Han Qiao and the others had lunch at the restaurant before driving the carriage back to Xishan Village.
Because Grandpa and Grandma were old, the carriage moved slowly.
When they arrived at the intersection of Xishan Village, there was a carriage parked there with a servant standing beside it.
Because she didn’t recognize him, she didn’t go up to greet him.
When Han Yuan saw the carriage from afar, she quickly came up to welcome them. “It’s good that you’re back. We have guests here for Heng Yi.”
“He’s in the main room. Your father and your youngest uncle are accompanying him at the moment.”
Han Qiao tidied Heng Yi’s clothes before letting him into the hall.
She looked at the young man and did not recognize him.
Han Yuan’s sharp eyes immediately noticed the Hetian jade on Grandma’s wrist and the thumb ring on Grandpa’s thumb.
She immediately went forward to help, “Mother, let me help you.”
She then asked her mother, “Mother, your bracelet is really beautiful.”
“Ah-Qiao bought it even though I told her not to. She insisted on buying one for me and even bought a jade thumb for her grandfather.” Grandma smiled.
Then, he sat down under the eaves.
Han Qiao asked Sun Xiu and Sun Yi to go home first.
Han Yuan and her cousins immediately followed suit.
Back in the central room, Heng Yi didn’t recognize this young man either.
The man stood up and bowed to him, “Master Heng, sorry to disturb you.”
Heng Yi returned the greeting stiffly.
“And you are?”
“I’m here to send the key to the manor to Heng Fourth. I’ll be going to the north in a few days.”
“You’re leaving without taking the fruits?” Heng Yi was a straightforward person.
Zhong Yurong smiled. “The key is one of the things I came here to give you. There are two other things I want to discuss with you, Master Heng.”
“Please speak.” Heng Yi asked Zhong Yurong to sit down.
“In the past, the fruits in that manor were eaten by family members or given to relatives and friends. I wonder how much they can be sold for. Master Heng is an honest person, so I gave these fruits to you.”
Heng Yi was surprised and quickly thanked him.
Zhong Yurong continued, “Most importantly, there are still two more households in that village. I can’t bring them to the north, so I came to ask if Master Heng can feed them.”
Heng Yi fell silent.
Was he asking him to buy those two houses?
“If Master Heng has other plans, I can only sell them, but I can’t bear to see their family split up.”
Han Qiao brought tea into the main room and asked, “How many people are there in each of the two households?”
“More or less about ten people,”
Han Qiao pursed her lips and invited Zhong Yurong to drink some tea.
“Since you have come and made this trip, we will go over and take a look tomorrow. If it is suitable, we will discuss it further.”
“Can we go over today?” Zhong Yurong asked. “I need to go to the north. So, I’m in a little hurry.”
Han Qiao understood.
Looking at his refined and dignified manner, he was once an elegant and graceful noble young master.
“Alright, let’s make this trip.”
Han Qiao and Heng Yi didn’t even return home and left with Zhong Yurong.
Bai Cha also accompanied them.
Han Qiao had to be wary of others.
She might have believed in the previous owner of Zhong Yurong’s manor, however, trust was one thing, and precaution was another.
At home, Han Qiao asked her grandmother and grandfather to go home early. There were only a few children at home. Aunt Zhao and Lady Lin could be trusted for the time being, but the children were still young. There had to be an adult at home.
Even an old lady could intimidate them.
There was still a small road from the main road with a small village on the side.
There were about thirty to forty families. The houses were so sparse that the entire village could hear a shout.
Last time she saw it from afar, but this time she saw it up close. Han Qiao thought it was a nice manor.
Heavy fruits were hanging on the trees at the back of the mountain, but there were also peels on the roadside, indicating that someone from the two villages had gone to pick the fruits.
Han Qiao hadn’t met any of the people but already didn’t have a good impression of them.
Just as she reached the door, she heard a dog barking.
Two black dogs also ran out.
But when they saw Heng Yi, they were so scared that they kept quiet.
Han Qiao laughed.
Bai Cha also smiled.
Zhong Yurong only knew that Heng Yi was a hunter, but he didn’t know who he was.
Soon, someone walked out of the manor.
The old man in the lead was lean and looked like a scheming man.
He looked around and was surprised to see Zhong Yurong. “Young Master.”
Zhong Yurong nodded.
Right now, they were still servants of the Zhong family.
“Uncle Ming, this is Master Heng and Madam Heng.”
Uncle Ming looked at Han Qiao and Heng Yi.
He bowed politely. “Greetings, Master Heng and Madam Heng.”
Heng Yi had no official position, so Han Qiao as his wife was called “Madam”.
If Heng Yi had an official position, she would be Mrs. Heng.
“Master Heng, please come in,” Zhong Yurong said.
Heng Yi stood still.
Zhong Yurong suddenly realized, “I forgot. This is Master Heng’s manor.”
“It’s fine.” After saying that, Heng Yi took Han Qiao’s hand.
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
They hadn’t come in to take a look at the manor after buying it.
“Please, Young Master Zhong and Master Heng.”
They entered the manor.
It was clean inside.
However, there were traces of life everywhere.
For example, the tables and chairs in the central room had obviously been sat on.
“Uncle Ming, go and call everyone over so Master Heng and Madam Heng can get to know them.”
He was indirectly telling Uncle Ming that if Heng Yi and Han Qiao thought it was appropriate, the two families would soon change owners.
“There’s no hurry. The Master and I will look around.”
Han Qiao suggested that they take a look at the house.
Uncle Ming’s expression changed slightly, but he did not say anything.
Zhong Yurong had never stayed in the manor before.
This might be the last time he came to this manor, so he wanted to take a look before he left.
There were three large courtyards here.
Upon entering, the three courtyards gave off a feeling that people had lived in them before.
Zhong Yurong was not a fool. He could see it with just a glance.
Han Qiao didn’t even need to say anything.
Heng Yi felt that this house was not bad.
There were several rooms in each courtyard. After tidying up and moving some of the things from Xishan Village over, they could live here.
However, if he lived here, he thought that he would have to visit his relatives more often.
Han Qiao pushed open the door to the empty room.
However, there was still a huge difference between places where the beds and the furniture used to be and places without.
Heng Yi finally understood.
“Master Zhong, do you understand? “Han Qiao asked.
Zhong Yurong took a deep breath. “I’m sorry, Madam Heng. I was too presumptuous.”
“I can’t blame Young Master Zhong for this. You used to have everything you wanted. You didn’t care how much this small village produced in a year. It didn’t matter how many fruits it produced. After all, you had other more profitable investments.”
“But Young Master Zhong, as you can see, a slight change can affect everything else. Some things might seem unrelated, but they are important in the grand scheme of things.”
“Why don’t we make a bet?”
“What?” Zhong Yurong asked.
“In a moment, they will redeem themselves.” Han Qiao said softly.
Zhong Yurong was stunned.
After a while, he said, “That’s fine too. At least I’ll feel less guilty.”
“I’ve made a fool of myself.”
Zhong Yurong bowed to Han Qiao and Heng Yi.
“Let’s continue to look around.” Han Qiao suggested.
Everything in every room had been moved away, leaving it empty.
However, the marks on the ground told Han Qiao, Heng Yi, and Zhong Yurong that there was something there.
It was just that someone had moved them away..
