Song Lu accompanied Chu Heng and the other students to have tea.

They were discussing the questions of the provincial examination.

Chu Heng did not hide anything. He told them all the questions and his own opinions.

Dean Zhang listened from the side and nodded in satisfaction.

Speaking of which, he considered Chu Heng to be his student, but not Xie Yu.

Now that his student had passed the high scholar examination, it was a matter of honor for him.

Almost no one mentioned Chu Hongmei again throughout the entire process.

After Ye Muyu sent the guests away, she did not disturb the students’ discussion. She instructed Madam Hu to serve tea regularly while she changed into ordinary clothes and went to the kitchen with the servants who helped her.

Madam Liu wanted to stay behind to help, but Ye Muyu said, “Mother, go back and rest. There are people here and they don’t need you. You haven’t seen Eldest Aunt for a long time. Go and have a chat.”

“If I’m busy, I’ll ask Lu Chuan and the others for help.”

The only people helping out in the kitchen were the two old women from the fruit forest, Old Madam Zhang and Old Madam Jiang.

Old Madam Zhang was the wife of Zong Fu, who was in charge of the fruit forest. The two of them only had one daughter, who was already married. Old Madam Jiang was Niu Rong’s wife and had a son, Niu Hao. He was busy today, so he came over to help.

The two women washed the dishes quickly, so they naturally did whatever Madam Ye Muyu ordered them to do.

With two people around, there were only seven or eight tables of bowls and chopsticks. It was not a lot. Moreover, the weather was not cold at this time, so they could be washed quickly with warm water.

Seeing this, Madam Liu no longer refused and told Ye Muyu to call her if she needed help.

Ye Muyu nodded.

“Mother, I don’t like Second Grandaunt today.” Chu Ziluo came over and squatted beside Ye Muyu to help her wash the dishes. She said this with a frown.

When she saw Ye Muyu looking over, she smiled widely again. She hugged Ye Muyu’s arm and acted coquettishly. “But Mother is great. I think Second Grandaunt is very angry. She bullied Mother, so she should be chased away.”

“Mother, will Second Grandaunt come again in the future?” Ziluo asked worriedly.

“Mother did this today because your grandaunt is thick-skinned. We have to be even more thick-skinned than her when dealing with people like her.” Ye Muyu gave her daughter a lesson.

“As long as she gives herself away, it’ll be a chance to kick her out.”

“Mother, how do you tell if the other party is thick-skinned?” Ziluo asked curiously.

Ye Muyu said,” She’s a thick-skinned person. She’s the one who says unpleasant things and persuades others to listen to her. She’s too direct. She’s clearly very close to Mother when she just met her. She’s meddling in our family’s affairs. If you treat such a person more politely, she’ll continue to mock you.”

“That’s why I can’t tolerate it. I have to find a similar topic to talk about. If the other party gets angry and makes a scene, I can chase her away.” Chu Ziluo’s eyes lit up.

Ye Muyu knew that she would slowly understand these principles. She nodded. “That’s right. You will see more in the future. If there is anything you don’t understand, just ask me.”

“Mother, I will.” Chu Ziluo clenched her little fists. She had wanted to rush out today, but her mother had stopped her. Her mother had said that she was too young to be involved in this matter, so she had to work hard to grow up and not let her mother suffer anymore.

“Okay, go play with your friends,” Ye Muyu said.

Chu Ziluo shook her head. “Mother, I’ll wash the dishes for you before we go play.”

Ye Muyu saw her serious expression and did not stop her.
