Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2004: Chapter 2001: Adjust Your Attitude

Fortunately, the shop has been making money consistently, so she’s not worried about affording these talents.

However.

Supporting people is somewhat costly. It’s acceptable if there are few, but when there are many, it becomes somewhat burdensome. The most crucial point is that having too many people would leave noticeable traces, causing the Emperor to be suspicious.

She’s not interested in offending the Emperor and just wants to live her own life well.

Ye Muyu suddenly had an idea.

She continued to inquire about the details of Liuye’s usual training: “When you practice martial arts, how much daily training time is required to improve?”

“Huh? Training?” Liuye thought seriously for a moment before replying: “On regular days, ensuring two hours of training each day is sufficient.”

“The servant girl usually trains in the morning and evening each day.”

Ye Muyu calculated the time and realized that two hours in a day is not a lot.

“Alright, I understand.”

“You may go and rest now. There’s bound to be nothing much going on here for the next few days, so take care and heal your injuries. When we return to the capital, I will need you.” Ye Muyu arranged for the two to go and recover.

Su Mei pulled Liuye, who was unwilling to leave and wanted to endure the pain.

After Ye Muyu left with the guards and maidservants.

Liuye then asked: “Su Mei, why did you stop me just now? I’m still worried. The people around the lady aren’t as skilled as I am.”

“I’m thinking of making amends for my mistakes.”

Su Mei remained extremely calm: “Following orders is the way to make amends. If we return to the capital and appear injured beside the lady, what would others think?”

Upon hearing this, Liuye started to reflect on whether her thinking was incorrect.

Seeing her slightly furrowed brows without immediately disputing her words, Su Mei felt satisfied and reminded her: “Liuye, I know your loyalty and good intentions, but remaining at the Chu family’s service, serving the Master and lady, the most important thing is to follow their commands. They are smart people and know better what to do than we do.”

“You may not understand why the Master and lady give such orders, but you have to understand that following orders is paramount, followed by understanding the reasons behind them.”

Liuye felt embarrassed.

She also realized she had made another mistake.

Because of the lady’s kindness, sometimes she would intervene in matters concerning the lady, possibly without realizing it.

If it were other masters, if she had just expressed opposition, she might have angered them.

Thinking this, Liuye felt a wave of fear.

Su Mei was the first to walk towards the servants’ quarters: “Let’s go, recover from your injuries, don’t think too much, you’ve got plenty to do now, healing, martial arts training, these tasks are enough to keep you busy.”

Liuye looked somewhat troubled, ultimately following Su Mei as they left.

When Ye Muyu arrived at the guest room, Wang Yuanyuan and Lady Zhou were playing with the family’s girls and children by the hot spring.

Chu Ziluo was the first to see Ye Muyu and quickly called out: “Mother!”

“Are you okay?”

“No problem.” Ye Muyu looked puzzled: “I’m not injured, not a thing is wrong.”

“I see… That’s good.” Chu Ziluo immediately understood something.

She had just heard about the injury, which was brought back by Wang Yuanyuan and Lady Zhou.

At the time, she was accompanying Huo Hongyan and others. After the incident, the guards outside their room had been standing guard closely and never came out.

Lady Zhou saw that Ye Muyu didn’t look like someone who was injured.
