The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

Since Lin Xile had already made the decision, Li Qingyi thought about it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he nodded and agreed.

As for what Lin Xile said about borrowing manpower and resources, it was not an important matter for Li Qingyi.

In this way, Lin Xile's problem was solved.

——————————————————————————————

Chen Mansion in the capital.

As it was getting dark, the doorman heard the sound of horse hooves approaching. He leaned over to take a look, and after recognizing it was his own carriage, he immediately asked someone to open the door.

After a while, a low-key-looking carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Chen's house, and a woman in a goose yellow dress and a blue shawl got out of the carriage.

Everyone at the door saluted quickly: "Madam."

Wang Xuan waved her hand, signaling them not to be polite and to do what they were supposed to do. She glanced at the housekeeper who came out to greet them, and walked into the mansion, asking, "Is your master back?"

The Chen Mansion is the residence of Chen Qicong. Although after the couple got married, anyone with eyes could see that Wang Xuan was not the kind of woman who would depend on her husband's family after marriage, there were always those who were short-sighted and felt that Wang Xuan became a member of the Chen family after marrying into the Chen family.

Including the properties under Wang Xuan's name, they were also labeled as belonging to the Chen family.

But in fact, this is not the case. The two are husband and wife as well as business partners. There is cooperation and competition. Each of them has a bottom line and will not allow anyone else to cross this bottom line.

There were people in the Chen family who wanted to take advantage of their marriage to interfere in Wang Xuan's business, but Wang Xuan usually didn't play any tricks on these people and just left it to Chen Qicong to handle.

If Chen Qicong can't handle it well, it's fine. They can divorce. If the feelings are still there, they can continue dating. If not, they can just break up.

Wang Xuan saw this very clearly. She would never give her career to Chen Qicong just because of marriage.

Fortunately, Chen Qicong didn't have such an idea. What they did was public, and what they did was private.

Outsiders may still be confused, but dozens of people in the Chen Mansion are very clear about it, especially the housekeeper appointed by Chen Qicong, who knows everything very well and treats the two masters equally without distinguishing between the two.

He is Chen Qicong's man, not a member of the Chen family.

Hearing Wang Xuan's question, the middle-aged butler bowed slightly and replied with a faint smile: "The master has been back for half an hour. It was the master who calculated the time just now and asked me to wait for you at the door."

Wang Xuan raised her eyebrows: "Where are the others?"

The housekeeper replied with a smile: "The master should be cleaning up the things he brought back today."

Today Chen Qicong came back earlier than usual. As the couple each has their own careers to take care of, their daily pace may not be the same, but they will basically try their best to get home on time in the evening to have dinner together.

Therefore, the working time of the two will be controlled. As a housekeeper, he will definitely be able to figure out the pattern.

Chen Qicong came back early today and brought back two carts of things. After having people move them to the main courtyard, he did not let anyone else interfere, but sorted them out himself. He is probably still working on those things now.

The housekeeper guessed that there might be a gift prepared for Wang Xuan, otherwise Chen Qicong would not attach so much importance to it.

He had this guess, and Wang Xuan had a similar idea. Her eyes flickered, her lips curled slightly, and she smiled, "In the main courtyard?"

The butler nodded.

Wang Xuan understood, so it didn’t matter.

When the housekeeper saw Wang Xuan change her destination and was obviously going to the main courtyard, he knew that she was going to look for Chen Qicong.

So he asked, "Where do you think it would be best to arrange dinner today?"

Wang Xuan waved her hand: "Let's just put it in the main courtyard."

Butler: "Yes, I will arrange it right away."

These two masters were not the type who needed servants to follow them all the time, and the butler understood their habits, so he was now preparing to arrange dinner for them.

When Wang Xuan arrived at the main courtyard, she saw two wooden boxes placed in the corner of the yard. They looked like they had been opened. She guessed that Chen Qicong had opened them and then closed them again, planning to find another place to put them later.

Chen Qicong was not in the yard, and the light in the main room was on, so she went straight into the room. When she raised her eyes, she saw the man walking towards her. Before she spoke, she could not help but smile, and her eyes unconsciously became gentle and affectionate.

"You're back." When Chen Qicong saw her, his expressionless face suddenly became lively, with love evident in his eyes. He moved forward and hugged her waist involuntarily: "It's been another hard day today. Did you encounter any troubles?"

Wang Xuan put her hands on his shoulders, raised her head slightly and looked at the man, and said with a smile: "There are always troubles. Unless I stop working, there will be troubles every day. You know that."

"But the situation in the north has already been planned. If everything goes well, there will be a result by the end of this year." Wang Xuan said this, but she noticed some major changes in the furnishings in the house where the couple lived. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did you change the furnishings?"

Chen Qicong nodded: "Didn't you say some time ago that you wanted to redesign our room, but you didn't have the time? I found some time to do it. I remember that you liked this style when playing games. Now that I have the conditions, I asked someone to make a batch of decorations. I didn't move the big pieces. What do you think?"

Wang Xuan's eyes sparkled as she nodded: "It's great, it makes me feel good just looking at it, it feels like moving into a new home!"

Chen Qicong lowered his head and nuzzled her affectionately. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Xuan said, "By the way, I received news today that they will be back in about three days. Do you think we should prepare anything?"

Chen Qicong paused, then quickly understood what Wang Xuan meant, and hesitated: "Have you told her yet?"

Hearing this, Wang Xuan's expression changed slightly, and finally settled on helplessness: "With the teacher's personality, I don't think she would keep it a secret for long. I can hardly remember what happened at that time, and I didn't have a good relationship with her, so I don't know her very well."

"Although I also think that the teacher is sometimes too careless, even if it is... he shouldn't trust us so easily. But when I think about how the teacher treated us in the past, it doesn't seem right to say this now."

Wang Xuan said, leaning on Chen Qicong's shoulder and sighing softly: "I just hope that the newcomer will not let down the teacher's trust."

From the beginning to the end, Wang Xuan never thought that people who came from the same place as her were necessarily friends, nor were they necessarily good people.

Even so, the compatriots they have met so far seem to be friendly forces, and they are helping each other.
