Chapter 629: Chu Heng's Letter
"Don't worry, Madam. Third Young Master is talented and he will definitely pass the examination this time." Chu Liushi comforted.
Mrs. Xie liked hearing these words. What she cared most about was the lack of scholars in her family. Her eldest and second sons were both in business and had no talent for studying at all.
Since her third son loved studying and was being nurtured by her and her husband, he could finally participate in the imperial examination in a proper manner. She had high expectations and naturally spared no effort. She wouldn't allow anything to go wrong. That's why when she learned about the actions of Wang Landlord, she didn't intervene immediately.
"You all can rest in the guest rooms for now. Servants will come to take you over later."
"In the village, I will also arrange for a servant to inform everyone so that they won't worry."
"Thank you, Madam." Chu Liushi naturally thanked her.
Soon, Mrs. Xie left. She still needed to prepare for the banquet and there were many things to attend to. Personally informing Ye Muyu and the others was already a sign of her high regard for them.
However, Chu Liushi and the others didn't feel this deeply. They thought that Mrs. Xie treated everyone like this.
Ye Muyu thought for a moment and said, "Mother, you and Fifth Aunt stay at the Xie family to help me take care of the two children. I want to go out and inquire about the situation and also get news from my husband's side. I can find out by asking the steward at the bookstore."
"But you're alone..."
Ye Muyu smiled faintly, "Mother, isn't Han Zhuang still here? Previously, Landlord Wang couldn't catch me. Now that Landlord Wang 's family is all locked up in prison, there's no chance they can catch me, right?"
"We don't need to be like startled birds. There aren't many people like Landlord Wang . With his precedent, other landlords and gentry in the county won't dare to act recklessly. We can just live our lives normally as before."
"You're right, Mother was worrying too much." Chu Liushi nodded and didn't stop her anymore. "Then take Ah Xing with you."
"Okay." Ye Muyu naturally wouldn't refuse Chu Liushi's kindness.
Soon after.
Ye Muyu, with Ah Xing, left the Xie Mansion and arrived at the bookstore.
The door of the bookstore was still closed. The shopkeeper also came over and was about to open the door when someone opened it from the inside.
"Manager Luo?" Ye Muyu looked at Luo Qisheng in surprise. "Why are you here?"
"Madam, I'm here to guard the shop. I'm afraid the Wang family might set fire to the house." Luo Qisheng said truthfully. "Master ordered me to do so before he left."
"He said that the bookstore is the Madam's effort and must not be destroyed."
Ye Muyu was originally a bit resentful that Chu Heng left without waking her up or at least letting her see him off. But now, seeing how he carefully instructed everything at home, full of concern for her, her resentment disappeared and she even missed him a bit.
"Has my husband's letter arrived?" Ye Muyu stepped into the shop and glanced around. The shop was still neat and tidy, even the inkstone that she hadn't had time to clean before leaving was still placed as it was, following the owner's orders, the servants didn't dare to move it casually.
Luo Qisheng followed and closed the shop, following behind her respectfully, nodding, "Yes, Madam. I was originally going to the Xie Mansion to find you."
"Show it to me." Ye Muyu's eyes flashed with joy.
Luo Qisheng handed her the envelope, then waved his hand, indicating the other servants to go about their own business.
Ye Muyu sat down at the low table in the bookstore. This was usually a place where scholars read. The floor was covered with sheepskin blankets, cleaned and neat. There was even a cushion placed on top.
