Several people followed Ningxiang and soon arrived at Jinglan Garden.
This place is quite close to Shen Nian's Lingyun Pavilion, about a five-minute walk.
Shen Nian walked in and saw that the room was tidied according to the standards of the prince's wife, and nodded secretly.
Liu did put some thought into these superficial efforts so as not to give anyone any evidence.
Xia Tian looked around and was very satisfied. The whole house was full of luxury and nobility, and there were people to serve her. She finally lived the life of eating and waiting for death that she had dreamed of in her previous life.
Seeing that Xia Tian didn't show any dissatisfaction, Shen Nian said, "You will live in this courtyard from now on. It is next to Lingyun Pavilion and it is convenient for travel."
"Well, it's nice here."
"Ningxiang, you two should choose the servants in this courtyard yourselves. Don't let anyone with ulterior motives get close to Madam."
"Yes, Prince."
Listening to Shen Nian's arrangements, Xia Tian smiled. She suddenly didn't want to let go of such a good man!
Shen Nian stayed for a while, said he would come over later to have dinner with her, and left first.
Ningxiang and Ningxue went to pick someone. Xiatian saw that there was no one in the room, so he jumped onto the bed and sighed comfortably, "This is what life is like."
Unfortunately, before she could feel comfortable for long, a group of people looking for trouble came into the yard.
Xia Tian frowned at the beautiful woman in her twenties who came in without saying hello. Who is this? How could she be so rude? Didn't she even knock before entering?
She didn't understand the situation and couldn't get angry. Ningxiang and Ningxue hadn't returned yet, so she had no choice but to step forward and ask doubtfully, "Who are you?"
Before the beautiful woman could speak, a nanny next to her who looked to be in her forties shouted, "How dare you! This is the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion."
Oh, it turned out to be Shen Nian’s biological elder sister, Shen Hui.
"Big sister." Xia Tian called out.
"Don't call me elder sister. I don't admit that you are my brother's wife." Shen Hui looked her up and down, walked over with her head held high and chest puffed out, and sat on the chair right above the main hall.
"Then I wonder what the young lady wants to see me about?" Xia Tian readily followed suit and walked forward with a smile and sat on the chair opposite Shen Hui.
"How dare you! Who told you to sit down before the eldest lady gave the order?" Shen Hui's nanny shouted again.
"What are you saying? I'm in my own room. Do I need others' approval for where to sit?" Xia Tian retorted with a smile.
"So this is our eldest lady's yard."
"You also said this is 'original', now it is my yard."
"you......"
Shen Hui looked at her nanny who was speechless because of Xia Tian, and snorted, "You are so sharp-tongued."
Xia Tian was not in a hurry and just looked at them with a smile on his face.
Shen Hui looked at her unhurried appearance and became angry. She couldn't help but ask, "I heard that you used the favor of saving my life to force my brother to marry you, is that right?"
"Can you ask your brother?"
"My brother is loyal and righteous, that's why you took advantage of him. Even if the favor of saving his life was real, the position of the Crown Prince's wife in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is not something a girl from the countryside like you can dream of." Shen Hui raised her chin slightly and said condescendingly.
"Oh? If you're not satisfied, Miss, you can go directly to your brother Shen Nian."
Shen Hui choked. If finding his brother was helpful, would she have to come here directly?
She is a peasant girl, what qualifications do I have to talk to her?
"I can give you money so that you can have food and clothing for the rest of your life, as long as you leave my brother." Seeing that Xia Tian was unmoved, Shen Hui used money to tempt him.
"Oh? How much?" Xia Tian immediately became interested. She didn't expect that the good things that many women dreamed of every day in their previous lives would come true with her.
Seeing Xia Tian's interest, Shen Hui thought she agreed. She looked down on her and said, as if she were giving alms, "One thousand taels of silver."
"It's only one thousand taels. I thought it was much more!" Xia Tian curled his lips.
Shen Hui took a deep breath, angered by Xia Tian's tone, "You'll never be able to earn a thousand taels in your lifetime."
“It’s okay, I can’t earn it, I can ask Shen Nian to earn it for me!”
"You..." Shen Hui was so angry at Xia Tian's rogue behavior that she couldn't breathe for a long time. She rubbed her chest with her hands a few times before gritting her teeth and saying, "Ten thousand taels, no more."
"Five hundred thousand taels, if that doesn't work, forget it." Xia Tian stretched out a hand.
"You're dreaming. Since you don't agree to take the money and leave, don't blame me for being rude." Shen Hui stood up with a cold face and threw a handkerchief, "Come here."
"The servant is here."
"Kick her out of here! This is my yard. I don't think anyone dares to live here without my permission."
"Wait, wait!" Ningxiang squeezed through the crowd and stood in front of Xia Tian. "Miss, calm down. This is where the young master asked my wife to live."
"Your wife? Ningxiang, aren't you serving the prince?"
"It was the prince who asked me to serve the lady from now on. Ningxue has gone to invite the prince. If you don't believe me, you can ask him later." Ningxiang was frightened at the moment. She went out for a while and didn't expect that something almost happened. If anything happened to the lady, she and Ningxue would be punished by the prince.
"Hmph, it's useless no matter who comes, get rid of him." Shen Hui was a little anxious when she heard that someone had gone to invite Shen Nian. How could she not know her brother? Once he came, she couldn't get rid of him.
She came here at this time because she heard Shen Nian went out, otherwise she would have come in the morning.
Unfortunately, her goal today would ultimately fail.
When the eldest lady entered the yard, Mu Chen, who was arranged by Chen Nian to secretly watch Jinglan Garden, had already gone out to look for Chen Nian.
