Chapter 1266: Chapter 1263: Affairs in the Palace Chapter 1266: Chapter 1263: Affairs in the Palace At that ti, the grain was sent in Chu Heng’s na.
However, there was a lot to be explained in this. Chu Heng was the official in charge of transporting the grain. He could say it was his own donation, or he could say he was delivering it on behalf of the Emperor.
After Chu Heng had visited the palace, he returned with a reward, which included silver rewards, so more than the silver Ye Muyu had spent on the grain.
Ye Muyu understood that the previous grain was sent in Emperor Xuanming’s na, and the Emperor was very reasonable, returning all the silver back to her.
Ye Muyu didn’t feel the slightest bit of heartache now. Originally, she just wanted to help Chu Heng solve a problem, but now the Emperor was very principled, returning whatever silver the family spent on behalf of the imperial court each ti.
She wouldn’t have to rush to earn silver anymore.
Ye Muyu, smiling at the ledger, felt exceptionally good. With so much silver, she could have the embroiderers from the Ready-Made Clothing Shop co over to take custom orders for clothes when her elder brothers arrived from their old ho.
“What’s making you smile?” Chu Heng looked up, saw her curved eyes, and couldn’t help but start smiling as well.
“I’m counting the silver. Now, we have enough silver in our house to live comfortably for the rest of our lives,” Ye Muyu cheerfully said.
Chu Heng was sowhat surprised by her remark, belatedly saying, “So, Ah Yu, you’ve always been worried that the house didn’t have enough silver to spend?”
He never thought she would have such a concern; after all, Ye Muyu knew many ways to make money, and she didn’t seem to care much about how the business was doing.
Ye Muyu said, “It’s just that sotis a lot of silver is needed, and when counting it, I find that we don’t have much. But helping the Emperor is pretty good too, he rewards us with silver.”
“Without this worry about the future, my mood naturally improves.”
Chu Heng understood what she ant and reached out to rub her head, a low chuckle resonating in his throat, “Don’t worry, I’m here for you. If you’re short on silver, just tell .”
“If I’m lacking, I’ll definitely turn to you,” Ye Muyu didn’t say anything dismissive. After all, she and Chu Heng were close husband and wife. If she really said she wouldn’t spend his silver, he would probably be truly heartbroken.
Over the years, Ye Muyu had slowly co to understand that affection needs to be nurtured.
If she had stayed with her previous thoughts of not wanting to marry, she naturally wouldn’t want to take advantage of soone else.
But after many years together, she couldn’t ignore Chu Heng’s contributions.
Mutual respect is what allows a relationship to last. Besides, the shops she opened had all beco her dowry thanks to Chu Heng.
Chu Heng’s eyes were smiling, evidently in a very good mood.
“You didn’t eat much tonight. Would you like so fruit?” Seeing her take occasional sips of tea, Chu Heng asked.
Ye Muyu replied, “The kitchen sent over so strawberries and waterlon this ti. Shall we try them? Would you like so?”
“Sure.” Chu Heng imdiately ordered the servants to bring over a plate of waterlon and strawberries.
It wasn’t long before the fruit was brought in.
To Ye Muyu’s surprise, it wasn’t just waterlon and strawberries, but also grapes.
After tasting them, she found them exceptionally sweet, which was a bit of a surprise.
“You haven’t had much of an appetite recently, so you might not know the greenhouse on the Manor is getting better and better. Father often goes to the Manor just because of the greenhouse,” Chu Heng peeled the grapes and fed them to her.
Ye Muyu suddenly rembered sothing, “It seems the Zhao family also had a Manor in the capital, did they sell it?”
Back then, Qingqing even approached her for advice on running a greenhouse.
“Sold. It was bought by the maternal family of the lady of the Second Branch of the Liu Family,” Chu Heng said, pausing for a mont.
