You confiscated my property, I exiled you, why are you crying when the treasury is empty?

Lu Jingtong gave Zhan Beiwang a blank look and returned to the yard.

"Aning, I..." Zhan Beiwang hesitated to speak.

Su Wanning nodded, "Yes, I'm listening."

Zhan Beiwang looked at Su Wanning, not knowing where to start.

Seeing that Zhan Beiwang had been silent, Su Wanning lost interest and said, "I'm going to go find Aunt Cuizhi and ask Mo Lan about the house they're going to live in for the next while."

Zhan Beiwang looked at Su Wanning blankly and nodded, "You go and get busy first."

Su Wanning glanced at Zhan Beiwang and turned away.

Zhan Beiwang looked at Su Wanning's back with a hurt face. Didn't she notice his emotions?

Li Jingyu walked out of the yard and stood beside Zhan Beiwang, following his gaze. "What's wrong? Do you feel wronged?"

Li Jingyu looked at Zhan Beiwang with amusement, "Let me guess, why? Is it because she and I were walking by the ocean and sharing our innermost thoughts?"

"Shut up!" Zhan Beiwang said gritting his teeth.

"It seems I guessed right." Li Jingyu said calmly, but his expression suddenly changed. "So, just because of such a small matter, you let her come here alone today when she was planning to break ground on building a house?"

"I have other important things to do." Zhan Beiwang retorted subconsciously. Moreover, he rushed here as soon as the matter was resolved, but he did not expect to see such a scene. Later, he was emotional and wanted to calm down alone first.

"Other things? It turns out that accompanying other women shopping is also very important, even more important than marrying your own wife." Li Jingyu paused and continued, "Or do you actually always look down on her in your heart as a concubine's daughter from the countryside, and think she is unworthy of being your wife?"

"You're talking nonsense. Aning has always been the first in my heart!" Zhan Beiwang said without thinking.

"Oh? If that's the case, why did she come alone today?" Li Jingyu patted Zhan Beiwang's shoulder with the fan in his hand. "Things always have their priorities. She's not as free as you. She has a lot of things to do. No one wants to accompany a selfish person all the time."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the yard, leaving Zhan Beiwang alone in shock.

It was like being hit on the head suddenly. I regretted what I did today. On such an important day, I was still throwing a tantrum.

He originally wanted to follow Su Wanning to help but was stopped by Mo Lan.

"Your Majesty, I don't think the princess wants to see you right now."

Zhan Beiwang's expression instantly turned cold, "What do you mean?"

Mo Lan sensed the murderous intent in Zhan Beiwang and immediately knelt on one knee. "The princess found out about what you did in the city today, so she invited the Seventh Prince to go for a walk. There was nothing inappropriate between the two of them during that time."

Zhan Beiwang was in a daze, so she had known those things for a long time and was just waiting for his explanation. However, he had been hesitant and didn't say anything. How disappointed must she be in him?

"I see."

After saying this, Zhan Beiwang resolutely walked towards Su Wanning.

Su Wanning heard Li Cuizhi talking to someone about renting a house and walked over.

Li Cuizhi saw Su Wanning coming over and took the initiative to introduce, "Miss Su, if you want to build a house, you will definitely need someone to look after it. The house you are renting is from Aunt Qinghua's family."

Guo Qinghua nodded and pointed to a house in the distance. "That house is also close to where you're building your house. It used to be where my youngest son lived. He's doing business in the city now, so this house is idle. You can just move in."

Su Wanning followed her line of sight and saw a place two houses away from where she built her house.

"Auntie, thank you so much."

Guo Qinghua smiled and said, "Why thank me? We'll be from the same village from now on, and there will always be times when we can use each other."

As he spoke, he took out a bunch of keys from his waist and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see it."

Led by Guo Qinghua, several people came to the house.

The yard is very clean, probably because someone cleans it regularly. The house is very big, with two side rooms on each side of the east and west.

"I see that it's those two guards who have been busy all the time. It just so happens that my youngest son's yard has plenty of rooms, so they can all stay there."

Su Wanning nodded, and indeed they could all be accommodated, but she thought that this was ancient times, and men and women living in the same courtyard would certainly be criticized.

Li Cuizhi saw that Su Wanning looked troubled, and then thought about what Guo Qinghua had just said. It was obvious that she had misunderstood something.

"Miss Su, don't get me wrong. This house is for those grown men to live in. If you want to live in the house, then go live in my little boy's yard."

Guo Qinghua also realized that Su Wanning had misunderstood, and immediately laughed out loud, "Look at what I said, your aunt Cuizhi is right, this is where the grown men live, you go live with that little girl Xiaotong."

Su Wanning immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She thought the people here were relatively open-minded.

"Aunts, please stop calling me Miss Su and just call me Wan Ning from now on."

Li Cuizhi smiled and looked at Su Wanning, "Okay, from now on, the aunts will call you Wanning."

As they were talking, they came to a yard opposite Li Cuizhi's house and opened the door. The layout of the yard was very simple. In addition to the three main houses, there were two rooms on the west side and a vegetable field on the east side.

"If you come to live in the village, you can live here first. We have everything we need."

Su Wanning nodded, expressing endless gratitude to Li Cuizhi, "Thank you, Auntie."

"Look at you, girl, what are you thanking me for?" Li Cuizhi reached out and took Su Wanning's hand.

Su Wanning smiled, thinking that her decision to settle in Muxi Village was the right one.

Li Cuizhi saw Zhan Beiwang at the door and reached out to pat Su Wanning's hand. "If there's any misunderstanding between the two of you, you should clarify it. Don't let some misunderstandings hurt both of you."

The words were spoken to two people, but he was looking at Zhan Beiwang.

After saying that, he walked out and gave Zhan Beiwang a meaningful look when he passed by him.

Zhan Beiwang nodded slightly, waited for Li Cuizhi to come back, and quickly walked to Su Wanning.

"Aning, I'm sorry."

Su Wanning looked at him, "Sorry for what?"

"I should be with you on such an important day today. I shouldn't let my own emotions affect you. Also, I didn't want to go shopping with others at noon today. Besides, it's not as bad as that little boy said." Zhan Beiwang lowered his head.

"Zhan Beiwang, there are some things you should know what to do and what not to do. When two people are together, the most basic thing is mutual trust.

There are so many people in your Zhan family. If you encounter problems, you can work together to find a solution, but I am alone. I don’t want us to be together and solve every problem by myself in the future.”
