Chapter 1574: Chapter 1571: Successfully Competing for Favor
Discovering that stead fish could be fed to Nuanbao, he had already had lunch, so he would at most just taste it and not eat much.
Worried that the stead fish would get cold and give Nuanbao an upset stomach, Ye Muyu couldn’t help but glance at Chu Heng.
Chu Heng, seeing her look over, raised his innocent eyes, looking weak, with a reassuring smile in his eyes, reached out to her: “I’ll do it myself, you go feed Nuanbao.”
Originally, Ye Muyu had this intention.
But thinking of his bandaged wound soaked with blood and his pale complexion, she felt a bit reluctant to let him do so, especially considering his serious injury.
Letting him eat by himself would make her feel uneasy.
Ye Muyu sighed lightly, coaxed Nuanbao, and then called Chun Xing in to feed Nuanbao so stead fish.
A fleeting look of pleasure flashed in Chu Heng’s eyes, disappearing without a trace.
While feeding him, Ye Muyu explained the recent matters at the residence.
Chu Heng listened cooperatively, creating a very harmonious atmosphere between the two.
“Over at the shop, give them the New Year holiday first, there’s no rush. The Emperor has agreed to your request, and it’s estimated that the loom design plans won’t be handed over to the Ministry of Works until spring after the New Year.”
“As for the Great Prince, the courtesy he personally delivered last ti, just accept it, and you did well to return the favor with sothing of the sa value. Keep the relationship neither too close nor too distant.”
“I’ve added more manpower to the workshop there, so don’t worry.”
“When the weather gets better, we’ll write back to let Mother and Brother Ah Jin co back.” These things are all planned, and by spring, everything will be on track.
Ye Muyu wasn’t worried about Chu Jin’s safety back ho. However, he’s old enough to attend the Imperial College; his studies can’t be neglected.
“Okay, don’t worry about these things. I’ve arranged everything. Focus on recovering, or else, when you’re still bedridden, I’ll be taking the kids out for a spring outing.”
Every year, Ye Muyu would arrange to leave the capital to stay at the Manor, which was much more interesting than the capital.
Especially in spring, when the weather is just perfect.
Chu Heng, upon hearing this, squeezed her fingers and gazed keenly: “I will go then too.”
“Let’s see if you’ll have a holiday by then.” Ye Muyu admitted to saying this intentionally, knowing that once the General Lu’s case was resolved, along with the matter of Duke Zheng, Chu Heng wouldn’t have as many official duties.
To prevent him from feeling responsible and taking on more work, Ye Muyu deliberately said this.
Chu Heng felt a stirring in his heart and blurted out, “I’ll go, I want to go.”
“Alright, it’s still early, I’ll let you know then.” Ye Muyu didn’t fully believe it, playfully assuming that Chu Heng would inevitably be delayed by an unexpected event.
Chu Heng felt a bit helpless, yet a sense of reluctance erged, wanting to go on an outing with his wife and children. Letting Ah Yu and the others go alone, he felt sowhat uneasy.
Perhaps over the years, the family had grown accustod to living together, always on edge whenever they parted.
When he had eaten almost enough, Ye Muyu handed him a hawthorn red date cake.
Chu Heng took a bite himself and found the taste quite good, and in a gesture of goodwill, offered it to Ye Muyu’s lips.
Ye Muyu pushed his hand away: “I’m not eating, you have more.”
“Just try it, it’s not bad. Let’s enjoy it together; eating alone makes uneasy.”
Ye Muyu conceded and took a bite. The sweet and sour taste was indeed quite appetizing.
