Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2050: Chapter 2047: Storybooks

When Grand Tutor Deng heard this, he was somewhat tempted, but the sting on his forehead brought him back to his senses instantly, “Hmm… well, let’s keep a low profile and not cause any trouble for the time being.”

“Father, you’re afraid?” The Eldest Son of the Deng Family’s eyes flashed with a touch of hostility, “Chu Heng reported you, and the Emperor merely scolded you a bit. There wasn’t any real loss, which shows the Emperor still trusts us as much as before.”

“It’s just normal commercial competition; could Chu Heng actually take it to the palace to lodge a complaint?”

When Grand Tutor Deng heard this, his expression turned a bit sour because he indeed didn’t want to oppose Chu Heng. After all, Minister Qi was watching him closely.

Recently, he felt constrained in everything he did, which was quite unpleasant.

“You’re right to say this.”

The Eldest Son of the Deng Family tapped his palm with a folding fan, offering meaningful advice, “Father, our Deng family relies on favor and trust. If we don’t utilize it now, should we wait until we lose favor to act?”

“You’re right!” Grand Tutor Deng shuddered awake, feeling a bit fearful and displeased by his words. Besides, it was indeed just fair commercial competition.

Grand Tutor Deng immediately sent someone to negotiate the purchase of shops and also sent people to find out what the Chu family’s shop was being renovated for.

Chu family.

When Ye Muyu returned in the afternoon, she was writing a novel.

Plan to invite people to talk about it when the bathhouse opens.

She first prepared several articles, planning to call other scholars later to imitate a similar style so she wouldn’t have to write everything herself.

Ye Muyu wasn’t writing slowly now, but writing with a brush wasn’t fast, either.

She could write about five to six hundred characters per hour.

Luckily, the stories she prepared were serialized short stories, each one twenty to thirty thousand characters long, which wasn’t too lengthy, allowing her to write two to three thousand characters a day, thus finishing a book in half a month.

Though a bit slow, Ye Muyu wasn’t only focusing on writing books. She had other things to do, and it was sufficient.

She had just dipped her brush and begun writing for a while.

Su Mei knocked and entered.

She whispered to him about the matter at Luo Family’s shop.

“Lady, what should we do now?” Su Mei, half feeling that the Luo Family was overstepping, half cursing them for being blind, continued, “Why support Grand Tutor Deng? They’ve picked the wrong side and might end up losing everything in the future.”

Ye Muyu rubbed her hands: “Well, it’s normal not to sell. They dare not offend Grand Tutor Deng, and our family is usually easygoing, no deterrent effect.”

“But I expected this. It doesn’t matter if we can’t buy it. We don’t necessarily need that shop,” Ye Muyu wasn’t disappointed: “Continue the search for an appropriate one. If one shop doesn’t work, we’ll buy several as long as the area suffices, and then we’ll break through and renovate.”

Breaking through and renovating would surely cost more silver, but Ye Muyu aimed to prepare a high-end venue, eventually figuring out how to cut costs.

“Lady, how about we look into some old houses?” Su Mei, not liking to see her upset and racking her brains, suggested.

Ye Muyu’s eyes brightened at these words: “Hey, houses could work too, though picking a location might be tough, but we can keep an eye on it just in case the right opportunity arises.”

“Alright.” Su Mei nodded quickly, resolving to complete the task swiftly, aiming to keep costs as low as possible.

Su Mei went down to work on it.

Ye Muyu continued writing the story.
