It seems that renovating it again won’t be a small project.

“Master.” Lu Chuan was helping to dig out the silt by the pond.

He straightened up and immediately saw Chu Heng, hurriedly striding over.

He raised his hand to salute but noticed his hands were full of sludge, so he quickly stepped back two paces to avoid getting it on Chu Heng’s clothes.

“Why are you also doing manual work? Is there not enough workforce?” Chu Heng had been busy recently and hadn’t had the time to come over. He only knew that Ye Muyu was very busy, but the progress was going smoothly.

Lu Chuan shook his head, “No, the lady is personally working, so I can’t just stand by. I have the strength to help out with some work.”

“The lady is in the courtyard over there, discussing with the craftsmen how to expand the yard without destroying the courtyard walls.”

Seeing him about to lead the way, Chu Heng declined, “Continue with your work. Recently, pay attention to not letting any malicious people sneak in. If there aren’t enough people, just spend the money to hire more. There’s no need to skimp on labor costs.”

In Chu Heng’s view, hiring people was a minor expense. If malicious individuals, especially those sent by the Deng Family, were to sneak in and cause trouble, they might ruin the garden and bring trouble to Ah Yu.

Lu Chuan also became more cautious, “Yes, I’ll take care of it right away.”

He didn’t busy himself with helping anymore. In fact, they had hired quite a few people, and the progress of demolishing the house was pretty fast. It took about three to four days to complete the demolition, but clearing the pond was more labor-intensive, so he was helping guide the process.

Now that Chu Heng reminded him, he also realized the importance of the matter.

Recently, none of the people working in the courtyard were unfamiliar, but it was different outside. The footmen delivering clay every day were not all recognizable to him.

Lu Chuan went to verify everyone’s identity.

Chu Heng told the servant boy who was guiding him to go back to guard the gate.

He himself had arrived at the courtyard wall that hadn’t been demolished at all and stepped inside.

This courtyard was in the southeast corner. Originally, there were three main halls built inside, with two wing rooms on either side, making it appear particularly cramped, and the houses weren’t very appealing.

At the moment, one of the wing rooms near the courtyard gate had been demolished.

The other buildings inside hadn’t been touched yet. There was quite a bit of mud and lime on the ground, making it somewhat muddy.

When Chu Heng strode in, Ye Muyu, who was discussing the size of a pavilion with the craftsmen and moving the courtyard walls outward, saw him first.

Surprised and pleased, she quickly stood up, let the craftsmen continue discussing among themselves, and walked over.

“Ah Heng, why are you here? Weren’t you supposed to be at the yamen today? Why did you come over suddenly?”

“There’s nothing much to do at the yamen, so I came back early,”

Chu Heng explained briefly, “Is there anything challenging here? Do you need my help?”

“Not for the time being.” Ye Muyu stood and talked to him. The courtyard was quite large, and with many places being demolished, it seemed even bigger.

There were certainly some miscellaneous tasks, but Ye Muyu wouldn’t let Chu Heng do such work.

“So there is still a problem?” Chu Heng heard the implication in her words.

Ye Muyu couldn’t help but admire his ability to read people’s minds. He spoke straight to her heart, making it impossible to hide anything.

“Yes, actually, I have an idea.” Seeing that there were quite a few people around,

Ye Muyu took Chu Heng to a quiet corner by the wall.

“Well, I’ve calculated that the ground definitely needs to be paved with stone slabs or marble to be smooth and easy to clean, while the house can be wooden.”
