Su Ruojin was very happy to see Mu Yao so determined.
A woman's life should include more opportunities for herself than just being a wife and mother; she should not be confined to the inner quarters of the house.
"Alright, then you can come every day to learn from the masters. If there's anything you don't understand, you can come..."
Su Ruojin originally wanted to say, "You can ask me," but then she changed her mind and said, "You can ask Prince Shen and the masters. Prince Shen, Mu Yao is in your care."
Shen Yu was somewhat surprised to hear that Su Muyao actually wanted to learn shipbuilding.
The noble ladies of the capital city, who doesn't spend all day studying flower arranging, tea ceremony, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and incense making? At most, they learn how to manage the household affairs from their mothers. Who would be interested in shipbuilding, a job that is considered rough by the world?
However, Shen Yu smiled when he saw Su Muyao's happiness after the princess agreed.
Fine, let Mu Yao learn if she likes it. Anyway, I'm here. Do you really think I'll let Mu Yao suffer?
Let her have some fun. Once she's had enough, she can go back.
With him protecting them, nothing will happen, even on this construction site full of men.
Thinking of this, Shen Yu smiled and said to Su Ruojin, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely take good care of Mu Yao."
At this moment, Shen Yu had no idea how Mu Yao would shock him or everyone else in the future.
On the way back to the manor, Su Muyao was still quite excited, constantly asking Su Ruojin about things related to shipbuilding.
Su Ruojin patiently told Mu Yao what she knew.
As Su Muyao was speaking, she suddenly thought of something and became a little uneasy, "Big sister, will Mother disagree with me doing this?"
Madam Su raised Su Muyao to be a well-bred young lady from a young age, and she was gentle and virtuous.
The contrast between her carefully nurtured young lady and her current job building ships, surrounded by carpenters and craftsmen, was too great, and Su Muyao worried that her mother would object.
"It's alright, I'll talk to my mother when I get back."
"Thank you, big sister." Su Muyao took Su Ruojin's hand and rested her head on her shoulder.
"Elder sister, I know that many people in the capital are saying in private that I am a fake daughter of the Su family, and that I will be kicked out of the house once you, the real legitimate daughter of the Su family, return."
Back then, Deng Yi kept telling me that with me around, I would become a pitiful wretch that everyone would despise, trying to entice me to betray the Su family.
But only I know, big sister, you are not Mu Yao's enemy, and Mu Yao's life will not become tragic because of your return.
Big sister, you are different from others. You don't restrict me or look down on me. Instead, you encourage me and support me in doing what I want to do.
Thank you, big sister. You are not only the Su family's lucky star, but also mine.
Su Ruojin gently patted Mu Yao's hand and smiled, "Silly child, why say such things? We are family."
At this moment, Su Ruojin suddenly remembered a question she had wanted to ask before, but due to Mu Yao's physical condition and emotions at the time, she held back and forgot about it.
Now that Mu Yao brought it up, she remembered it again.
"Mu Yao, I have a question for you. You entered the Deng family as Deng Yi's concubine. As a normal man, why didn't he touch you?"
If it were any other woman, she might have thought that Su Ruojin was asking this question intentionally to bring up the past and humiliate her.
But Su Muyao knew that her elder sister must have other purposes for asking this question, so she thought about it carefully and replied, "Elder sister, to be honest, when I entered the Deng family, I was indeed prepared to become Deng Yi's concubine, so that I could get close to him and find out something."
Before he suspected me of stealing the defense map, he was quite polite to me and did not overstep any boundaries between men and women.
