PWDLAW Chapter 42: Rebuttal

 Chapter 42: Rebuttal

In her previous life, studying already incurred significant expenses and preparing for the imperial examination in this life was even more financially draining. Now that she was the man's wife in ancient times where one's honor and disgrace were intertwined, if Chu Heng did well, her status would rise as well. Of course, she didn't rely solely on her husband's habits, she needed to make her own preparations to prevent any marital issues, such as a man taking concubines. Ye Muyu took the silver coins, calculating in her mind how to earn more money. Seeing her deep in thought, Chu Heng thought she might be pondering something unfavorable again and couldn't help but retort "Fifteen taels for three months. I want to see you take good care of the two children. If next time, Chu Ziluo is still so thin and Chu Jin still has these bad habits, don't blame me for not being polite. You won't need to manage the household expenses anymore." "I believe that my parents can raise the two children well." Ye Muyu replied glancing up at him casually. Chu Heng's turning figure froze he didn't expect Ye Muyu to retort like this. He felt extremely annoyed for a moment, staring at Ye Muyu. Childishly, he hoped she would take back her words. Ye Muyu looked back at him sincerely but didn't say a word. Frustrated, Chu Heng's face changed slightly and he snorted before lying down on the bed without saying anything. Ye Muyu put away the silver coins and placed them in the money box. Now that she thought about it she had over twenty taels of silver. Considering the initial cost, it was much better than she had imagined. After storing the silver coins, Ye Muyu lay down to sleep. The bed wasn't large, but Ye Muyu slept soundly because Chu Heng turned away, leaving more than two arm-lengths of distance between them. She could clearly feel that Chu Heng didn't want to get close to her. That was just perfect. Ye Muyu thought to herself, this was much better than any hands-on approach. The next morning, Ye Muyu woke up quite early. She prepared a simple porridge, stir-fried some vegetables and added pickles for breakfast. After breakfast, Chu Heng got up and asked the two children "Have you packed your things?" "Yes, we're ready. We'll go to your father's house with me." Chu Ziluo and Chu Jin replied obediently. "Dad, I'm ready." Chu Ziluo said softly. Chu Jin, who had slept through the night after washing his feet, completely forgot to pack. When he woke up in the morning, he felt sore and didn't want to move, completely forgetting about going to the old house. Chu Heng walked ahead, saying "Let's get ready." Chu Jin quickly followed him. Chu Ziluo hesitated but didn't move. She subconsciously looked back at Ye Muyu. Ye Muyu nodded. "Go ahead." Chu Ziluo immediately followed them. Seeing that Chu Heng was teaching his son, Ye Muyu didn't intervene. She collected the dishes, washed them in the kitchen, tidied up the kitchen, and then took her medicine. Only then did she turn back to the east wing. She took out two pieces of silver from the money pouch for future use. Searching for some cloth at home, she found only one piece of green fabric left, similar to the brown fabric that Chu Heng used for making clothes. Chu Heng still had three pieces of unused fabric. The brown color seemed a bit dark yellow, and she felt Chu Heng probably didn't like this color. Ye Muyu selected two pieces of fabric and two packs of sugar. There was no tea, so she would need to buy some later. Ye Muyu prepared everything she could. Walking to the window of the west wing, Ye Muyu addressed Chu Heng, who was teaching Chu Jin to pack. "I'm going out for a while. I'll join you later." "Mom, where are you going? I want to go too." Chu Ziluo said. Chu Heng grunted, agreeing with her request. Ye Muyu, holding Chu Ziluo's hand, walked towards the street leading to the bridge.
