Chapter 1337: Chapter 1334: Persuasion
Su i had just left when the sound of voices ca from outside the door.
It was Madam Liu, Chu Ziluo, and Chu Jin coming over.
“Mother, Chu Ziluo, Lil’ Jin, please take a seat. Are you here to see Nuanbao?” Ye Muyu asked with a smile.
“Mother, I’m here to see you. My little brother mostly sleeps now, but when he gets a bit older, I’ll bring him out to play,” Chu Ziluo approached, glancing at the cradle where Nuanbao lay before handing over the safety talisman she had prepared in advance.
“Mother, this is the safety talisman I went to ask for the day before yesterday. I forgot yesterday, and only now have co to give it to you. The presiding master said, wearing it ensures safety.”
Ye Muyu patted her hand affectionately, “Good, I’ll accept it, thank you Chu Ziluo.”
“Mother, I have mine too,” Chu Jin busily pulled out a safety talisman from his waist, “I went to the temple with my sister and grandmother.”
“Right, and one for my little brother too.”
Chu Jin placed another talisman into Nuanbao’s cradle, while Chu Ziluo also had one prepared inside an embroidered pouch, placing the talisman inside.
“Ah Yu, how are you feeling today?” Madam Liu asked with concern, sitting on the chair by the bed.
“Mother, I’m fine now, taking dicine regularly each day. Don’t worry about ,” Ye Muyu reassured.
Madam Liu nodded, “I’m relieved to hear that. You’ve depleted your strength this ti; you must recuperate well.”
“Mother, thank you for your concern. By the way, have you prepared your luggage, and decided when you’ll return to your hotown?” This subject had co up yesterday, but it was too late and, seeing that the two elders seed disinclined to discuss it further, Ye Muyu, thinking it was getting late, did not continue the conversation.
Madam Liu was montarily startled, seemingly not expecting her to bring up the topic.
The truth was, Madam Liu was contemplating whether or not to return to her hotown.
To be precise, whether she herself should go back.
Having reached this point in the conversation, she hesitated for a mont before speaking her mind, “Here’s what I’m thinking: it would be enough for your father to go back, along with Lil’ Jin. I won’t return.”
“Mother, are you worried about my health?” Ye Muyu was astute, guessing the reason from Madam Liu’s expression.
Madam Liu gave a bitter smile, already aware of her daughter-in-law’s intelligence, and now wouldn’t deny it.
“I was thinking, you need to focus on your health right now, and the residence simply cannot be without soone. My staying here would be just right.”
Ye Muyu indeed suspected Madam Liu was considering her welfare.
She now needed to prioritize rest and couldn’t afford to spend effort managing the affairs of the residence.
However, despite being moved, she had no intention of letting Madam Liu stay behind.
While her health was good, going back to her hotown was doable. In later years, when she grew old, wanting to go back would be difficult, especially considering that traveling by carriage was exhausting.
“Mother, co back with us. I know what you’re worried about. Not to ntion my health is still decent, your biggest concern probably is that there’s no one to manage the residence,” Ye Muyu said.
“Actually, I’ve already co up with a way to manage the residence.”
“What way?” Madam Liu was taken aback by her refusal and a bit surprised, “Ah Yu, you don’t have to put on a brave face, it’s no trouble for your mother to handle these things.”
“Mother, I’m really not pretending to be tough,” Ye Muyu responded with a helpless smile. “Actually, the reason the residence is so busy now is because of gifts from other households, right? I’ve discussed with Ah Heng and decided not to have a full moon celebration for Nuanbao but just a hundred-day celebration.”
“By then, father and you could co back by boat, and it should be just in ti.”
“As for returning the gifts, I’ve arranged for Su i to handle them. She learned from the housekeeper previously, can you rest assured, Mother?”
