Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Muyu first checked the surroundings of the house and made sure that no one could enter easily before returning to the courtyard and closing the door. Not only that, but she also used a pole against the door.

After doing all this, Ye Muyu let out a sigh of relief. Only then did she feel the pain in her fingers.

She dealt with it briefly.

Ye Muyu went into the kitchen to make some dough ball soup.

She added some vegetables and an egg. It was light and convenient.

After eating, she boiled the medicine. Thinking of her daughter’s reminder during the day, it seemed that she had to buy the medicine tomorrow in case she forgot.

After finishing the medicine and taking a bath, Ye Muyu returned to the east wing. She did not know what time it was.

It was still early because she could still hear some dogs barking outside.

With the oil lamp lit, Ye Muyu was not sleepy. She thought about it and brought the Chu Law to the bed. She read it and did some needlework when she was tired. She did not stay idle.

After about two hours, Ye Muyu could not take it anymore. She shut the book up and kept the sewing basket.

She then blew out the oil lamp and closed her eyes to sleep.

In the old residence, Madam Liu came out of Chu Ziluo’s room and saw Chu Qingxiang still bringing water into the room.

“Qingxiang, why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“Grandma, I want to… wash my hair,” Chu Qingxiang said shyly.

Madam Liu was surprised. “It’s already so late. Why do you want to wash your hair? I’m afraid you won’t be able to dry it by tomorrow morning.”

“It’ll be fine. I’ll dry my hair carefully before I go to bed, so I won’t get a cold,” Chu Qingxiang quickly said.

Madam Liu saw the shyness in her eyes. She thought about it carefully and understood what was going on. Tomorrow was Madam Zhang’s birthday. Chu Qingxiang had also proposed marriage to Song Lu.

Both families had the intention of getting married.

If the Song Family was interested, they would definitely bring Song Lu over. At that time, although Chu Qingxiang would not be able to be alone with Song Lu, she would still meet him.

Of course, Madam Liu could not guarantee that Song Lu would come over. After all, Song Lu was an Elementary Scholar. In her family, only Chu Heng was an Elementary Scholar.

Although she thought so in her heart, she felt that her granddaughter had reached the age, so it was only right for her to take care of herself.

Moreover, even if Song Lu was not around, it was not a bad thing for Qingxiang to be sensible.

“Okay, then you should pack up and rest early.”

Seeing that Madam Liu did not ask further, Chu Qingxiang heaved a sigh of relief.

However, she also understood that since Madam Liu did not say anything, it meant that she approved of this marriage. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.

They entered the main house.

Madam Liu took off her coat and lay on the bed.

Chu Zhiwen only returned after teaching Chu Jin.

Seeing that it was getting late, he took off his outer clothes and went to bed.

Madam Liu turned to face him and said, “Old man, there’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time. I want to tell you.”

“What?” Chu Zhiwen lay flat and fell asleep.

“The thief escaped today and was not caught. Although he was injured, if he returned to the village, I’m afraid it would be unimaginable.”

“Look at Third Daughter-in-law… I always feel uneasy to let her live alone.”

“If there are two children at home, there will be someone to send a message. Do you think we should let the two children stay back and come over to study during the day?” Madam Liu was reminded of Chu Ziluo’s words in the afternoon.

“Madam Ye is not in good health. I see that she is very thin and her face is pale.

If she encounters the thief again, she might not be fine.”

Chu Zhiwen frowned slightly, “Now that you mention this, it’s indeed not safe for her.”

“But even if we let the two children go back, it might not be safe for them too..”
