Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

The next day, inside the carriage, Su Haoyu was extremely excited, and his face was constantly beaming with joy.

Seeing how happy he was, Su Qianrou didn't say anything, only feeling that everything she had done was worthwhile.

Su Mingxuan said, "Tone it down, don't get too excited."

Su Haoyu then calmed down a bit.

Seeing Su Mingxuan's sullen face, Su Qianrou tentatively asked, "Isn't Big Brother happy about moving out?"

"No, don't overthink it."

“Your older brother isn’t unhappy, he’s worried about you,” Song Shiyu said.

"Why are you worried about me?"

Song Shiyu looked at Su Mingxuan.

Su Qianrou also looked at him.

However, Su Mingxuan did not answer.

Su Qianrou didn't ask any more questions because she knew that with Su Mingxuan's intelligence, he would definitely be able to guess that she was the one plotting behind the scenes, and he would also know her current situation, which was why he was worried. Then she turned to Song Shiyu and asked, "Is your health not good, sister-in-law? You are about to give birth, and it's really hard to make you go through all this trouble."

“I’m fine, don’t worry. Besides, I’m so happy to be able to move out now. I thought it would take at least another ten years, but I never expected this day to come so soon.”

Su Haoyu couldn't help but chime in, "Sister-in-law is right. Now that we've set up our own residence, I no longer have to secretly practice martial arts or attend classes every day. It's wonderful!"

"But from now on you will be the young master of the Su family, not the Marquis's mansion."

"Compared to the fifth young master of the Marquis's mansion, I would rather be the second young master of the Su family. Besides, I can earn the title myself in the future. When that time comes, I will not only earn a title for my mother, but I will also support my sister and make sure that no one can bully her."

"Okay, I'll wait."

"Sister, just wait and see, I will definitely bring glory to our family."

Su Qianrou smiled but didn't say anything.

The carriage was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation throughout the journey.

Afterwards, the group arrived at the Su residence. Su Jing'an looked at the two characters "Su Residence" on the plaque and was filled with emotion.

So does everyone else.

Lin Rong was moved by the scene and said, "From now on, this will be our home."

“This is our real home,” Su Haoyu echoed.

"A home that truly belongs to us," Su Qianrou thought to herself.

"Alright, let's go home," Su Jing'an said, and then walked inside first.

Everyone else followed suit.

Afterwards, Su Qianrou arrived at Youlan Courtyard, looked around, and found several plum trees in the courtyard, blooming very brightly and beautifully. She couldn't help but recall the surprise Su Jing'an had mentioned earlier, and realized that it must be these plum trees.

Chunzhu said with a smile, "On the way here, I was wondering why Master assigned Miss such a far-away courtyard. It turns out it's because of these plum blossoms."

“It’s not actually that far from here, just a bit out of the way, but it’s much bigger than Asahi-in,” Kikuka said.

"It's great, I like it very much. Let's go in."

"Yes".

Next, they entered the house, the layout of which was not much different from that of Chaoxi Courtyard. Su Qianrou was not picky about it and was therefore quite satisfied.

Juxia first poured her a cup of tea, and then said, "Miss, please sit here for a while, we'll go pack our things."

"Okay," then, remembering something, he added, "Oh, right, call Ang Lee in; I have something to ask him."

“Yes,” Chunzhu replied.

A moment later, Li An walked in and said, "Greetings, Miss."

"How's the matter I asked you to do going?"

"Miss, it's all taken care of. The news has spread throughout the city that the Marquis of Anping's family is heartless and ruthless. In addition, the people are praising the master, saying that he is not afraid of powerful people and is dedicated to serving the people. He is a rare good official."

"That's very good."

Meanwhile, in the restaurant, Mu Jinchen sat down by the window, watching the pedestrians on the street, lost in thought.

At this moment, the four people at the next table started talking about the Marquis of Anping's residence.

"Have you heard? Marquis Anping has driven his son out of the Marquis's mansion."

"I've heard about it before. His son is the Minister of Revenue. I heard he offended Prince Qing and Prince Min, so the Marquis's mansion expelled him from the mansion to protect itself."

"He dares to offend even Prince Qing and Prince Min. This Lord Su is truly fearless."

“Then Lord Su was merely following orders,” she said, lowering her voice, “I heard that the Ministry of Revenue couldn’t even scrape together five million taels for this Huainan flood.”

"That can't be right."

“It’s true, I have a distant relative who works in the Ministry of Revenue, and he told me this himself.”

"I've heard that Prince Qing and Prince Min owe more than 100 million taels of silver."

"So much money! It turns out that all the taxes the imperial court collected over the years ended up in their pockets."

"That's why the Regent sent Lord Su to collect the debt. The Regent said, 'What is taken from the people should be used for the people.'"

"Both the Regent and Lord Su are rare and excellent officials."

"That's right. I heard that when Lord Su was serving in Yangzhou, the people of Yangzhou not only saw him off for miles, but also presented him with a 'Ten Thousand People Umbrella'."

"I've heard about it too."

"Do you think Marquis Anping is stupid? He has such a good son, yet he actually kicked him out of the manor. I don't know what he was thinking."

"Who says otherwise? They're simply blind."

Mu Jinchen and Yingfeng heard every word of their conversation.

Yingfeng leaned close to Mu Jinchen's ear and whispered, "Your Highness, I originally thought that your reputation would be damaged by this debt collection, but I didn't expect that you would actually gain a good reputation."

"Go and find out who did it," Mu Jinchen actually already had a guess in his mind, but he just wanted to confirm it.

Yingfeng replied, "Yes."

That evening, after taking a bath, Su Qianrou sat on the couch, deep in thought. After a while, she finally spoke, asking, "Chunzhu, how's it going with bribing the people in Aunt Xu's courtyard that I asked you to do?"

Chunzhu then remembered this matter, her face fell, and she didn't know how to answer.

"What's wrong? Did you run into a problem?"

"No, it's... I've been so busy lately, I forgot. Please forgive me, Miss," she said, kneeling down.

"Get up, it's not a big deal, I'll think of another way."

"Miss Xie".

Su Qianrou muttered to herself, "It's a pity there are no secret guards. If there were, this would be much simpler."

"I can lend it to you," Mu Jinchen said as he walked in unnoticed.

Su Qianrou looked at him, somewhat surprised, "Your Highness, what brings you here?"

Mu Jinchen walked up to her and said, "I cannot come."

"Of course not. Your Highness's presence has brought great honor to my humble abode, and it is truly an honor for my home."

Mu Jinchen knew she was flattering him, but he was still pleased. He walked over and sat down, asking, "Do you like this mansion?"

"I haven't had a chance to see it yet, but what the prince bestows must be good."

"Why did you choose this courtyard?" Mu Jinchen asked tentatively.

“This wasn’t chosen; my dad chose it for me.”

"Didn't they say that Lord Su treated you very well? Why would he choose such a remote courtyard for you?"

"Because he knows I like plum blossoms, and there just happens to be some here."

"You like plum blossoms."

"I like any flower that looks pretty."

Mu Jinchen remained silent.
