"Let's go, let's hurry up and go shopping." Zhao Xiaojuan didn't want to say anything more. The best thing to do was to buy the house quickly.

Along the way, Zhao Xiaojuan kept emphasizing how good this house was. She had gone to great lengths to negotiate with the seller and was able to go directly to the broker to complete the transaction.

Li Qingyun nodded. He didn't know whether what Zhao Xiaojuan said was true or not. He was in the academy every day and didn't know much about the housing situation in the capital.

After all, he also knew that the price of a house varied depending on its geographical location, age, and size.

So it is possible that such a nice house is worth fifteen hundred taels.

"Qingyun, do you really want this house to be under eldest brother's name?" Zhao Xiaojuan asked again without giving up.

She felt very unconvinced. She was the one who found the house and suffered all the hardships. Her brother did not contribute anything, so why should the house be registered in his name?

"It's inconvenient to have the house in my name, and I can't go to my grandmother to get the household allowance." The "grandmother" Li Qingyun mentioned refers to Madam Wei Guoyi.

Otherwise, his purchase of a house in private would surely be exposed.

Zhao Xiaojuan rolled her eyes, turned around, and smiled at Li Qingyun, "Qingyun, I seem to have heard that my boss said that I must be present in person. My brother is not here today."

Li Qingyun was stunned, "Brother is not here? Then let's go find him. The transaction will be done quickly anyway."

Li Qingyun did not notice Zhao Xiaojuan's little thoughts.

"Or, let's put it under my name. Anyway, there are three of us brothers and sisters, so it doesn't matter whose name it is." Zhao Xiaojuan still stated her intention.

"That's not good. You are a girl and you will get married in the future." Li Qingyun refused outright.

Zhao Xiaojuan's heart sank. This was the second time she had made such a request. She didn't expect Li Qingyun to reject her without hesitation.

Forget it, you are unkind and I am unjust, you deserve it for me to cheat you out of four taels of silver.

"Let's not go look for big brother first, let's go to Ya'an and ask if it can be done without the person being present." In the end, Zhao Xiaojuan still didn't want to go look for Zhao Qingshui.

The more people know this, the easier it will be for one's embezzlement to be exposed.

It was just that my grandmother and my aunt saw me just now, but they probably didn't hear what I had said to my grandparents.

Zhao Xiaojuan said that it would be inappropriate if no one was there, and then she said she would go and try first.

Li Qingyun was not a fool. The children of the eldest wife were all very smart. He quickly understood Zhao Xiaojuan's little thoughts.

Li Qingyun has been in the Guoyi Palace for nearly a year. He is no longer the child he used to be. After he understood everything, he just smiled calmly and did not expose Zhao Xiaojuan.

In fact, putting the house under Zhao Qingshui's name was a decision Li Qingyun made after much consideration.

Buying a property outside is a way for him to leave himself a way out.

However, he hoped that he would never have to use this retreat. He hoped that he could stay in the government forever.

He had lived a hard life before, but life in the government was a million times better than outside.

Not only did he want to stay, he expected to stay forever.

But, there are always unexpected things. What if the King and his wife are no longer around, and Li Heng doesn't like me anymore and kicks me out?

He has seen that biological children are better than adopted children in any case. Isn't that what his second aunt thinks?

So he wants to buy a house, but he doesn't want to leave the government, so the house cannot be in his name, but only in the name of someone he trusts.
