Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Chuan, who was standing at the side, was a little hesitant. Should he tell Chu Heng what Ye Muyu said?
It seemed like she was complaining about Chu Heng. It was better not to say it, right? Chu Heng would be unhappy if he heard this.
“Don’t be afraid. Although my husband isn’t very good at being a father, he still has his principles.” Ye Muyu smiled.
Madam Hu smiled. This was the first time she heard Ye Muyu say something bad about Chu Heng. However, she naturally only treated it as a joke and would not take it seriously.
“As expected, it’s clean.” Ye Muyu looked at the apron in surprise. She would not have to worry about getting ink on her clothes anymore.
However, she still had to try not to get it on her clothes. After all, if the area was too big, the rice grains would not be able to clean it.
“Madam, this servant will clean it and then it can be dried.”
“Tomorrow, the dried vegetables in the courtyard will also be replaced with new ones. Madam, go and rest early.” Madam Hu bent down to draw water from the well.
Ye Muyu nodded, not wanting to delay Madam Hu’s work.
She called Ziluo to wash up and go to bed.
Ye Muyu also brought some hot water into the east wing to soak her feet.
After soaking his feet, Ye Muyu lay down and went to sleep.
She finished making Chu Heng’s clothes, so she naturally did not need to stay up late to make them.
When Chu Heng came back from the study, he took the remaining hot water from the kitchen and soaked his feet. He looked at Ye Muyu, who was already asleep, and reached out to tuck her hair behind her ears. He looked at Ye Muyu with a thoughtful expression. No one knew what he was thinking.
It was only when the water by his feet turned cold that he suddenly came to his senses.
Noticing his behavior, he smiled and shook his head gently. He wiped his feet casually and went out to pour some water.
He returned to his room, took off his outer clothes, and lay down beside Ye Muyu. He fell asleep with a smile on his face.
The next morning…
After Chu Heng and Chu Jin left for school, Ye Muyu continued to make ink in the morning.
In the morning, Madam Zhang came over.
“What are you doing, Third Sister-in-law?” She smiled as she entered the house.
“I have something good to tell you.”
Ye Muyu stood up. “Congratulations, Sister-in-law.”
Madam Zhang was in a good mood because her daughter’s betrothal gifts and dowry were very prestigious. At least in the village, six taels of betrothal money was the first time. On the way from the old reisdence, she had told many villagers about her daughter’s marriage.
As for the amount of betrothal money, after she “accidentally” spilled the beans, almost the entire village knew about it.
After all, such a matter was a topic that could be discussed for three to four days in the gossipy villagers ‘hearts.
When Madam Zhang saw Ye Muyu, she could not stop smiling. “Thank you, Third Sister-in-law. Speaking of which, this matter is also thanks to Third
Brother.”
“In the future, when Song Lu becomes a son-in-law, he will be able to communicate with Third Brother. This is what the Song family is planning.
That’s why they agreed to pay six taels of silver.”
“You don’t know, but the Song family is very smart. They clearly agreed on six taels before, but in the end, they directly wrote six strings on the betrothal gift. Isn’t this playing tricks?”
Madam Zhang first ridiculed the Song family, then happily persuaded the Song family to change it to six taels, and at the same time, she praised Chu Heng. She even said that Madam Liu used Chu Heng as an excuse to convince Madam Huang to agree to the betrothal money.
“Third Sister-in-law, don’t you think we should thank Third Brother for this?”
Ye Muyu knew that the Song Family must have wanted to befriend Chu Heng before agreeing to the marriage.
Madam Zhang was willing to point this out, which was a sign of sincerity. Ye Muyu thought that she would not point this out and secretly take advantage of him..
