Chapter 1573: Chapter 1570: Little Schemes

“Now he’s still young, the servant girl and the child’s father aren’t in a hurry. Being able to spend the New Year with the lady makes the servant girl feel at ease. Besides, since the lady can use a servant girl now, how could I leave?”

“It’s actually fine, the residence has arranged for the servants to take shifts.” Ye Muyu was somewhat surprised, thinking that this year the family was preparing to celebrate the New Year with close relatives.

Since Aunty Hu wanted to stay, she no longer refused. Now that there was one more person to take care of Chu Heng, she felt reassured.

She came out of the small kitchen.

Liuye stayed in the small kitchen, watching the fire with Aunty Hu.

Ye Muyu returned indoors and had just closed the door when she heard sounds from the bed.

Turning around, she saw Chu Heng propping himself up on the bed, trying to sit up.

She quickly walked over to help him up and arranged a soft pillow, “Why are you busy getting up? It’s better to lie down properly.”

“After sleeping for a bit, I’m feeling better and don’t want to lie down anymore.” Chu Heng’s voice was somewhat hoarse, carrying the drowsiness of just waking up.

Ye Muyu, after waiting for him to sit properly, got up to pour a cup of hot tea to warm his throat.

“I’ve asked the small kitchen to simmer black chicken soup for you. The main kitchen has prepared quite a lot of food and has also cooked chicken soup, but it’s a bit greasy. I’m worried you might not be able to drink it now, so I didn’t have it brought over. If there’s anything you want to eat, I’ll have the main kitchen send it over. The black chicken soup needs to simmer a while longer.”

Chu Heng wasn’t very hungry, especially after getting injured, he didn’t have much appetite.

But seeing Ye Muyu bustling about, making all arrangements carefully, he opened his mouth and, after pondering for a moment, said, “I remember you mentioned making some candied hawthorn sticks, I’d like to have some.”

“Candied hawthorn sticks?” Ye Muyu frowned, “You can’t eat that now. It’s an appetite stimulant, and you haven’t eaten for a long time. Eating it would make you hungrier.”

“But eating just a little can be beneficial for your health. I’ll make you some cakes with hawthorn flavor.” Ye Muyu said, standing up and turning to exit.

Chu Heng hadn’t managed to stop her before she disappeared out of sight.

He smiled softly, reaching for a book from the headboard’s bookcase, glanced over at the small bed where Nuanbao was peacefully resting, quietly recovering inside the house.

Ye Muyu was quite fast.

She was really worried about Chu Heng being hungry.

In just fifteen minutes, she not only brought over hawthorn and red date cakes but also pork foot and soybean soup, stir-fried wood ear with pig liver, and steamed fish.

Chu Heng looked up, seeing her enter, casually placed the book aside and instinctively reached out to take the food.

Ye Muyu quickly scolded him, “Don’t move, Chun Xing and I will handle it, don’t end up pulling your wound.”

Chun Xing opened the baby chair in the room, pushed it to the bedside, and Ye Muyu placed the food box down, taking out the warm dishes.

Nuanbao had already woken up, currently sitting in the little bed, looking curiously at the food in Ye Muyu’s hands.

Ye Muyu had Chun Xing go to rest.

She personally served Chu Heng a bowl of soup.

“Give it a try first.”

This time, Chu Heng didn’t reach out again. He obediently let Ye Muyu feed him. However, after taking a couple of bites, noticing Nuanbao’s gaze from the corner of his eye, laughter danced in his eyes, “Ah Yu, Nuanbao is also hungry, what should we do?”

“Nuanbao?” Ye Muyu indeed turned her head to look.

Nuanbao, seeing his mother look over, joyfully waved his hand at her, smilingly said in his baby voice, “Eat… eat…”

“Alright, Mother will feed you now.”

Ye Muyu first looked at the food on the table.
