Embarrassing

"Good, this is enough." Tang Rou spoke first, "Sister Ye, I'm sorry. It's all my fault."

There was a deeper meaning to these words.

Not only did it show that Tang Rou was innocent, but it also made the villagers even more convinced that Madam Wang had abused their stepdaughter. Madam Wang had completely ruined their reputation.

"Mother, don't worry. I'll earn back the money for the dress."

Tang Rou hinted at Madam Wang.

Madam Wang was not satisfied with the Madam Ye's compensation, but she could not get anything out of it. Seeing Tang Rou say this, she felt relieved. Before she left, she reminded her again, "If you're stupid and insist on putting in a good word for others, don't blame me for not giving you food if you can't give me these 500 coins."

Tang Rou's face was bitter, but she secretly cursed Madam Wang for being stupid.

After Madam Wang left, the villagers dispersed.

Tang Rou smiled at Ye Muyu, "Sister Ye, I'm really sorry. I've implicated you in this matter."

"I'll go to your house later. I'll fix the dress myself."

Ye Muyu raised her eyebrows. She did not say that she wanted her to go to her house, did she? Even if she had to compensate Tang Roou, she could give it to her directly.

It seemed that the other party's goal was to go to her house.

Ye Muyu already had a guess in her heart, but her face was extremely calm. She nodded lightly and said, "Sure, but I'll go buy meat first. I'll have to trouble you to accompany me first."

Tang Rou's expression stiffened. Her dress was torn, so her pants could be seen. She could only hold the torn dress behind her and awkwardly follow behind Ye Muyu.

Ye Muyu did not give her a chance to think of a countermeasure and walked straight to the pork stall at the village entrance.

There were many villagers along the way.

There were also quite a few young men who came back from the fields at noon. When they saw Tang Rou's appearance, they couldn't help but ask.

Ye Muyu kindly explained to them.

Feeling Tang Rou's resentful gaze behind her, Ye Muyu laughed in her heart. She did not even have the guts to plot against her?

"Uncle Zhu, give me two catties of meat with balanced fat and lean parts, and two catties of fat meat."

Ye Muyu did not like fatty meat, but the breakfast made her realize that in this era, there was no peanut oil and so on, and cooking was basically done with pork fat.

"Alright, scholar wife, take the meat. One hundred and ten coins."

Ye Muyu counted the copper coins and handed them to the other party. Then, she took the pork and placed it in the basket.

After buying the meat, Tang Rou was so embarrassed that she clenched her fists. Her expression was cracked. It was obvious that she couldn't maintain her calm.

"Let's go." Ye Muyu said calmly.

She looked at the sky and realized that it might rain again. She couldn't help but walk faster.

Tang Rou walked at the back, staring at Ye Muyu with disgust and unwillingness. She knew that Chu Heng would become a top official in the future, a famous Chief Assistant of the Cabinet.

Madam Ye was such a vulgar and stupid country woman. In her previous life, she could be a top official's wife even if she was courting death. Why could Tang Rou not?

Unfortunately, she came back too late and her reputation was not good.

However, compared to Madam Ye in her previous life, she was much better.

Ye Muyu did not know what was going on in Tang Rou's mind, but she felt that the other party seemed to be plotting something. She wanted to see what this person wanted to do.

Chu Ziluo heard the sound of someone opening the door as soon as she reached her house.

"Mother, you're back." Chu Ziluo saw the meat in Ye Muyu's basket. Her eyes flashed with surprise, but more than that, she was looking forward to it. Her mother had actually bought meat.

"Mother, my brother asked me to call you over." Chu Ziluo still remembered the important matter and quickly whispered.
