In the middle of the garden was a small pond with a small stone bridge above it. On the other side of the stone bridge was a pavilion, and the original east wall had been built into a row of buildings because it faced the river. After entering, there were viewing galleries and other buildings.
Third Lady was sitting at a small stone table in the pavilion. In front of her was an account book, and she was checking it carefully with Xiuhe helping by the side. She looked like the eldest madam in charge of the residence.
Ye Jingtang walked over the small bridge to the pavilion. He smiled and said, “Third Lady, I’m afraid this residence is a bit big. There are only three of us. Just tidying up will tire us out.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Pei Xiangjun saw Ye Jingtang, she recalled what had happened last night. Her face was still burning. She turned around slightly, buried her head in the account book elegantly, and said in a calm tone, “Who knows how many girls you will bring back in the future. If you don’t buy a bigger house, what if you can’t live in it in the future?”
Xiuhe, on the other hand, was enthusiastic. Holding a fan, she stood up to let Ye Jingtang sit down, helped fan him, and smiled. “Young Master, there’s no need for you to clean up this place personally. There are many maidservants in the family. They think that you are a good person and don’t put on airs, so they all want to come over and serve you. Now, they’re drawing lots. They can only come if they win. 1 will be your steward from now on. Young Master, you don’t mind, right?”
Ye Jingtang looked at the beautiful and cute Xiuhe, who was as happy as a new official taking office, and found it funny. “How could I mind? But if you run here, what will happen to Third Lady?”
Xiuhe sat down in front of him and said proudly, “Those who are capable will work harder.I’ll run back and forth for now and wait for Third Lady to move in…”
“Xiuhe!” Pei Xiangjun raised her eyes and looked at Xiuhe, as if she was preparing to clean up the family.
Xiuhe blinked. She knew that she had misspoken. She put down her fan and stood up. “Then… I’ll go outside and take a look. Young Master, have a pleasant chat.” With that, she ran away.
Ye Jingtang picked up his fan and fanned Third Lady, who was sitting sideways on the stone stool. He looked up and sized her up. Third Lady was wearing red lipstick, and her hair was combed meticulously. There was even the bird and flowers hairpin he had given her. Although she looked very serious as she buried her head in the accounts, her eyes glanced at him from time to time before quickly looking away. It was obvious that she had something on her mind.Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\
Ye Jingtang looked around the garden. “The house is too big. It’s strange to have so few people living here. Third Lady, why don’t you live here too?”
Pei Xiangjun’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as she glanced at Ye Jingtang. She didn’t understand what he meant and felt a little complicated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLast night, she had fallen naked into Jingtang’s arms and even sat on his face. Although she was embarrassed, she still understood and treated it as an accident.
But before she fell, she and the vixen had been talking about very private things. They had said everything they should and shouldn’t have said. Jingtang must have heard everything…
This was no different from confessing her feelings to Jingtang in person…
Jingtang is asking me to live here… Pei Xiangjun glanced at Ye Jingtang a few times, lowered her head to look at the account book, and said unhurriedly, “I’m the young lady of the Pei family. It’s not appropriate for me to live outside… But you’re often not at home. It’s impossible for no one to care about such a big house. I’ll discuss it with your aunt. If she arranges it like this, I’ll come over. If your aunt doesn’t agree, I’ll just get Xiuhe to come over and help take care of it.”
Ye Jingtang smiled and nodded. “Third Lady, you have to tell my aunt well. I used to live in Liang Province, and my courtyard wasn’t as big as the stable here. I don’t have any maidservants and don’t know how to manage the household. Third Lady, if you don’t live here and leave me in charge, the maidservants who come to help will probably be outrageous and sneak into my room at night.”
Pei Xiangjun knew that this was the truth. Xiuhe was much bolder than her. If she let Xiuhe sleep next door to Ye Jingtang, within three days, she would definitely perform the drama of ‘sleepwalking’ into the wrong bed. “Got it. This house doesn’t need to be cleaned up to begin with. You can start living here after moving your daily items over. Go look around. I’m busy.”
Ye Jingtang chuckled and didn’t disturb Third Lady.. He got up and brought the bird to look at their new nest…
