The moment he stood outside the mansion, he did act impulsively and was deceived by appearances.
But seeing the real Anle Marquis's mansion didn't bring him any joy.
Such a big house, but the inside is like a dilapidated temple. If he really lived here, and couldn't afford to repair it, wouldn't he become a laughing stock?
"I've been watching you for ages, and you haven't moved an inch. Are you so happy you've gone mad?" Su Wenyuan's gloating voice came from behind him.
Sheng Jingyu had been keeping a close eye on the palace. When he received the news, he was startled, fearing that Su Wenyuan would come over with a knife.
When sharing this news with Su Wenyuan, she was very careful.
He carefully considered every word, hoping to calm Su Wenyuan down.
He knew Su Wenyuan too well; he knew she would be impulsive after hearing about this.
As it turns out, Sheng Jingyu was right.
No matter how carefully Sheng Jingyu chose his words, he couldn't change Su Wenyuan's temper.
She was about to enter the palace to argue with the Emperor, but Sheng Jingyu quickly stopped her. If she lost the argument, all would be well; but what if she won and the Emperor silenced her?
Fortunately, Ye Shan appeared in time and saved Su Wenyuan, which also indirectly saved Sheng Jingyu.
The news Ye Shan brought was that the Marquis of Anle's mansion was dilapidated and uninhabitable if it wasn't repaired.
However, to repair it from beginning to end would require far more money than Su Xian gambled away.
Su Wenyuan immediately understood: Su Yuan couldn't afford to live there, nor could she afford to repair it.
She calmed down and, after thinking for a moment, couldn't help but laugh out loud. The laughter was so loud that it sent chills down one's spine, and Sheng Jingyu almost sent someone to find Hua Ling.
“The Emperor is different. He dares to do anything and can do anything. If you were the Emperor, could you just order Su Yuan to be killed?” Su Wenyuan looked at Sheng Jingyu with anticipation.
Under normal circumstances, one should not issue orders directly, nor should one issue orders without cause.
But everyone is acting strangely now, so it's understandable that Sheng Jingyu would do something out of line.
"Okay." Sheng Jingyu nodded without hesitation. This wasn't so much an answer as it was more like a promise.
If Su Wenyuan wanted to, Sheng Jingyu would find a way to make it happen, even if it was unreasonable.
Hearing this definite answer, Su Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although these words were meant to appease her, a common expression of wishful thinking, Su Wenyuan was still very happy.
If she doesn't think about something happy, she's going to explode with anger.
Fortunately, the Marquis of Anle's residence is not yet habitable. If this house were the same as it was more than ten years ago, Su Wenyuan would definitely go to the Emperor for help.
Humiliating her is one thing, but to even insult a dead person is going too far.
Since it's uninhabitable, we need to find a different solution.
Su Wenyuan quickly had a carriage prepared and arrived at the legendary Marquis Anle's residence.
Seeing the dilapidated state of the place with her own eyes improved Su Wenyuan's mood considerably.
Seeing Su Yuan standing there motionless and in a daze, Su Wenyuan could roughly guess what he was thinking.
He wants to return the goods.
When Su Yuan heard Su Wenyuan's voice, his first reaction was panic, which quickly turned into excitement.
It's impossible to return the place he asked the Emperor for.
But Su Wenyuan can help him!
"Why are you here?" Su Yuan tried his best to show his disgust for her.
But his tone of voice revealed his true thoughts at that moment.
Su Yuan's overflowing excitement was something Su Wenyuan hadn't expected.
"Come and see." Su Wenyuan looked around and found that part of the wall had also been smashed down.
Is this how you raid someone's home? These people are really ruthless.
Su Yuan noticed Su Wenyuan's gaze and kindly explained, "The Marquis of Anle is so wealthy that some soldiers thought there was silver hidden in the wall, so they broke it open to take a look."
Looking through the broken wall, weeds grew everywhere.
No one has cleaned it up for so many years, can this still be considered a house now?
Su Wenyuan said disappointedly, "I thought it would be a nice place, but this is what it is. Isn't this just a deserted place with four walls? Does enclosing it up make it a house?"
It looks big from the outside, and its actual area is also large, but the inside is messy, like a deserted city after a defeat.
Su Yuan said anxiously, "This is the Marquis of Anle's residence! What kind of evaluation is that? What do you mean by 'deserted'...?"
"Look for yourself!" Su Wenyuan pointed casually to the broken walls and ruins.
Let alone whether Su Yuan can afford to repair it, even if Su Wenyuan wanted to repair it, she would have to sell some valuable items to keep her wallet afloat.
Seeing that Su Wenyuan wasn't angry at all and had no interest in the house, Su Yuan was so anxious he was jumping up and down.
“Your mother grew up here, and you’ve been here before, haven’t you? Right here, there’s a pond…” Su Yuan gestured to Su Wenyuan as they walked.
Su Wenyuan followed and indeed saw a large pit, then exclaimed, "This is a pool!"
Her reaction was enough to prove that she had really forgotten, so bringing up the past was useless, since Su Wenyuan was still young at that time.
Su Yuan continued, "You kicked me out of that house, and now I'm moving here. You... don't have any reaction?"
He wanted to see Su Wenyuan angry! Ideally, so angry that she would go straight to the Emperor!
Su Wenyuan explained seriously, "You misunderstood something. It wasn't me who kicked you out. You need to understand that Su Xian owed money, and that house was used by you to pay off the debt!"
"As for this place, since it was bestowed upon you by the Emperor, what can I say? Just stay here and we'll repair it little by little until it's finished..."
Su Wenyuan unconsciously curled up a malicious smile. Once it was repaired, she could find a way to get it back!
Su Yuan looked at her warily; he could clearly sense the ill intent she had just revealed.
Su Wenyuan wanted this place, but not a dilapidated one.
He didn't want it to break either!
The small one he just bought seems pretty good now; at least it can keep him out of the wind and rain.
Su Wenyuan took a few steps forward curiously and asked, "Which direction is the kitchen? I remember hearing that the kitchen of the Marquis of Anle's mansion is bigger than the houses of ordinary people."
"Oh dear, you'll be cooking in the main kitchen from now on, so you'll have to work harder. I wonder if you have enough servants."
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan felt another wave of despair.
It's simply not enough.
But if there are too many people, then there won't be enough money.
When the emperor bestowed this place upon him, did he ever consider these questions?
In fact, the Emperor had never thought about it, nor had he ever visited the Marquis of Anle's residence. He didn't even know what the situation was like inside the mansion after the confiscation of his property.
What he cared about most was how unpleasant Su Wenyuan's expression would be.
Since I couldn't see it myself right away, I sent Sheng Yuanhe over.
Sheng Yuanhe was equally excited, until he saw what it looked like inside and was dumbfounded...
