“Mrs. Xie, don’t worry. Third Young Master is talented. He will definitely be able to become a high scholar this time,” Madam Liu consoled.
Mrs. Xie liked to hear this. What she was most concerned about was that there were too few scholars in the family now. The eldest son and second son were both businessmen, so they had no talent for studying.
Fortunately, Xie Yu loved to read and did well in his studies. She and her husband had put in all their effort to nurture him. Now that he could finally take the imperial examination seriously, she had high expectations and naturally did her best to not allow anything to happen. This was also why when she learned of Landlord Wang’s actions, she did not intervene immediately.
“Then everyone can rest in the guest room first. After a while, the servants will come and bring you there.”
“I will also arrange for a servant to inform your relatives in the village so that they will not worry.”
“Sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Xie.” Madam Liu naturally bowed and thanked her.
Soon, Mrs. Xie left. She still had to prepare for the banquet. There were many things to do. It was already very important for her to come personally to inform Ye Muyu and the others.
However, Madam Liu and the others did not feel this deeply. They thought that Madam Xie treated everyone .
Ye Muyu thought for a moment and said, “Mother, you and Fifth Aunt can stay in the Xie family and help me look after the two children. I want to go out and ask about the situation. Also, you can get news from my husband’s side through the butler at the bookstore.”
Ye Muyu smiled, ‘Mother, isn’t there still Han Zhuang?” Landlord Wang couldn’t even catch me previously. Now that Landlord Wang’s family has been
arrested and thrown into prison, how can he have the chance to catch me?”
“We don’t have to be so frightened. There aren’t many people like Landlord Wang. With his precedent, the other landowners and gentry in the county will definitely not dare to act rashly. We just have to live our lives normally like before.”
“You’re right, I’m worrying too much.” Madam Liu nodded and stopped her.
“Bring Ah Xing along then.”
“Alright.” Ye Muyu naturally would not reject Madam Liu’s good intentions.
Ye Muyu brought Chu Xing out of the Xie residence and arrived at the bookstore.
The door of the bookstore was still closed. The shopkeeper followed them over and was about to open the door when the door was opened from the inside.
“Butler Luo? Why are you here?” Ye Muyu looked at Luo Qisheng in surprise.
“Madam, this lowly one is here to guard the shop. I’m afraid that the Wang family might set fire to this place. Before Master left, he instructed me to do this,” Luo Qisheng told the truth.
“He said that the bookshop is Madam’s blood and sweat, so it can’t be damaged.”
Ye Muyu was still complaining that Chu Heng did not wake her up when he left. At least she should have sent him off. However, seeing how he carefully arranged everything at home and how he was full of concern for her, her resentment disappeared. She missed him a little.
“Has my husband sent a letter?” Ye Muyu walked in and glanced at the shop. There was no change in the shop. It was clean and tidy. Even the inkstone that she had not washed before she left was still there. Without the owner’s instructions, the servants would not move.
Luo Qisheng closed the shop and followed behind her. He nodded respectfully. “It’s here. This old servant was planning to go to the Xie residence to look for you.”
“Let me see it.” Ye Muyu’s eyes flashed with joy.
Luo Qisheng handed the envelope to her and waved his hand, telling the others to go back to their own things.
Ye Muyu walked to the low table in the bookshop and sat down. This was the place where students usually read books. The floor was covered with a wool blanket, which was clean and tidy. There was even a soft cushion on it..
