Chapter 867: A Family

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The sky was already dark, and the snow had stopped falling. In winter in Jiangnan, it did not snow for long, and it did not even snow often.

“This servant doesn’t dare.” Su Mei became even more nervous.

Ye Muyu was speechless.

She felt that this method would not work, so she gently told a story about the harmonious co-existence between master and servant.

Slowly, Su Mei became less nervous and her conversation with Ye Muyu became more natural.

“Madam, today is the first winter snow and the weather has turned cold. This servant heard from the old nanny that it is not cold when it snows, but it is cold when it melts. At night, this servant will put two braziers in the room, is that okay?”

“Sure. When the time comes, open a hole in the window to prevent it from being too smelly.”

“By the way, do you have quilts in the servants’ room?” Ye Muyu asked as she walked along the corridor to the dining room.

“Madam, the servants have some winter bedding.” Su Mei did not expect Madam to care about whether she was cold or not, and the smile on her face widened a little.

Ye Muyu nodded. “That’s good. If it’s too cold, go to Butler Luo. Don’t catch a cold. Instead of spending the money on medicine, it’s better to wear thicker clothes and feel better.”

This was the first time Su Mei had heard such comments. Actually, everyone understood in their hearts, but as servants, how could they dare to say such things? Naturally, they would try their best not to get sick and delay their work. She only felt that Ye Muyu had a good personality, which made her feel uneasy and calm down.

Ye Muyu soon arrived at the dining room.

“Mother.” When Chu Jin saw her at the door, he rushed over like a small cannon. “Mother, you’re finally back. The school will be closed tomorrow. Can I play in the snow when I wake up in the morning?”

“If you wear thicker clothes, you won’t catch a cold and you can go play.” Ye Muyu patted his head and led him inside. “Have you been obedient to your grandparents these days?”

“Yes, Mother. I’m not a bad child. I’m very obedient.”

“The teacher often praises me in school.” Chu Jin pouted arrogantly and tugged at the hem of her clothes, acting coquettishly.

“Oh?” Ye Muyu asked with a smile. “What did the teacher praise you for?”

“The teacher said that I have a unique perspective and that I did well in my homework…The teacher even asked me to take the lead in reading.”

Ye Muyu knew that her son was treated well in the school.

He also went to Class C of the Academy.

There were three classes in Class C.

There was a children’s class inside, where children between the ages of six to nine were in the class.

The dean thought highly of Chu Heng, so he naturally took care of Lil’ Jin.

However, the child did not disappoint the dean either, so he was able to be accepted. The dean’s personality was not too biased.

“That’s great.” Ye Muyu knew what was going on and praised her son.

Chu Jin walked even more briskly.

“Ah Yu, you’re here. Come inside. It’s cold outside.” Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen were already sitting at the dining table.

They were all family, so there were no rules.

“Mother, I’ve troubled you for this period of time.” Ye Muyu walked over with a smile and sat down beside him. “I brought some gifts for you. I’ve already sent them to your rooms. We’ll take a look after dinner.”

“You went out to get busy and even prepared gifts for us. You’re just not afraid of trouble. You keep thinking about us wherever you go.”

Chu Jin also climbed onto the stool. “Grandma, Mother must be missing us. We’re a family.”

The child’s words made everyone laugh uncontrollably.
