 Chapter 422: So Much?

Chu Heng could easily sense it. He sighed with a hint of helplessness and reached out to grab Ye Muyu's hand.


Ye Muyu struggled a bit but seeing that she couldn't pull away, she gave up. Chu Heng rarely used physical actions, but when he wanted to hold her hand, he wouldn't let her go easily.


Since that was the case, she didn't bother to struggle further to avoid making him upset.


"Are you making ink because you lack silver?" Chu Heng was in a good mood. Judging by her reaction, a fleeting satisfaction flashed in his eyes. His slightly rough hand gently grazed the back of her hand.


Ye Muyu didn't expect him to ask directly, but since he did, she couldn't hide it anymore. If she didn't answer now it would truly be hiding something and it might lead to conflicts.


"Yeah, I need quite a bit. I use it at the bookstore and I didn't expect the cost of printing books to be so high." Ye Muyu felt a bit embarrassed. There was also the initial reason that she didn't clarify, but she had never told anyone about the lack of silver.


Although Chu Heng's expression didn't change much, she felt that his gaze towards her was somewhat different now.


"There's also the silver for the mountain pepper tree. I'm afraid I have to wait until the bookstore opens and earns back its investment before I can give it to you."


"No need to give." Chu Heng's eyes were sharp.


"Huh?" Ye Muyu hadn't reacted yet.


Chu Heng had already let go of her and walked to the bookshelf in big strides.


In no time, he brought over a wooden box, opened it, revealing a stack of silver bills and some silver pieces.


"These should be enough, take them." Chu Heng directly took four hundred taels from it and put them in her hands.


Ye Muyu was already short of silver, especially since she needed to pay the remaining three hundred and twenty taels for the bookstore in a few days. If she didn't accept this money, it might lead to an awkward situation and she would lose face in front of Chu Heng.


Her face blushed slightly and then she said frankly, "When the bookstore makes a profit, I'll pay you back. Without you I wouldn't be able to start the bookstore."


"I'll share the profits with you when the time comes." Feeling that she had taken too much advantage, Ye Muyu felt indebted.


Hearing her answer, Chu Heng frowned slightly and solemnly rebuked her, "Ah Yu, have you misunderstood something?"


"We are a husband and wife. Shouldn't I give you money? From now on, you keep this wooden box. When there's money, I'll give it to you. Keep enough for your own use."


"All this wealth was earned from the recent business trips. There are also some land deeds and estate but they are all in Luo Prefecture outside Yenching in the north. We are far away and can't manage them. Let's talk about it when we go to Yenching in the future. Don't worry about them now."


Chu Heng handed over all the family property to Ye Muyu with just a few words.


Ye Muyu was surprised by his carefree actions but she couldn't deny that she was touched. She felt grateful that Chu Heng trusted her so much.


This wealth was earned by Chu Heng, and there was no need for him to share it with her. Even if he only gave her the monthly silver for running the household, there wouldn't be any complaints.


Although in a large household, the husband usually managed the family's finances while the wife took care of the household, it was hard to say who controlled the specifics privately.


Ye Muyu smiled and asked, "Are you letting me manage the household completely?"


"No, this is my money, for you to use. If you want to make money, go ahead. If you don't want to, that's fine too. Don't worry too much. It's just money. With our current income, it's enough to support our family."


Ye Muyu looked surprised as if she wanted to confirm whether Chu Heng was lying.
