot of silver to invest. Moreover, they still had two rolls of cloth at home. It would be a pity if she did not use them.
In the end, Ye Muyu bought a simple hairpin for Chu Heng as a gift.
The distance to the academy was not too far. When the two of them arrived, there were not many people on the streets outside the academy. They had not left school yet, and the academy had specially chosen a quieter street.
As a result, the first thing Ye Muyu saw was Tang Rou, who had just left the school gate.
Ye Muyu was not surprised to see Tang Rou leave, but she felt a little disgusted by Tang Rou’s actions. No matter what, Chu Heng was still her husband. Being targetted by outsiders would inevitably lead to a mistake.
At that time, she would really welcome a concubine into the family.
Thinking about how she might live a life of internal strife, Ye Muyu felt even more disgusted with Tang Rou.
For some reason, she felt that living in the countryside now was quite good.
Ye Muyu only had these thoughts for a moment. Seeing Tang Rou leave, she did not plan to question her but just pretended she did not exist.
She stood at the entrance of the academy.
Ye Muyu took out a few copper coins from her waist and stuffed them into Uncle Liu’s hand. “Uncle, I’m looking for Student Chu Heng. When will the class end?”
She had never thought that she would be able to call Chu Heng out now.
Anyway, she wanted to give it a try. She had come with Chu Xing and Madam Liu. They had agreed to wait at the city gate. No matter what, they would return to the village before noon.
It was good to see Chu Heng, but if she could not, she would just give him a gift.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Liu, who was guarding the door, subconsciously asked her,” And you are?”
