Chapter 724: Care About Him

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Yes, the Yu family is involved. If anything happens, they will definitely be the first to be abandoned. We will pretend that we don’t know anything and watch the tigers fight.” Chu Heng was not worried that the Yu family would hate him because of today’s casual fight. Even if they really hated him, they would at most plot against him at the banquet. They would not directly deal with the Chu Clan like the Wang Clan did before.

Ye Muyu nodded. “That’s best. I don’t like to be remembered by others either. I’d better stay away from this kind of trouble.”

“Didn’t you want to sell rouge and cosmetic powder? Let’s go inside and discuss the shop to choose.” Chu Heng held her waist and walked into the house.

Ye Muyu saw Madam Hu and the others cleaning up the courtyard. She did not need to care, so she nodded and followed them into the house.

“The contracts of these shops are all here. Take a look.” Chu Heng took out a small wooden box and placed it beside her.

Ye Muyu opened it and saw a thick stack of contract books.

“So many?” Ye Muyu was flabbergasted. She felt that her speed of earning money was still too slow. It could not compare to the profits of Chu Heng’s caravan.

Even the bookshop had earned a few hundred taels of silver because of the provincial examination. At most, it could buy a small manor.

“What others have, Ah Yu, you have to have it too.” Chu Heng moved closer to her face and said gently, “Look, these two shops are in Nanchang County. Although the shop front isn’t big, we can open up the backyard and expand the shop front. We don’t need those walls.”

“Can we expand it directly? Won’t it violate the law?” Ye Muyu raised her eyebrows in surprise. Previously, she had read the Great Chu Law. It only mentioned the height of the wall. According to different identities, there were different requirements. It also mentioned the specifications of the houses that could be lived in according to different identities.

However, there was no mention of whether the shops could be changed at will.

Seeing that she did not understand, Chu Heng patiently explained to her. “This is not explicitly prohibited by the laws of Great Chu. Therefore, many people have modified their houses. The people above will not care about this.”

“Why wouldn’t they care?” Ye Muyu asked curiously.

Chu Heng reached out and pulled her back. “You lean against me first. I’ll explain it to you slowly.”

Ye Muyu was indeed a little tired, but she did not refuse. She took off her shoes and placed a small wooden table on the bed with a cushion behind it, making it a soft couch for reading.

Chu Heng did not sit alone. Instead, he sat beside Ye Muyu. “Let me massage your shoulders.”

As he spoke, he gently massaged her. His skills were average and a little rusty, but Ye Muyu was a little touched. “I’ll help you massage later.”

“Sure,” Chu Heng suddenly laughed. He felt a little guilty, especially when he saw Ah Yu getting up from time to time to walk around and secretly massage her back. It was all his fault for being too presumptuous last night.

After sending the guests away, he pulled his wife to rest and massaged her back.

Ye Muyu’s words made him very happy. His wife cared about him too.

Ye Muyu continued to flip through the deeds. The Wang family’s properties were all in the nearby counties, not too far away. The ones that Chu Heng bought were basically all close to Xingshui Village or Nanchang County.

In addition to the two shops in the county and a second-class residence, there was also an empty workshop that was suitable to be used as an ink workshop.

Other than that, only two other manors, Shu Manor and Lin Manor were under the jurisdiction of Nanchang County. As for the other three courtyards, Lu Manor was in Ye Muyu’s maiden village, Dazhu Village. The Li Manor and the Han Manor were in two villages under Lushui County. The largest manor, the Luo Manor, was in a village under Luoyun County.
