Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

After listening to the two guests' needs, the manager thought of a two-courtyard house in the south of the city, not far from the main street, which met their requirements, and decided to take them to see it.

"Yes, Miss and Young Master, we'll take you both to see this little one right away. The location of this courtyard is quite good."

He immediately stood up and led the way for them: "Please, gentlemen, the carriage is ready and is just outside the door."

Shi Wanxia and the other two also got up and left the brokerage. A wooden carriage was parked outside. With Li Changyu's help, they entered the carriage, which was quite spacious. The carriage traveled for about twenty minutes before stopping, and they got off at the manager's signal.

As Shi Wanxia stood up, she almost tripped on her skirt, but Li Changyu reacted quickly and caught her arm. She smiled awkwardly, "Thank you, Brother Li, but this skirt is too long. I'll have Qin Xin shorten the hem in the future, otherwise it's too long and makes it difficult to walk."

Li Changyu helped the girl out of the car with some helplessness. Not to mention that the skirts of women covered the shoes, the same was true for men. Her idea was becoming more and more novel.

Led by the steward, Shi Wanxia entered the villa. She carefully examined the house. Upon entering, there was a small corridor, next to which was a small garden with artificial hills and pavilions. At the end of the corridor was the living room.

Shi Wanxia was truly satisfied with this courtyard. The spacious living room, the antique-style tables and chairs, and the exquisite little garden, with its rockery and pavilions arranged in a pleasing manner, resembled a tranquil painting. The six side rooms were also sufficient for their group to stay in. The courtyard covered a total area of ​​over 400 square meters, exuding a sense of peace and comfort throughout.

However, she paused slightly upon hearing the price. Renting it would cost ten taels of silver a month, and the manager rambled on in a lot of languages ​​she couldn't understand. Yet, the thought of buying the courtyard began to stir within her. After all, staying at an inn was indeed quite expensive, and although this place was a gathering place for martial arts practitioners, and could be considered safe, if those people were to start a fight at the slightest provocation, she could easily become collateral damage.

The manager continued his enthusiastic introduction, praising each room and corner kitchen, his words overflowing with admiration for the courtyard. Shi Wanxia pondered the feasibility of buying the courtyard; she thought that having a stable place of her own would be a good thing.

Li Changyu, on the other hand, was pondering whether living here would bring more trouble. After all, they had a grudge against the city lord of Sangluo City, and settling here might attract the city lord's attention.

"Brother Li, what do you think of this courtyard?" Shi Wanxia asked softly.

Li Changyu looked around and slowly said, "The courtyard is nice, but if we settle here, it might cause unnecessary trouble. After all, I have a grudge against the city lord of Sangluo City."

Shi Wanxia nodded slightly; she understood the risks involved. But the courtyard was truly captivating, and she felt that as long as they acted carefully, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Let's think about it some more," Shi Wanxia said.

The two strolled around the courtyard again, the steward patiently waiting by their side. As they walked, Shi Wanxia imagined what it would be like for them to live here. A small garden could be planted with flowers and plants, and the side rooms could be decorated according to everyone's preferences. This would be a peaceful place for them.

Back at the brokerage, the manager noticed their hesitation and began to explain the advantages of the courtyard. "Esteemed guests, this courtyard is truly a rare find. It's not far from the main street, making it convenient for travel, and it's quiet and peaceful. Moreover, the price is fair. If you buy it, you'll have a property in the future."

Hearing the steward's words, Shi Wanxia's resolve wavered even further. After much deliberation, she decided to buy it. Although the courtyard was in Yan Yue Kingdom, she could always return here if Cang Ling Kingdom proved unsuitable. Li Changyu pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.

“Alright, then let’s buy this courtyard,” Li Changyu said.

Shi Wanxia was overjoyed, and a smile appeared on her face. The person in charge was also very happy and quickly began to process the relevant procedures.

"I'll send someone to clean the courtyard again in a bit, and then you two can move in. Here's the deed; please keep it safe."

The steward instructed his men to clean the house and then handed the deed and keys to Shi Wanxia. The courtyard was quite large; he wondered if they had any servants.

“Young Master Li, Miss Shi, this courtyard is quite spacious. Do you have any servants? I have quite a few servants here who have signed life contracts. Would you like to choose some? I can give you a discount.”

The words of the steward suddenly reminded Li Changyu that the young lady indeed had too few personal maids. Moreover, the courtyard was quite large, and it wouldn't be a problem to have no servants.

Shi Wanxia declined the shopkeeper's offer: "Thank you for the reminder, shopkeeper, but I already have maids. This house isn't very big, so I don't plan to hire any more servants. It's getting late, let's pack our bags and move back first. We also need to go to the market to buy some things later."

Shi Wanxia grabbed Li Changyu's arms and pulled him out of the brothel before letting go. Li Changyu's face was flushed, and he hurriedly straightened his clothes. This girl was pulling at a man like me in public; what kind of behavior was this?

"Miss Shi, you are not yet married. Such impolite behavior in broad daylight will cause gossip. Please be more careful in the future!"

Shi Wanxia turned and left with a headache. Good grief, one Shen Yanchu left and another one came. Why make such a fuss over normal physical contact between friends? This guy even made a big deal out of it. My ears are tired of hearing him.

"Alright, stop nagging and let's go back to the inn! We won't stay at the inn tonight; we'll go back to the courtyard we just bought."

Seeing the girl walk away, Li Changyu immediately strode after her, somewhat puzzled as to why she hadn't bought any servants earlier.

"Why did you interrupt me just now? You really don't have any servants! Which household doesn't have servants? If you don't buy some, how will you manage such a large courtyard? And in the future, you'll have to manage even more maids, then..."

Shi Wanxia suddenly turned around, raised her hand, and stuffed a fruit into his mouth to shut him up.

"Brother Li, aren't you a member of the martial arts world? Aren't martial arts people often unconventional and single-mindedly devoted to saving the common people? Why aren't those servants people?"

"Alright, let's go back to the inn first. Let's not talk about the servants anymore. I still have Qin Xin and the others, don't I?"

After saying this, Shi Wanxia turned and left, her resolute back seemingly proclaiming her determination. "This guy is really inflexible; talking to him is like casting pearls before swine—it's completely pointless," Shi Wanxia thought to herself, but her steps didn't slow down at all.

The brokerage firm wasn't far from the inn, just two streets away. They returned to the inn and shared the good news with Qingqing and the others. Everyone was very excited.

However, what they didn't know was that their actions had already attracted the attention of some people.
