Chapter 331 Let's Fight

Emperor Jing not only granted them official titles, but also bestowed upon them a princess's residence.

After the 20th day of the first lunar month, Ye Wan and Lin Anyuan moved to the princess's residence in a grand procession.

The Imperial Household Department had already prepared everything in advance.

All the original servants were brought over, along with some elderly people who had been managing the princess's residence. Steward Lin led the group to welcome the new master of the princess's residence.

After getting off the carriage, Lin Anyuan suddenly flicked his sleeve.

"This humble servant, Lin Anyuan, greets Your Highness, the Princess."

Ye Wan laughed, "Little Yuanzi, you may rise."

The servants stared in disbelief as the two entered the princess's residence hand in hand.

"As expected of the princess's residence, it is indeed winding and beautiful. I thought our house was already quite nice, but after arriving in the capital, I realized that it was just the tip of the iceberg."

Ye Wan felt utterly speechless, like an illiterate person unable to describe such breathtaking beauty.

Lin Anyuan was more pragmatic; he was thinking about how much it would cost to support such a large house and so many servants every year.

The couple got busy as soon as they moved into their new home. Lin Anyuan was really busy, leaving early and returning late.

She was an official in charge of agriculture, so it was alright in the dead of winter.

He took a break and had someone measure the windows at Prince Jing's residence, planning to replace the glass windows for Prince Jing after the first month of the lunar calendar.

It was the 26th day of the first lunar month when Ye Wan finally remembered that she needed to go to the Wei family.

There's nothing I can do, she's just incredibly lazy.

I've been saying I'd go for a while, but I've been procrastinating and it's only now.

That day, Ye Wan packed her things and took Hui Gu and two maids to visit the Wei family.

I brought the two girls along mainly so they could broaden their horizons.

Because they had sent their visiting cards in advance, Madam Wei and her family were already waiting at the main gate.

"This old woman and her family pay their respects to Lord Ye."

Yes, Ye Wan is now an official, but such a display of power still surprised her somewhat.

"Please rise, Madam. You are a Lady of Imperial Decree and an elder. There is no need for you to bow to me."

"What 'Madam' title? It was bestowed by the previous emperor. I am overjoyed that Lord Ye has come to the Wei family."

Madam Wei laughed loudly, "Stone's daughter-in-law, hurry up and kill two chickens, the ones I raise myself in the backyard. You'll cook today."

"Why."

Seeing Ye Wan's surprise, Madam Wei blushed and explained, "Lord Ye, please don't be offended. Our family used to have a hard time, and we were craving meat, so we caught some chicks and raised them ourselves."

Many families looked down on them because of their ambition, and the women there didn't want to associate with them, secretly saying that their family was penniless.

Madam Wei chimed in, "We also planted some vegetables. Those flowers and plants are pretty, but they can't be eaten. It's better to grow some weeds."

Ye Wan laughed, "The old lady is so kind. When you can't even fill your stomach, who has the mood to appreciate flowers? I used to grow vegetables when I lived in the countryside, and the ones I grew myself taste better."

Ye Wan truly admired the Wei family. The gifts she brought today were all practical, without any fancy or extravagant items.

Even when sitting down to talk, they get straight to the point.

"The reason I've come to visit you today is actually to bring up something."

“Your young master is about the same age as my youngest daughter. When he first came to my house, I was too busy to take care of him. Now that my general has arrived, if the old lady doesn’t mind, you can send your young master over to learn martial arts together.”

Ye Wan had met Wei Ye before and liked him quite a bit; he was definitely good-looking.

"Really?" Madam Wei was about to kill a chicken, but upon hearing this, she immediately turned around and sat back down, sending her maid to kill the chicken.

Ye Wan nodded, "Of course it's true. I don't know how to raise children either, so I can't guarantee how well I'll raise them, but my general will teach them everything he can."

Lin Anyuan had been saved by General Wei, and the Wei family was respected by many, so he wanted to help them as much as possible.

Since they're all boys, they mostly stay in the front yard, so Ye Wan doesn't need to worry about them.

"Yes, yes, I am so happy."

He glanced at Er Ya and San Ya who had come with him, and his heart was filled with excitement.

"Go quickly, go quickly and call Ono back to kowtow to Lord Ye."

Madam Wei was overjoyed. There's a saying that goes, "Those who are near the water get the moon first."

General Lin and Ye Wan personally raised him, and who knows, they might just grow to like their grandson.

Even if you don't like what you see, it doesn't matter, because you've still been taught and raised.

Wei Ye arrived quickly and wanted to kowtow to Ye Wan.

Ye Wan quickly stopped her, "Let's not be so particular about that."

Old Madam Wei refused and insisted that her grandson kowtow once.

When Wei Ye got up, he accidentally stepped on his own clothes and almost fell flat on his face.

Sanya couldn't help but laugh.

Wei Ye lowered his head and straightened his clothes. He was used to wearing short clothes, so wearing a long robe all of a sudden felt strange.

It was all his mother's idea; this outfit was newly made.

Ye Wan was talking to Madam Wei when Madam Wei went to cook herself.

Madam Wei sent her maids to take Er Ya and San Ya for a walk in the Wei family courtyard.

"This yard is quite big, but it feels a bit dilapidated," Er Ya couldn't help but say after walking around.

Sanya reminded her, "Second sister, we're in someone else's house, so just shut up. You're going to offend people as soon as you open your mouth."

"What's wrong? I'm just stating the facts." Er Ya pouted. "Is that a garden up ahead?"

"No, it's a vegetable garden."

Wei Ye was the one who answered.

What brings you here?

Er Ya glanced at Wei Ye. The boy was quite handsome, but he was too young; she didn't like him.

Wei Ye said, "My mother was afraid you would get lost, so she sent me to lead the way."

Wei, the old woman who was originally leading the way: ...

Er Ya raised her chin. "Alright, if you're willing to lead the way, then lead the way. Come on, let's go take a look at the vegetable garden."

Sanya didn't care if Sanya followed along; she just wanted to go with her second sister.

Wei Ye glanced at her secretly, then quickly lowered his head again. In any case, the Lin family girl was very different from the young ladies in the capital.

It's called a vegetable garden, but there aren't many vegetables in the dead of winter, except for some green vegetables covered in snow.

Er Ya glanced at it a few times and lost interest.

What is that place up ahead?

There was a platform directly in front of them, and from a distance, it looked like there were things on it.

Wei Ye: "That's the Wei family's training ground."

Upon hearing this, Sanya's eyes lit up, and she stared directly at Wei Ye.

"Do you dare to fight me?"
