Chapter 42: Rebuttal
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In Ye Muyu’s previous life, she had spent a lot of money on studying, but in this era, the imperial examinations were even more expensive.
Since she had become the other party’s wife, in ancient times, where one’s prosperity and one’s loss were all together, if Chu Heng was good, her honor would also come. Of course, she did not have the habit of relying entirely on men. She also had to make preparations to prevent the marriage from changing and men from marrying concubines.
Ye Muyu took the silver and started to think about how to earn money.
Chu Heng saw that she was deep in thought and thought that she was thinking about something bad again. He could not help but say, “Fifteen taels, three months. I want to see you take good care of the two children. If Ziluo is still so thin and Xiao Jin still has the same bad habits the next time you come back, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“I believe that Father and Mother can raise the two children well.” Ye Muyu raised her head and glanced at him, then retorted casually.
Chu Heng froze as he turned around. He did not expect Ye Muyu to reply to him with such words. He was furious and stared at Ye Muyu. He hoped that Ye Muyu would take back his words.
Ye Muyu looked back at him sincerely but did not say a word.
Chu Heng was so angry that his expression changed slightly. He snorted coldly and lay down on his side, not saying a word.
Ye Muyu took the silver and put it into the money box.
Now, she had more than 20 taels of silver. It was muCh better than she had imagined.
After keeping the silver, Ye Muyu lay down and went to sleep.
The bed was not big, but Ye Muyu slept soundly because Chu Heng turned sideways and was a few inches away from her.
She could clearly feel that Chu Heng did not want to get close to her.
‘That’s good.’
Ye Muyu thought to herself, ‘This is much better than touching.’
The next morning, Ye Muyu woke up early.
She got up and cooked some porridge, stir-fried some vegetables, and added some pickles for breakfast.
After breakfast, Chu Heng got up and asked the two children, “Have you all packed your luggage?”
“Once you’re done packing, follow me to your grandfather’s house.”
Chu Ziluo and Chu Jin stood there obediently.
“Father, I’m done packing,” Chu Ziluo whispered.
Chu Jin did not dare to raise his head. “Father, I still have some things to pack.
He fell asleep after washing his feet last night and forgot to tidy up. He slept until dawn in the morning and felt his wrists sore. He did not want to move even more and had completely forgotten about going to the old mansion. Chu Heng walked in front. “Then go pack.”
Chu Jin quickly followed.
Chu Ziluo wanted to follow him, but she did not move. She turned around and looked at Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu nodded. “Go.”
Chu Ziluo happily followed him.
Ye Muyu saw that Chu Heng had the intention to teach her son, so she did not interfere. She put away the dishes and went into the kitchen to wash them. After cleaning up the kitchen, she drank the medicine.
She then turned around and entered the east wing.
She took out two pieces of silver from her purse and kept them for future use.
She looked through the cloth at home and found only some green cloth and brown cloth that Chu Heng used to make clothes.
Chu Heng had a total of three rolls of cloth that he had not used yet. The brown color was a little dark yellow, and she felt that Chu Heng did not like this color.
She found two rolls of cloth and two bags of sugar. They did not have any tea leaves left, so she needed to buy them later.
Ye Muyu prepared everything that she could.
Walking to the window of the west wing, Ye Muyu said to Chu Heng, who was teaching Chu Jin to pack his luggage, “I’ll go out for a while, and I’ll go with you.”
“Mother, where are you going? I’ll go too.”
Chu Heng agreed.
Ye Muyu agreed to Chu Ziluo’s request and held her hand as they walked toward the street..
