Chapter 870: News of the Rouge Shop
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Lan was shocked when she saw her actions. She lowered her voice and said, “Sumei, what are you doing? Before Master left, he instructed that Madam must not catch a cold.”
“It’s just a little. It’s not a big deal. Madam instructed me last night to open a little gap in the room to make it more comfortable.”
“I did the same thing last night. Master didn’t object.”
“But…” Su Lan was still a little worried. Last night, Chu Heng went straight to Madam’s courtyard to stay, and he even spoke so frighteningly.
“Alright, let’s stop talking. Otherwise, we might disturb Madam.”
After Su Mei was done, she pulled Su Lan out.
There was a front hall in front of the inner room, and there was also a soft couch here for the servants who usually stayed on night duty to rest.
After the two of them retreated, they guarded the soft couch.
“Is Madam’s personality really that good?” Su Lan asked Su Mei while doing needlework.
“Very good.” Su Mei nodded without hesitation.
“Then I’m relieved. As long as we do our job well, Madam won’t make things difficult for us.” Su Lan felt that it was easier to do needlework. Suddenly, she thought of something and smiled. “Madam and Master have a good relationship.”
Thinking of the water that Chu Heng had asked for last night, everyone in the house basically knew about it.
“Don’t say too much. Madam is thin-skinned, and Master doesn’t like people talking about their private matters. As personal maidservants, we have to keep our mouths shut,” Su Mei warned seriously.
Su Lan quickly nodded. “I understand. I won’t say much. I just couldn’t help but mutter.”
“I think you’re jealous that Madam married a good husband.”
“Aren’t you envious?” Su Lan poked her with her elbow.
Su Mei shook her head. “I’m envious, but I don’t want it to be . I’m afraid that I can’t keep this relationship. I might as well stay by Madam’s side and watch her and Master. I’m already very happy.”
“You’re so silly.” Su Lan was still young and did not quite understand what she meant.
“It’s already a blessing to meet a good master,” Su Mei said. “I don’t dare to think too much about other things. I won’t think about them.”
“Alright, let’s see if there’s hot water in the kitchen. It’s time for Madam to get up and wash up.”
Ye Muyu woke up at 9:00 AM.
Feeling the soreness in her body, her cheeks flushed slightly. She quickly lifted the blanket and got out of bed to get dressed.
“Madam, the shopkeeper of the rouge shop in the county is here to see you.” Su Mei was combing her hair when Su Zhu came in to pass the news.
“Tell them to wait in the front yard,” Ye Muyu said. “I’ll be right there.”
After combing her hair and changing her clothes, Ye Muyu went straight to the front hall.
Tang Dongfeng had been waiting for a long time. When he saw her coming over, he quickly went up to her. “Madam…”
“Sit down and talk slowly. There’s no hurry.”
“Did you eat breakfast?”
“Yes.” Tang Dongfeng quickly nodded.
“Then sit down and have some tea.”
“What’s going on?” Ye Muyu asked Su Mei to prepare breakfast in the kitchen. She poured herself a cup of honey grapefruit tea and drank it slowly.
“Madam, I’ve been paying attention to Liu Lu these days. As expected, I’ve noticed something fishy. The other party actually didn’t send messages by raising pigeons, but a puppy.”
“There was a bell on the dog’s neck and a letter stuffed inside the bell. If I hadn’t noticed that ink had been touched, I wouldn’t have noticed it.”
“After that, I found an opportunity to feed that dog every day. Perhaps Liu Lu thought that I didn’t notice anything and was just purely kind-hearted, she didn’t stop that dog from getting close to me.”
