"How dare you hit me!" The side of his face that was hit was burning with pain. Jia Wangcai covered his face and angrily ordered his followers: "Beat her! No matter if she lives or dies! Especially this little bitch, don't let me beat her to death! Leave her alive, I want her to be unable to live or die!"

The followers behind him immediately rushed forward aggressively.

Lu Ke'er clenched her hands that were hanging at her sides into fists.

But before she could make any move, Zuo Yi in front of her suddenly moved.

She only felt a gust of wind blowing through the yard, and then all the followers brought by Jia Wangcai fell to the ground, wailing.

Each person's thigh was stabbed with a sword, the wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and blood was dripping.

And Zuo Yi returned to his original position in an instant, with even his sword sheathed, as if it had never moved.

Lu Ke'er opened her almond-shaped eyes wide and looked at him with admiration.

What an expert.

The guards she casually hired were all martial arts masters.

Did you make a profit?

Lu Ke'er suddenly felt that the five taels of commission she gave to Zuo Yi every month seemed not enough.

Jia Wangcai was stunned.

He was shocked and angry, staring at the expressionless Zuo Yi, and a chill ran through his heart.

He knew that he had hit a wall.

"Well, you are very good! You even dared to hurt people from my Jia family!" Jia Wangcai wanted to curse again, but when he saw the cruel look from Zuo Yi, he shuddered.

"I'll give you a few more hours. Move out immediately before dark today!" he shouted in a cowardly manner.

"What? Are you going to kick us out today?" Chou Ya's face turned pale. "Where are we going to live then?"

"Where you live is none of my business. This is my house! Even if I tell you to get out now, you have to get out!" The more Jia Wangcai thought about it, the more confident he became, and the more arrogant his attitude became. "I can give you a few hours to sort out your junk, which is already the most I can do!"

Lu Ke'er was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Get out!" she shouted, pointing outside the door.

"Let's wait and see!" Jia Wangcai glared at her fiercely, then walked away dejectedly with his group of wounded men.

Chou Ya cried: "Miss, what should we do?"

"Yes, miss, we have no home, what should we do?" Several young children also cried.

Lu Ke'er said seriously, "Don't worry, pack your things first. Qiuyu, you help. Zuoyi, go rent a carriage and move the things."

In fact, there was nothing valuable in the shabby house. But Lu Keer knew that no matter how worthless something was, it was accumulated day by day by everyone and was full of emotions. It was not something that could be thrown away just like that.

Sure enough, the child asked: "Can I take my little pillow away? Although it is very torn, it is the first time I learned needlework from Sister Chouya to sew it myself."

The child asked: "I made a ceramic bowl myself, and I want to take it away."

The children expressed their wishes one after another.

Lu Ke'er said straightforwardly: "Okay, you can take whatever you like and need."

Ye Feng winked at Zuo Yi when he set out to rent a carriage.

Zuo Yixin understood what he meant and left.

An hour later, everyone had packed up all their belongings and loaded them onto the rented carriage.

"Miss, where are we moving to?" Shi Chenxing asked her.

"There must be houses for rent in Jinji Town. We can drive around and look for them. If we find a suitable one, we can rent it."

As he was speaking, Rong Zhixing arrived.

"I heard you are planning to move?" he asked as he entered the door.

"You are well-informed." Lu Ke'er said with a smile, "We have packed up and are preparing to leave."

"Jinji Town is only this big." Rong Zhixing glanced at Ye Feng and nodded, with a hint of respect in his eyes that Lu Ke'er didn't notice, "So Master Xiao is here too."

"Why did Master Rong come here in person?" Ye Feng asked in a deep voice.

He hinted to Zuo Yi that he should look for a house while renting a carriage, but he didn't expect Zuo Yi to go find Rong Zhixing.

I didn’t expect Rong Zhixing to come in person.

But on second thought, if he were here, Rong Zhixing would definitely go there in person.

"You haven't found a new place to live yet, right?" Rong Zhixing asked Shi Chenxing sideways.

Shi Chenxing shook his head: "I am discussing this with the young lady."

"That's a coincidence." Rong Zhixing smiled. "I once bought a courtyard in Jinji Town, right on Linhe Street. It's empty now and no one lives there. The courtyard isn't very big, but it has about ten rooms and is fully furnished. You can go there and live there for the time being."

Shi Chenxing opened his mouth slightly, as if he had not expected that the problem that had been bothering them would be solved so quickly.

He looked at Lu Ke'er.

Lu Ke'er was also stunned, and then a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"That's great." She said happily, "I'll rent it from you."

"That's not necessary." Rong Zhixing saw her brows relax, and his mood became cheerful, with a smile in his eyes, "It's not good for the house to be empty for a long time. It's just right for Chenxing and his friends to move in and help me gather popularity. You don't have to pay me rent, I'll just lend it to them."

"This..." Lu Ke'er hesitated.

"Miss Lu, I'm not a stranger either, you don't have to be polite to me."

Lu Ke'er sighed helplessly and nodded, "Okay then, thank you. Chenxing, you should also thank Master Rong."

"Thank you, Mr. Rong!" The children thanked in unison.

They were familiar with Rong Zhixing and knew that he was Lu Keer's friend.

After they started selling candied haws, Rong Zhixing once made a special trip to visit them.

At that time, he was very interested in candied haws and said that he was ready to cooperate with Miss Lu to make candy together.

………………

Before dark, Shi Chenxing and his friends moved into their new home.

Lu Ke'er saw that the new house was almost 80% new, with a courtyard with gray tiles and white walls.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will see a screen wall with a picture of a welcoming pine tree. Behind the screen wall is a courtyard with houses built around it, forming a quadrangle.

Lu Ke'er nodded secretly.

This courtyard faces south and has plenty of sunlight. The interior is dry and bright, making it very suitable for living. The neighbors around are all well-off people, which is completely different from the dirty and chaotic environment of the old house.

She half-jokingly said to Rong Zhixing: "Your house is nice. Whenever you want to sell it, come to me."

"You want to buy?"

"Yeah." Lu Ke'er liked this courtyard very much. "This house is very nice. It's hard not to be moved."

"If you want it, I'll give it to you." Rong Zhixing blurted out.

Lu Ke'er was stunned when she heard this.

Ye Feng was also stunned, and his eyes darkened slightly when he looked at Rong Zhixing.

"How can I be so embarrassed?" Lu Ke'er waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't take it from you for nothing."

"It's just a house. It's not worth much..."

"It's not a question of whether it's worth money or not." Lu Ke'er said sternly, "Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Our friendship is friendship, but we still have to settle the things that need to be settled."
