Qin Mo owns real estate in the capital city. Ever since he sued his distant uncle Qin Xiaoren for embezzling his property at the Imperial Clan Court, Qin Mo has taken back the former Duke Heng's mansion and has been sending people to clean and repair it year-round.
The Duke of Heng's mansion was the residence of Qin Mo's father before he became the Prince of Heng. It was located on the east side of Yinque Street, in the most luxurious area of the capital, and on a very large plot of land. No wonder Qin Xiaoren rented out most of the street-facing rooms in the Duke's mansion to support his extravagant lifestyle.
After Qin Mo took over the Duke's mansion, he didn't immediately evict the tenants. However, as his power grew, everyone gradually moved out on their own. Now, the Duke's mansion is a well-known luxurious residence in the East District, even though its owner is rarely home.
Before Qin Mo could even have a sip of tea after entering the mansion, Qin Yu Mu and Qin Yuan Ze, having heard the news, came to visit together.
"Oh my! Mozi, this is the first time I've ever been to your house. It's dazzling! All those glass windows! How much money must that have cost..."
"Would he lack money? Besides, all the glass workshops in the entire Great Xia belong to his family. Would he lack glass? You're incredibly stupid!"
“Nephew Yuanze, no matter how stupid I am, I’m still your uncle. Don’t be so disrespectful. If you keep this up, I won’t stand up for you and lie to Qin Leshi anymore!”
Qin Yumu and Qin Yuanze often bicker, with Qin Yumu usually coming out on the receiving end. However, ever since the arrival of Qin Leshi, this violent girl, Qin Yumu has been able to win back some face by resorting to trickery.
"You two are quick to find out! I just walked in and you two are already here to freeload a meal!"
"Yes! Now that Yuanze has joined the city guard, his men are everywhere at the city gates. Who can see the great respect the Prince of Yan is giving you? Just watch, your place will soon be packed with people!"
"Damn it! What else is there to say? Close the gate right now and tell everyone I'm not in the manor; I've gone to a brothel to have some fun!"
Qin Mo hated this kind of trouble the most. In the Hengwang Mansion in Dayuan, there were stewards and Kai and others to take care of those low-class guests for him. He didn't have that kind of arrangement in the capital, so he simply closed the door.
Unfortunately, he reacted too late; someone had already come to his door, and that person was there to express their stance.
"The Empress... has arrived!"
