When Xue Huan returned to the room, she saw Mrs. Qin feeding medicine to Chen.

"Mom, Sister-in-law Qin."

"Miss Xue is back." Mrs. Qin was holding the medicine and couldn't stand up, so she turned her head and greeted her.

Chen drank the medicine, "Liu'er." Seeing that she was safe and sound, the worry that had been hanging in her heart finally came to her mind.

Xue Huan settled today's wages with Mrs. Qin and said to her, "I've rented a yard. You don't need to come to the inn tomorrow. Go there directly."

Tell her the location of the courtyard.

Mrs. Qin took note of it carefully.

As soon as she left, Chen asked, "Liu'er, why did I hear her call you Miss Xue? Also, did you rent a yard?"

Xue Huan: "Well, now that we've left the Cao family, we have nothing to do with them anymore. There's no need to use the surname Cao anymore. So I've chosen a new name for myself, Xue Huan. Do you think it sounds nice, mother?"

Chen was stunned, looking at her daughter in front of her, and suddenly felt a sense of strangeness. She said to sever ties and she broke off ties, and she said to change her name and she changed her name. Has Liuer been so decisive before?

"Mom? What's wrong with you?"

"Ah, nothing, I just got distracted. Your new name sounds strange to me, so I'll just call you Liu'er from now on."

"Well, you can call me whatever you want. The name Xue Huan is just used to deal with outsiders. By the way, let me tell you about the rental house. I met a good person today..."

Xue Huan told everyone about what happened in renting the house today.

Chen sighed, "That old man is indeed a good man. When we move in, we must thank him profusely."

"That's what I thought. I'll make some soft and delicious cakes for the old man when the time comes."

"Alright."

The mother and daughter talked and had dinner. Afterwards, Xue Huan brought some hot water, scrubbed Chen's face, applied medicine to her, washed herself, and climbed onto the bed to lie down.

I couldn't sleep for a while because I was thinking about something.

One is that I have been busy all day and have not completed any tasks.

Another issue is household registration, which needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

Otherwise it will be inconvenient to do anything in the future.

The next morning, after breakfast, Xue Huan hired a carriage, carried Chen on his back, and came to the rented courtyard.

But when I got there, I found that Mrs. Qin had already arrived.

She was standing at the door, hesitating. When she saw Xue Huan getting out of the car, she immediately went to greet her, "Miss Xue."

"Mrs. Qin, why are you here so early?" Xue Huan took the key and opened the door.

"I just thought that you were moving today, so it would be easier for you to come early." Mrs. Qin said as she carried Chen down from the carriage and walked into the house.

Xue Huan opened the door. The room was fully furnished, but there were no daily necessities. She couldn't help but slap her forehead, feeling a little annoyed. She should have arranged the place first and then moved Chen in. Now she could only let her lie on the bed.

"Mrs. Qin, please help me look after my mother. I'll go buy everything right away."

"Okay, go ahead. I'm here with your mother."

Xue Huan still got on the rented carriage, went to the street to buy all the necessary daily necessities, and brought back a full carriage of things.

This trip cost me a lot of money, and my wallet became a lot thinner again, but it was necessary.

Mrs. Qin and I put everything in place, made the bed, hung the curtains, placed the teacups and teapots on the table, and put the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other condiments into the kitchen.

Originally, the courtyard was clean but not very popular. Now that it has been cleaned up, it has become much warmer and has a homey atmosphere.

At noon, Xue Huan went into the kitchen and prepared three dishes and a soup, and the three women had a good meal.

Mrs. Qin praised Xue Huan's cooking skills highly. "The food you cook is so delicious! This is the first time I've ever eaten such a delicious meal. I once went to the Shen family, a wealthy family in our city, to have a buffet. At that time, I thought that they were indeed wealthy families. The food they eat is different from what ordinary people eat. It tasted amazing, but compared to what you cook, that buffet I attended then is just so-so!"

Chen had eaten the food cooked by Xue Huan many times before, so although she thought it was delicious, she could still control herself. But after hearing Mrs. Qin's praise, the smile on her face never faded, and she felt very proud.

"The food cooked by Du'er is really delicious."

Xue Huan smiled and said, "If it tastes good, eat more."

In the afternoon, Xue Huan finally had some time. She gave some instructions to Mrs. Qin and went out.

"Knock knock knock!" Xue Huan knocked on Yuan Ji's gate.

Yuan Ji opened the door, saw her, and asked knowingly, "Why didn't you go to the bookstore yesterday?"

Xue Huan sighed: "Let me go in and talk."

Yuanji moved sideways to let her in.

After listening to her talk about what happened in the past two days, Yuan Ji said, "Why didn't you come to see me yesterday?"

After the incident, the first thing she thought of was not asking him for help, but solving it herself. What does this mean? It means that she still excluded him from her mind. During this period, she seemed to only regard him as a target for the money she would get after completing the task, rather than him as a person.

Yuan Ji suddenly felt a sense of uncertainty. Would his method really work this time? If she still didn't fall for him after all his attempts, wouldn't he lose his bet with Yuan Xi?

Losing the bet doesn't matter. The key is that once he loses the bet, he must hand over Xue Huan and will no longer be able to use her to restrain Yuan Xi.

But if she fell in love with him, it would be different. He could use her to attack Yuan Xi and make Yuan Xi give up competing for the position of Divine Emperor.

There is still a year left, he must speed up.

Xue Huan was a little surprised by the resentment in his tone, and then she felt a little happy. It seemed that her strategy during this period was effective, and Yuan Ji had begun to care about her!

The two people's ideas are completely different and they are not on the same channel at all.

Xue Huan said, "I'm here to see you. I want to ask you for a favor."

Yuan Ji: "What's the matter?"

Xue Huan: "I want to start my own business. Do you have any suggestions?"

She had previously learned from the "Daqi Code" that women in this era were allowed to set up their own households, which is commonly known as female households. However, this law was basically in name only, and very few women would set up female households. The universal concept was that only men could set up their own households, and women could not.

But Xue Huan had this idea as early as when she saw the law, and now is the perfect time to put it into practice.

Yuan Ji pondered for a moment and said, "No problem, leave this matter to me."

Xue Huan felt relieved: "Thank you so much! I'll treat you to a meal after this is done."

"Just treating me to a meal?" Yuan Ji joked.

At the same time, the avatar system issued a task to Xue Huan: "Daily Task: Deliver a gift to Yuan Ji personally. Completion reward: 100 taels of silver."

Xue Huan: "Of course not only that, I will also give you a big gift when the time comes."

Yuan Ji smiled: "Okay, then I'll wait."
