Zhong Muyu waved her hand in front of his eyes: "What are you thinking about? What I'm discussing right now is very serious. Don't think I'm joking or playing tricks."

"I didn't think that way. Do as you please."

Lu Ziyuan stood up irritably, no longer wanting to continue the discussion, and quickly left.

Zhong Muyu was left looking bewildered: What's wrong with him now?

Never mind him, I'll go pick out a house tomorrow and start a new life!

In the study, Chengfeng and Zhiyu were dealing with the accumulated official business of the past few days. They were both very puzzled when they saw Lu Ziyuan go out and then come back.

Zhiyu asked cautiously, "You and the Princess didn't... have another argument, did they?"

Chengfeng said, "It shouldn't be like that. The Princess Consort plans to..."

Cheng Feng hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself. Lu Ziyuan sat at the table without saying a word, and the two of them wisely did not disturb him. Anyone who dared to disturb him at this time was someone who was not afraid of suffering.

After a while, Lu Ziyuan seemed to have made a major decision: "Riding the wind!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chengfeng was caught off guard by the sudden call.

"Didn't I send you to the Princess's side? You can stay with the Princess then!"

Chengfeng thought he had misheard: "Your Highness, are you going to send me away as well?"

"I'm not telling you to get rid of her. You keep an eye on her and report back to me regularly."

"But if the princess finds out about this, she will definitely not let it go."

"She doesn't know martial arts and isn't that sharp. As long as you're careful, there won't be any problems."

Lu Ziyuan told him his thoughts, and Zhiyu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, I didn't expect you to care so much about the Princess Consort now. If that's the case, why make things so complicated? Wouldn't it be better to just repair your relationship with her?"

Lu Ziyuan said, "Do you think I haven't tried? But Zhong Muyu is very stubborn and won't listen to anything I say! Besides, I don't really care about her. It's just that she has the title of Princess Consort of Ling, so I have to be careful not to cause trouble for the Ling Prince's Mansion."

Care? How could he? He's in love with Su Zhirou.

Zhiyu pouted. Since the prince said no, then no.

...

That night, the three people in the study seemed to have come up with a detailed plan.

Meanwhile, the mistress and servant of Xinxiang Courtyard got up early and went to look for houses all over the city.

Since we're leaving the Prince's mansion, we need a place to stay; we can't sleep in the open.

On the street, the two carried various snacks in their hands, looking leisurely as if they were strolling around.

In early spring, she asked, "Your Highness, we've been shopping for so long, have you found a shop you like?"

"These places are nice, but they're still a little lacking. When we're out and about, don't call me Princess, call me Sister."

"Well... I'll still call you Miss."

In early spring, after thinking about it, Zhong Muyu seemed to be a little younger than her.

Zhong Muyu chewed the dried fruit in her mouth with a crunching sound, and in the blink of an eye, she saw a caravan passing by with a full load of goods.

She patted the early spring: "These merchants, are they all from Linghai Port?"

Zaochun said, "If that direction is indeed Linghai Port, then Lingqing's trade is mostly conducted by sea."

"I see, let's go take a look."

Seemingly having found a new goal, Zhong Muyu took Zaochun's hand and they ran all the way to Linghai Port.

Besides the market streets, the port is also the busiest place in the city. Zhong Muyu saw many merchant ships docked there, and merchants coming and going were unloading goods.

The salty sea breeze blowing on my face was refreshing.

Early Spring asked, "Miss, what are we doing here?"

"Of course I'm looking at apartments. I think this place is pretty good."

Zhong Muyu pointed to some houses across the street.

"Here? This place is nowhere near as good as the city. Miss, let's choose another place. This place is not good."

Seeing Zaochun's wary expression, Zhong Muyu asked, "You seem to dislike this place a bit?"

Early Spring quietly pulled her closer: "Miss, there are so many people coming from outside. They might not all be good people. I heard there are even pirates!"

Zaochun laughed and said, "I thought it was something serious. Don't worry about it. When we open a shop, we can just hire a few martial arts heroes as bodyguards."

"Bodyguard? What's that?"

"They're like guards in a prince's palace. Let's go, let's find out the price."

Zhong Muyu brought Zaochun to a shop on the street.

The shop is in a good location and is quite large, but it looks like it's going out of business.

The two knocked on the back door, and soon a man of about forty years old came out.

He looked at them suspiciously: "What brings you two ladies here?"

Zhong Muyu asked, "I'd like to ask, why is this shop closed in broad daylight?"

The man waved his hand: "It won't be open anymore, and it won't be open again in the future. You can go somewhere else."

He made a move to close the door, but Zhong Muyu stopped him.

"Why are you not open? To be honest, we're looking to buy a shop, so we've been asking around here. If you're interested, we can discuss it. If you're not selling, we won't bother you any longer."

Zhong Muyu honestly told the truth. The man looked at her and finally opened the door: "Come in and talk."

Looks like there's a chance.

As the two entered the courtyard, Zhong Muyu noticed that the shop was larger than it appeared from the outside, but the flowers and plants in the courtyard were neglected and looked deserted.

"Sir, who are they?"

Inside the house, a middle-aged woman came out; they appeared to be a couple.

"Whoever wants to buy this old house of ours, hurry up and make some tea."
