Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was extremely difficult for an individual to shake a clan. However, if a clan wanted to shake another clan, the outcome would be different.
“Go ahead. Ask Lu Chuan to accompany you.” Ye Muyu did not know how long it would take for him to go there, so he could go earlier and come back earlier.
Chu Heng nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something and took out a silver hairpin from his waist.
Seeing Ye Muyu’s bright eyes looking over, Chu Heng, who had always been unmoved, paused for a moment.
“This is a gift for you.” Chu Heng reached out and grabbed Ye Muyu’s hand, placing the hairpin in her palm before letting go.
Ye Muyu lowered her head. Under the dim yellow light, she saw a beaded silver hairpin lying on her palm. It was exquisitely carved and was worth a lot of money.
“How much did this cost?” Ye Muyu could not help but ask. She also said, “Ah Xing came back this afternoon. He gave me 117-5 taels of silver. He said it’s the profits earned from selling Zhuge Locks. ”
“I thought I promised Xiao Jin before that I would save this silver for him. When he grows up, I’ll slowly give it to him. After all, it’s the money that the child earned through his own hard work.” “Ah Xing also gave Zi Luo and me a pearl. I think it’s worth a lot.”
“What gift do you think we should return?
Ye Muyu expressed her thoughts gently.
When Chu Heng heard the word ‘pearl’ , his eyes flashed. He quickly regained his composure and nodded. “It’s just a few taels of silver. It’s not worth much. If you’re willing to save it for Lilt Jin, then save it. I trust you anyway.”
“As for Ah Xing’s return gift, when Ah Xing holds a banquet or gets married, you can give him a generous gift to make up for it.”
Ye Muyu nodded. “You’re right. If we give him a gift alone, I’m afraid Ah Xing will find an excuse to send it back. It’s better to prepare more gifts on such a
joyous occasion so that outsiders will think highly of Ah Xing.”
“I know that you are protecting him.” Ye Muyu could not help but smile as she spoke. Her eyes seemed to spit out stars.
Chu Heng felt as if he had been bewitched. He wanted to place her like a star and place her where he could see her when he raised his head for the rest of his life.
He thought that that place might be his heart.
“Nonsense, I’m just protecting you.”
Chu Heng’s serious attitude concealed the joy in his heart.
Ye Muyu blinked her eyes. She avoided his gaze and her ears turned slightly red. Chu Heng smiled when he saw her like this and leaned over to her cheek.
Shocked, Ye Muyu subconsciously stepped back. Under her long eyelashes, her dark and bright eyes were even more eye-catching.
“Don’t worry. If you don’t agree, I won’t touch you.”
As he spoke, he placed his large palm on her head and gently stroked it twice.
She turned around and quickly walked out of the living room. Lu Chuan immediately took a lantern and followed her.
Ye Muyu and the others had walked far away before she finally reacted. She let out a sigh of relief and pursed her lips slightly as if the heat on her face had not dissipated. Her ears suddenly turned red.
“Liar,” she muttered softly.
Madam Hu only knew that Ye Muyu and Chu Heng had spoken. She waited for Chu Heng to leave before knocking on the door and coming in to clean up the dishes.
Ye Muyu reached out to hold her hand and looked at the back of her hand to make sure that the injury was not serious.
“Madam, this servant’s hand is rough, so you shouldn’t touch it.” Madam Hu subconsciously wanted to pull back her hand. She knew that Ye Muyu was concerned about her, so she was gratified in her heart and her hand movements were much slower.
“Remember to ask Uncle Zhang to apply more ointment on his hands,” Ye
Muyu said. “I’m afraid his hand’s injury will be more serious..”
