“I heard what you said just now,” Mrs. Xie went forward to help her up.

“I was the only one who heard it. I wanted to talk to you. I’ve already arranged for the servants to send Mrs. Chu and the two children back to rest. Shall we go to my courtyard?”

“It would be impolite for me to refuse your kind invitation.” Ye Muyu did not expect her to say it directly. She felt more comfortable and was willing to be friends with Mrs. Xie, so she followed her to the inner courtyard.

Ye Muyu saw a garden full of lotus flowers when she arrived at the courtyard.

This season was the time when the lotus flowers bloomed.

Not only that but there was also a flower rack beside the courtyard. On it were all kinds of precious peonies, chrysanthemums, and so on.

Ye Muyu only took a glance and felt that it was too beautiful to look at.

“Do you like these flowers?”

“These flowers are all gifts that my eldest and second sons usually buy when they go out to do business. They said that since I like flowers, they would buy them whenever they saw beautiful ones. Actually, I don’t need so many. Ah Yu, take a look at which one you like and bring a pot back later. Flowers that are admired are beautiful. I don’t usually have time to admire them much. It’s a pity.” Mrs. Xie generously asked Ye Muyu to pick without any reluctance.

Without waiting for Ye Muyu’s reply, she continued, “You probably don’t know which kind of flower is easy to grow. These red peonies are easier to grow. You just need to water it in the pot. It’s suitable for your family.”

As soon as Mrs. Xie finished speaking, a servant girl immediately took away the flowers she had chosen, as if she wanted to give them to Ye Muyu directly.

“Oh right, I smell a faint fragrance on your body. What kind of flower sachet are you using?”

Ye Muyu did not even have the chance to reject the flowers. Mrs. Xie had already arranged everything neatly. She thought about it and felt that it would be unreasonable to refuse again, so she accepted it generously. She took off the handkerchief from her waist with a smile and handed it to Mrs. Xie. “Actually, it’s not a sachet. It’s made of white orchid essential oil. After soaking the handkerchief in it, it will have a faint fragrance.”

“Oh? Is this the smell of white orchids? It smells good,” Madam Xie sniffed curiously. “But I’ve never noticed this flower before.”

“It’s normal that Madam doesn’t know. After all, white orchids are just a type of ordinary flower from the countryside. It cant be considered famous.”

“I’ve seen too little. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll take a look too.” Mrs. Xie sighed sincerely.

“If you don’t mind, I’ll pick some and send them to the residence when I get back. If you like them, you can plant them too.”

“Thank you in advance.” Mrs. Xie gently patted the back of her hand and whispered, “Peonies and such are all hidden rules between rich families. The madams all compete with each other. I don’t really like them. Scholar Chu will definitely have some achievements in the future. You will have to face these madams and ladies more often in the future. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just come and ask me. Otherwise, you will be seen as a joke by others. There will be a lot of gossip behind your back.”

“Thank you for your advice, Mrs. Xie.” Ye Muyu sighed. Mrs. Xie had given her some advice. As the mistress of the Xie family, she definitely knew a lot about these things. However, she also had her own pride and was not willing to tell anyone.

This favor was not small.

Ye Muyu thought about how she could repay Mrs. Xie.

“You don’t have to be so polite with me. Do whatever you feel comfortable with. I’m only telling you the truth.” Mrs. Xie gently patted the back of her hand and ordered the servants behind her to leave..
