Chapter 484: Inquire
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Madam Hu waited for Lu Chuan and Chu Heng to leave before coming in to clear the dishes.
“Madam, in the morning, my husband and I planned to collect the last batch of vegetables. After the dried vegetables are dried, the rest of the vegetables will be left for the family to eat and to keep the seeds.”
This was the time to eat vegetables, as large batches of vegetables would be ready for harvest. They would also be made into dried vegetables. It was also a good dish in winter.
The vegetables that could still be eaten in September were the vegetables that were planted later, and the portion was very small.
It was only enough for the family.
“Sure. It just so happens that I don’t need to make ink today.” Ye Muyu thought that since Chu Heng would arrange for people to specially make ink blocks, with his cautious personality, the possibility of leaking it was very small. She only needed time to research better ink.
“Then this servant will go out after cleaning up.” Madam Hu wiped the water on her hands and walked very quickly into the kitchen. In less than 15 minutes, it was cleaned up.
Then, she took her basket and sickle and left with Zhang Shu.
Before Zhang Shu left, he had already fed the cattle, mules, and chickens that were given by some relatives when the shop opened last time. The courtyard was also cleaned up.
In the next few days, Ye Muyu was busy preparing Chu Heng’s necessities.
The village was also considered quiet. Due to the court’s orders, the women in the village did not gather together to gossip. For a time, it was very quiet.
It also made it much more difficult for Madam Zhang and Chu Lin to go out and inquire about the Song family.
One had to admit that Madam Zhang was persistent and really doted on her daughter. If one day were not enough, then two days would do.
Perhaps it was because of Chu Heng’s reminder, but she felt that the Song family was hiding something.
She observed them suspiciously. After a long time, she really saw through some clues.
This afternoon, she was carrying a cloth bag and a pile of peanuts in her palm.
She walked at an extremely fast speed, but her face was a little pale from anger.
She did not even notice that the peanut shells were cracked by her sweat.
She stumbled all the way from the village entrance to her home. She tripped ten times and almost fell. Her feet were covered in dust.
In the Chu residence…
Ye Muyu and Madam Hu were cutting oil paper at home.
Chu Heng was going to take the carriage to the capital city for the examination. Ye Muyu did not know if it would rain on the way, but just in case, she wrapped the carriage with a layer of oil-paper cloth to make a rain cover and put it on the top of the carriage. When it rained, he could put it down. It would be useful.
Ordinary carriages were not waterproof, and the Chu family’s carriage was not waterproof.
“Madam, someone is coming from the old residence.” Zhang Shu opened the courtyard door and ran in after a while, reporting to Ye Muyu who was sitting in the central room.
“Who is it?” Ye Muyu put down the scissors and asked.
“It’s Young Master Chu Sheng,” replied Zhang Shu.
This was Chu Sheng’s first time here. Ye Muyu wondered what had happened. “Did he say anything?” she asked.
“He said that his mother came back and called you over immediately.”
“Yes, I understand.” Ye Muyu stood up and ordered Madam Hu.” Aunt Hu, help me put away these oil paper cloths. I’ll leave tonight’s dinner to you. I’ll go take a look first.’
“Madam, go quickly. I’ll be here at home.” Madam Hu also stood up.
Zhang Shu followed Ye Muyu to the old residence.
Ye Muyu did not bring the two children with her, so Ziluo wanted to come along but was rejected.
Chu Sheng walked aside. As he was unfamiliar with Ye Muyu, he did not know what to say and could only walk forward with his head lowered..
