Chapter 2299: Chapter 2296: Gratitude

After all, she actively sent people to plant trees.

Chu Heng’s hand gently brushed against her waist, making Ye Muyu feel a bit ticklish. She wanted to avoid it but thought there was no need, so she simply let him pinch and prod until she couldn’t stand it anymore and then slapped his hand away.

"Don’t mess around." Ye Muyu looked at the scarf in front of her with a missed stitch and felt a bit annoyed.

Chu Heng smiled affectionately and rested his head on her shoulder: "Isn’t this just to verify what you said? After pinching, you haven’t gained weight, don’t worry."

"Besides, it’s good to gain a bit of weight, being thin as a pole isn’t attractive."

Ye Muyu glanced at him with meaningful eyes: "Oh, a pole isn’t attractive, so you like curvy beauties."

"I don’t like them. I only like you." Chu Heng kissed the corner of her mouth.

Ye Muyu failed to bait him and ended up having affection taken advantage of instead. Her ears turned a bit red, but she was in a great mood. She pushed his arm: "Don’t hold me so tight. Do you want the scarf or not? I can’t move my hands with you like this." Despite her words, she found a comfortable position, leaned into his embrace, and continued knitting the scarf.

Actually, her needlework skills were quite average, completely outdone by the embroiderers. The clothes Chu Heng usually wore when going out were of the best quality from Yonghe.

She couldn’t understand why he was still not satisfied.

Chu Heng didn’t say anything, just silently loosened his hold a bit. After ensuring it wouldn’t affect her work, he began to handle his own affairs.

The two worked on their own tasks in harmony.

Even without talking, the atmosphere was great.

When Ye Muyu knitted halfway, she realized it was getting late and rubbed her eyes: "What hour is it?"

"Time to sleep." Chu Heng looked at the time, rubbed his brows, and didn’t expect he’d actually lost track of the hour.

"Hmm, I thought I was feeling sleepy." Ye Muyu yawned.

Chu Heng stood up, "After washing up, go to sleep. Staying up late isn’t good for your health."

Ye Muyu didn’t argue with this statement.

After all, she’s been pretty organized lately, doing only a few things and doesn’t need to stay up late.

She put down the yarn and got off the soft couch, calling Su Mei to bring some hot water. After washing up, she went to bed first.

When Chu Heng came over, he lay beside her, pulling her into his arms. Half asleep, Ye Muyu remembered something and mumbled against his chest, "Don’t forget to send people to return the gifts to the convoy."

"Got it, sleep now." Chu Heng soothed her gently.

Ye Muyu soon fell asleep.

In the following days, Ye Muyu stayed in the manor and seldom went out.

Even the renovations at Jingyuan were almost complete, and the hired workers had finished their tasks and returned home.

They received a decent monthly salary and could use tickets to buy discounted cotton clothes produced by Yonghe Clothing Shop.

Since Yonghe Clothing Shop didn’t have much cotton, they couldn’t lower the price of cotton clothes, thus there was a limit on quantity.

Only twenty pieces were sold daily, and they had to be purchased based on identity.

As a result, most of the poor folks would wait early at the door; if they were late, they basically couldn’t buy anything.

The hired workers were even more grateful to Ye Muyu for getting clothing tickets.

Especially when they later learned that the one working alongside them was actually Madam herself.

They became even more excited.

After all, given their status, how could they work alongside the employer? The hierarchy was rigid, and Ye Muyu’s actions were seen by them as demeaning prestige to work together.

After leaving Jingyuan, hiring workers for Ye Muyu became incredibly smooth.
