Chapter 963: Lin Mianmian
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, the others obviously did not intend to let her leave. A soft voice sounded.
“Elder Sister is tired from the long journey. Younger Sister has already instructed the kitchen to boil hot water and prepare food. Elder Sister, Father, and Mother can have a good rest.”
Ye Muyu heard a voice before even seeing who it was from.
Ye Muyu raised her head and saw a lovely girl walking over. She was wearing fine flowery satin, and the pink color made her look even more lively and cute.
Lin Mianmian looked at the woman in front of her. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She had thought that Chu Heng’s wife in the countryside was a vulgar person. At least her skin was rough and definitely not parable to hers.
However, Ye Muyu’s face was so smooth that not a single flaw could be seen. Her eyes were extremely bright as if they could see through her. This made Lin Mianmian very unfortable.
Seeing that Ye Muyu did not answer, she could not hide the arrogance in her voice.
“Or do you not know who I am?”
“I don’t have a younger sister.” Ye Muyu said lightly, “Thank you for serving me. I really need a good bath.”
“Su Mei, go to the kitchen and get some hot water. Send some to Father, Mother, and the children too.”
“Yes, Madam.” Su Mei glanced at Lin Mianmian and saw the fire in the eyes of this new concubine. She was also a little surprised by Ye Muyu’s strength. She actually broke Lin Mianmian’s intention of treating her as the master in two or three sentences.
Lin Mianmian had never been treated like a servant. Even in the Lin family, she was a favored concubine’s daughter.
“Sister, aren’t you going too far? I was kind enough to prepare hot water and food for you. It’s fine if you’re not grateful, but you actually scolded me.” Lin Mianmian did not take Ye Muyu seriously at all, so she naturally would not hide her emotions.
“Oh, you’re smart.” Ye Muyu smiled.
“You… Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Old Master what you’ve done?” Lin Mianmian was so angry that her hands trembled and she pointed at her.
“I don’t like it when people point at me,” Ye Muyu said with a frown. She pinched Lin Mianmian’s fingers and slowly moved them away.
“As for the plaint you mentioned, go ahead if you want.”
Ye Muyu turned around and left.
She felt the anger in her chest increase, and she thought of Lin Mianmian and Chu Heng in her mind.
Once she entered the courtyard, she called Su Lan to tidy up the boxes.
The other servants were familiar with the entire courtyard.
Only then did she enter the house. After waiting for a while, she entered the bathroom, threw her shoes away, and went into the bathtub.
Feeling the scalding hot water touching her skin, she suddenly remembered Chu Heng’s attitude toward her when she first came. He was sarcastic, disliked her, and even secretly said in the clan that he wanted to divorce her.
Toward the end, his voice was gentle and he was very patient with her. His eyes were filled with joy.
Her heart suddenly tightened, and she was even more confused. Could it be that in this era, men must have concubines?
She could not accept it.
Ye Muyu looked at her hands and smiled bitterly.
“Madam…”
After some time, Su Mei’s voice came from outside. Ye Muyu woke up and realized that she had almost fallen asleep in the bathtub.
She got up, dried her body, put on her clothes, and went out.
“Madam, all the luggage is unpacked. Do you want to eat?” Su Mei asked carefully.
In fact, the four servant girls who had been serving Ye Muyu were a little nervous. They had seen how well their master treated his wife in the county, but who knew that in just a few months, their master had taken a concubine after he passed the advanced scholar examination and became an official!
