Chapter 2195: Chapter 2192: Simpleton

"Second Sister-in-law, you too, Second Brother treats you well." Ye Muyu had already guessed that Madam Wang was here today because of the content in today’s official newspaper.

Now that she finally asked, Ye Muyu felt that things were normal.

Hence, she remained very calm.

When Madam Wang was leaving, she was still a bit misled by this reaction.

Walking on the road, she couldn’t help but sigh to Chu Cai beside her, "Look at Third Brother, he’s always so good to Third Brother’s Wife, and that’s why she’s so calm about the family rules Third Brother mentioned today."

Chu Cai didn’t catch her underlying meaning and nodded honestly, "The relationship between Third Brother and Third Brother’s Wife is indeed good."

Madam Wang: "..." Why is her man such a blockhead!

Can’t even say something nice.

Chu Cai received a glare from Madam Wang and was still a bit puzzled.

"What did Third Brother just say to you?" Madam Wang was frustrated and, grinding her teeth, switched to a similar topic.

Chu Cai thought for a moment and, out of habit, told her everything without hiding anything: "Third Brother just mentioned his recent situation to me and then told me that he’s been sending people to protect our residence. But to prevent us from being conned, he gave us a heads-up so we wouldn’t be caught off guard."

"Do you think I’m like you?" Madam Wang sighed, thoroughly giving up hope of her straightforward husband saying anything pleasant; it seemed faster to dream about it.

Chu Cai didn’t dare to retort; he really was kind-hearted and wouldn’t assume the worst about everyone.

He accepted his wife’s glare gracefully, then suddenly scratched his head, "Oh, I remember Third Brother also said that the family rules mentioned in the official newspaper were just for his branch of the family, after all, we’ve already separated."

"...Oh." Madam Wang was so angry she felt a tightness in her chest and shot a dangerous glance at the man next to her, thinking unkindly that perhaps she should make him more unattractive so he wouldn’t even think about enjoying the benefits of having multiple partners!

Then she heard Chu Cai mutter, "But I think Third Brother is always reasonable in whatever he does; concubines and illegitimate children are the roots of family trouble. Many large families end up bankrupt and in ruins because of disputes between heirs, so I’d rather make more wooden tools."

Madam Wang’s expression was twisted for a moment, but then a smile surfaced as she patted his shoulder, "I also think Third Brother’s way of doing things makes sense. Otherwise, how can he be so capable? It’s good that you’re learning from him."

Chu Cai nodded in full agreement, "I knew you’d agree with what I said."

"Who in the clan doesn’t thank Third Brother? In a few years, maybe some of our clan will become scholars. It’s just a shame that our generation is too old to learn."

Madam Wang secretly rejoiced in her heart, but didn’t point it out, just walked with a noticeably lighter step.

It made Chu Fu notice something unusual.

But he was also smart enough to pretend not to see it.

After all, the conditions at home are better than those of some classmates at the school.

He didn’t want, at his age, to have his own father bring out an illegitimate brother.

The next morning.

Ye Muyu, taking advantage of the fact that the capital’s ladies were still pondering whether or not to visit her,

went out first to the medicine shop.

Upon entering, she did see Lu Sangqi at his spot, consulting with a patient, her smile carrying some depth.

"Sangqi, how come you’re so free to stay here these days?" Ye Muyu walked over and asked deliberately.
