The carriage slowly stopped outside the gate.

Shen Zhiyi was very elegant. He stretched out his slender arms and gently helped Tao Jiuxi get off the carriage.

As soon as Tao Jiuxi got out of the car, he walked straight towards the mansion.

However, just as her light footsteps were about to step into the door, Shen Zhiyi gently pulled her back, forcing her to stop.

"What's wrong? Why are you pulling me?" Tao Jiuxi looked puzzled, with her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Take a closer look and see if you have noticed any changes?" Shen Zhiyi reminded softly.

"What's changed?"

Tao Jiuxi was full of doubts and began to look around.

When her eyes accidentally fell on the place where the plaque "Xie Mansion" should have been hung, she was stunned.

On the plaque, the two big characters "Tao Mansion" were clearly displayed.

The conversation between them suddenly emerged in her mind. She said she wanted to buy a house, and he said "he would see to it". She never thought that he wanted to give the house to her.

Her heart was deeply touched, and an indescribable feeling of emotion surged up like a tide. She couldn't help but wonder, in this world, besides Shen Zhiyi, who else would treat her like this?

No wonder he sent Jiang Qu back so early. It turned out that everything was to give her this surprise.

"Are you really giving me your home?"

Tao Jiuxi's voice trembled slightly, and his words were full of disbelief.

"I will give it to you that day. But I have nowhere to go right now. Could you let me stay in your house?"

Tao Jiuxi only felt his eyes getting hot and tears seemed to be about to burst out at any time.

She simply couldn't imagine that he actually gave her such a big house.

Shen Zhiyi took Tao Jiuxi's hand and continued walking into the yard. When they walked around the huge screen wall, they saw the servants gathered there in an orderly manner.

The moment they saw them, the servants immediately bowed respectfully and saluted: "Hello, Second Miss, Hello, Lord Shen."

Tao Jiuxi stared at the people in front of her in a daze. Everyone no longer called her cousin, but called her "Second Miss".

Shen Zhiyi said seriously, "Since the title deed is given to you, everything in the mansion is yours. From now on, you are the host and I am the guest."

"In the future, you will find someone you like to be your housekeeper. All the maids and servants will be yours. If you do not agree, I will not punish you lightly."

"Since this is your home, don't even think about leaving. Both your sister and your father are the masters of this mansion."

Tao Jiuxi was filled with emotion at this moment. She felt like an isolated island that had been drifting in the vast ocean for a long time and had finally found a place to settle down.

Seeing Tao Jiuxi's eyes starting to moisten, Shen Zhiyi dismissed the servants and asked softly, "Why are you crying again?"

"I'm not crying, I'm just blinded by money." Tao Jiuxi said stubbornly.

After saying this, Tao Jiuxi really cried.

Yesterday, I was tense and full of worries because Tao Qingwan and Ji Miaofu were together in Jian'an Temple.

The trust they once had almost collapsed due to the various experiences of the Xie family, but at this moment, Shen Zhiyi's actions were like a ray of warm light, shining into her somewhat gloomy world, allowing her to find a trace of warmth again in her confusion and anxiety.

"Shen Zhiyi, no one has ever treated me like this." Tao Jiuxi's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with tears of emotion.

"That would be best if I could spoil you but not spoil others." Shen Zhiyi wiped the tears from the corners of Tao Jiuxi's eyes.

"Then you..." Tao Jiuxi hesitated to speak.

"how?"

"Did you go to the Boundary Office and get the official deed?"

Shen Zhiyi: "..."

He sighed. He didn't expect that the girl would care about these things at such a moment.

"Jiang Qu has already gone to do it today. You are not familiar with the capital, but you are very familiar with these procedures."

"It's more reassuring to have it in black and white. But I won't take it for nothing. From now on, I'll give you 20% of Xianpinzhai's profits. I'll give you a share for as many years as the shop has been running. If I open another shop, I'll also agree to have you join me."

A bright smile broke out on Tao Jiuxi's face. She slowly looked around. At this moment, the yard became more pleasing to her eyes.

Tao Jiuxi had no intention of refusing to accept the house. She really needed a house at the moment. If she just bought one from outside, given Madam Xie's temperament, the Xie family would definitely seek revenge for what happened yesterday.

Her father was also dismissed from his official position, and her family could not live safely in Beijing.

Therefore, being with Shen Zhiyi is undoubtedly the safest choice.

And now Shen Zhiyi is not as fierce as before, but very easy to get along with.

In this case, as long as the two of them get along harmoniously, she will definitely not want to stay away from Shen Zhiyi anymore.

"There's no need to do that. I don't lack that much from you." Shen Zhiyi shook his head slightly.

Tao Jiuxi's eyes widened. The money she earned was just "that little" in Shen Zhiyi's eyes? How rich must Shen Zhiyi be?

Shen Zhiyi looked at Tao Jiuxi who was suddenly staring at him closely, and asked in a puzzled tone: "Why are you staring at me?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time. I think you have become more handsome and pretty!"

Shen Zhiyi gently tapped Tao Jiuxi's head: "You are obsessed with money. I want money to earn your praise."

However, he was very glad in his heart that Tao Jiuxi was as lively and cheerful as before he went to Xie's house, unlike last night when he looked so distressing.

"Come on, I'll take Master Shen to my study in Tao Mansion."

"Why are you going to the study now instead of dining in the hall?"

"Lord Shen personally wrote a letter for me, inviting Xie Mi and all the female members of the Xie family to come to my housewarming party!"
