Chapter 1782: Chapter 1779: Clearing the Air

“Well, Third Brother’s Wife, you’re right. I’m just used to being frugal and didn’t think much about it.” Madam Wang scratched her head a bit, feeling embarrassed.

Ye Muyu gently shook her head, still very tender: “Second Sister-in-law, it’s not your fault. After coming to the capital, things are different from our hometown. The capital has too many nobles and smart people. I’m just afraid of those petty people targeting us, which may cause you some burden.”

“But I believe you can gradually adapt to this life. It’s just because you’ve recently arrived in the capital.” Ye Muyu reached out and patted her shoulder: “But, Second Sister-in-law, don’t be too nervous. I’m just offering reminders, not forcing requirements.”

From the beginning, she didn’t plan to impose demands, so she always sent people to keep an eye on the Chu Family’s Second House, not just fearing they might do something foolish, but also to protect their safety. Especially if anyone with ill intentions approaches the Chu Family’s Second House, she can know immediately.

Madam Wang wiped her face: “Third Brother’s Wife, when you say this, I feel relieved. I was terrified of making mistakes.”

“Second Sister-in-law, it’s my fault for making it sound too serious,” Ye Muyu was somewhat guilty too. At the beginning, letting Chu Cai’s family come wasn’t to have them living in fear, but to offer more development opportunities.

But now, because of the officials in court who are at odds with Chu Heng, she intentionally suppressed the freedom of Chu Cai’s family, which is putting the cart before the horse.

“No worries, you can act based on your feelings in the future. Actually, I thought too seriously about it. Your nature is good, and you wouldn’t do anything bad. You aren’t that kind of people. It’s just encountering too many things recently that led to such overthinking.” Ye Muyu realized she’s impacted by the incident at the Buddhist Light Temple.

She felt something was off with the Buddhist Light Temple, even though there’s no evidence, just intuition.

She rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit weary.

Madam Wang hadn’t heard Ye Muyu apologize like this and quickly shook her head: “Third Brother’s Wife, don’t say that. I really don’t think you did anything wrong. Your reminders are for my own good. Otherwise, if I did something wrong, I’d truly regret it later.”

What Madam Wang said was indeed true. She genuinely disliked trouble and wouldn’t want to lose silver over some issues.

To her, spending silver on her own family is the proper use. If she had to lose silver over something, she’d be very distressed.

“Third Brother’s Wife, are you tired? I’m to blame for this.” Madam Wang apologized softly.

Ye Muyu was feeling a bit guilty, but hearing this, she smiled slightly: “Second Sister-in-law, it’s my fault. To be honest, you could have lived freely in your hometown.”

“Third Brother’s Wife, what are you saying? Coming to the capital was our own decision. Although it was your suggestion at the time, if my husband and I didn’t agree, you couldn’t have forced us to come.”

“Besides, since we’ve come here, we must take responsibility for our own choice. We can’t always rely on Third Brother, and you’ve helped us enough over the years.”

“After coming to the capital, we are still family. No matter what happens, we share the same heart. In the future, just tell me whatever you need directly. Don’t worry I’ll mind.”

Ye Muyu felt a sense of relief after hearing Madam Wang’s words. She really didn’t want to create tension with Madam Wang, as they are family, and she hopes they all live well.

“Second Sister-in-law, that’s settled then. I won’t harm anyone. We are all family.”
