After breakfast, Ye Muyu and Madam Hu prepared the gifts to be sent home. Zhang Shu and Lu Chuan helped to carry them to the carriage.
Chu Heng told Ziluo and Lil’ Jin to change their clothes and go to the Ye residence.
“Master, Madam, the wine, cloth, sugar, pastries, and two pairs of shoes are prepared.” Madam Hu stood at the entrance of the courtyard and watched as
Chu Heng helped Ye Muyu onto the carriage. “I will take care of the house.”
This time, Madam Hu did not go, leaving only Lu Chuan to drive the carriage.
After Ye Muyu got on the carriage, he lifted the curtain and replied, “Thank you for your hard work. We should be back later in the afternoon. If anything happens, we will come back a day later.”
Ye Muyu did not know about the Ye family’s situation. She thought that it was a happy occasion and it should not take too long. However, she did not say it explicitly, so Madam Hu knew what to do.
“Don’t worry, Madam. I understand.” Madam Hu nodded.
“Let’s go.” Chu Heng spoke. Lu Chuan then whipped the horse and the carriage headed in the direction of the village entrance. When they passed by the school, Chu Heng got out of the carriage and asked the teacher for a day off for Chu Jin.
After Chu Heng got into the carriage, Lu Chuan continued to drive.
“Teacher Lin has given you some homework.” As soon as Chu Heng finished speaking, a piece of paper appeared in front of Chu Jin. On it was written homework such as recitation, preparation, and memorization.
Chu Jin’s happy mood was instantly ruined when he saw the homework. “Ah? Why is there so much?”
“You don’t want to do it?” Chu Heng glanced at him, and Chu Jin shuddered. He quickly put the paper into his shirt and shook his head frantically. “I will do it.
Don’t worry.”
“Hmm, not bad.” Only then did Chu Heng let him go.
Chu Jin heaved a sigh of relief and quickly found a corner to hide in. Chu Ziluo went to talk to her too.
“What are you looking at?” Ye Muyu had slept early yesterday and was in better spirits today. Remembering that she had not asked about how Ye Hao was yesterday, she casually found a topic to talk about.
Chu Heng looked up at her with a warm gaze. He placed the book in his hand flat. “The account book.”
Ye Muyu was stunned. She suddenly remembered that she had kept the account book that Luo Qisheng had brought back to the study. She had wanted to wait for Chu Heng to come back before discussing this matter, but she had forgotten.
She was a little hesitant and glanced at Chu Heng, wondering if he had noticed this.
“This account book is…?” She asked tentatively.
“I took it from the study.” Chu Heng’s words shattered Ye Muyu’s hope. She looked up at Chu Heng and saw that Chu Heng’s expression had changed.
Her heart skipped a beat. She deliberated for a moment before saying, “I think it’s too early. I’m not very good at managing accounts.”
Of course, it was a lie that she did not know how to handle accounts. It was true that she was hesitant before.
Seeing that Chu Heng did not answer for a while, Ye Muyu was a little disappointed. She did not know if her words had hurt him.
In the next moment, Chu Heng suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand. He gently pinched the soft flesh of her palm and asked gently, “If Ah Yu doesn’t want to manage it now, then it’s fine. However, as a master, you still have to look at the account book. Otherwise, what if your subordinates falsified the accounts?”
“Isn’t Butler Luo the person you hired? I think he’s quite capable. How could he fake the accounts?” Ye Muyu frowned and was a little worried. She had thought that Luo Qisheng could be trusted. Otherwise, Chu Heng would not have entrusted so many important tasks to him.
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Chu Heng explained with a smile, “Luo Qisheng can be trusted now, but people are always ambitious. We should treat our servants with kindness and power, not just leave them be.. Don’t you agree,
Ah Yu?”
