Upon hearing this, Su Yu asked again, "So, will you live in the capital or return to Le'an City in the future?"
If they lived in the capital, they would mostly stay at the Earl's Mansion.
If no one lives in the house, won't it be devoid of life and fall into disrepair quickly?
In my opinion, we should buy some servants instead.
At the very least, someone needs to clean this yard, and someone needs to take care of the flowers, plants, and trees.
Furthermore, the main gate also needs to be guarded.
She thought that if Chi Yu was short of money, she could help him buy it.
She was just afraid that it would leave a bad impression on Chi Yu, making her think that she was planting people in the mansion.
Actually, she just thought that Chi Yu and Qin Mu's identities were what they were.
If a household has no servants, it will be looked down upon by others.
People in the capital city love to compare themselves to others.
If this princess's mansion has no servants, it will surely be looked down upon.
Chi Yu had no idea what she was thinking, and upon hearing this, he said:
"I've been living mainly in Beijing for the past two years, and my brother and sister-in-law can live in this house."
If they don't stay, my Chi clan still has so many sons.
It's good to let them come here and broaden their horizons.
Although this mansion is called the Princess's Mansion, the Emperor had previously said that he intended to bestow it upon Asen.
Asen made a significant contribution to Da Chu's victory over the Northern Di.
Since the Marquis of Zhenbei and his men did not return to the capital in triumph, he could not reward them, so he gave them in my name.
Therefore, although this place is called the Princess's Residence, when it comes to making decisions, it's up to Ah Sen!
Su Yu was unaware of this matter; all she knew was that this was the Princess's residence.
Not to mention Su Yu, even Chi Dahu and Chi Sanbao, apart from Chi Qiao, didn't know about this.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaomai, who was present, felt a mix of confusion, excitement, and apprehension.
"Little Fish, is this true? Did the Emperor really say that?"
But isn't that land deed in Xiaoyu's name?
"Yes, Third Sister-in-law, this matter was discussed in the imperial court."
If you don't believe me, have Ah Sen or my older brother go out and ask around.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Xiaomai went to find her youngest son.
After she told him about it, Chi Sen said:
"Mother, don't think that this place was really bestowed upon me by the Emperor."
Chen Xiaomai, with limited experience and a somewhat slow mind, looked at her youngest son with puzzlement upon hearing this.
Chi Sen broke it down and explained it to her in a low voice.
"Mother, my aunt is an immortal. She has done a lot for the court."
Logically speaking, since this was her first time visiting the capital, the imperial court should have provided her with accommodation.
However, just before heading to the capital, the aunt showed off her skills, claiming that she had become a mortal.
Then, the emperor probably had some thoughts in mind, so he neglected her and gave her such a small three-courtyard house.
This house is considered very large by our standards; it's bigger than the old Chi family's house and the ancestral hall combined.
But my aunt is a princess, a princess who has been kind to the court, so this courtyard is completely unworthy of her status.
Mother, do you understand what I'm saying?
Chen Xiaomai nodded vigorously, then replied softly in return:
"Yes, Mother understands. So the Emperor wants to use this house to your aunt as a favor, after he's already used it?
Then, after your aunt entered the palace, she might have done something that made the Emperor hesitate, so he changed his story and said it was for you?
"Yes, that's what I mean. So, Mother, this house isn't mine, and it doesn't even have my name on it."
