I was anxious about visiting the residence, worried that I might commit a faux pas. Your words are like those of a family elder, easing much of my anxiety.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Madam may not know, but I have been learning etiquette at home and managing numerous household affairs, which left me little time to go out. I will have to attend various banquets in the future; please don’t find me bothersome then, Old Madam.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Duchess lifted her eyelids, her gaze lingering on Ye Muyu, as if trying to discern her personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these words, Ye Muyu not only complimented Old Madam Li but also explained her previous absence from the banquets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether or not the other party believed her was no longer Ye Muyu’s concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beginning to end, she was never overly anxious; rather, her demeanor was natural, making it difficult to grasp her temperament. Even the Duchess, who had originally thought her a crude countrywoman, frowned, believing she had misjudged her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Li laughed heartily and instructed the servants to serve tea: “This tea is a special variety, Biluochun from Jiangnan. Due to the heavy rains last year, the yield was reduced, but this year we can finally enjoy some. Madam, please taste it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Muyu took a sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Duchess observed her movements, not finding a single fault, which left her somewhat displeased. Suddenly, she asked, “Madam, what do you think of this tea?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Muyu smiled and set down the teacup: “I am not knowledgeable about tea, but I find the taste cool, sweet, and refreshing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although I don’t know its specific merits, it leaves me wanting more, which must be good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Duchess did not expect her to admit so plainly that she didn’t understand tea, without a hint of shame, as though not being able to appreciate tea was no issue at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Duchess was stunned by Ye Muyu’s candor, catching herself in surprise, as this was entirely different from the education she had received as a noblewoman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tea appreciation had always been a prized skill among young ladies, something revered. Yet, Ye Muyu’s words suggested that she didn’t care for such pursuits at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Li couldn’t help but laugh at Ye Muyu’s words: “I always said Madam is remarkable. Tea appreciation, after all, varies according to individual preferences. Generally, what one enjoys is the best.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words were clearly in support of Ye Muyu. The Duchess felt awkward at her mother-in-law’s unrefined remarks, uncertain whether she should despise Ye Muyu’s lack of knowledge or her noble-educated mother-in-law’s disregard for tea appreciation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Madam is absolutely right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Muyu smiled, unconcerned with the Duchess’s attitude. There were no outsiders present, so she spoke freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Li family, crossing words would mean they were not the same kind of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forcing relationships is less solid than those founded on interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Li looked up and glanced at Ye Muyu’s side, curious: “I heard Madam brought a maid from the residence, but I don’t see her here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chu Ziluo went with the Young Madame to the greenhouse to see the flowers. I didn’t expect that you would be interested in her, Old Madam.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Li’s elderly eyes flashed with understanding: “I have heard about your maid before but never had the chance to see her. Now that I finally have the opportunity, I am indeed curious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Li spoke frankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then suggested sending a servant to fetch Chu Ziluo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Muyu saw that the other party was so straightforward and naturally could not refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>",616,"2026-06-05T23:54:29.014Z",1,"novelbin.me","19de60b07d3a028110e1f5c553bda261816e153c82c305d50fcd1457b235a0d3","peasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-chapter-1414","peasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-chapter-1412",2499,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpeasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-cover.jpg"]
