Chapter 1801: Chapter 1798: Explanation

Ye Muyu blinked her eyes and took another bite of the bun. With food in her mouth, her voice was muffled: “Well, Ziluo, the sachet is quite personal. If others find out you’re giving it to Zhongjin, it might spread unfavorable gossip.”

“I know you’ve been close since childhood, but others might not see it that way.” Ye Muyu said softly.

Chu Ziluo was aware of this, but she felt guilty, and besides, she had already agreed to it yesterday.

“Mother, I understand what you’re saying, and I’ve thought it through carefully. Brother Zhongjin’s sachet was given to him by the abbot master when he was young, and it was blessed in the temple.”

“He’s kept it all these years, surely because of its commemorative significance. I looked at the stitching, and I can replicate it completely. It actually looks somewhat like mine. Would you like to see it first?” Chu Ziluo explained softly, looking at Ye Muyu without daring to push, always seeking her opinion.

Ye Muyu was somewhat surprised and exclaimed: “Let me have a look, eh.”

Chu Ziluo handed her the sachet: “This is Brother Zhongjin’s. I’ve also made a new one for myself.”

One new and one old, the differences were easily noticeable.

Ye Muyu held one in each hand and after looking for a while, found them increasingly familiar: “Ziluo, is this really your imitation? I feel like the stitching habits of both are quite similar.”

“I intentionally modeled it after Brother Zhongjin’s sachet. I too find them similar. Perhaps because I gave them to the temple back then, and it was passed on to Brother Zhongjin?” Chu Ziluo guessed.

Ye Muyu knew about this. When they sent things to the temple back then because of Li Chongjin, there was a sachet specifically blessed, which everyone in the family had, containing a safety talisman from the temple.

If Li Chongjin had such a sachet, it wouldn’t be surprising.

However, Ye Muyu thought, things couldn’t be so coincidental.

Li Chongjin was a smart child. Ye Muyu never doubted this. He kept wearing the sachet, its significance was obvious. But why carry a sachet made by family, rather than by someone else?

Was it because he cherished the bond from then, or was it…

Ye Muyu’s fingers tightened a bit, instinctively raised her head, glanced at Chu Ziluo, and realized that Ziluo had grown up, no longer the little girl she once was.

The grown-up Ziluo inherited good looks from both, with fair skin, features not exquisitely made, yet very fitting together, giving her a pleasant allure. Adding her youthful age, wearing bright-colored clothes made her look lively, but her calm nature subdued her liveliness, making her appear sweet and cute, enough to attract a few more glances.

“So, what did Zhongjin say to you yesterday? Did he also want you to make a show pouch as compensation?” Ye Muyu curiously asked, suppressing her inner speculations.

Chu Ziluo never hid anything from her, “It was my suggestion, Brother Zhongjin didn’t refuse. I think he genuinely cares about this sachet.”

“Besides, I promised before that I’d make him a sachet, but never did it. After coming to the capital, it wasn’t easy to keep in touch.”
