PWDLAW Chapter 228: Jealousy
Chapter 228: Jealousy
In reality, the previous Ye family was indeed an ordinary village family. After Ye Muyu came, she had the help of servants from the Hu family, so she no longer needed to work in the fields or cook by herself. With some free time on her hands, she naturally started making daily necessities.
She even managed to research a kind of cream similar to a face cream. However, it was only suitable for use within the family and didn't have high cosmetic value.
"Madam." After realizing it was Ye Muyu, Xie Yu quickly smiled and greeted her.
Ye Muyu appeared composed and natural "Young Master Xie doesn't mind our humble abod, it's our privilege to host you. Please, don't hesitate to make yourself at home."
"Uncle Zhang, please show Young Master Xie to the inner hall."
Zhang Shu nodded and guided Xie Yu inside.
Ye Muyu continued to welcome Miss Xie, who had just alighted from the carriage.
"Miss Xie, our place is simple, please don't mind. I've arranged for someone to assist you inside..." Ye Muyu said softly.
To her surprise, Xie Wan squeezed out a word "Thank you, Madam. Miss Wan won't mind."
Ye Muyu could see from Xie Wan's eyes that she was only curious and restrained, showing no signs of disdain for the simple village house. It seemed she genuinely didn't care.
Guided by a maidservant, Xie Wan entered the house.
Ye Muyu instructed Luchuan to take care of the servants who came with the Xie family. After setting up a separate table in the courtyard, she accompanied Xie Wan into the main hall.
Originally intending to leave, Ye Muyu was stopped by Xie Yu's laughter. "Madam, with just the few of us, there's no need to separate tables. Please stay and dine with us."
"In that case, I'll thank Young Master Xie."
Ye Muyu didn't refuse. Since Xie Yu suggested it, she would sit openly.
Next to Xie Wan, she could also look after this young girl.
Following Ye Muyu's previous instructions, Hu Shi had no mistakes in the serving process. First, they served tea, and Xie Yu had a servant to assist him in serving dishes.
Ye Muyu was fortunate to witness the grandeur of a wealthy family's arrangement. Although she knew this was considered small-scale, it was still impressive.
After Xie Yu finished washing his hands and rinsed his mouth with tea, the first appetizer, red bean wine lees, was presented.
"Mr. Xie, please." Chu Heng spoke.
Xie Yu took a spoon and tasted it slowly. Unconsciously, he finished a small bowl.
"Brother Chu, I never thought that the lees could be cooked with red beans. In the past, the most common dish we had at home was lees rice balls. I didn't expect that combining them with red beans would create a unique flavor." Xie Yu, a refined young man from a wealthy family, looked casual but was actually quite discerning.
If the food didn't suit his taste, he would at most take a bite.
Now, he had unexpectedly finished a small bowl, partly because he already enjoyed lees rice balls at home. Of course, the ones made by the Chu family also suited his taste.
"Mrs. Chu enjoys exploring new delicacies. It's nothing special, if Mr. Xie likes it, that's good." Chu Heng also tasted red bean wine lees for the first time. Initially, he thought of just casually entertaining Xie Yu today. Who would have thought it would be a face-slapping encounter?
For a moment, Chu Heng didn't want anyone to know about Ye Muyu's excellence. He wished her goodness would be exclusively for him.
If Ye Muyu knew about his childish thoughts, she would calmly remind this man that her kindness wasn't only directed at him but also at Ziluo and Xiao Jin.
Ye Muyu, however, wasn't concerned about Chu Heng's modesty. She preferred a stable and low-key life and didn't want to attract too much attention.
