Chapter 41: Five Taels Less
EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Then, a new question popped up. Why did Madam Ye’s personality suddenly change?
From a vulgar and stingy village woman to a… clever woman…
Chu Heng was deep in thought, then found a stool and sat down.
Ye Muyu felt the flickering light and quickly reached out to cover it. After the light stabilized, she looked up at Chu Heng with a suspicious look. “Are you going to rest?”
“Yeah.” Chu Heng nodded.
Ye Muyu thought for a moment, then stood up and put away the sewing basket, placing it on the table by the window.
“Have you washed your feet?” Ye Muyu turned around and asked.
Chu Heng shook his head.
Ye Muyu nodded and went into the kitchen.
The pot of water in the kitchen was already a little cold. She built another fire to heat up the water.
Chu Heng followed her out of the east wing and placed the basin into the room.
Chu Ziluo and Chu Jin would share one.
Ye Muyu first filled the water and supervised the two children to wash their feet.
When she came back, she found that Chu Heng had just poured hot water for her, as if he was waiting for her to come back and wash her feet.
“Go ahead.” Chu Heng glanced at her and said calmly.
Ye Muyu did not know what the man was thinking. She could not figure it out, so she stopped thinking and sat down on a stool.
She took off her cloth shoes and saw that the white brocade socks she was wearing were already dark brown. It was obvious that she had worn them for a long time.
The socks were similar to the undergarments, they needed to be washed and changed frequently.
However, the original owner could not bear to throw away the socks made of brocade, so she kept wearing them until the color changed.
It was to show the nobility of being a scholar’s wife. From her memories, she knew that many ordinary people did not have the conditions to wear socks, and the materials used for socks were also different.
To be able to use silk made one superior.
Ye Muyu quietly took off the socks and threw them to the side, planning to stop using them.
Ye Muyu put her feet into the water and started to soak them slowly.
Chu Hengs gaze was fixed on her, his eyes emotionless. After washing his feet, he saw that Ye Muyu was still soaking her feet. He wiped his feet first and sat on the bed with a book in his hand.
Ye Muyu was not affected by him. Although Chu Heng was cold and harsh, Ye Muyu was a person of few words. She felt that it was much easier to get along with such a smart and self-disciplined person.
Moreover, after spending the day together, she realized that Chu Heng was very clean, so she was even more satisfied.
After patiently soaking her feet, Ye Muyu got up to pour the water on her feet and washed the basin clean. She went to check on the two children and made sure that they were all asleep. After that, she checked the courtyard door again before returning to the east wing.
In the room, Chu Heng sat cross-legged on the bed and looked straight at her.
Ye Muyu’s eyes widened slightly, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. “What’s the matter?”
Chu Heng pushed a money pouch in front of her.
“This is the living expenses for the next three months.”
Ye Muyu remembered that Chu Heng did give the original host living expenses once every three months.
She followed him and sat down. She reached out her hand very naturally, took the money bag, and poured out the silver inside.
She counted and found that there were roughly fifteen taels.

It was five taels less than the previous twenty taels.
Could it be that Chu Heng had a financial problem?
Ye Muyu wanted to ask, but she felt that this was Chu Heng’s private matter. This man probably would not tell her, so she hesitated.
Chu Heng saw that she did not get angry and asked why the silver was so little, and he felt strange.
“Yes, I understand.” Ye Muyu decided to earn money by herself. Chu Heng would continue to take the imperial examinations in the future, so he would probably have to spend even more money..
