Chapter 2081: Chapter 2078: Sunburned

“I could install underfloor heating then, that way we won’t be cold during winter.”

Ye Muyu was flooded with countless ideas as soon as she thought about it.

Chu Heng saw her smile and relaxed, taking her hand and kissing it.

Ye Muyu was startled, guiltily glanced around, and only relaxed after seeing no one noticed. She stood up and quickly pushed Chu Heng away: “If you’re fine, go back and accompany Nuanbao. I’ve been so busy lately I haven’t had time to be with him.” Ye Muyu said this with a tinge of guilt.

After all, Nuanbao was just one year old, still a baby. You can’t just leave him at home unattended because he’s well-behaved; that would be too irresponsible.

She felt a little guilty saying this.

Chu Heng didn’t refuse, only asked Ye Muyu to accompany him to the gate before riding the carriage back home.

Ye Muyu was busy with her duties and didn’t notice that many people working in the courtyard saw her intimate gesture with Chu Heng.

They were shocked at first but didn’t mention it.

More felt uneasy, afraid of stepping into the private affairs of these wealthy families.

Ye Muyu didn’t know she was misunderstood as a ‘mistress.’

At this moment, she had called Lu Chuan to hire two artisans skilled in kiln burning.

She first began restoration according to some famous ancient kilns she remembered.

As some people were diverted over.

Other places progressed more slowly.

But Ye Muyu regarded the cement issue as more important, because it would be needed a lot in the future. Everything else was minor and could be delayed without affecting the main tasks.

She took a dozen people and started building the kiln.

With the green bricks and clay already prepared, they could move much faster.

Ye Muyu bent over and helped lay the bricks herself.

Somewhat disregarding minor matters.

The strong workers watched with surprise but soon restrained themselves from asking questions.

After all, it was best to keep quiet if you could stay and work.

Liuye was helping on the side. “Second Manager, should I do it?”

To make it easier, Liuye had also changed into men’s clothing. She was strong, responsible for carrying bricks as training, no worse than the strong workers. And crucially, she moved lightly and quickly.

“No need, it’s just bricklaying, I can manage for a while.” Ye Muyu intended to strengthen herself.

Her health was restored, but as an ordinary person, she definitely couldn’t match Liuye, who practiced martial arts, let alone a martial master like Chu Heng.

She thought exercising would be beneficial for her long-term health, allowing her to accompany Chu Heng and the children longer. Besides paying attention to diet, she shouldn’t skip necessary exercise.

Liuye seemed like she had something to say but stopped. Seeing Ye Muyu busy and sweating, her delicate skin turning slightly red, Liuye was somewhat impressed.

“My lady, I brought ointment. Your neck is sunburned, why not apply some ointment first?”

After another hour passed.

Liuye, slightly sweaty, noticed Ye Muyu’s silence despite the sweat and admired her. However, she also noticed her skin had an abnormal red color, likely sunburned.

Ye Muyu straightened up, feeling some pain around her neck. She had been engrossed in the work before, ignoring the discomfort.

Pausing now and listening to Liuye’s words, she remembered there was no sunscreen back then, and with her well-nourished skin, sunburn was possible.

“Alright, I’ll apply some ointment first.”
