Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Li Tianze walked up to her and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"No, I just feel uncomfortable with Chu Yuntian's eyes."

Li Tianze naturally knew what kind of person Chu Yuntian was. He said disdainfully, "I guess there will be a lot more people in the Chu family's backyard after today."

"Why do you say that?" Leng Youran felt that there was a story behind this, and his eyes couldn't help but glow green.

Li Tianze tapped her forehead lovingly and signaled to her with his eyes that there was someone in front of her.

Leng Youran saw that the servant who led them was waiting for them not far away, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"My two guests, that's the inner courtyard. Please don't step into it lightly. Okay, the pavilion in front is where you can rest. We will also deliver food and snacks there. Please help yourself."

Li Tianze took out five taels of silver from his pocket and gave it to the servant, "Thank you, little brother. Please pay more attention to our food."

The servant hadn't expected the unfamiliar man to be so well-mannered. He dropped his casual attitude and bowed, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, my two distinguished guests, have fun. I'll make sure to prepare all the food and snacks." He then pulled out a key from his pocket and handed it to Li Tianze. He pointed to an open-air shed not far from the pavilion and said, "The food will be delivered there shortly."

"Okay, thank you, brother." Leng Youran also thanked him politely.

After the servant left, Li Tianze took Leng Youran to the open-air shed.

Leng Youran was about to complain about how simple the shed was when he stepped into it.

Before they could utter any words of dissatisfaction, they saw the ground beneath their feet begin to slowly rise, and it did not stop until they could see the scenery of the garden clearly even when they were sitting.

"Wow..." Leng Youran couldn't help but sigh.

This is so damn interesting. It seems that the person who built this place is a genius. He actually knows how to use the principle of lifting.

She originally thought it was just a simple shed with a table, but she didn't expect there would be such a surprising thing.

Li Tianze was not overly surprised by this. There were so many strange and bizarre things in this village. It just depended on whether you were willing to spend money to explore them.

"You gave the servant some money just now because you knew this shed was not simple?"

"Yes, it's the same in the inner courtyard, but the sheds there aren't ordinary sheds like these. They're made of nanmu wood, and they're farther apart than they are here."

Most of the people who go to the inner courtyard are from wealthy families with status. Many men still strictly observe etiquette and almost never appear in the same place with women.

Most of them sit in the shed with people they know and enjoy the scenery outside.

Leng Youran looked around and found that it was just as Li Tianze said. Their shed was the first one, and the second shed was only ten meters away from them.

To be honest, if the noise from the shed over there is a little louder, you can hear it clearly from here.

But maybe they came early, and there were no guests in the other tents yet.

There are about ten sheds like theirs.

Their position is the best.

"You know what? Sitting here, I can see the entire outer courtyard. It makes me not want to go around anymore. It seems there are no surprises."

From here, one can clearly see the entire outer courtyard. Directly in front of them is the garden, and the pavilion in the garden is the resting place that the servant just mentioned.

To the north of the garden is a pond with a pavilion above it.

At the end of the shed is a peach orchard. Opposite the peach orchard is an area near the inner courtyard where a vegetable patch is planted on the open space.

"Well, this is the best location, the highest. The other sheds are also relatively lower than ours."

Leng Youran saw that he was talking so clearly and asked in confusion, "Don't you always go to the inner courtyard? How do you know so much about the outer courtyard?"

"Tianming often brings his friends here to hang out. He told me all this."

Leng Youran nodded secretly, "It seems that I brought the wrong person this time. I should have brought Tianming with me."

When Li Tianze heard this, his brows furrowed, and his eyes staring at Leng Youran became resentful.

Although he didn't say anything, Leng Youran could see the sadness in his eyes.

Leng Youran's young heart couldn't stand him being like this, so she quickly apologized, "I was wrong, I was wrong. Didn't I just say a few words out of impulse because you didn't know anything?"

"Who said I don't know? Don't I remember all these things clearly?" While saying this, he was still thinking in his heart whether he should "interrogate" Li Tianming more later.

At the very least, we have to pry out everything he knows, so that next time we go out with the little girl, we won't be in trouble when something happens.

Leng Youran had no idea that just two simple words from her had caused Li Tianming's nightmare.

Still admiring the scenery below.

To be honest, the scenery was just average. Compared to the mountains and rivers she had seen before, these were just ordinary small parks in the county towns in her previous life.

The only thing worth mentioning is probably the vegetable garden.

Someone has already gone to the vegetable garden. From a distance, the person who went there looks familiar. "Tianze, is that where everyone in the front and back yards picks their vegetables?"

Li Tianze nodded. "Well, only the vegetable garden and peach orchard are shared. However, the inner courtyard also has a pear orchard and an apricot orchard. People from the inner courtyard can come to the peach orchard, but people from the outer courtyard cannot enter the apricot orchard and the pear orchard."

"Let's go and take a look." As he said that, he pulled Li Tianze out of the shed.

When they arrived, Chu Jianing was introducing the types of dishes there to those who had never been there.

Because Li Tianze was a man, Leng Youran did not approach them, but just picked a few vegetables from the vegetable fields around them.

"Look, those two must be people who have never seen the world. They probably don't even know what those vegetables are. They only know green vegetables. They don't know how to look at so many exotic things, and they only know how to pick common vegetables like green vegetables. They must be so ignorant because they don't know how delicious other vegetables are."

A slightly sarcastic female voice sounded from behind Leng Youran.

Leng Youran turned around and looked at the person who spoke with displeasure.

Chu Jianing crossed his arms and looked at them with a haughty expression, "Why, isn't it? You only know about small green vegetables. Looking at your expressions, I know you must have never seen anything here, right?"

Leng Youran turned her head away with a look of disdain, not wanting to pay any attention to her at all.

It wasn't that she swallowed her anger, but she really didn't want to argue with them. What seemed strange to them was just something she had eaten enough of.
