“Ziluo, think about it. Why is your Sister Qingxiang working so hard?” Ye Muyu asked another question.

Chu Ziluo hesitated for a moment before she asked, “Because Sister Qingxiang is outstanding and will be liked by more people.”

“Then do you think that the people who like Sister Qingxiang like her as a person or the money that her craftsmanship brings?” Ye Muyu did not want to be too realistic, but ladies would understand these things sooner or later.

After she finished speaking, she subconsciously looked at Chu Heng. This man was a traditional ancient man. If he heard her talk about women’s independence, he might not be happy.

Chu Heng seemed to understand her meaning. He picked up the fresh meat dumpling and took a bite.” The meat dumplings you made are quite delicious.” “Hmm?” Ye Muyu was confused.

Before she could figure out what Chu Heng meant, Chu Ziluo had already answered her, “Mother, it should be the money that Sister Qingxiang’s craftsmanship can bring.”

“Then think about it. Other than craftsmanship, what else does a woman have that her husband’s family fears and values?” After Ye Muyu finished speaking, she suddenly understood what Chu Heng meant. He was just finding an excuse to stay.

Since he could hear all this, Ye Muyu did not plan to hide her words.

“Also… Whether she can have a son.” Chu Ziluo poked her hand.

Ye Muyu was speechless. For a moment, she did not know what to say. It seemed that favoring boys over girls was also a problem.

“What else?”

She sighed in her heart and decided to let this matter go. After all, there were only a few women who could not give birth to a son.

“Yes… Oh right, I remember now. There’s also the maiden family.” Chu Ziluo quickly looked up at Ye Muyu and Chu Heng. She wanted to say that her cousins envied her when she was learning female arts.

It seemed to be because of her father.

“Mother, Sister Qingxiang said that if you want to marry into a good family and live a good life, not only do you need your family to work hard, you also need to work hard.”

“The other cousins are also very envious that I have my father is a scholar.”

“But I think Mother is the best.”

Ye Muyu could not help but burst out laughing after hearing her words. This child looked timid, but she was poking his heart in front of her father. She probably did not realize how depressed her words would make Chu Heng, her father, feel.

Chu Heng was still expressionless. He had an expression that said, ‘I didn’t hear anything, I don’t care about anything.’

Chu Ziluo, on the other hand, looked at the smiling Ye Muyu and the cold Chu Heng beside her. After a while, she finally understood what she had said.

She quickly covered her mouth.

She looked at Chu Heng and explained anxiously, “Father, that’s not what I meant. Actually, you’re also very good in my heart.”

“Don’t be angry.”

Seeing the child’s anxious expression, Chu Heng’s jealousy dissipated. He looked at Chu Ziluo and said, “It’s okay. You’re right.”

“Father, you’re the best.” Chu Ziluo heaved a sigh of relief and said sincerely.

Ye Muyu stopped smiling and turned to see that Chu Heng did not seem to mind. She then relaxed and patted Chu Ziluo’s hand. “It’s good that you understand. However, mother can be so free because of your father.”

“Do you understand?”

“Mother, I understand. I will face it as usual. As for my future husband, I will be the one choosing. He must be like Father, responsible, and able to protect us..”
