Editor:Â EndlessFantasy Translation
âAlright, letâs go pack the food. Iâm hungry.â Ye Muyu was calm and still had the mood to eat delicious food.
Su Mei bowed and went to the kitchen to give instructions.
On the other hand, Su Lan looked at her in surprise.
âHelp me call Tang Dongfeng in,â Ye Muyu ordered.
No matter how curious Su Lan was, she did not dare to ask.
Not long after, Tang Dongfeng arrived.
Ye Muyu gave him the silver box. âTake this silver and go to Yuzhou City to see if thereâs a suitable shop to buy it.â
âGet an estate too. As long as itâs within a dayâs journey from Yuzhou, itâs fine.â
âI donât know the prices of goods in Yuzhou City either. You can ask around. If you have enough money, you can buy another estate or shop.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
There were three thousand taels of silver in the silver box. It was a portion of the money she had earned from the cosmetics shop and the bookstore.
Tang Dongfeng quickly took it and left without saying anything.
âMadam, the Young Miss is here. She wants to have dinner with you.â
âSure,â Ye Muyu smiled and waited for Ziluo to arrive before eating.
âMother, I know that the food in your courtyard is the best.â Chu Ziluo sat beside her and said happily.
âWhereâs your brother?â Ye Muyu asked as she scooped some soup for her.
âHe went to the city to play in the afternoon. He was almost exhausted, so he went to eat and rest.â
âWhy didnât you go too?â Ye Muyu was curious.
âMother, I want to go with you.â Chu Ziluo stuck out her tongue.
âMother will be busy for a while, so youâll have to wait. If you want to go out, ask Madam Hu to bring you out. Donât go alone.â
âMother, then Iâll go with Madam Hu. I wonât disturb you.â Chu Ziluo had always been well-behaved. The reason why she came to accompany her mother at night was because she heard that there was a new person in the residence and wanted to snatch her motherâs position.
She did not want someone else to be her mother, but she was afraid that her mother would be sad, so she found an excuse to come over.
After dinner, Ye Muyu took out a book and read it to her daughter.
Time passed quickly and it was time to sleep. Ye Muyu saw that the little servant girl was sleepy and unwilling to leave, so she called the servant girl to carry her back.
âMadam, are you going to sleep now?â Su Mei walked in and closed the wide-open window slightly.
Ye Muyu shook his head. âIâm not sleepy. You guys go down and take a nap.â
After sending the maids away, Ye Muyu picked up her brush and wrote down the shopâs plan.
In the front courtyardâ¦
Chu Heng was busy until late at night.
âMaster, are you going to the rear courtyard to rest?â Lu Chuan asked softly.
âWhat time is it now?â Chu Heng rubbed his brows.
âItâs a quarter past nine.â
âItâs so late. Iâll rest in the study roomâ¦â
When Lu Chuan heard this, he realized that Chu Heng had completely forgotten about Madam. These days, Chu Heng had been resting in the study and had not thought about what to say.
âMaster, Madam just arrived today. Arenât you going to take a look?â He quickly reminded Chu Heng.
Normally, Lu Chuan would not have the guts to do so. However, he was afraid that Chu Heng would regret it after he regained his memory. If he did not remind him now, he would be the one to be punished in the future.
Chu Heng was silent for a moment before he left the study and headed to the rear courtyard,
Lu Chuan heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that he had gone over, he quickly ordered the servants to clean up the place. He had to let Chu Heng see Ye Muyu today. Otherwise, what if Ye Muyu got angry?
When Chu Heng arrived, he saw that there was still light in the room.
His appearance surprised and delighted Su Mei and the other maids. Just as they were about to speak, Chu Heng raised his hand to stop them.
âGo get a basin of hot water.â
