Ye Muyu was very satisfied with Ziluo’s supple skin and chubby face, which she had never seen before.
Just as Ye Muyu was about to pinch her daughter’s cheeks affectionately, she heard Chu Heng’s voice from behind her.
“What’s wrong?” She got up in confusion and turned to look at him.
“Shouldn’t you help me choose a good set of clothes?” Chu Heng smiled like a spring breeze. He wore a light white robe that made people feel very comfortable. He did not have a strong aura at all.
However, Ye Muyu felt that this man was just pretending.
“I think you look good in this outfit.” Ye Muyu ignored him. She did not even have an excuse to reject him. “Ziluo, don’t you think so?”
“Father, you look really good in this outfit. You look like a gentleman.”
“Pfft.” Ye Muyu could not help but laugh. Did her daughter realize that these words would make people think that Chu Heng was a villain in the past?
Chu Heng also thought of this, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. But after all, it was his daughter who said it, and his wife doted on her daughter. What could he do? He endured it.
“Yes, Ah Yu, come out early. I think someone will come soon.”
“Alright.” This time, Ye Muyu did not hesitate.
Soon, Ye Muyu finished cleaning up Ziluo, and then Chu Jin.
Today, Master Lin would be here as well. Even the new teacher, Master Zhao, would be here.
The school had a break for a day. In fact, many children from the village had already run to Chu Heng’s house to watch the show. However, their elders had warned them not to cause trouble. Otherwise, they would be punished, and they would not be able to eat the pastries distributed by the Chu family.
The villagers would usually be reluctant to buy such pastries, so no one wanted to offend Chu Heng.
After all, anyone with a brain could see that as long as they did not offend Chu Heng, he was still very easy to get along with. At least, compared to the other high scholars, he was much more approachable.
Naturally, the elders in the family were responsible for controlling the children. The women who had no work to do were all guarding the children, afraid that the naughty children would cause trouble.
It had to be said that it was very comfortable to get along with people with good eyesight.
When Ye Muyu followed Madam Liu and Xiang Ling’er appeared at the door to welcome the guests.
The first to arrive was County Magistrate Xu, Old Master Xie, and Xie Yu.
There were also the families of the two families. Madam Xie only came alone and did not bring any of the girls from the family.
County Magistrate Xu also brought his wife, while Mrs. Xu brought her daughter, Xu Jiao’er, who had just come of age.
Xu Jiao’er looked like the daughter of a humble family. She looked kind when she smiled. She looked just like Mrs. Xu, it was easy to tell who the little girl had taken after.
“County Magistrate Xu, Old Master Xie.” Chu Heng greeted the two of them before introducing Ye Muyu, Madam Liu, and the others to Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie was supported by a servant girl as she slowly walked forward. She had a faint smile on her face. “Madam, Ah Yu, congratulations. As family members, you can finally be at ease..”
“Madam, please come in. Today, this old woman will be thick-skinned and call you Madam. It is also because of Ah Heng. Please don’t mind.”
“We’re all mothers. We can understand how you feel.” Mrs. Xu smiled and turned to Ye Muyu. Her smile did not fade. “This must be the Young Madam. She is indeed good-looking. No wonder High Scholar Chu likes her.”
