Chapter 1066: Chapter 1063: Very Busy

Ye Muyu first soaked the handkerchief, wiped the fresh blood clean from his chest, and then applied the medicine.

In her view was a scar as long as a finger on his firm chest, which not only did not mar his looks but added a sharper aura.

The moment Ye Muyu’s hand touched his skin, she felt it was somewhat hot.

“Do you have, a fever?” Ye Muyu frowned.

Chu Heng’s gaze rested on her face, silently watching her. After a moment, he finally replied, “It’s nothing.”

The medicine had been applied, and the wound below had already scabbed. He hadn’t bandaged it, as there was no gauze in the carriage. Ye Muyu had to give up the idea of bandaging, especially since not much blood was flowing.

“Did the doctor give you any medicine?” Ye Muyu asked.

Chu Heng hummed in affirmation, casually pulled out a medicine bottle from beside him, containing black pills. Ye Muyu handed him a water cup, and seeing him take the pills, she felt relieved.

The journey to the Manor was completed.

When they arrived, it was just before noon.

The Manor had a residence, which had been cleaned up by someone sent over the day before, and the family moved right in.

After having lunch,

The steward of the Manor had already been waiting at the entrance.

Ye Muyu arranged for some staff to stay with Chu Ziluo and Lil’ Jin, allowing them to go out and play around the Manor.

After making arrangements for the children, Ye Muyu then allowed the steward to come in.

“Lady, I am Zhang Shi.” A man dressed in a brown cotton garment came in, his hands full of calluses, showing he was accustomed to hard work.

“What is the situation at the Manor?” Now that winter had arrived, aside from some vegetables in the greenhouse, the fields were only filled with cabbages, radishes, and newly planted potatoes.

This Manor primarily cultivated grains and orchards.

The steward began reporting one by one: “The potatoes you brought over before have also been planted, but I’ve never grown them before. I can only do as you instructed, and I watch them very closely, but as for the yield…”

He really couldn’t guarantee it. In fact, the long-term laborers at the Manor were very worried about the newly planted crops, fearing they would spoil everything and, if so, that they might be sold off at the principal’s whim.

“Just follow my instructions, going too far is as bad as not going far enough.” Ye Muyu thought it over carefully and understood their concerns, then said, “I’ll go take a look.”

Ye Muyu then proceeded to the fields of the Manor with the steward.

Lu Chuan involuntarily looked at Chu Heng, who was still sitting on a stool inside the house.

“Sir, shall we also go?” Lu Chuan tentatively asked.

Chu Heng put down his teacup, his mood indistinct, “Is she usually this busy?”

“Yes, ever since the lady set the rules for the residence, the inner court rarely has much to do, of course, except when it’s necessary to deliver meals to the Zhao family.”

“In these past three months, the lady has used the watermelons previously sent from her old home to earn a sum of silver and buy a manor.”

“With the rouge shop’s success in Yuzhou, the lady bought some mountain land and planted fruit trees on it.”

“Now, the lady owns three manors, each cultivating vegetables, fruits, medicinal herbs, and livestock like pigs, cattle, and sheep.”

“The flour produced by the three manors is sent to a noodle workshop in Yuzhou City for processing. Nowadays, the noodles produced by the lady’s workshop are the most popular among the residents of Yuzhou City. They are cheaper than flour, more filling, and as they are dried, they can be preserved for a long time.”

“The sweet potatoes produced by the Manor are, like in her hometown, turned into sweet potato flour, which is even more popular than the noodles because sweet potatoes are cheaper.”
