Capítulo 2224: Chapter 2221: Fight Back
“The lady loves reading, this phonetic tool is quite handy. My husband talks about it at ho every day.”
“Today’s thod by Madam is also good. It’s only when displayed that its benefits beco apparent.”
“Look, those who weren’t interested in reading in the past are now listening intently,” Elder Lady Zhong said with a smile.
Ye Muyu wouldn’t admit she intentionally used the female teacher to handle these ladies. She smiled humbly upon hearing: “The Old Madam is right. When I first saw this phonetic tool, I was also amazed. It was only after careful study that I discovered its marvels.”
“As for the female teacher’s teaching thods, they are actually summarized from manuscripts left by predecessors.”
Elder Lady Zhong nodded with a smile: “You understand the difficulty of being illiterate. As an old woman, I didn’t expect I could still learn in my later years.”
The other ladies heard this and also laughed and praised.
“No wonder Madam can win Lord Chu’s favor. Surely, it’s because of such novel ideas that she can talk with the lord about common topics,” a middle-aged lady in an orange dress said, covering her mouth with a laugh.
Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu gave a sardonic smile: “Second Lady Huo’s words seem inappropriate. Even as won, learning is not to win soone’s favor, but to make oneself more charismatic. After all, there were female poets in the forr dynasty, showing that talent is not restricted by gender.”
She is Chu Heng’s Legal Wife, does she need to please the lord like a concubine?
Her words were not kind.
Clearly, she intended to mock her.
Did they really think that she, unfamiliar with the capital’s high officials and nobles circles, wouldn’t know about their private mockery?
Second Lady Huo’s smile froze, not expecting Ye Muyu to react so quickly and end up causing trouble for her. She hurriedly pretended to pat her mouth: “Madam Chu, you see, I can’t speak well. You’re so generous, surely you won’t mind.”
“Second Lady Huo is right, I generally don’t give aningless matters a second thought,” Ye Muyu also smiled at her, as gentle as could be.
Acting, who wouldn’t know? She humd internally.
The other ladies saw Second Lady Huo eat humble pie and couldn’t help but cover their mouths and laugh quietly.
Who wouldn’t know that this one wasn’t good, and dared to directly oppose the most popular Madam Chu? They were happy to watch the show.
Second Lady Huo’s face stiffened, having been thwarted by Ye Muyu, her mood turned sowhat sour.
“Madam Chu is indeed generous,” she forced a smile.
“Alright, I see everyone has been watching for a while, you must be eager to try so exercises and recognize so words yourself,” Elder Lady Zhong tily stood up: “Today, let’s treat this as an experience for us ladies, not worrying about speed, but enjoying the happiness of learning characters.”
Ye Muyu knew Elder Lady Zhong was helping her resolve the situation.
She did not want any trouble, hoping the banquet would finish smoothly, avoiding complications.
She stood up upon hearing this and invited everyone into the already prepared hall. Inside were chairs with various exercises on them.
They could write with a brush or with a pencil.
These were all optional.
Without any need for competition, these ladies were naturally willing to try, as it wouldn’t be embarrassing.
Seeing all the ladies went inside.
Ye Muyu then instructed Su i to ask the restaurant to deliver als.
