Chapter 1790: Chapter 1787: Buying Orchid Seeds

Su Mei knew that the lady was always kind-hearted, and even though she understood the lady’s kindness towards her, she was still very moved to hear these caring words again.

“Lady, I understand.” Su Mei quickly composed herself and said seriously, “I think Guard Lu is a good person. I can feel his sincerity. I want to talk to him first before informing the lady of my decision.”

“Alright, don’t worry, you will eventually get married. You can’t be alone forever. If you really insist on this, wouldn’t it be torturing me? I would feel very guilty in my heart.” Ye Muyu could tell that Su Mei wasn’t strictly someone who wanted to stay single, especially since in this era, there was no one who truly didn’t want to marry and start a family.

In her view, Lu Chuan was a very good choice, and Su Mei herself didn’t object. But Su Mei’s hesitations were more because of her, so Ye Muyu had to make things clear.

However, she wouldn’t forcefully matchmake them. She hadn’t rushed them before, allowing them to gradually bond, considering matters involving feelings couldn’t be forced, and she wasn’t willing to render two capable subordinates useless overnight.

The breakfast was made of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Ye Muyu had long taught the cook in the residence’s kitchen how to make preserved eggs, thus there is always plenty in reserve. In addition, several small dishes were prepared.

Nuanbao could already eat by himself now, but he tended to spill food.

“Don’t worry about it. Let Nuanbao eat by himself. We can change his clothes afterward,” Ye Muyu knew Nuanbao was a smart child, so she specially prepared child-size dishes and chopsticks, and had the cook in the residence’s kitchen make meals for Nuanbao that were baby-specific, which looked very cute.

Such as the rabbit-shaped rice balls used at lunch.

After finishing breakfast, Ye Muyu felt her stomach was much more comfortable.

Chu Heng stretched out his hand and squeezed her fingers: “I’m heading to the yamen first. If there’s anything, just tell Lu Chuan.”

“Alright, you go ahead, there’s nothing much at home.” Ye Muyu personally escorted him out of the courtyard before leaving.

“Madam, regarding the orchids you instructed us to buy, the flower shop over there requires a personal visit to purchase them. It’s said many people will be going there to buy today.” Chun Xing came in with the news.

Only then did Ye Muyu remember that she had previously instructed the servants to keep an eye on buying orchids.

This was prepared for Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen. Before they left, they had planted orchids in the flower room; many were sold, leaving only some ordinary types. Although they couldn’t be sold at high prices, keeping them in the flower room for viewing meant there was no need to go buy more.

But Madam Liu and her husband had been gone too long, and Ye Muyu was too busy to plant orchids. Precious varieties could only be bought as seedlings to plant back, hearing this news, Ye Muyu rested well last night and nodded: “Alright, I’ll go and take a look in a while.”

Chu Ziluo hadn’t left yet, she was also somewhat interested and couldn’t help but look at Ye Muyu.

“Does Ziluo want to go too?” Ye Muyu saw her eager expression, lovingly asked with a smile.

Chu Ziluo felt a bit embarrassed, but still nodded: “Mother, will I trouble you?”

“What’s the trouble in this, we’re just going to buy orchids. If you like, we can go together. Since you don’t like going out usually, I didn’t call you along. In the future, if you want to go out, just go. Just bring your maidservants and guards, and be mindful of your own safety, Mother won’t restrict you.”

Chu Ziluo knew this, but she couldn’t help listening to Mother say it.
