Xiaobao was awoken from his sleep presumably by the people talking in his dream, or maybe because Jiang Yeqian was too loud.

“Mommy, do we... really have a big house?” he babbled.

“It’s not just big, but also valuable,” Qi Qingyao murmured softly as she patted the little guy’s body, motioning for him to go back to sleep.

Xiaobao hugged his mother’s leg again and fell asleep.

Li Qing had sent over some rice and dishes. After Si Jin went to the door to receive them, he closed the door once again.

.

Qi Qingyao asked if they should wake the children up to eat but Si Jin said there was no need—the children had eaten lots of treats in the morning and were probably not hungry now.

Qi Qingyao carried the children to the bed and covered them with a blanket. After that, she sat down at the dining table.

It had been a while since the three of them had eaten a meal together and it tasted different than usual.

Si Jin ate his white rice quietly.

Qi Qingyao offered Jiang Yeqian a smile.

After thinking for a bit, she picked out some of the dishes for the hot-tempered man. Seeing her behaving like this, Jiang Yeqian felt the frustration in his chest ease up entirely.

Once Jiang Yeqian’s temper had calmed down, his tone when speaking had also lowered. After pondering a moment, he spoke.

“To be honest, personally, I don’t agree with you living in that house.”

“Why not?” asked Qi Qingyao, her words muffled as she chewed the braised meat.

“Because that house is more than just big. You would also need at least 20 servants to take care of the hygiene issues, and that’s only accounting for the cleaning duties. The wages in Qingzhou City are really high, and if we’re considering 20 individuals every month, you would need to pay up to forty taels per person every month. And that’s just the basic salary. Daily maintenance of the house, daily meals for everyone, all of these will gradually total up and you would have to fork out at least 200 taels every month.” Jiang Yeqian analyzed the situation.

Qi Qingyao cradled her bowl, suddenly finding that the meat in her mouth was no longer tasty. Tears streamed down her face like noodles as she stared at him.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“You didn’t even inform me before you won that house!” Exactly who was in the wrong here?

“How many servants are there in that house right now?” Qi Qingyao asked.

Jiang Yeqian thought about it for a moment and said, “Judging by the specifications of the Lu family’s house, at least 120 people. The basic monthly expenses should total about one thousand taels.”

“Huh.” Did he not say two hundred taels? “One thousand taels!!”

“It would seem so,” said Jiang Yeqian.

“Why does he… whywhywhywhy, they’re just way too wealthy, aren’t they?” Did the Lu family really have this high a standard when it came to house specifications? Qi Qingyao felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Jiang Yeqian said lazily, “The Lu family are the richest in Northern Liang. If they can’t even afford the basic expenses of a house, then their title as the richest in Northern Liang would mean nothing.”

Qi Qingyao continued to pick up bits of the dishes and put them into her bowl. After thinking for a long time, she then said, “What you meant to say is, if I were to accept that house, I’d have to spend several hundreds of taels every month?”

“What else?” He was watching her with a side-eye.

Qi Qingyao put down her bowl. An idea flashed through her mind and she said, “Then why don’t we put the house up for sale, or sell it back directly to Lu Yan and have him give me three million taels.”

Jiang Yeqian was just about to agree with the notion; they could exchange it for cash.

However, Si Jin who had been silently eating his rice all this while, suddenly spoke up in a?quiet voice, “Sister, didn’t you say you wanted a house with a running water pond?”

A running water pond!

These words struck her mind like lightning.

Qi Qingyao stood up abruptly, rolled up her sleeves, and said to Jiang Yeqian seriously, “We cannot rent it, nor can we sell it. We’ll live in it ourselves! We’ll spend the money, so I’ll just work hard to earn more!”

The Koi God had blessed her several times now.

She said she would get a running water pond every time she prayed!
