Chapter 1709: Chapter 1706: Invitation
“Ah Yu.” Chu Heng saw her coming over and looked up with a smile.
Ye Muyu walked to the table, wearing her handmade slippers, found a stool, and sat opposite him. A simple dinner was laid out on the table.
Chu Heng took a bite and asked with a smile, “Do you want to try so?”
“You go ahead, I’m not hungry. I just ate an hour ago.” Ye Muyu leaned on the table and watched him.
Seeing that she indeed wasn’t eating, Chu Heng didn’t insist, and he quickly ate the noodles, with the grilled at sandwiched between them, full of flavor.
Ye Muyu asked, “Why did you co back so late today?”
“I was inspecting at the barracks, so there were quite a few tasks.”
Ye Muyu nodded understandingly: “I see. Let share so good news: we made quite a profit at the auction today.”
Ye Muyu stood up with a smile, ran to the next room, took out an account book from the bookshelf, and handed it to Chu Heng.
“Look, several thousand taels, isn’t it great?” Ye Muyu’s eyes curved into a smile, with a hint of seeking praise.
Chu Heng, seeing her adorable deanor, couldn’t help pinching her cheek: “Yes, it’s brilliant.”
Ye Muyu grinned broadly.
“But it’s better to reinvest the silver to make more of it. I discussed with Tang Dongfeng about using the silver to buy shops. Those ordinary clothing stores likely won’t survive, so they’ll be easy to acquire.”
“If you need my help, just let know.” Chu Heng patted her head, fully trusting her.
Ye Muyu nodded enthusiastically: “I know, but for now, I don’t need your help.”
Chu Heng smiled, not pressing the issue. As long as she was happy, that was what mattered.
In the following days.
Chu Heng was busy at the barracks and didn’t co ho for several days in a row, but he sent Lu Chuan back daily to let Ye Muyu be at ease.
At this ti.
News ca from Prince Rong’s side that his health was almost fully recovered.
This outco completely took everyone by surprise, especially those officials curious about whether Prince Rong had ambitions for that position. So officials even wanted to side with him.
If Chu Heng chose Prince Rong, these people would likely shift their stance towards him. But surprisingly, Prince Rong truly didn’t intend to leverage this life-saving favor to make Chu Heng take sides, not even for friendship.
This made so officials who had placed high hopes on Prince Rong quite dissatisfied.
For a while, Prince Rong’s Mansion was rather deserted.
At this ti, Ye Muyu also received the news.
She had soone call Chu Ziluo over.
“Mother.” Chu Ziluo walked in, saw Nuanbao, and smiled as she approached, playing with him for a while.
Ye Muyu didn’t interrupt the siblings’ interaction, smiling while attending to her own tasks.
After Chu Ziluo had her fill of playti, Ye Muyu spoke up: “Ziluo, it’s like this, Zhongjin has recovered his health well, and I’m planning to invite him over for a al to express our gratitude.”
Chu Ziluo felt grateful to Li Chongjin since without him, she would definitely have ended up in a bad situation. Hearing Ye Muyu’s words, she didn’t hesitate much and nodded: “Mother, that’s fitting. Brother Zhongjin also practically saved my life; inviting him for a al is appropriate.”
“Yes, you can prepare a thank-you gift. Once your father is done with this busy period, we’ll invite him, probably in a couple of days.” Ye Muyu communicated with her.
“By the way, spring is here. Would you like to find a shop to make a few clothes for you? Is there anything you like?” Ye Muyu had always been generous with the children in the family. It was customary, and now she owned a ready-made clothing shop.
