"I can help you comb your hair!" Bai Sasa was beaming with joy.
An eight-year-old child helping to comb hair? That seemed a bit unreliable, didn’t it? She better not pluck out all her hair.
"Don’t worry, big sister, I’m really good at it." Bai Sasa assured her earnestly, patting her shoulder.
What could Bai Junjun do? She could only half laugh and half cry as she agreed.
The sisters chatted on and off until they went to sleep deep into the night.
Meanwhile, Bai Lingyu begged Li Wenli to let him sleep with Ah Dao and the others, wanting to join the boys for some fun.
Li Wenli smirked and readily packaged Bai Lingyu off to Ah Dao.
He then enjoyed a big bed all to himself.
"..." Bai Lingyu burst into tears.
Ah Dao had no choice but to dutifully look after the little tyrant, playing a couple of rounds of flying chess with him before Bai Lingyu’s tears stopped.
After nearly a month of travel, they could finally settle down, and everyone slept very soundly that night.
The very next morning, while everyone was still in their slumber, visitors arrived at their door.
Groggy-eyed, they went outside, only to see a group of craftsmen anxiously looking at Bai Residence.
These craftsmen had been sent by Yuwen Luanfei to repair their house.
The sudden visit from these craftsmen meant Bai Sasa’s plan to comb Bai Junjun’s hair had to be abandoned.
Bai Junjun casually tied her hair into a bun, showing off her perfect oval face and graceful neck, which made her look exceptionally elegant.
Bai Sasa mimicked her and also put her hair up into a little bun.
Bai Junjun found it amusing and casually fixed one of yesterday’s hairpins into Bai Sasa’s hair.
After getting ready, they hurried out the door—there was no time to fuss over their looks.
As for the craftsmen, they were too preoccupied with dread upon arriving at the reputedly haunted house to admire any beauties.
After all, the "haunting of Bai Residence" was a well-known tale.
Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to walk this way on a regular day.
Who would have thought that one day they would receive a royal command to repair a haunted house?
The craftsmen complained endlessly, but what say did the lowest of craftsmen have?
Once the imperial command was issued, everyone had to obediently come over.
Now, they surveyed the large mansion fearfully, their eyes spinning around the dilapidated estate, the more they looked, the more they sighed.
To repair it to its former state would take at least ten days to half a month.
Yet, the thought of staying in this haunted house for ten days to half a month was frightening.
Li Wenli noticed everyone’s worry and couldn’t help but laugh, "Gentlemen, rest assured, this is by no means a haunted house, and we also live here. Even if there were spirits, they would find us first, not you."
"..." The craftsmen, upon hearing this far-fetched reassurance, didn’t know what to say.
However, they felt a little embarrassed that their fears were seen through by these young folks.
The craftsmen, feeling sheepish, said no more and rolled up their sleeves to get to work.
Seeing everyone eager to finish work early and clock out, Bai Junjun made no difficulties and directly stated her requirements.
There were only two priority areas for repairs: the kitchen and the main gate.
As for the other areas, it didn’t matter whether they were fixed or not.
Upon hearing this, the craftsmen were overjoyed. The kitchen and the main gate were easy tasks!
If fast, the work could be done in just three to five days!
They immediately divided into two groups to survey the site.
Seeing everyone working without wasting a word, Bai Junjun was quite moved.
It was because of such hard-working and selfless people that so many architectural treasures and masterpieces existed!
Just yesterday, the sight of Bai Junjun bringing a host of gifts from The Celestial Family into Bai Residence had already caught the attention of the common folk in the Imperial Capital.
