Rebuttal

Ye Muyu waited for the hot water to boil and let the two children wash up first. Then, she brought the hot water into the east wing room to soak her feet.

While soaking his feet, Ye Muyu reached for the wooden box in front of the bed.

The wooden box contained all her silver.

Ye Muyu counted.

She did not touch the thirty taels of silver that she had earned from selling the fish with pickled cabbages recipe. She had only spent ten taels of silver for her living expenses, which was more than enough to cover her expenses. She still had five taels of silver left.

Previously, she still had about fifteen taels of silver left.

Along the way, she sold pickled cabbages a few times and earned about one tael.

She earned about twenty-five taels from selling medicinal herbs.
