"Elder sister might not be able to go!" Yun Jinnian said earnestly.
"Why? I will protect you, elder sister. I study hard, I’ll protect you. Come with us, alright?" Yun He said earnestly.
"Sure, but you must be capable enough to protect me, then I’ll go with you!"
Really doesn’t like how Yun Jinnian treats those three little brats so well.
They’re not even her real brothers, why be so nice?
She saw Yun Zuomo and the others looking at Yun Jinnian with admiration as well, then turned away to talk to Yun Musi and Yun Mulan.
Yun Musi and Yun Mulan didn’t have half-brothers or half-sisters, nor did they like the half-brothers and three half-sisters from the second branch.
They didn’t want to engage with them either.
So they talked with Xu Xinmo, ignoring Yun Jinnian and the others.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Princess Residence, and Mama Qian led Dengzi and others to wait at the entrance.
"Servant greets the Commandery Princess!"
Yun Jinnian looked at Mama Qian, smiled, "No need for such formalities!"
No matter what the Emperor had in mind, Mama Qian and the guards indeed had real skills. She wouldn’t be foolish to push them away.
"Commandery Princess, please come in!" Mama Qian said.
"Mama Qian, you have worked hard all these years!"
"It’s what I should do as a servant!"
Initially, Mama Qian had been a bit worried, fearing Yun Jinnian might give her a hard time, but to her surprise, Yun Jinnian was so amiable.
But thinking about it, Yun Jinnian wasn’t a harsh person.
"The residence is very clean and refreshing!" Yun Jinnian praised as they walked.
"Some items already existed here, so I took the liberty to rearrange them. Some of the less good ones are stored in the warehouse. You can take the ledger back to check, Commandery Princess!"
"I trust Mama Qian’s work, and Mama Qian has done very well!"
"Thank you for the praise, Commandery Princess!"
"Mama Qian, is there lunch available now in the residence?"
"Yes, Commandery Princess. If you want to order some dishes, I can have someone buy them immediately. There’s still time!"
"Then have someone buy some items. It’s the first time my younger siblings are visiting my residence, I’ll take them around!"
"Shall I leave someone to guide you, Commandery Princess?"
Mama Qian left someone behind to guide them and went to handle things. The person left was also very smart, introducing things to Yun Jinnian earnestly along the way.
This Princess Residence is very large, with many courtyards. The previous owner must have been quite wealthy; the layout is excellent, and every courtyard has many rare flowers and trees.
If it were really torn down and the flowers sold, it would still fetch a considerable sum.
"Elder sister, can we go play by ourselves?" Xu Xinmo asked.
"You may, but be sure to stay safe. It’s also my first time here, so don’t wander too far!"
"We understand, elder sister!"
Xu Xinmo was incredibly jealous inside.
They had walked half a day, and it seemed that they hadn’t even seen half of it.
If only this residence were hers, wouldn’t that be wonderful?
Xu Xinmo took Yun Musi and Yun Mulan in another direction, while Yun Jinnian glanced into the shadows, knowing someone was following them.
Yun Jinnian then took Yun Zuomo and the others towards the garden.
"The garden has many varieties of peonies. When they bloom, Commandery Princess must stay for a few days!"
"Are there peonies in the garden?"
"Are they planted in the ground or in pots?"
If they’re in pots, they could be moved into the greenhouse, and might bloom earlier!
