The next day.

Ye Lanyin had just finished her meal when Hua Xin walked in from outside.

"Madam, when I went to fetch water just now, I ran into Concubine Zou's personal maid. Guess what?"

"Her face was swollen like a steamed bun..."

"Hehe..." She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ye Lanyin gave her a disapproving look. "Are you happy?"

"Of course, Madam, I'm just angry."

“You have been married to the master for so many years, and you have worked hard even if you haven’t done anything great. Besides, you have done so much for the Marquis’s mansion, yet he still keeps a mistress and has secretly fathered several children with her.”

"Look at the Fourth Young Master, doing such a heinous thing..."

As if she had thought of something, Huaxin whispered, "Madam, I always feel that the Fourth Young Master is a bit strange."

"What's wrong?"

She lowered her voice again, "Madam, I suspect that he has something unclean on him."

"Look how dark his forehead is," Hua Xin clicked her tongue.

Ever since her trip to the mass grave, she's really started believing in ghosts...

Ye Lanyin sneered, "Isn't it just that I'm being haunted by a ghost?"

He raped someone's recently deceased daughter and now almost caused Qiaoxiu to commit suicide. If she doesn't go after him, who else can she go after?

"Alright, don't say these things again. There could be eyes everywhere here, so we must not let our guard down."

"Yes, madam."

"Let's go and see Zhuangzi."

Upon hearing the name "Zhuangzi," Huaxin's eyes lit up; she really liked the layout of the Zhuangzi.

"Madam, you truly deserve to be one of the Four Beauties of the Capital. Your taste is impeccable," Hua Xin praised her wife as they walked.

The lady was truly decisive and efficient. She used to be gentle and understanding, but now that the truth was slowly surfacing, she didn't drag things out and directly began paving the way for herself.

The group boarded the carriage and headed towards the estate.

Ye Lanyin bought this estate from a friend; to be precise, it was practically a gift.

Ye Lanyin planned that if everything went smoothly in the future, she would grant Han Nianyu a spot, allowing her to come and go freely.

The carriage slowly came to a stop, and Ye Lanyin carried Lin Wanwan down from the carriage, her gaze turning towards the manor.

A brand-new manor comes into view. Although no formal plaque has been hung on the eaves yet, its simple and elegant style is hard to conceal.

The vermilion carved gate stands majestically, flanked by two small lions on each side.

Stepping across the threshold and pushing open the heavy wooden door felt like crossing the boundaries of time and space, entering a meticulously crafted paradise.

On the far left is a huge garden for people to enjoy, with small bridges, flowing water, artificial hills, trees, and everything else you could want.

If you smell it closely, you can still smell the faint fragrance of lotus flowers emanating from the lotus pond under the bridge.

The winding corridors are surrounded by lush greenery and fragrant flowers, and every step you take is in step with the rhythm of nature.

Even the little guy was mesmerized, staring at the screen without blinking.

As you stroll along the corridor, pavilions and towers of varying heights gradually come into view.

However, a closer look at the names reveals their subtlety.

"Chess and Card Pavilion", "Reading Hall", "Poetry Room", "Dance Room".

Ye Lanyin seemed to be able to imagine the lively atmosphere of humanities in the future.

After passing through the second hanging flower gate, the four characters "Hot Spring Bath Man" are clearly visible on the lintel on the right side of the corridor.

If some people are exhausted from playing, they can wash away the fatigue and troubles of the world here, soak in a warm hot spring, and relax their body and mind.

Opposite them is a "hot spring bath girl".

Although they are opposite each other, they are both independent courtyards, facing each other but each maintaining its independence and dignity.

Further in, behind the third hanging flower gate, lies a well-organized area of ​​small rooms, similar in layout to the hot springs, yet each with its own unique charm. Men are on the left and women on the right, clearly separated, and each courtyard is carefully enclosed, ensuring both privacy and a harmonious, cohesive aesthetic.

Ye Lanyin held Lin Wanwan in her arms, overwhelmed with emotion.

She had actually visited this estate several times. The first two times she came to see the terrain, and afterwards she personally drew a layout map.

Then, following her daughter's advice, she secretly made some changes according to the 'feng shui' she mentioned.

And that's how it turned out the way it is today.

Wow, this place is huge!

[Mommy, we're rich!]

A certain child only had three things in mind: food, play, and money.

Ye Lanyin smiled and tapped her little nose, then lovingly turned her body to a different position so she could get a better view.

"You like it, right?"

The little guy nodded as he ate his biscuit.

【Huh? This feng shui is pretty good.】

Did Mother consult a fortune teller?

[This seems to be slightly different from the blueprints I saw the other day~]

It's like we're on the same wavelength!

The little guy was thinking to himself, completely unaware that his thoughts had already been discovered.

Ye Lanyin pretended to admire the scenery, secretly thinking that she would have to ask Rui'an to cover for her next time.

These days, Rui'an has been studying late into the night for the imperial examinations and hasn't had much time to come to the courtyard.

Ye Lanyin was afraid of disturbing him, so she didn't let the maids report certain things to him.

After staying in the manor for a quarter of an hour, Ye Lanyin left.

The entire estate is almost finished; now all that's missing are people to manage it.

She thought and thought but couldn't think of anyone to ask, so she decided to stop thinking about it for the time being.

When they passed Changqing Street, Ye Lanyin called for the carriage to stop.

Hua Xin asked softly, "Madam, what's wrong?"

"Huaxin, let's go to the rouge shop. I want to buy some rouge for them."

"Who is Madam?" Hua Xin asked, puzzled.
