Chapter 2080: Chapter 2077: Support
She was certainly worried about Chu Heng, not wanting him to suffer grievances, nor did she want anything to happen to him.
But the matter of cement wasn’t just because of Chu Heng; it also involved the potential consequences due to the value of cement itself.
Chu Heng rubbed her head and pulled her to sit on the chair placed beside them.
The two of them were so engaged with each other that they didn’t notice the craftsmen and laborers in the courtyard showing unusual expressions.
At first, they recognized Ye Muyu’s identity as a woman.
After all, there were still differences in figure between men and women.
Ye Muyu wasn’t entirely disguised.
These people only thought she was an ordinary female steward who came for business convenience.
With Lu Chuan suppressing them, no one dared to gossip.
But now seeing Ye Muyu holding hands with Chu Heng, each one of them immediately had some misunderstanding thoughts. Didn’t they say Lord Chu and Madam Chu had a good relationship!
Why was Lord Chu so intimate with the female steward!
Could it be that the rumors were false?
No matter what they thought in their hearts, they didn’t show it on their faces.
Ye Muyu, with her back turned, was talking to Chu Heng, and naturally didn’t notice.
“If you really want to use it, you needn’t worry too much,” Chu Heng said softly. It seemed like a casual remark, but to Ye Muyu, it felt reassuring.
Ye Muyu scratched her head, “I think anything will do. Actually, using stone is fine, or I could just follow everyone else and build a corridor.”
Ye Muyu thought it over and still didn’t want to take risks. Life was already pretty good, and bringing out one more thing, something so magical, might not please that one above. They might even think of her as some kind of deity.
But was a deity more noble, or was the Emperor?
Wouldn’t this be offending the Emperor?
“Ah Yu, have you ever thought that retreating doesn’t ensure our well-being?” Chu Heng suddenly said.
Actually, after his rebirth, because he had family he wanted to protect, he took smaller steps and was more cautious, just in case his family was harmed and implicated.
But now, seeing that Ye Muyu’s good intentions, something that could bring development to the people, had to be restrained, he felt somewhat unhappy.
Since he had no rebellious intentions and didn’t plan to confront that one above, why fear? They should face difficulties head-on!
“You’re right,” Ye Muyu sat up straight. Her heart, which yearned for freedom, couldn’t just keep retreating like this. She would rather break as jade than survive as pottery.
“The more we retreat, the more others think we’re easy to bully.”
“Only when we’re strong can we pursue a freer world. Even in Great Chu, what’s there to fear?”
“So, listen to me, I can invent this thing,” Chu Heng looked at her fondly, playing with her fingers, interlocking them occasionally.
Ye Muyu’s enthusiastic mood gradually calmed down. Looking at Chu Heng, she foolishly smiled, yes, there was also Chu Heng. With his clever mind, he could certainly bee more and more important in the court.
By then, the Chu family would be as fortified as an iron barrel, unafraid of schemes. Even the Emperor couldn’t easily make a move against them. After all, there wasn’t just one Chu family in the court; they weren’t the ones truly harboring wolf-like ambitions.
Oh, she was being too cautious!
After prehending this, Ye Muyu felt incredibly happy.
“Hmm, so let’s give it a try?”
“But as for kiln firing, well, luckily this garden is at the tail end of South City, very quiet nearby, so the firing can be managed.”
