Chapter 1106: Chapter 113 Results
“No one else will try to rope you in, even if they won’t help you, they dare not offend you either.”
Ye Muyu spoke enthusiastically for quite a while.
Chu Heng’s smile deepened as he reached out and touched her head, “My lady speaks correctly.”
Tang Dongfeng never expected their relationship to be so good.
He quickly bowed his head, not daring to look further.
Ye Muyu’s cheeks flushed slightly as she glared at him coyly, “Then, let’s proceed with that.”
...
“See when you can write a letter to the Emperor.” Ye Muyu felt that this matter should be handled sooner rather than later, to avoid dragging it out and making some people desperate.
“I will as soon as possible.”
Since management of water disasters was a major concern for Emperor Xuanming, Chu Heng had Imperial Guards with him, who could help with sending messages quickly.
By the time the letter reached Emperor Xuanming’s desk, New Year’s Eve was approaching.
Recently, Emperor Xuanming was busy dealing with all the memorials, continuously busy for three days with some less important ones, which frustrated him immensely.
Upon receiving the news from the Imperial Guard, he frowned, “Is there another problem in Yuzhou?”
“Probably not, this is a letter from Lord Chu to the Emperor.” The Imperial Guard knelt on the ground, presenting the letter in his hands.
Emperor Xuanming waved his hand, dismissing the Imperial Guard, and casually opened the letter.
After reading the contents clearly, he raised an eyebrow, burned the letter, and penned a reply.
Chu Heng received this letter after the new year, and upon confirming Emperor Xuanming’s agreement, he immediately informed Ye Muyu.
The days after the New Year passed quickly.
As spring began and the snow started to melt, Chu Heng set out again to the County City to manage the water disasters.
After sending him off, Ye Muyu stayed at home with peace of mind, sent Chu Jin to school, and hired a Master to e home and teach Chu Ziluo.
She mentioned her desire to buy the Manor to Tang Dongfeng.
Tang Dongfeng then made a convenient trip to Hui State, taking a whole half month before sending back a message.
Purchasing the Manor, along with its long-term laborers, cost Ye Muyu one thousand and two hundred taels in total.
With the arrival of spring, she arranged for people to go there and plant various vegetables, fruits, and watermelons on the Manor.
Time swiftly passed by, and summer arrived.
One day, Ye Muyu received a letter from Du Heng.
Early in the morning, she took her people to the docks.
“My lady, please wait inside the carriage, and the servant girl will stand on the dock. If Young Master Du arrives, I will e to notify you,” Su Mei spoke.
Seeing that the weather was indeed hot, Ye Muyu handed her an oiled-paper umbrella, “If it’s too hot, find a shaded place to hide.”
“Thank you, my lady,” Su Mei took the umbrella and stepped out.
Ye Muyu sat inside the carriage, fanning herself.
With some books in her hand, she read, “This year the weather is sultry hot, and after some difficulty, the sun has e out, which is a good thing.”
“My lady, indeed, this year there has been too much rain, and rain drizzles throughout the summer,” Chun Xing explained, sitting by the door, she lifted the carriage curtain to look out at the street, “I heard that because of too much rain this year, the watermelons aren’t sweet.”
“That’s why watermelons are very expensive, even more so than last year.”
“I was going to spend silver to buy one, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Next year they must be sweeter, I will save my silver and buy an extra one,” Chun Xing said naively.
Hearing this, Ye Muyu looked outside and sighed softly, “I’m somewhat worried about water rising.”
“Ah…” Hearing this possibility, Chun Xing’s face changed slightly, she clasped her hands in prayer, “It won’t happen, there must be no issues.”
