“Thank you for your concern, Madam.”

“This lowly one thanks Madam for bestowing the medicine.” Zhang Shu also bowed.

“Madam, this servant will protect Young Miss well in the future.” Nenya also knelt and bowed.

Ye Muyu raised her hand to help Madam Hu up. “Alright, stop bowing. Zhang Cong was only frightened because he was protecting Xiao Jin. I won’t leave him alone.”

“This is for the child’s health.” Ye Muyu gave him a piece of silver, which was worth two taels. It was enough for Zhang Cong to recuperate.

Madam Hu was shocked and quickly waved her hand to refuse. “Madam, you can’t. You’ve already paid for the medicine. Madam has been good to this servant’s family. This servant will remember it in her heart. We can’t push our luck.”

“You’re someone close to me. This is a reward for you. Take it and go buy some delicious food for the child. Don’t let the child be haunted by this experience.” Ye Muyu also had the intention of making the Hu couple pay attention to Zhang Cong.

Madam Hu and Zhang Shu looked at each other. Both of them were so touched that their eyes were watery. They insisted on kowtowing twice before accepting the silver.

After that, Madam Hu and Zhang Shu brought Zhang Cong back to the room where they slept. They used a wooden board as a bed so that it was convenient to take care of him.

Of course, they were also afraid of disturbing Chu Jin.

Ye Muyu did not stop them. After tucking Chu Jin to sleep, Ye Muyu and Ziluo returned to their respective rooms.

After a good night’s rest, Ye Muyu woke up early the next morning.

After breakfast, Ye Muyu suddenly felt uneasy.

She rubbed her face and washed it with water. After thinking for a while, she called Han Zhuang to the county to ask for information.

“Madam, this is the puppy that Master asked someone to find. He said that it can be kept at home to prevent thieves.” In the morning, Zhang Shu brought back a puppy from outside the door.

Ye Muyu saw that the dog was not shy with strangers. It was circling around her skirt as soon as it was brought back, making her smile. “This dog is so sensible. Whose house did you get it from?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I brought it back from the butcher’s house in the neighboring village. Previously, Master had always asked me to pay attention to it. See, today, the butcher sent the puppy over.”

“Are there any cats?” Ye Muyu asked Madam Hu to bring some meat soup for Chu Jin and Zhang Cong to feed the puppy.

“Yes. There’s one in the village,” Zhang Shu thought for a moment and nodded.

“Help me buy a kitten.” Ye Muyu gave him money.

Zhang Shu turned around and went out to buy cats.

Madam Hu was also watching the dog being fed. When Ye Muyu finished speaking, she walked over. “Madam, what should I prepare for lunch?” “Just make something simple. Steam some eggs for the children.”

“Alright.”

“Excuse me, is this the home of Scholar Chu?” At this moment, a respectful and polite voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

When Madam Hu heard this, she quickly walked to the courtyard door. She glanced through the crack in the door. It was an old woman she did not know. She asked directly through the door: “Who are you?”

“This servant is an old woman serving Madam Du of Lingyu Shop. Today, I’m here to invite Madam Chu to our house as a guest.” The other party directly stated her purpose of visit and identity. “A few days ago, my mistress had already sent an invitation to Madam Chu.”

When Madam Hu heard this, she opened the courtyard door.

With Ye Muyu’s instructions, Madam Hu first brought the old woman of the Du family in.

Ye Muyu personally received her. After all, she was Du Heng’s mother’s servant. Du Heng had a good relationship with Chu Heng, so she naturally treated her with courtesy.

Old Madam Sun took the tea after bowing. It was obvious that she was well-mannered. “Madam Chu, this is the invitation that our mistress has

officially sent you..”
