Chapter 1087 - 1084: Protection

But only Ye Muyu knew that the Lin family intentionally sent her to the back courtyard, and if she had really gone, she might not have been able to extricate herself.

“Madam Lin is too kind, but I don’t need to change my clothes. These days I’ve been worried about the snow soaking my clothes and making me cold, so I specifically had the embroiderers make me a waterproof garment. This tea, it hasn’t even wet my clothes.”

Ye Muyu stood up and lightly flicked the tea leaves off her clothes with her hand.

The others’ gaze shifted subconsciously to look following her words.

Zhao Qingqing was initially a little angry, but curiosity got the better of her. She leaned over for a closer look and exclaimed, “It really isn’t wet.”

“Madam, what kind of fabric is this?”

“It’s Red Cloud Brocade developed by our own cloth store, its waterproof property is quite good,” Ye Muyu advertised nonchalantly.@@novelbin@@

Madam Lin’s face showed a momentary stasis.

She hadn’t expected Ye Muyu to be wearing waterproof fabric, meaning there was no need for her to change her clothes; her scheme had failed.

Seeing Ye Muyu already conversing with the surrounding ladies and young misses about the merits of the fabric, utterly unbothered, Madam Lin’s heart sank.

It was unclear whether to call the other deep-thinking or naive.

But if it were naivety, was it really just a coincidence that she wore waterproof clothes today?

But there are not so many coincidences in the world.

“Madam’s fabric is excellent; it will be more convenient for us when drinking tea in the future, no need to worry about dirtying our clothes and having to change in a hurry,” said Madam Zhao with a smile.

The others nodded along, and the more straightforward among them directly asked Ye Muyu when this fabric would be available in the clothing store.

Ye Muyu naturally wouldn’t turn customers away, “It will be released on the fifteenth of this month. There’s not much Red Cloud Brocade, so the young misses who need it should come.”

“Since Madam Lin’s clothes are not dirty, let’s continue to sit down and listen to the music.”

“Someone, take Miss Zhao down,” Madam Lin ordered with difficulty before leaving.

Zhao Qingqing said to Ye Muyu with a smile. “Sister Ye, I’ll also go buy a bolt of Red Cloud Brocade so I won’t have to worry about running into today’s situation again.”

“I haven’t had my fill yet, what a hassle,” Zhao Qingqing pouted.

“Sister Ye, I’ll go down to change first then,” she said.

Madam Zhao helplessly watched her, and Ye Muyu thought that given the Zhao family’s status, the Lin residence should not offend them, but one can never be too careful.

She looked at Madam Zhao, “Madam Zhao, Qingqing is straightforward. It’s really inconvenient for her to go to the Lin family’s back house. Why don’t you send some more people with her?”

Madam Zhao was a bit surprised, but considering that Ye Muyu had been deliberately targeted by the Lin family since she entered, it was understandable to be cautious.

Indeed, Madam Zhao did not want her daughter to be involved, especially since her daughter was of a marriageable age; there could be no slip-ups. Truly, the Lin residence’s servants were just too unreliable.

“Alright, Mrs. Luo, follow Qingqing and don’t let her out of your sight, and come back as soon as you’re done changing,” Madam Zhao instructed quietly.

A robust-looking woman stepped forward, nodded in agreement, and took Zhao Qingqing to the guest room prepared by the Lin family. Meanwhile, Zhao Qingqing’s maidservants ran to the carriage to fetch their young miss’s dress.

Unexpectedly, halfway there, someone knocked them unconscious and threw them into the bushes.

Zhao Qingqing and Mrs. Luo had long been waiting in the guest room.

“Mrs. Luo, why isn’t Tangyuan coming? My dress is almost dry,” Zhao Qingqing complained, bored to tears while slumping over the table.

Mrs. Luo shook her head, “Miss, I don’t know either.”
