At night, when the store was about to close, Ye Heng followed Liu Qinghuan's instructions and went to pick up Yu Niang.
After all, Yu Niang is a woman, and it is always unsafe for her to walk alone at night.
"Master, when I close the shop, I'll just drop Yu Niang off on my way home. It's only a few blocks away. So sorry for bothering you with this trip."
Ye Heng heard it and nodded, which showed his agreement.
He also felt it was extremely troublesome. If it weren't for Liu Qinghuan's request, he would never do such a troublesome thing.
"My dear cousin, hello. My boss is not here this afternoon. The Zhou Mansion has sent an invitation saying that the master of the Zhou family has returned home. They are hosting a banquet in three days and would like to invite you and my dear cousin to come."
Yan Xu stacked the finished account books neatly aside, took a red note and handed it to Ye Heng.
Ye Heng casually flipped it open and saw the date and time of the banquet written on it, as well as Liu Qinghuan's name, followed by a sentence saying that he would bring his family to attend.
Ye Heng's eyes were fixed on the word "family".
Qinghuan will take me there, right?
"My cousin, everything is packed, let's go back." After washing the dishes, Yu Niang came out of the backyard. She felt a little embarrassed that her cousin came to pick her up in person.
Ye Heng glanced at Yu Niang and nodded slightly. Then the two of them returned to the house one after the other.
"Your room is in the backyard." After entering the main courtyard, Ye Heng pointed to the backyard gate and motioned her to go in.
Without saying much to Yu Niang, he knocked on Liu Qinghuan's door with the note.
Yu Niang had long been accustomed to Ye Heng's indifference, and she quickened her pace into the backyard.
She missed her two daughters very much.
When she arrived at the backyard, she saw that the lights in two rooms were on. Yu Niang didn't know which one to enter.
It was not until the laughter of Huyang and Hutao came from a room that Yu Niang dared to confirm it.
"Yang'er, mother is back."
Hearing Yu Niang knocking on the door, Hu Yang and Hu Tao immediately jumped off the kang: "Mom, you are finally back!"
As soon as the door opened, Hu Tao threw herself into Yu Niang's arms.
"Do you miss your mother?" Yu Niang picked up Hu Tao and touched Hu Yang's head with her other hand.
"I thought about it~"
Listening to her daughter's sweet voice, Yu Niang's fatigue disappeared.
"The boss treats us really well." Yu Niang carried her two daughters to the kang and looked around the room.
This is not a servant's residence.
I'm afraid that ordinary families rarely live in such a good place.
"By the way, Yang'er, when I came back just now, I saw the light next door was on too. Who was that?"
Hu Yang blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "The sister the boss brought back today just asked us if we wanted hot water to wash our feet."
Upon hearing this, Yu Niang thought that Liu Qinghuan had hired another servant. After all, such a big house needed someone to look after it and clean it, so she didn't think much about it.
"Okay, I got it. I'll get you some water, and then we can get ready and go to bed."
Before Yu Niang came back, Ye Heng helped clean up a room in the house, and Hu Yang had already spread the bedding on the kang, so now they could go to sleep after cleaning up.
"From now on, Yang'er will help me fetch water before I come back~"
"Tao'er can help too!"
"Okay, okay, good kids. But you're still young, so don't touch the boiling water."
The soundproofing between the two rooms was not very good, and Yu Niang had no taboos when talking to her two daughters, so the noise was quite loud. Zi Yun, who was in the other room, put her ear to the wall and heard about 90% of their conversation about the loving mother and filial daughter.
There is no useful information.
Ziyun blew out the candle. In the darkness, his eyes were not as timid as they were during the day, but rather frightening.
