Xue Cong poured Lin Xuan Qi a cup of tea, while Yue Jie was ready to take down any notes if required.

"I need you to help relocate your parents, Ah Di and yourself out of the workers' quarters.

"There are rooms next to my bedroom which are more spacious and appropriate for them.

"As for you, stay in one of those rooms for the time being." Lin Xuan Qi glanced at Xue Cong and said.

"Yes, Master Lin. I will get it done by today." Xue Cong nodded and replied.

He didn't want words to spread around that the bride was already staying with him before the marriage.

It was, after all, a taboo in the Da Qian Dynasty.

"Same thing for you and Yue Xin." He glanced over at Yue Jie and said.

"Yes, Master Lin." Yue Jie was happy that he wanted to move Yue Xin too.

It would feel terribly awkward for her if she moved somewhere better while her sister was still living in the workers' quarters.

She was unaware of it but Lin Xuan Qi had his considerations for taking in Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi as his concubines next, after he had settled in with Xue Cong and Yue Jie.

After Lin Xuan Qi picked up his teacup and had a sip of the tea, he continued and said to Yue Jie, "I will try and get your father to come to the wedding as best as I can.

"As for him staying inside the mansion, it might be tough for me to do so.

"There are eyes around and someone might report to the authorities if they found out."

He explained his rationale to Yue Jie, and she nodded her head.

For her, Lin Xuan Qi had done more than enough for them.

She wouldn't want to jeopardize him and everyone else inside the mansion just so that she and Yue Xin could have their father with them.

"Master Lin will try his best. Your father shall be fine." Xue Cong patted Yue Jie on the back and consoled her.

Taking on the role of the mistress of the household.

"Thanks, sister Xue Cong." Yue Jie thanked her and was glad to have Xue Cong as the wife of Lin Xuan Qi.

If it was someone else, they would've seen her as competition and tried to make life difficult for her in the mansion.

When Lin Xuan Qi saw that their relationship was still cordial with each other, he was pleased with it.

He had enough headaches on his own, and he certainly didn't want more headaches from his future wife and concubines.

"Then, I shall leave you two to it." He stood up and left the main hall.

Lin Xuan Qi wanted to teach Zhi Yong and Lee He Song the practice stances of the Daoist Five-Element Cultivation Techniques.

So, he left and went looking for them.

Xue Cong and Yue Jie wanted to leave and execute what he had wanted them to do, but they were stopped before they could do so.

"Sister, so what happened when Madam Sai brought you to Xue Cong's room?"

"Sister Xue Cong, don't be shy, tell me."

Yue Xin was all excited about what had happened, and she was eager to find out.

Yue Jie rolled her eyes at Yue Xin and said, "It's not something that you should know. Wait till it's your big day to find out."

"Hmph. I think you are trying to keep the good stuff to yourself." Yue Xin said and sulked.

She thought that Yue Jie could share more about what a man and woman could do, so that she could be more prepared for Lin Xuan Qi when the time came.

And since her sister didn't want to share the knowledge, Yue Xin went over to Xue Cong and asked her instead.

"Sister Xue Cong, tell me please." She gave Xue Cong the biggest smile she could muster, but Xue Cong also shook her head.

"I... I think your sister is right..."

Yue Xin took a step back, glanced at both of them, gave out a sigh and said, "You aren't married yet and you are already teaming up together."

Yue Jie rolled her eyes at Yue Xin again.

What an accusation, she thought.

They'd always done the same thing.

And since Yue Xin was accusing them of it, they might as well do so.

"Sister Xue Cong, get ready." Yue Jie pushed up her sleeves and got ready to tackle Yue Xin.

Xue Cong nodded her head and did the same thing.

"I think I forgot to boil the water... so excuse me for now."

When she saw them approaching her, Yue Xin gave an excuse, turned around, and quickly ran off.

"Stop! I need you to move out of the workers' quarters!" Yue Jie chased after her and said.

Xue Cong shook her head and gave out a smile.

Maybe Master Lin was right.

Some things wouldn't change.

...

Inside the lab.

Cough.

Lin Xuan Qi covered his mouth with a piece of cloth and gave out a cough.

The dust was all over in the air.

Zhi Yong, who was beside him, wasn't faring any better.

He was coughing and sneezing at the same time.

Lee He Song was asked by Lin Xuan Qi not to enter the lab first, fearing for his health.

They had come to the lab and tried to clear it up.

It was a long time ago that Lin Xuan Qi had come here after figuring out the process of making soap and there was dust covered all over the place.

He planned to make use of the lab to figure out the process for his improvised MSG soon and also to teach Zhi Yong and Lee He Song the Daoist Five-Element Cultivation Techniques.

The servants and guards were briefed that no one should come near the lab, so it was safe for him to do so in it.

"Master Lin, rest. Me work." Zhi Yong tried to stop him from clearing up the lab again.

He had tried to do so, but Lin Xuan Qi refused earlier.
