For others, moving house might be quite a troublesome and time-consuming task.

But this doesn't apply to Li Yuan.

Yan Yu said to bring along the flowers planted in the backyard, and that apricot blossom tree, only then did the cart's cargo compartment feel slightly cramped.

Red Steel and Blue Steel had initially come excitedly to help with the move, but now they didn't dare look much, fearing that Li Yuan might mistakenly read from their eyes words like "how come so poor".

"That's all, thanks to both of you." Li Yuan clapped his hands.

On the other side, Lady Yan was linking arms with her best friend, the boss lady, watching together.

The boss lady whispered softly into Lady Yan's ear, "Eldest Granny Yan, let Young Master Li tell the Inner City that I will arrange for a cart to bring some essential items to your house tomorrow."

Lady Yan glanced at the boss lady beside her.

She was slightly shorter, more petite, a bit more intellectual, whereas the boss lady appeared taller, more voluptuous, and understanding.

To put it bluntly, she had more flesh, a bigger body, and longer legs...

"What are you looking at, Eldest Granny Yan?" the boss lady asked softly.

Lady Yan smiled, "Looking at the pretty sister."

The boss lady's face immediately lit up with a smile, waved her hand saying, "You're naughty," then added, "How could Eldest Granny Yan not be beautiful? Eldest Granny Yan is well-known."

"Ah? I'm famous?"

"Outside, everyone quietly says Eldest Granny Yan is as beautiful as a fairy and manages her husband well, which makes Young Master Li devoted, even only bringing an old maid at home."

Lady Yan giggled, unable to stop.

The boss lady, seeing her laugh for so long, asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

Lady Yan tiptoed slightly, whispering in the boss lady's ear.

From a distance, Li Yuan faintly heard words like "night", "eating alone...", "too... strength, crude person", and shouted, "Sister Yan, we should go, it's getting dark."

Yan Yu waved her hand, "Oh, husband, don't rush. Sister Xue and I are planning to send some more furniture to our new home tomorrow."

Li Yuan turned his head to look at the boss lady.

The boss lady openly nodded slightly towards him, her pretty face showing a touch of red, a smile, and a hint of shy charm.

Li Yuan was momentarily dazed, then looked at Yan Yu, seeing Lady Yan also smiling.

He smiled too, saying, "Alright, then I'll trouble Sister Xue."

Upon hearing the term "Sister Xue", the boss lady hastily said, "Young Master Li..."

But then suddenly paused, not dwelling on the title, but said, "Then... tomorrow afternoon at the end of the hour, I'll arrange for the cart to be at the city gate.

Please inform Young Master Li and the Inner City officials, so the cart can enter..."

"Alright, no problem."

After Li Yuan spoke, the atmosphere suddenly became a bit silent.

The boss lady lowered her head slightly, only seeing her plump chest heaving a bit.

Then Lady Yan released her hand, saying, "Sister Xue, see you tomorrow."

The boss lady then looked up and said, "See you tomorrow."

Li Yuan led Yan Yu onto the cart, Red Steel, and Blue Steel drove back, and upon reaching the Inner City, Li Yuan immediately presented his identity plaque. The cold guards at the city gate looked at the plaque, then at Li Yuan, only then did they let him pass.

Red Steel and Blue Steel drove through the south gate, turned east, and quickly arrived in front of a luxurious house. The keys and such had already been respectfully placed on the table inside.

Two maids from Zhao Chunxin's family moved the items down, while Aunt Wang took two kids to organize the house.

But the house was already cleaned up when handed over, even the wooden bed, wooden wardrobe, wooden table, and wooden chairs appeared new.

After working until nearly the second watch of the night, everything was in order, even the apricot blossom tree was planted in new soil.

After the two maids bid farewell, Li Yuan led Lady Yan, Aunt Wang, and the two little ones around the new house.

This new house, numbered "38", is located in the southeast direction of the Inner City.

To the east, it leans against Silver Creek, and a few steps out the door leads to the lakeside, where at night, the lake wind mingles with moisture, bringing a unique comfort, making one feel at ease.

Not far to the south, passing through the vacant houses numbered "41" and "42", you can exit the south gate and head to Silver Creek Town, which is very convenient.

And the house is divided into three courtyards.

The outer courtyard, the inner hall, and a women's courtyard.

The outer courtyard has a large guest tower, a dining hall, a martial arts ground, and some adjacent rooms near the door that seem like they are for the nursing home staff to live in.

The inner hall features garden scenes, with flowerbeds, rockeries, a study, and two empty rooms, obviously with functions depending on the owner.

The women's quarters were quite elegant, with a loft in the center where the master and his wife lived, and on the east and west sides were rows of rooms similar to those in the front courtyard, but here they were for the maids and relatives to reside.

"Such a big mansion. With just the few of us living here, it feels too empty," Lady Yan couldn't help but sigh, her eyes wandering around, only to see that the rooms were empty everywhere.

The night wind blew through the holes in the rockery, the cracks in the doors and windows, the branches of the trees, making eerie "woo-woo" sounds...

Moonlight penetrated through the window crevices, casting its bright glow or the shadow of the trees on high onto the open door, swaying, which made the mansion seem even more cold and desolate, lacking human presence.

At this point, it was no longer a matter of whether or not to have maids, but that they were absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, the house would feel too empty, too empty...

The luxurious residence would turn into a frightening haunted house.

Without waiting for Li Yuan to speak, Lady Yan said, "Husband, let's buy some maids."

This time, Li Yuan did not object, but said, "You buy them."

Lady Yan said, "You buy them..."

Aunt Wang, beside them, said, "Master, Madam, I'll... go boil some water."

Li Yuan said, "Yes, Aunt Wang, go. Later, you and Xiaosheng and Niuniu can choose a room to live in the west wing of the women's quarters, whichever room you like."

Aunt Wang said, "Yes, Master..."

Seeing her so reserved, Li Yuan teased, "Aunt Wang, this place is quite large, and it might be inconvenient to go out to buy groceries in the future. Try to adapt and don't be uncomfortable."

Aunt Wang quickly said, "Master, no, no, no, I'm not uncomfortable, it's just... just...

To be honest, I... I feel like I'm dreaming.

I never thought I could live in such a house, in such a place..."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "You've been with Sister Yan for a long time and came from the same place.

In the future, if new maids are a bit reserved, that's normal, but why are you reserved?

Treat this place as your home."

Aunt Wang pulled the two little ones down to their knees and said, "Thank you, Master, thank you, Madam..."

Before, in the shanty town, it was her "gratitude and sense of responsibility" that made her place herself as a servant. Now, in this big house, seeing Li Yuan's status rise, she was sincerely determined to be a loyal servant.

Li Yuan helped the three up and asked, "Does Aunt Wang have any plans for Xiaosheng and Niuniu?"

Aunt Wang said, "They will naturally stay with me and serve the Master and Madame for a lifetime."

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I want them to practice martial arts.

Sister Yan, when you have time, teach the cultivation skill to these two children, and let them eat more meat usually, so they can train."

Aunt Wang again thanked him with the children.

After a while...

Only Li Yuan and Yan Yu were left here.

The two sat in the vast courtyard of the luxurious mansion, with the rooms all around dark and a bit scary.

Lady Yan moved onto the man's lap, cuddled up to his chest like a little bird, looked at the moon in the sky, and said, "Husband, should we find another woman?"

"Why did you suddenly say this?"

"I'm afraid I can't satisfy you alone, and... you're Young Master Li, how can a master have only one woman?"

"Sister Yan, don't be angry when I say this."

"You're really good to me..."

"If I really wanted a woman, wouldn't calling a maid be enough?"

"Oh..." Yan Yu rolled her eyes, a bit angrily, and said, "Are you planning to fill the west wing with maids and have them sleep with you every day?"

"It's not that..."

Yan Yu fell silent, as if she was sulking.

Li Yuan held her and whispered sweet nothings in her ear. Lady Yan finally giggled again, then turned around, wrapped her arms around his neck, and suddenly said softly, "What about my best friend?"

"The proprietress?"

"Yes, if you take her, it's equivalent to taking over all her family businesses. Then, whether husband wants to make money to buy items or explore paths and channels outside the county, you will have your own influence.

She knew you before you rose to fame, and she's been alone, persevering for so long. If you take her, given your skills, won't she be happy? Won't she be wholeheartedly devoted to you?

The most important thing is, my best friend..."

The voices grew softer, and laughter from a man and woman echoed in the courtyard, while the wind shyly refrained from listening to these shameless words.
