When Chu Ziluo received the invitation, she was a bit puzzled.
She reached out her hand to take it and, after reading the contents inside, her gaze lingered on the two characters "Qin Garden".
A smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth: "I see, it’s like a weasel wishing a chicken a Happy New Year, up to no good."
"They’ve stolen the Chu family’s business and ideas, and now they’re flaunting it in front of ? Aren’t they afraid of choking on it?"
"Go, send a letter to the residence." Although Chu Ziluo was angry, she first decided to inform her mother, as figuring out how to respond later wouldn’t be too difficult.
After all, she knew that her mother’s thoughts were far deeper than they appeared on the surface.
Since the Qi family was being so shaless, it’d be embarrassing not to send them a return gift.
"Have you set up the eting with the Yun family’s Second Master?" Chu Ziluo asked in a low voice.
"It’s set, but there’s no reply yet. Should we urge them?" Nenya asked.
"No rush for now, we’ll et with the other families first."
"Yes."
Ye Muyu didn’t leave the residence. Taking advantage of so free ti, she decided to stay ho and write, accompanied by a few children.
The children were young, about eight or nine years old; so studied and learned to read with the Master, while others helped Ye Muyu transcribe books.
These children were all orphans, including even Chu Bo.
Ye Muyu initially refused.
But upon unexpectedly hearing of the considerable achievents and diligence of those orphans, she didn’t mind choosing a few good-hearted ones to study at the school in the residence, with tutors who were her own people. How much they could learn depended on their own abilities.
As for the children helping Ye Muyu transcribe books, they were the ones who chose to do so willingly, as long as they did their best.
Therefore, when she received letters from both Chu Ziluo and Chu Fu, she was sowhat surprised.
"Madam, take a break. The kitchen made so pastries for you, and there’s fresh orange juice."
The oranges were grown in the greenhouse, as such fruits were not available in the regular season.
Ye Muyu liked fruits, which was why various fruit trees were grown in the greenhouse.
Ye Muyu nodded: "Serve so pastries and sweet drinks to the children too, let them take a break before continuing to study."
"Yes, madam." Su i smiled, instructing Su Lan and a few other girls to fetch pastries from the kitchen.
Due to his young age, Nuanbao was also in the study within the house, just sitting there, with Chun Xing watching over him.
Nuanbao was well-behaved, alternately reading and scribbling, without causing disturbances to the other children’s studies.
In fact, sotis he would even pay attention to the Master’s lectures, learning Pinyin along with them.
Yes, whether outside the residence or within, Chu Heng had sent people to teach everyone Pinyin and literacy.
One could say they were at the forefront, learning quite a bit while the citizens of Great Chu were still questioning the existence of Pinyin.
Ye Muyu took a sip of orange juice and opened the letter to read its contents.
She raised an eyebrow, her expression indescribable, unsure whether to call the Qi family clever or shaless.
If she had built Jingyuan just to be a ga room, she probably would be infuriated by the Qi family’s move to steal business.
But the Qi family didn’t consider that she wouldn’t be foolish enough to know what needed to be done and still disclose it.
Her Jingyuan was originally just a gimmick, to introduce concrete, a moneymaking tool.
The Qi family’s current actions didn’t really affect her.
However.
Since they were being so disgusting.
She naturally needed to retaliate in kind.
