"Lin Yuan, you should also change the way you address them."

As Li Shu interrupted Lin Yuan, her hands stopped moving.

Although she no longer considered the General's Mansion her home, and unless something unexpected happened she would never set foot in the General's Mansion again in her life, she still couldn't help feeling sad about Xie Yu occupying her yard.

Her yard was designed and decorated by her mother and her.

Although she was still very young at that time and helped her mother a lot, she still participated in the selection of flowers, trees and plants in the yard, window lattice styles and decorations in each room.

Also participating were Li Jin and the other four.

It can be said that to her, everything in that yard is an irreplaceable treasure.

Because every place there holds her precious memories.

But they let Xie Yu live there!

How could they let Xie Yu live there!

Seeing that Li Shu was about to lose control of her emotions and her eyes were slowly starting to turn red, she heard Lin Yuan say, "It was my negligence. General Li placed Xie Yu in the courtyard of the young lady's mother."

Li Shu was suddenly stunned.

After a while, he suppressed his disbelief and asked, "Xie Yu moved into my mother's yard?"

"Yes, as far as I know, General Li had already ordered someone to prepare a place for Xie Yu to stay. But yesterday, Xie Yu came into their general's mansion and said that she had heard a lot about the young lady's boudoir and wanted to stay in the young lady's courtyard for a while. The third and fourth young masters Li originally agreed, but the second young master Li firmly disagreed, saying that the young lady would definitely make a scene if she knew. Later, General Li was alarmed, and General Li took Xie Yu to live in the young lady's mother's courtyard, saying that it was the same as the young lady's courtyard, and that the young lady's mother had designed and decorated it."

"..."

Li Shu opened her mouth, but closed it again without saying a word.

My mother's yard was once the place where she and Li Yunzhi lived together.

She also lived there before her mother passed away.

After his mother passed away, Li Yunzhi moved to the yard where he lived before he married his mother. He also let her live in his own yard and sealed off his mother's yard, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

In the early years, no matter how busy he was, he would take time to clean the yard himself and not let anyone interfere.

Later, his longing for his mother may have been diluted by time, and when he was too busy to spare time, he would ask her to do it for him.

After she married into the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion, she would go back regularly to clean the yard when they were away on military campaigns.

did not expect……

He actually let Xie Yu live there?

It can't be that he is also interested in Xie Yu, right?

Thinking of this, Li Shu subconsciously shook her head.

That's unlikely...

Then she heard Aunt Gui say bitterly, "That Xie Yu must have some kind of sorcery that can bewitch people! Otherwise, General Li would never have allowed her to live in the General's wife's courtyard!"

Moreover, in the young lady's dream, Xie Yu had caused her to become estranged from her son-in-law, and she was even despised and hated by the young lady and the young master. Now, Xie Yu had actually moved into the general's wife's courtyard...

If the general's wife knew about this in the afterlife, she would probably never be able to rest in peace!

Nanny Gui's eyes turned red as she thought about it.

Li Shu glanced at her, lowered her head and continued to comb Zhizhi's fur while whispering, "Anyway, I won't set foot in their general's mansion again. Whether it's my mother's yard or my yard, it has nothing to do with me anymore."

Today is the last time.

From now on, she must never feel sad because of what Li Yunzhi and the others did!

Otherwise, even if she changed her fate, she would never be able to get out of those dreams!

"By the way, miss, about your yard and your mother's yard..."

"Ok?"

Li Shu raised her eyes and looked at Lin Yuan who was hesitant.

Although she tried hard to calm down, the redness in her eyes had not gone away immediately.

Lin Yuan looked at her still slightly red eyes and secretly clenched his fists before saying, "Sanniang previously built two courtyards in our building, modeled after the young lady and her mother's courtyards."

Li Shu widened her eyes slightly, and then asked, as if possessed by a ghost, "Are you involved too?"

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment before nodding, "Yes, there are some ornaments of the same style that cannot be found in the capital, so I searched many places to find them. There are also some dolls that are said to be carved by the young lady's mother herself, and I also imitated them as much as possible..."

Hearing this, Li Shu asked again: "When I went to Peacock Terrace yesterday, did you want to take me to see those two courtyards?"

Lin Yuan nodded again, then touched the back of his head and said, "But I didn't find a chance to tell the young lady."

Li Shu raised her eyebrows in understanding.

So that's why he was so excited about her going to Peacock Terrace?

She thought he regarded Peacock Terrace as his home, so he was extremely happy that she was going there.

Then she lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time. When she looked up at Lin Yuan again, there was a bit more determination in her eyes. "There should be some of your people in the Zhenbei General's Mansion, right?"

"Yes."

Lin Yuan answered very quickly.

But she was thinking that to be precise, all the people in the general's mansion were the former master's men, and any one of them would be a veteran if placed in the current building, so even Sanniang needed those people to contact her first before she could contact them.

Then he heard Li Shu say in a very calm tone: "Tell your people to choose a dark and windy night and burn my mother's yard and my yard."

Lin Yuan was stunned.

Aunt Gui was also stunned.

Coming to his senses, he quickly said, "Miss! That's the Zhenbei General's Mansion! And General Li is currently in the Emperor's favor! If this gets out of hand, the Emperor will most likely have the Dali Temple conduct a detailed investigation. Then..."

"Don't worry, Ma'am. I know everything." Li Shu interrupted Ma'am Gui and said to Lin Yuan, "Tell the people in your building to be careful. Burning down only those two courtyards won't alert the Emperor. I'll also write a letter for you to give to Li Yunzhi afterward."

"Yes."

"Also, since I want to sever ties with their General's Mansion, the more thorough the better. Tell your people to slowly withdraw from their General's Mansion."

"Yes!"

After Lin Yuan agreed again, he waited for Li Shu to finish writing the letter and hand it to him before leaving.

That evening, the news that Xie Yu had moved into the Zhenbei General's Mansion and that she would soon become Li Yunzhi's goddaughter and would transform from an orphan of unknown identity into the daughter of the General's Mansion spread throughout the capital almost at the same time.

In all the major teahouses and taverns in the capital, people were discussing whether the emperor would make an exception and revoke his order, allowing Ning Jin to take Xie Yu as his concubine.

After all, they are already husband and wife.

Of course, many people were also speculating about Li Shu's reaction.

Therefore, the number of eyes focused on the Dingbei Marquis Mansion suddenly increased countless times more than before.

That made Xu Daijun extremely anxious.

Whenever he has time, he will order the people in the Marquis' Mansion not to make any mistakes in the near future.

They were afraid that the current emperor would find some evidence to control their mansion.

Then, on the day when Li Shu was going to attend a banquet at Prince Cheng's mansion, someone unexpected came and knocked on her door.
