Madam Liu had also not fallen asleep, her age stealing away much of her need for slumber.
Moreover, the residence no longer needed to economize on lamplight. Hearing voices in the courtyard, she came out from her side room.
Originally, Chu Heng had told her to return to Fushou Court to rest for the night. He would watch over Ye Muyu at home.
But with the due date being within these next couple of days, Madam Liu could not agree to leave. She was somewhat concerned that her son, being a man, would not be attentive enough.
"Ah Yu, why have you come out?" Madam Liu approached, finding the scene of her lying in the courtyard quite unusual.
"Could it be that Ah Heng has angered you?"
Seeing her misunderstanding, Ye Muyu explained with a smile, "Mother, where would Ah Heng bully me? I simply couldn't sleep at all, so I got up to spend a while watching the stars and the moon."
"Watch the stars? What's there to see?" Madam Liu could not comprehend such an interest.
