Lin Xuan Qi was happy and glad at what he saw when he got back to the mansion.

"Thanks for all the hard work," he said to the servant girls sitting at the pavilion.

Xue Cong quickly added, "The other servants worked hard too."

She glanced over to the servants resting under the trees, and they gave Lin Xuan Qi a nod with a smile.

Lin Xuan Qi returned their gesture with a nod.

"Sister Liu Shi Shi also helped out," Yue Jie chimed in, making sure that Liu Shi Shi's contribution wouldn't be forgotten.

Lin Xuan Qi glanced at her with a surprised look.

That made Liu Shi Shi twitch her lips and cross her arms on her chest.

Maybe she should let the men leave with their carts of fish.

"What's with that expression? I bought the fish to be put into the pond.

"I'll ask them to leave if you aren't pleased with it."

Finally, she spoke to clarify herself.

"Thanks!" Lin Xuan Qi said and quickly walked over to the men with their water carts, who were waiting for the sediment to settle in the pond.

He wasn't sure how Liu Shi Shi would react to the news of him taking Xue Cong and Yue Jie as his wife and concubine.

So, it's better for him to speak with her alone, preferably later at night.

He was excited when he peered into the water carts and saw the fish thrashing actively inside.

"Master, these fish are the finest and biggest you can get in Hong Feng City," one of the men came up to him and said.

There were different varieties of carps, eels, catfish, and even crabs.

Lin Xuan Qi's face was filled with a smile at the thought of enjoying his time fishing by the pond.

He had a garden, pond, servant girls and soon, a wife and concubine.

Life as a young master was just getting started.

"The water is clear. We can put these fish in now," one of the men inspected the water and shouted.

The men started to push the water carts to the side of the pond and began to put in all the fishes they had inside.

Splash.

The water splashing while the fish was put into the pond was music to Lin Xuan Qi's ears.

He walked back to the pavilion with a huge smile.

Liu Shi Shi saw the happiness from him and thought that maybe it was worth it after all.

It was a feeling she had never felt before.

Being happy and content for someone being pleased with you was surreal to her.

But it somehow made her feel that she wanted more of it.

Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin were also glad.

They too felt the same happiness.

"Master Lin, have a seat," Xue Cong stood up from her seat and poured a cup for Lin Xuan Qi.

The other servant girls also quickly stood.

Lin Xuan Qi sat at the table in the pavilion, shook his head at them and gestured for them to join him.

The view would be much nicer with pretty girls enjoying it with him.

Yue Xin skipped to her seat and was the first one to sit back down again.

"I knew you would want us to be with you," she said while she took a sip from her teacup.

Yue Jie who was sitting back down shook her head at her sister and said, "That's not how you speak to Master Lin."

Lin Xuan Qi nodded and said, "Yue Xin, I hope you do remember what I usually do when I'm happy."

Yue Xin nearly spat out the tea in her mouth, and she glanced over at Xue Cong for help.

But it was to no avail.

Xue Cong was equally fearful of the prospect of having math lessons.

"Relax, I'm just kidding. Best for me to enjoy the view," Lin Xuan Qi said and glanced at the garden in front of him.

He was itching to have a go at the fish in the pond, but he didn't have any fishing rod.

What a tragedy.

It's like being the only guy in a country of women but you are a monk.

He had to make do with the view for now.

However, it didn't take long for better things to happen.

"Master Lin, here, have some snacks," Auntie Sue was done with the dishes for the men delivering those fish, but they had already left.

"Thanks. Just what we need at the right time," Lin Xuan Qi picked up one of the fried anchovies and put it into his mouth.

The aroma from the oil and fish filled his mouth immediately when he munched on the crispy and fragrant anchovy.

He chased it with a mouthful of tea and its sweet aftertaste took over from the oil, clearing any excessive greasy feeling in his mouth.

The breeze blew and the plants and flowers in the garden swayed.

However, they still paled in comparison with the looks of Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi.

Xue Cong still had some of the demure look, but she also had more of a determined look now.

Next to her, Yue Jie, was looking just as caring. And her voluptuous bosom still stood out from the rest.

Yue Xin was younger, and that playfulness and mischievous nature could still be seen in her.

Her little actions like skipping, being more adventurous, and daring was different to Yue Jie.

Lastly, Liu Shi Shi's prideful and sometimes spiteful nature had given him much joy when he was able to tease her and win.

Not to mention, her long and slender legs were also a sight to behold.

Lin Xuan Qi couldn't help but give out a sigh with content.

Having such beauties and scenery in front of him, there was nothing more a man could ask for.

Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi kept quiet and enjoyed the precious moment of peace and tranquility with him.

It went on for an incense worth of time before he was disrupted.

"Master Lin," a guard came rushing into the garden.
