Chapter 1741: Chapter 1738: Play

Therefore, Ye Muyu wouldn’t ask too much, as long as she confirmed he was alright.

Upon hearing Wang Yuanyuan’s words, she felt as if the results had finally come.

“When did the news come out?” Ye Muyu asked.

Wang Yuanyuan eagerly replied, “It was this morning. I only found out before leaving home, so I came over to tell you this good news.”

“I heard Bailan Pavilion suffered quite a loss recently?” Wang Yuanyuan winked and smiled unreservedly, clearly aware of the recent conflict between the two stores.

Speaking of it, people were more concerned about how the young misses competed in elegance, while also pondering how to befriend them.

As for the rivalry between the two shops, more attention came from merchant families, interested in watching the spectacle. After all, Bailan Pavilion had monopolized the best clientele in the capital for years, arguably the top ready-made clothing shop in the capital. None could surpass it, though a few were close.

Ye Muyu smiled softly, “It’s just luck; no one expected several young misses to argue.”

“Exactly, I think Bailan Pavilion must regret what happened. Originally, they thought their store’s clothes were the best, not expecting your shop’s to be even better. Isn’t that too arrogant? They’ll face reality sooner or later.” Wang Yuanyuan laughed heartily, delighted, “I’ve found you’re really talented, Ah Yu. You don’t know, but over the New Year, Third Brother asked us to thank you. The pastry shop opened these years has earned quite a bit of silver.”

Initially, Xie Yu collaborated privately with Ye Muyu without involving his two older brothers, partly because he thought of himself as Chu Heng’s friend and didn’t want to entangle family, unexpectedly profiting much from it.

“I also earned silver effortlessly.” Ye Muyu said, her eyes smiling in crescents.

She originally took a share of the profits, practically receiving the silver for nothing.

Wang Yuanyuan, with eyes squinted in laughter, said, “Ah Yu, it’s your own ability.”

“What do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll have the kitchen maid prepare it.” Ye Muyu asked, in a very good mood.

Wang Yuanyuan wasn’t shy, pointing out a few of her favorite dishes.

Soon after, Madam Xie spoke to Ye Muyu about Xie Yu. Xie Yu got promoted from County Magistrate to an official in Yuzhou’s Prefectural City, steadily climbing up. As long as his annual evaluation was excellent, he could be promoted every three years.

Madam Xie then talked about Xie Yu’s marriage prospects.

“Sigh, I really don’t know what kind of wife to find for this child. He’s busy going to the yamen every day, personally handling every matter, and has no time even to look at potential matches. Do you think he’s being disobedient?”

Wang Yuanyuan advised from the side, “Mother, why not find a gentle, home-loving woman for Third Brother? This way, after he’s busy with official work, there’s hot food at home, and someone to manage the household, allowing him to focus on work. Third Brother has always been earnest. I’d find it strange if he didn’t focus on his duties.”

“I’d love to, but he doesn’t cooperate.”

Ye Muyu naturally wouldn’t meddle in such matchmaking affairs, only chatting casually about it. In the end, after discussing the matter, Madam Xie hadn’t decided on what to do, though Ye Muyu could see she was eager to push for his marriage.

After lunch, they saw the two off.

When Ye Muyu returned to the backyard to rest, Su Mei came forward to tell her the news about the Gao Family.

Ye Muyu held a toy in her hand, playing with Nuanbao while listening to Su Mei speak.
