A Request

Ye Muyu was not a talkative person. If the child were unwilling to speak, she would just keep quiet.

When they reached the old residence, they met Madam Liu, who had just returned from outside.

"Mother." Ye Muyu greeted.

"Why are you here?" After Madam Liu finished speaking, her gaze followed her and landed on Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng did not dare to lie in front of his grandmother. He quickly explained. "It was Mother who asked me to call Third Aunt over. Mother is not in a good mood today."

Madam Liu suddenly guessed something. She did not ask any more questions and called Ye Muyu into the courtyard.

"Muyu, is Heng back?" she asked in a low voice.

"Not yet. He'll probably be back in another two hours." It was only the afternoon, and the sky was still bright. It was still early.

Madam Liu did not ask any more questions.

The two of them walked into the central room.

Madam Zhang was nowhere to be seen.
