"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
Su Qinghe grinned and then personally poured the man a cup of tea.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Pushing the tea towards Ling Feng, Su Qinghe asked casually.
"have."
Ling Feng calmed himself down, shook off the strange feeling he had just experienced, and then told Su Qinghe about the Yuan Dan.
"Okay, just take care of yourself."
Seeing that Su Qinghe didn't seem to care much, Ling Feng frowned.
"This person is extremely skilled in martial arts, so don't underestimate him. I'm currently unwell and can't be of much help to you."
Ling Feng gave the reminder again in a serious tone, then stood up.
Where do I live?
Su Qinghe waved her hand impatiently.
"Do as you please, but don't go too far away, or I won't be able to catch up if something happens."
"I know." Ling Feng nodded calmly.
Su Qinghe asked Nanfeng to take her to choose a courtyard, and then she hurriedly left alone.
We must make the bullet materials today, otherwise even a hundred Yuan Dan won't help.
The backyard of the Su family mansion.
Ling Feng made several turns and finally arrived at the place where Su Qinghe's husbands were gathered.
The courtyards of the several men were very close together.
Are there any empty courtyards here?
Looking around at the few scattered courtyards, Ling Feng's eyes remained calm as he softly asked Nan Feng, who was standing to his side.
"Those houses over there are where the young masters currently reside; the others are empty. Would you like to take a look at them one by one?"
Nanfeng pointed to Lin Xi and the others' courtyard, then roughly marked out an area, before turning to look expressionlessly at the man the head of the family had recently brought back.
He attacked Su Qinghe every time they met, and the head of the family didn't like him either. She wasn't as respectful to him as she was to her other husbands.
Noticing Nanfeng's attitude towards him, Lingfeng wasn't angry and simply walked forward.
"Let's go take a look."
Leaving the person behind, Ling Feng walked directly towards a rockery with a small courtyard in the middle.
Seeing that the person had walked away, Nanfeng remembered Su Qinghe's instructions and hurriedly followed.
After much consideration and careful selection, Ling Feng chose the place he had visited for the first time – Qianfeng Garden.
It just so happens that it filled the gap in the men's courtyards, so now we really are seeing each other all the time.
Turning around to look at the closed doors of the other courtyards, Ling Feng sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard and watched the people Su Qinghe had arranged clean the rooms.
Xiao Ying had already woken up and was now giving instructions from the side, her face pale. After everything was almost tidied up, she returned to stand behind Ling Feng.
“Young Master, isn’t this place too close to the Su family’s husbands? That Ji Qingyu from today will probably cause trouble for you again in the future.”
Xiaoying glanced worriedly at the most ornate courtyard among all the houses; that was Ji Qingyu's residence, which Nanfeng had specifically reminded her of earlier.
Ling Feng followed his gaze and looked over.
"It's alright, he's just causing trouble, and I'm safer being closer to them."
After speaking, Ling Feng gave Xiao Ying a reproachful look.
"Don't be impulsive like you were today. Our relationship with Su Qinghe has improved, so we must not do anything to upset her again."
Xiaoying immediately lowered her head and admitted her mistake. "Yes, young master."
Neither of them spoke, and they silently observed their surroundings.
The house had been uninhabited for a long time, and it took a group of people until the afternoon to finish cleaning it up.
Ling Feng blinked. He never used to take a nap, but now that he was pregnant, he was always easily tired. Even though it was past lunchtime, he was still a little sleepy.
"Young master, please go inside and get some rest. I'll keep watch outside."
Just as Xiaoying was about to help Lingfeng into the house, there was a noise in the opposite courtyard.
What are you doing here?
As soon as Ji Qingyu opened the door, she saw the two people in the opposite courtyard, and she immediately felt a little unhappy.
The wife actually let him move in, but why did she choose to live right across from her? Was she deliberately trying to annoy him?
Seeing his indignant expression, Ling Feng knew he must have misunderstood, but he was always a man of few words and didn't want to explain to him. He turned and went into the house without saying a word.
"Hey! New guy, do you even know the rules?!"
Seeing that he was ignoring her, Ji Qingyu stomped her foot in anger, but dared not go over to confront him.
After calling for a while without getting a response, he turned around and went towards Ji Yuan's courtyard.
My brother is the best at managing the household; he'll definitely have a way to deal with this arrogant young master!
...
Spring Water Pavilion.
Lin Xi slept until dusk in the afternoon before waking up, at which time Wenzhu was combing his hair.
Looking at the still somewhat dazed person in front of the mirror, Wenzhu tentatively spoke.
"Young master, is that new young master Ling really from that kind of place? How could a lady as refined as the head of the family be interested in a man from that kind of place?"
Hearing Wenzhu mention Ling Feng, Lin Xi rubbed his eyes.
"It doesn't look like it. My wife didn't say anything, so please don't say things like that in the future. It's not good for Ling Langjun."
He whispered something, took a hairpin from the box, and handed it to Wenzhu.
“Wear this one this afternoon. Ling Langjun will definitely be having dinner with us tonight. I wore a wooden hairpin when I saw him today, so it’s best to be more presentable on the first day.”
Looking at the exquisitely crafted jade hairpin handed to her, Wenzhu's eyes flashed with longing as she carefully reached out and took it.
He had been eyeing this hairpin for a long time. Every carving on it was exquisite, and the jade looked to be of excellent quality blue jade, but Lin Xi rarely wore it.
Wenzhu touched it lovingly, then reluctantly inserted it into Linxi's hair, her eyes filled with unspeakable jealousy.
"My lord, the master has taken a new concubine. Aren't you worried at all? I've heard that men in those places are good at seducing women. You must be careful."
Wenzhu carefully observed Lin Xi's expression and, seeing that he still had a smile on his face, couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.
"I've heard that some families marry women from those kinds of places, and the head of the household is so infatuated with them that he listens to everything they say. Even the wife is being bullied by that woman, and their lives are miserable."
"People as kind as you are the easiest to be bullied."
Wenzhu was implying that she wanted Linxi to help her find out more about Xin Xiaojun.
Lin Xi frowned, revealing a rare hint of displeasure. He tilted his head back to look at Wen Zhu standing behind him.
“That’s someone else’s family. My wife isn’t that kind of person. I don’t want to hear you say that anymore.”
"Moreover, I trust my wife's judgment. If he were truly such a frivolous person, my wife wouldn't have brought him back."
Wenzhu opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but was interrupted by Lin Xi.
"Alright, stop talking. I know you mean well, but Ling Langjun doesn't seem like that kind of person."
Lin Xi smiled and patted Wen Zhu's hand.
"Hurry up and help me with my makeup! I want to go chat with Brother Yuan before dinner!"
