After paying, Ye Muyu turned around and headed straight to the rouge shop.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Chu Heng following her from a distance, but she deliberately ignored him.

“Is this Mrs. Chu?” A voice came from the entrance of the bookstore not far away. Ye Muyu looked up and saw Lord Xu, whom she had met when she first came to print books, standing at the entrance of the bookstore and greeting her.

There was also a subordinate beside him.

Ye Muyu was sure that he had not called the wrong person. She quickly walked over and bowed. Then, she stood up and asked gently, “Did Lord Xu call me?”

“Yes, Mrs. Chu, I’m calling you. I heard that your bookstore has a new kind of Oil Smoke Ink?”

When Ye Muyu heard this, she knew that the opportunity had come. However, she did not immediately respond. Instead, she waved at Chu Heng who was far away, and explained to Xu Jiao, “I’m sorry. My husband has something to attend to and is lagging behind. Why don’t you ask my husband about the Oil Smoke Ink?” I don’t know much.”

She was not good in such matters, so it would not be beneficial for her to carry this burden on her shoulders. She might as well let Chu Heng have a smooth journey in the future. After all, although Xu Jiao seemed to be just a small official in the bookstore, Ye Muyu had already guessed that his status in Jing City was not low.

However, she did not say anything else. It wasn’t even a conversation.

Standing behind Xu Jiao, He Hong, who had also been transferred to the bookstore, was a little surprised. He was used to chatting with those old foxes in the officialdom whenever there was an opportunity. Everyone knew the thoughts of those old foxes in the officialdom. If they could make friends, they would not offend them. If something really happened in the future, having more friends would at least prevent them from being schemed against.

Therefore, when he saw that Ye Muyu had no intention of building a good relationship with Xu Jiao, he was a little surprised.

In just a short while, Chu Heng walked over.

Ye Muyu retreated after accomplishing her task. She stood aside and placed the three kites behind her. He stood silently and watched Chu Heng and Lord Xu communicate.

When the two of them talked about the key points of ink-making, Xu Jiao was very interested and quickly called Chu Heng to the bookstore to talk.

Chu Heng agreed and turned back to look at her.

Ye Muyu nodded and smiled. “Husband, go talk to Lord Xu. I’ll go to the shop to look for the children.”

“Okay, I’ll be back when I’m done.” Chu Heng wanted to say something but stopped.

Ye Muyu pretended not to notice his gaze. She smiled and turned around to leave. She was a woman, so she could leave this kind of discussion to Chu Heng.

Moreover, she saw that Lord Xu was very anxious, so she did not need to waste his time.

After Ye Muyu left, Chu Heng frowned slightly. He was still a little worried, but he could not call her back to ask if she was still angry. He turned around and followed Xu Jiao into the study. He returned to his natural state. The two sat on the ground and poured tea for each other. They began to talk about the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of the Oil Smoke Ink.

While they were chatting, Ye Muyu walked along the street and slowly arrived at the new shop.

Before she came, she had heard about the location of the shop. It was on the busiest street and was even better than the bookshop. There were restaurants, jewelry shops, clothing shops, and even the Yu family’s rouge shop nearby.

Ye Muyu walked to the front of the shop. Seeing that the door was ajar, she walked in.

There were already two or three people in the shop. When they saw Ye Muyu enter, a middle-aged man with a steady appearance walked over. “Madam, this shop hasn’t opened yet. Wait…”
