Chapter 1289: Chapter 1286: Orchid Shop Chapter 1289: Chapter 1286: Orchid Shop “I reckon the waterlons are warm; I won’t eat much, just a small piece will do,”
Madam Liu was quickly convinced.
After accompanying her in the parlor for waterlon, she rembered she still had to check on the shop and didn’t linger any longer, as she headed out again.
Madam Liu’s shop was the newly opened Orchid Shop.
Previously, she had kept flowers for her own pleasure, but under Ye Muyu’s guidance, and the purchase of a florist, those premium varieties were few, but there were still quite a number of common types.
Displayed in the shop, they looked truly beautiful.
She had worried about business at first, but who knew, perhaps in the capital there were too many people with disposable inco; her business wasn’t bustling, but she still made a profit of ten taels of silver daily, which bolstered Madam Liu’s confidence.
Every day she would visit the shop, even if just to look around, and feel contented.
Knowing her keen interest, Ye Muyu did not delay and went back to the backyard to rest.
Since becoming pregnant, she had beco particularly hobound, often needing to nap.
In the capital, many families were hosting banquets and sending invitations to the residence, but Ye Muyu, being pregnant, had a ready excuse to decline, and no one would take offense. After all, these people wanted to ingratiate themselves with Chu Heng, not to annoy him.
As a result,
Ye Muyu spent another entire day languidly lying in bed, with no intention of expanding other shops, given her already existing business.
As her belly grew larger day by day, the weather turned hotter and hotter.
Ye Muyu initially could bear it without an ice basin.
But when the Dog Days ca, the weather in the capital was extrely hot.
Due to the heat, Ye Muyu lost her appetite, and to avoid walking around the yard in the heat, she had stopped going to the hall for als.
Waiting for her noon al,
She lay down on the bed to rest, as usual.
The windows in the room were wide open, in hopes that a breeze might co in.
Alas, Ye Muyu’s hope was dood to be dashed.
After lying there for a while, not only was there no breeze, but it was also unbearably hot.
Tossing and turning and unable to sleep, and yet her eyelids were so heavy.
“Su i, bring an ice basin in for ,” Ye Muyu felt sowhat aggrieved.
Su i and Chun Xing heard her and ca in.
Seeing this, they felt sowhat helpless, “Lady, Doctor Lu has said, your body is a bit weak, an ice basin has too strong a chill and being close to it is bad for your health.”
“Then close the windows, and place a layer of quilts at the door; I’ll cover myself with more blankets!” Ye Muyu sowhat missed the air conditioning of later tis, but she knew that at this mont, the highest luxury was the ice basin, and even that was an extrely extravagant item that would cost her quite a bit of silver.
Upon hearing this, Chun Xing instinctively wanted to nod.
Su i gave her a glance, and seeing this Chun Xing dared not agree so readily. After all, the master had ordered that they could agree to everything the lady requested except when it concerned safety, and they absolutely could not make decisions lightly; everything had to be reported to the master first.
“Lady, let fan you and see if that helps,” Su i offered, and then asked Chun Xing to bring a fan and started fanning Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu imdiately felt more comfortable and in her drowsiness, she didn’t forget to ask Su i to apply more force.
If she were fully awake, she would be too embarrassed to make such demands on her maidservants.
But helplessly, she could barely keep her eyes open and in her haziness, she just went with whatever felt most comfortable.
Only after making sure she had fallen asleep, did Su i breathe a sigh of relief.
“Su i sister, let do it,”
“Okay, each of us will fan her for a while,” Su i didn’t refuse, and quietly, she and Chun Xing sat cross-legged by the bed,
