The doors of each room were opened in a way that allowed them to monitor each other. Even if a stranger entered, it would be almost impossible for them to not be discovered. It was a very clever design with no blind spots.

Ye Muyu could not help but sigh. The unique and ingenious features of ancient buildings made people admire the wisdom of the ancestors who created them.

Indeed, there were many smart people in the world.

Ye Muyu never thought that she was smarter than others. The only special thing about her was that she had an extra lifetime of knowledge.

“Butler Luo, is the courtyard originally like this, or do you want to modify it according to this blueprint?” Ye Muyu asked softly.

Luo Qisheng replied, “Yes, we need to modify it. Today, this old servant came to inform Madam about the manpower hired and the money allocated.”

“This is the account book for the past three months.”

Luo Qisheng stood up and bent down to pass an account book to Ye Muyu. He had no intention of keeping it for himself.

Ye Muyu did not take it immediately.

She was not stupid. If it was not for Chu Heng’s signal, she definitely would not have believed that Luo Qisheng would come today.

By showing her the account book, he meant that he would let her take charge of the project.

This was something she had never thought of before. She had always been working hard to manage her private property. In this, she owed Chu Heng a lot.

Without Chu Heng’s financial support, it would take her at least another year or two to develop her bookstore to its current state.

From the very beginning, she had her own selfish motives.

She had never forgotten what Chu Heng had said about the divorce.

It was her selfish motive to develop her private property. She was not familiar with this place to begin with. Only with money and food could she be qualified to help her family. She could even gain her freedom and protect her two children. Only then would she have the confidence.

This was what she had planned for herself if they were to divorce.

She knew that Chu Heng had already noticed this, but he did not say anything and even took the initiative to cooperate. He never minded her doing this.

Ye Muyu felt sorry for him.

She was inexperienced in relationships, so she always gave the initiative to Chu Heng. She did not hate her husband, and she also hoped to live a good life. However, she was not willing to completely rely on a man like the women of this era. She had a slight resistance in her heart.

This resistance was not because of Chu Heng himself but because of a difference in mindset.

Now, if she took over the power of the project, it would mean that she had promised Chu Heng and confirmed her status as Chu Heng’s wife.

“Madam, this is the account book that Master asked this old servant to hand over to you. I have been sorting it out before and have only finished sorting it out now. Madam, please punish me.” Luo Qisheng suddenly knelt and handed over the account book with a firm attitude.

“Quickly help Butler Luo up.” Ye Muyu ordered Zhang Shu. She did not accept the account book nor did she say anything else.

Zhang Shu listened to Ye Muyu’s instructions and went forward to help Luo Qisheng up.

After doing all this, he walked to the side and waited for instructions.

“Madam, this old servant will leave the account book with you. It’ll be up to Madam to decide what to do with it. There is also the silver account book for the repair of the workshop. You’ll need to take a look at it now.” Seeing that Ye Muyu did not take it, Luo Qisheng did not force her and moved on to the next topic.

Ye Muyu did not refuse this time. She took the account book that recorded the expenses that might be needed to repair the workshop.

It was written clearly and orderly. Ye Muyu could quickly understand the progress of the repairs with a glance..
