Chapter 1063: Chapter 1060 is okay
He was very cooperative and went up to write the reason.
As soon as he left,
the newly appointed Head Liu’s wife glanced down, and a maidservant named Cuilu also curiously stretched her head to see. Those who could do this work had to be literate.
“This is going to Aunt Lin’s place. Just this morning, Aunt Lin was grounded by the master…,” Cuilu whispered.
Head Liu closed the book, “Don’t speculate wildly. We just need to do our jobs. Both the master and the lady have strong principles. Besides, we haven’t been beaten or scolded. One must be content.”
Cuilu was young, but she was naive and nodded at his words, “I understand.”
When she heard what Steward Luo said about copying the family rules a hundred times, Lin Mianmian almost threw something in front of Steward Luo.
Steward Luo’s expression remained calm, “Aunt Lin, this is the Chu family, please remember your status.”
Lin Mianmian trembled with anger but didn’t dare to offend Steward Luo. She knew he was highly regarded by Chu Heng, and if she offended him, she feared she wouldn’t even be able to hear any news from the front courtyard.
Her days could even become more difficult.
As soon as Steward Luo left, the sound of things being thrown resonated in the room.
Steward Luo hadn’t gone far and heard everything clearly. He reported the incident to Chu Heng as soon as he returned to the front courtyard.
Chu Heng said nothing as if he had not heard anything.
“How are the preparations on the lady’s side?”
Steward Luo also disliked Lin Mianmian. Madam Lin was far more capable and respectful towards him compared to the pretentious Lin Mianmian, and having never faced her scorn, he naturally favored Ye Muyu.
He replied, “The lady just finished managing the inner house’s affairs and should start preparing the meal soon. It will take an hour.”
“Does she cook every day?” Chu Heng frowned.
Steward Luo nodded, “Indeed, all of Elder Master Zhao’s therapeutic diets are personally prepared by the lady. Therefore, in Yuzhou City, no one dares to trouble the lady easily.”
Even those who are pretty stupid in office know the basic principle of reading facial expressions.
The magistrate of Yuzhou was left in Lower County. In Yuzhou, all the ladies were led by Madam Lin who was trying to trouble Ye Muyu but needed an opportunity for a gathering.
However, the last Mid-Autumn festival banquet ended abruptly due to King Qi’s appearance.
Having missed that chance, they still haven’t found another one.
Ye Muyu usually stayed inside and hardly met the other ladies, naturally reducing conflicts.
“Bring Lil’ Jin and go to the backyard.”
“Yes.”
At that moment, Ye Muyu was in the kitchen.
The therapeutic diet prepared for Elder Master Zhao was light in taste. With added medicinal herbs, it required careful attention to the heat, with little oil and salt, and Ye Muyu meticulously watched over it.
The food cooked for Zhao Qingqing was much simpler, all homestyle dishes made by Ye Muyu. She varied the dishes daily and also included Zhao Qingqing’s favorite sour vinegar fish and double cooked pork.
When Chu Heng and Chu Jin arrived,
Ye Muyu had just prepared half of Zhao Qingqing’s meal.
“Mother, it smells so good.” Chu Jin touched his belly; although he had just had breakfast, the smell of the food made him hungry again, “Mother, can we keep some to eat in the Manor?”
“Which dish do you want to eat?” Ye Muyu asked tenderly.
“I want to eat spicy chicken and meatball soup.”
“Mother, I want to eat sweet and sour fish,” Chu Ziluo also came over, accompanied by Nenya and the slightly older Qiu Xi.
“What does Father want to eat?” Chu Ziluo, always the considerate little darling, looked at her mother’s face before tentatively asking in a soft voice.
Chu Heng’s gaze fell on Ye Muyu, “Anything is fine.”
