 Chapter 40: A Changed Countenance

"If this bowl is dirty, will the other food also be dirty?" Ye Muyu nodded with satisfaction. Chu Ziluo was smart she understood the lesson quickly. This made Ye Muyu feel more at ease. "Ziluo, do you understand why Mom wants you to dry the bowls and chopsticks?" "Besides drying, before every meal, we'll use hot water to sterilize the chopsticks and bowls. This makes them cleaner. If guests come and see this they'll feel comfortable knowing the food is clean." Ye Muyu thought that since she couldn't use UV light for disinfection as in her previous life, boiling water was a reasonable alternative. "Mom, I understand. I'll remember to dry the dishes in the future." "Use hot water before using them." Chu Ziluo thought her mother was clever, explaining such things in a good way. "Mom, you know a lot. Dad says that reading books can teach you a lot. It seems Mom must have read many books." Indeed, reading books broadens one's knowledge. Ye Muyu said "Good girl. I sent you to the old house this time to learn these things from your grandmother. Although they may not be in books, they are essential for us women." Ye Muyu brought up the old house to make Chu Ziluo more attentive during her lessons there. Her mother-in-law, Chu Liushi, had a wealth of knowledge. There would be only benefits for Chu Ziluo to learn from her. Chu Ziluo nodded earnestly. After washing the dishes, Ye Muyu told Chu Ziluo to rest and she continued sitting by the stove, watching the fire and simmering the medicine. In early spring, the weather was warming up but Ye Muyu still felt cold. It indicated her weakened body and she wondered whether it was due to postpartum weakness or some other reason. She planned to see a doctor and ask more questions about her health. Ye Muyu sat on a small stool, watching the night fall. Bright moonlight streamed in through the window, and the stove beside her crackled. She examined her fingers, no longer the familiar, well-maintained, slender digits from before. This body had slender, weak hands but the skin was fair. She had seen her reflection in the mirror and felt her appearance was decent, somewhat resembling her previous life. However, the bronze mirror was not very clear and she couldn't be sure since she could only see vague outlines. When the medicine was ready, it had been half an hour. Ye Muru drank the medicine, feeling a warm sensation in her body, making her somewhat drowsy. After washing up, she reluctantly returned to the east wing. She resisted sleep, afraid that if she woke up in the middle of the night, she would have to face a strange man sleeping beside her. It would be agonizing, so she decided to sleep through the night, hoping he would be gone by morning. She lit a lamp. Ye Muyu slowly began making shoes. At her pace, it might take four or five days to finish a pair. She decided not to make clothes for Chu Heng this time. Otherwise, she worried it would take three months again, only for clothes. Ye Muyu concentrated on making shoes. Time passed and she didn't notice when Chu Heng returned. Entering the room, Chu Heng saw Ye Muyu making shoes. Her concentration and meticulousness were apparent. She looked so different from the fierce, angry, frowning, and coarse-faced woman he remembered. This Ye Muyu was calm and focused. Even just silently watching her, he felt very comfortable. He realized that a change in personality could indeed affect a person's appearance. Chu Heng came to this conclusion.
