Chapter 1762: Chapter 1759: Chat and Laughter

After playing with Nuanbao for a while and taking a nap, Ye Muyu got reply letters upon waking up.

She selected the three embroiderers whose status was the safest and instructed Su Mei to send the list to Tang Dongfeng, while also asking Tang Dongfeng to find two more waiters to help in the clothing store.

Nowadays, Bailan Pavilion is experiencing some business decline because of the change in the shopkeeper and some noble ladies avoiding suspicion, fearing association with the Gao Family, relegating it to a second-class shop, while Yonghe Clothing Shop has taken over its original position.

Originally, several century-old shops wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to expand, but in terms of popularity and competence, they couldn’t surpass Yonghe Clothing Shop, so they had to maintain their original state.

That night, when Chu Heng returned, he saw a dish of chilled double-skin milk on the low table, untouched, still kept cold with ice cubes, the curling white smoke giving it a dreamy feel.

Standing at the doorway, he greeted first, saying, “I’ll freshen up first.”

“Alright, I specially made this snack for you,” Ye Muyu nodded.

Chu Heng took a quick shower and changed into clean clothes, then walked over to find her surrounded by medical books, some flipped through, others untouched.

“Try it quickly,” Ye Muyu pushed the double-skin milk towards him.

Chu Heng sat down beside, took the bowl from the ice basin, and asked the servants to take the ice basin away, then reached out and touched her hand, finding it cold, his handsome eyebrows furrowed, saying, “Why put the ice basin so close, you don’t feel chilly?”

“Ah, I didn’t notice. I thought you could eat it right away when you returned, didn’t use too many ice cubes, it’s not hot tonight, worried that too cold food might not be good for your stomach,” Ye Muyu quickly explained.

Chu Heng, a bit helpless, reached out to tap her forehead lightly, “I’m worried about you catching cold, as for my stomach, it’s fine.”

“Then have a taste,” Ye Muyu asked eagerly.

She hadn’t made double-skin milk since winter began, unsure if the standard could be maintained.

Chu Heng took a bite first, felt it too cold, scooped another spoonful, and blew on it.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Muyu thought his action was strange, “Not cold enough?”

“Blowing it warm,” Chu Heng said in an exaggerated manner, and once he confirmed it wasn’t cold, he placed the spoon near her mouth, softly saying, “Taste it.”

Ye Muyu didn’t expect it but obediently ate it, smiling as she did, raising her mouth corner, “Thank you, dear, it’s delicious, not cold at all.”

“Have two more bites,” Chu Heng fed her.

Ye Muyu wasn’t particularly hungry, but she wouldn’t refuse Chu Heng’s kind gesture.

“I won’t eat anymore, you go ahead,” Ye Muyu waved her hand in refusal.

Chu Heng didn’t insist and finished the remaining double-skin milk in several bites.

“Why are you reading so many medical books?” Chu Heng asked, casually picking up a medical book to read.

Ye Muyu directly explained her morning visit to Lu Sangqi and recounted the conversation Liuye had with her.

“Indeed, I’ve heard of the kind of control-type drugs you’re talking about,” Chu Heng paused, “However, truly excellent drugs wouldn’t be detectable, and these kinds of drugs must use very rare materials, wouldn’t be used by ordinary people due to the high cost.”

“Of course, these drugs aren’t that magical. If they were that extraordinary, wouldn’t it be possible to control a prominent figure and take over the entire imperial court?”
