Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The sky was already dark, and the snow had stopped falling. In winter in Jiangnan, it did not snow for long, and it did not even snow often.
âThis servant doesnât dare.â Su Mei became even more nervous.
Ye Muyu was speechless.
She felt that this method would not work, so she gently told a story about the harmonious co-existence between master and servant.
Slowly, Su Mei became less nervous and her conversation with Ye Muyu became more natural.
âMadam, today is the first winter snow and the weather has turned cold. This servant heard from the old nanny that it is not cold when it snows, but it is cold when it melts. At night, this servant will put two braziers in the room, is that okay?â
âSure. When the time comes, open a hole in the window to prevent it from being too smelly.â
âBy the way, do you have quilts in the servantsâ room?â Ye Muyu asked as she walked along the corridor to the dining room.
âMadam, the servants have some winter bedding.â Su Mei did not expect Madam to care about whether she was cold or not, and the smile on her face widened a little.
Ye Muyu nodded. âThatâs good. If itâs too cold, go to Butler Luo. Donât catch a cold. Instead of spending the money on medicine, itâs better to wear thicker clothes and feel better.â
This was the first time Su Mei had heard such comments. Actually, everyone understood in their hearts, but as servants, how could they dare to say such things? Naturally, they would try their best not to get sick and delay their work. She only felt that Ye Muyu had a good personality, which made her feel uneasy and calm down.
Ye Muyu soon arrived at the dining room.
âMother.â When Chu Jin saw her at the door, he rushed over like a small cannon. âMother, youâre finally back. The school will be closed tomorrow. Can I play in the snow when I wake up in the morning?â
âIf you wear thicker clothes, you wonât catch a cold and you can go play.â Ye Muyu patted his head and led him inside. âHave you been obedient to your grandparents these days?â
âYes, Mother. Iâm not a bad child. Iâm very obedient.â
âThe teacher often praises me in school.â Chu Jin pouted arrogantly and tugged at the hem of her clothes, acting coquettishly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOh?â Ye Muyu asked with a smile. âWhat did the teacher praise you for?â
âThe teacher said that I have a unique perspective and that I did well in my homeworkâ¦The teacher even asked me to take the lead in reading.â
Ye Muyu knew that her son was treated well in the school.
He also went to Class C of the Academy.
There were three classes in Class C.
There was a childrenâs class inside, where children between the ages of six to nine were in the class.
The dean thought highly of Chu Heng, so he naturally took care of Lilâ Jin.
However, the child did not disappoint the dean either, so he was able to be accepted. The deanâs personality was not too biased.
âThatâs great.â Ye Muyu knew what was going on and praised her son.
Chu Jin walked even more briskly.
âAh Yu, youâre here. Come inside. Itâs cold outside.â Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen were already sitting at the dining table.
They were all family, so there were no rules.
âMother, Iâve troubled you for this period of time.â Ye Muyu walked over with a smile and sat down beside him. âI brought some gifts for you. Iâve already sent them to your rooms. Weâll take a look after dinner.â
âYou went out to get busy and even prepared gifts for us. Youâre just not afraid of trouble. You keep thinking about us wherever you go.â
Chu Jin also climbed onto the stool. âGrandma, Mother must be missing us. Weâre a family.â
The childâs words made everyone laugh uncontrollably.
