PWDLAW Chapter 582 Leaving Before Dawn
Chapter 582 Leaving Before Dawn
One night passed.
When Ye Muyu woke up, she felt as if she had been run over by a car, sore and achy all over, with her lips swollen. However, her body was clean.
Thinking about the intimate contact with Chu Heng last night, Ye Muyu's cheeks flushed hotly. She touched her pounding chest and couldn't help but pound on the bedside, muttering, "He just left after eating, a bit too much!"
After Ye Muyu finished dressing and left the room, the sun was already up.
Hu Shi quickly served her breakfast, "Madam, you're up? Master left early in the morning and instructed not to wake you up. He probably didn't like the scene of parting, so he deliberately left early."
Although Ye Muyu had guessed that he had left, hearing it made her feel a little lost.
"When did he leave?"
"Before dawn, at the hour of Mao."
"Oh." Indeed, he left early, Ye Muyu thought to herself. This man, where did he get his energy from? He was so active all night long, yet he didn't seem tired at all.
But thinking of how he looked thin but had a good physique, she felt like she had worried for nothing.
"Where is Ziluo?"
It wasn't too late at this hour, there was still an hour and a half before lunch. Usually, Ziluo would be at home reading by now but she was nowhere to be seen today.
Hu Shi said, "Miss went to Master Chu Xing's place. This morning, I went out for a while and heard that the elders in the family were praying for Master at home."
"Children shouldn't go far. Master Chu Xing happened to bring back a kind of double-sided embroidered item which is said to test the skill of the embroiderer. All the girls in the family are learning it. Master Chu Xing said that whoever embroiders a handkerchief, he will buy it for five hundred wen."
"This price has attracted many girls to learn, hoping to earn some silver."
"It seems that Master Chu Xing is really making a fortune, otherwise he wouldn't offer such a high price." Hu Shi couldn't help but comment.
Ye Muyu smiled, "Hu Shi, don't underestimate this double-sided embroidery. I've heard that there aren't many skilled embroiderers, and even the ladies of high officials and nobles admire this embroidery method. So, if the girls can really learn it, it's also a valuable skill for them."
These days, ordinary people rely on their skills to make a living. Those without skills either farm, which depends on the weather for food. If the harvest is poor in a year, the whole family will go hungry.
Having a skill is different. Even if it's not great, it can still guarantee a meal.
"Madam is right." Hu Shi nodded with a faint smile.
After that, seeing Ye Muyu picking out the ribs from the soup, Hu Shi quickly stopped her, "Madam, these ribs were cooked for you by the master. You have to finish them."
"I've had a lot of soup and I'm a bit full. How about I eat them later?" Ye Muyu felt sore all over and felt lazy all over.
Hu Shi rarely saw her like this and was a little worried. "Madam, are you feeling unwell somewhere? Why don't you have an appetite today?"
As she spoke, she reached out to touch her forehead.
Although Ye Muyu had covered the marks on her neck with rouge, Hu Shi would inevitably see them if she got too close. Feeling guilty, Ye Muyu stood up abruptly and waved her hand, "Hu Shi, I'm fine. I just drank too much soup just now and feel a bit full. Eat, I'll finish the rest right away."
Because the ribs were cured, they already had a salty taste and became more fragrant as she chewed.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
As the two were talking, they heard someone knocking on the door.
Hu Shi quickly walked to the door of the main hall and looked towards the courtyard gate.
Only to see Zhang Shu quickly walking to the door to open it, Hu Shi recognized the person at a glance, it turned out to be Song Lu.
