Chapter 1344: Chapter 1341: Trust
“Today, the young miss looked at the account books, she has learned to calculate very well and can read the account books, the servant girl hardly needed to teach her.” Su Mei’s words were filled with appreciation for Chu Ziluo.
Ye Muyu had long known her daughter was smart, and upon hearing this, she wasn’t surprised.
“Once she finishes reviewing the residence’s account books, let her write some reflections,” Ye Muyu knew that Chu Ziluo’s contact with the housekeeper wasn’t early, in the capital, but if one were meticulous about managing a household, they often started learning at ten, although there were also many who were not favored and did not learn housekeeping, merely waiting to get married and take a nanny who knew housekeeping with them.
She didn’t care about other families’ situations, but felt that starting to learn housekeeping at ten was akin to mistreating the child, while studying was the most appropriate.
Of course, writing reflections after studying was beneficial for her to truly master this subject.
Su Mei nodded, indicating she understood.
During the time Ye Muyu was in confinement.
The capital was unexpectedly quiet.
On the Imperial Court, the topics of dispute still rested on the conflicts in the Northern Region.
After receiving two consecutive pieces of good news, the entire atmosphere at the court was much more relaxed.
At that time,
a letter was delivered to the Chu family.
Housekeeper Luo, upon seeing the envelope, noticed it had no signature, only stating it was personally started by Chu Heng.
“Who delivered this letter?” Housekeeper Luo turned it over and over but couldn’t find any identification, so he didn’t open it.
The gatekeeper shook his head: “Housekeeper, I don’t know. When I opened the gate this morning, I saw it already there, and there was no one outside; I didn’t see any suspect.”
Upon hearing this, Housekeeper Luo paused and then instructed: “Keep watch, and if someone else comes, monitor them, and inform me immediately if there’s any news.”
“Yes, the servant understands.”
Housekeeper Luo then sent someone to inform Chu Heng, who was at the yamen.
He himself went to the back yard.
“Housekeeper Luo? What brings you here?” Chun Xing was instructing the maidservants to wash the urine cloth the Third Young Master had changed.
Seeing Housekeeper Luo, she stopped to greet him.
Housekeeper Luo had thought it over several times before deciding to inform Ye Muyu.
He realized that, in the Chu family, things were more special than in others.
“Is the lady awake?” Housekeeper Luo asked.
“She’s awake,” Chun Xing nodded, “You have something for the lady?”
“Yes, I have something to report to the lady.”
Chun Xing went back into the room, talked to Ye Muyu, and soon Housekeeper Luo was called in.
“This is the situation. Someone delivered a letter to the master this morning at the door, but it was not signed, and I don’t know the reason, nor who sent it.”
“First, arrange for someone to investigate,” Ye Muyu pondered. “Have you informed the master over there?”
“Informed him.”
“Good, I understand.”
Ye Muyu took the letter and looked at it for a while, didn’t open it, and handed it to Housekeeper Luo to personally deliver to Chu Heng.
Not worried about leaks, as if there were important matters in the letter, it wouldn’t cause any delay.
Housekeeper Luo, upon hearing this, hurried to carry out the task.
Once he arrived at the Ministry of Revenue’s yamen, Chu Heng had just come out from inside.
Seeing Housekeeper Luo, his expression unchanged, said, “Come with me inside.”
“Yes.”
Chu Heng led the way into his office room, greeted colleagues he met, and then sat back at his desk.
The envelope was of the most ordinary paper, revealing no information whatsoever.
He opened the envelope, pulled out the letter inside, and skimmed through it quickly in mere moments.
His expression slightly altered, he instructed Housekeeper Luo, “Send someone back to South Origin Prefecture to check on Tongzhi Madam Zhang and also send a letter back home.”
Chu Heng quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Housekeeper Luo.
