There was thick snow piled on the roadside.
Prince Hui followed the carriage all the way. The further he walked, the more he felt something was wrong. Wasn't this the only way to the Ninth Prince's residence?
Could it be that this girl is going to move into the Ninth Prince's residence?
Isn’t this a mess!?
Thinking of this, King Hui shouted "Gee!" and galloped forward on his horse.
Xiao Pu reined in his horse, signaling the carriage to continue forward. "Your Highness, Prince Hui, what do you want?"
Fu Tong'er leaned out of the window and yelled, "Lu Qixuan, stop looking for trouble! Get out! Lieutenant General Xiao, ignore him." Then she lowered the curtain.
Xiao Pu grabbed the reins and turned the horse forward, leaving King Hui behind.
Prince Hui saw that the carriage did not stop in front of Prince Chun's mansion, but continued to move forward until it stopped at the end of the alley.
This place is really nice!
There was no road ahead, only a moat running through the gate. From now on, if I wanted to see Fu Tong'er again, I had to pass through the Ninth Emperor's gate first!
After the carriage stopped, a soldier took a footstool and placed it under the carriage.
Xiao Pu's horseman turned around and said, "Miss Fu, we're here."
Qiao'er lifted the curtain and helped Fu Tong'er out of the carriage.
"Miss, please slow down."
This place looks familiar. When Fu Tong'er was thinking, Xiao Pu turned around and knocked on the door of a house.
An old woman came out to open the door.
She smiled and said, "Sir, is that girl here?"
Xiao Pu nodded and said softly, "Don't talk nonsense for a while. Be careful of the punishment from Master Jiu!"
"Yes, yes, I dare not."
Xiao Pu walked towards Fu Tong'er and said, "Miss Fu, the landlord is over there. You just need to pay the money and sign a contract."
Fu Tong'er looked at such a beautiful place and asked doubtfully, "Is it really only one or two taels of silver? Will the price go up suddenly?"
Xiao Pu said: "If she dares to raise the price, you should immediately send the maid to come to our master."
Speaking of Jiu Ye, Fu Tong'er suddenly remembered that this was the river in front of Jiu Ye's mansion. Did that mean Jiu Ye lived nearby?
Fu Tong'er asked Qiao'er to take out one or two taels of silver, and then went to the landlord.
The landlady also liked Fu Tong'er and her maid Qiao'er very much when she saw them.
She carefully examined Fu Tong'er. Her figure and demeanor revealed she was the daughter of a wealthy family. However, her blood circulation wasn't very good, and her lips were pale with a hint of vermilion. Even so, her delicate, graceful figure was still strikingly beautiful. If she could cultivate her blood circulation a little more, she might be a breathtaking beauty.
The old lady guessed that this must be the girl that Jiu Ye was taking care of. Seeing that the girl was only seventeen or eighteen years old, Jiu Ye was a generation older than her... However, Jiu Ye was the regent of the current dynasty, and this girl's appearance and temperament were worthy of him. What was the big deal if she was a dozen years older?
The old lady smiled and said, "Young lady, you are looking for a place to rent, right? This house of mine is empty anyway, and it's perfect for you and your maid. I'll charge you one ounce of silver a year. Please come and take a look."
Fu Tong'er brought her maid Qiao'er and followed the old lady in. Although the courtyard was not luxurious, it was at least divided into two floors, with a wing room on each side, and the courtyard was not very big.
"That's great, Qiao'er, give the silver to this old lady." Fu Tong'er said.
"Yes, Miss." Qiao'er took out one or two taels of silver, gave it to the old woman, and then signed the contract.
At this time, King Hui's voice came from behind: "This place must cost a lot of money, right?"
Seeing that the man was dressed gorgeously and was accompanying someone, the old lady thought he was Fu Tonger's friend.
"Sir, this house has been vacant for too long, and I thought I could make some money by renting it out, so I'll rent it to the two girls at a lower price."
"No matter how cheap it is, a house on this piece of land can't be built for less than ten taels?"
The landlord was silent. After all, the rent had already been paid by Jiu Ye. Jiu Ye wanted to coax this girl, who would dare to expose it?
King Hui twisted Fu Tong'er's shoulders again, making her face him, and said viciously: "I will tell you one last time..."
At this moment, there was a sound of a door being pushed open outside, and Lu Zhenzhi walked in. His voice was low and deep: "My nephew, I heard that Prince Hui's mansion was smashed. Why don't you go back and take a look?"
When King Hui heard this, he was so surprised that he turned around and left immediately. As he walked, he thought: The Ninth Prince actually sent people to destroy his mansion for that girl Tong'er!
"Master Jiu!" Xiao Pu said with his head lowered.
"Hello, Master Jiu..." The old woman bowed slightly.
Jiu Ye said calmly, "No need to be polite."
"Master Jiu? You're here?" Fu Tong'er's eyes lit up and shone.
