Chapter 1343: Chapter 1340 Cute Nuanbao
She played with Nuanbao while talking to the returning Su Mei, “Su Mei, you’re not getting any younger. Do you have someone you like?”
This year Su Mei was already twenty-one, which was considered old among the maidservants.
However, she had previously rejected Ye Muyu’s suggestions.
This time was no exception.
She gently shook her head, “My lady, I don’t fancy anyone, nor do I wish to marry. I want to stay by your side and care for you.”
“You could still take care of me even if you got married,” Ye Muyu did not want such a devoted maidservant like Su Mei to end up lonely in her old age.
Surprised, Su Mei looked up at her, “My lady, could I… could I truly still stay by your side to serve you?”
“I don’t recall ever saying I would send you away,” Ye Muyu laughed.
Su Mei opened her mouth, so overjoyed she didn’t know what to say.
On the contrary, Chun Xing, who was more extroverted, said directly, “My lady, because you mentioned earlier that once Sister Su Mei got married, you would give her the contract.”
“Hmm?” Ye Muyu was puzzled, “Don’t you want to be free?”
In her view, Su Mei had saved quite a bit of silver just from her monthly salary over the years. Although she couldn’t afford a house in the capital after getting married, buying one in the County City near the capital wouldn’t be a problem. Plus, finding a satisfying husband, having children, and given that she really valued Su Mei’s abilities, she was willing to offer her work opportunities.
After that, she would be settled for life.
If it were her, Su Mei, she would definitely want such an opportunity.
But now, Ye Muyu’s way of thinking was still too modern, not aligning with the thinking of ancient people.
Su Mei hesitated for a moment but then firmly shook her head, “I have been sold since I was young, accustomed to serving others. Even if you set me free, I am not capable of doing anything else. I am happy to serve you, my lady.”
“In that case…” Ye Muyu stroked her chin, “it won’t hinder you from getting married. If you don’t mind, you might consider looking at a guard from the residence or a steward from the manor.”
“I will consider it, thank you, my lady,” Su Mei sincerely thanked her. She stepped forward to adjust Ye Muyu’s blanket and tenderly instructed, “My lady, you should rest well. These trivial matters can wait until you have recovered and finished your confinement.”
“Alright,” Ye Muyu yawned, “I am now eating and sleeping so much, I’m almost turning into a pig.”
Chun Xing chuckled, “My lady, aren’t you talking about the Young Master?”
Ye Muyu laughed, but looking at the adorable face beside her, resembling a little pig, her face brightened, “Nuanbao really is a little piggy, isn’t he?”
“The Young Master is a warm man, not a little piggy,” Chun Xing suddenly defended Nuanbao.
Usually, Nuanbao was so well-behaved that besides needing his diaper changed after eating, which made him fuss a bit, he captured the hearts of the maidservants looking after him.
Not surprisingly, Su Mei and Chun Xing, who spent even more time with him daily, had gained such a devoted little fan.
Ye Muyu couldn’t help but smile and poke Nuanbao’s cheek, “It’s hard to believe, you haven’t even grown up yet, and you are already so lovable.”
“My lady, I predict that once the young master gets a bit older, you will find it hard to scold him,” Su Mei said with a laugh from the side.
Her daily tasks now mainly involved caring for Chu Ziluo, so her return at this time was as usual, taking advantage of Ye Muyu being awake to report on Chu Ziluo’s progress.
