PWDLAW Chapter 679: Not Afraid of Retaliation
Chapter 679: Not Afraid of Retaliation
Zhang Pozi and Jiang Pozi saw the mistress and young miss personally washing the dishes, so they hastened their movements, hoping to lighten the burden on the two masters. Otherwise, if the master got angry, they might be sold off.
Chu Heng had become a successful candidate, which increased his influence over the servants.
Previously, he could only be considered a scholar, but now he was addressed as a master, indicating a rise in social status.
Although Ye Muyu noticed this, she didn't say anything. Diligent servants were a good thing, it was better than having a bunch of lazy ones.
After finishing washing the dishes, Chu Ziluo went out to play.
Ye Muyu returned to the house and wiped her hands with ointment.
It was nap time but the house was too small and the students were still in the yard discussing the provincial examination topics. Among those who took the exam, only Chu Heng and Xie Yu passed.
Xie Yu was a young master and most students didn't have much contact with him.
So they mostly came to Chu Heng.
Ye Muyu felt embarrassed to take a nap with so many guests around. After some thought, she decided not to sleep.
After drinking some green tea, Ye Muyu told Hu Shi and then left to go to the old house.
As soon as she stepped out, she ran into Qian coming out of Chu Xing's house.
Qian saw her and warmly approached "Ah Yu, where are you going?"
"By the way, Ah Xing's house, those furniture and gifts are still there. I'm worried about so many valuables, so I asked the eldest to come over at night and sleep with Ah Xing to watch over them. I'm afraid some audacious people might sneak in."
"It's troublesome, Fifth Aunt. The house is too small, I'm afraid it won't fit. But these days, there will be banquets and I'm afraid we'll have to store them for a few days first. But don't worry about Scholar Qing. I'll ask the household servants to come over and watch. They are skilled, ordinary thieves wouldn't dare to come."
"That's fine. I'm just worried about so many valuable things. You didn't see those furniture, the quality is excellent. I've never seen anything like it before. Ah, and the wedding pastries, they might not last too long."
Ye Muyu patted her head, "Fifth Aunt, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. I thought this side only had dead objects that could be preserved indefinitely."
"Then I'll call someone to take out the pastries and other things."
"Okay." Qian, seeing no waste, smiled and nodded.
Ye Muyu turned around and went back to call for Luchuan's help.

There were indeed many wedding pastries, enough to fill seven or eight carts. Almost every household sent them.
With so many, and considering the weather wasn't too cold, they wouldn't stay fresh until the banquet in three days.
Ye Muyu simply distributed some to each household. For those who were close relatives in the village, they also received some.
Sending pastries didn't require Ye Muyu's effort. Luchuan, along with Zhang Shu, Han Zhuang, and a few others, could handle it.
Ye Muyu went with Qian to the old house.
Qian exclaimed, "So many! But it's good that you're giving them away. It's a gesture of goodwill. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to finish eating them at home and they'll go bad sooner or later."
"On a day of great joy, everyone should be happy together, it's only natural." Ye Muyu smiled lightly.
"You're kind-hearted and generous, but unfortunately, some people are insatiable." Qian suddenly laughed as if remembering something, "You probably don't know, after Chu Hongmei was driven away, she didn't want to leave. But with Ah Heng's words, no family dared to keep her."
"She could only leave on a carriage. But when I saw her leaving, her eyes were full of resentment. She's probably going to cause trouble for you."
Ye Muyu's brows furrowed slightly, but she relaxed a moment later, saying, "Once you've offended someone, you're not afraid of their retaliation."
