After moving into the inn, Yixuan looked hesitant. "Um...when we return to the manor tomorrow, you all might be a bit surprised."
Those present exchanged glances.
Third Brother Shujun raised an eyebrow, "Surprised, surprised about what? Little Liu, don’t tell you’ve kept a mistress outside!!"
Yixuan: "......" He rubbed his temples and then said with a mix of laughter and helplessness, "Third Brother, can you be a bit more reliable?"
He was completely devoted to his wife, even in his past monts of despair, he never considered accepting any other woman besides her.
"But..." Yixuan hesitated again, "Third Brother, being in business, you might know? The master of Chuixue Manor, though never appearing outside, has the surna Qin."
"Qin??"
The brothers were all puzzled.
Yixuan sighed lightly, "Grandma Qin treated very well," he recounted the events completely, then added, "Publicly, she claid that I am her son, the heir to the Qin family."
"Wait, Qin! Qin??"
Shujun was stunned, and imdiately slumped lifelessly onto a chair.
"Comparing oneself to others is truly frustrating..."
He had worked hard all these years, and although the business of Huizi Store is now flourishing, with its presence visible in more than half of Dayuan’s territory, when it cos to valuation compared to the historically prestigious Dongdi Qin family, it still falls slightly short.
After all, this Qin family...
Shujun had heard of it, rumored to have been deeply connected with the royal family in the past.
However, he also understood why Lao Ba in the Capital gave Yixuan a plaque of the Top One Villa In the World; this Qin family is truly wealthy enough to rival a nation. It’s not rely because Yixuan’s excellent brewing skills were chosen for the Imperial Palace tribute, but also because of this Qin family’s influence, right?
"Grandma Qin has a bit of an eccentric personality, and her words... um, aren’t always pleasant. You all must be tolerant when you arrive at the manor tomorrow," he advised.
The head brother expressed maturity, "Old Qin has been kind to you, and is thus an benefactor to our entire family."
Yixuan looked at his wife, and she gently held his hand, "I am grateful to her."
If it weren’t for this Old Mrs. Qin, Yixuan might have suffered greatly outside.
She too sighed with emotion.
Early the next morning, the convoy set off again.
By dusk, they saw a majestic mansion standing halfway up the mountain, looking like a giant dragon lying in repose from afar, its grandeur both resplendent and imposing, yet still maintaining a classical elegance and refinent.
"Master, you’re back!!"
The manor’s butler was overjoyed at the sight of Yixuan, nearly moved to tears with excitent.
This manor of Yixuan’s mainly employed male servants, and...
"Master, you have no idea, we’ve been eagerly waiting for you, please help us soon!"
Yixuan: "..."
His mouth twitched sharply.
Then, from within the manor, an old lady’s voice rang out energetically, "Scram, scram, scram! You n, I’m an old lady and can’t command you anymore, is that it? Young people these days truly have no regard for respecting the old and cherishing the young. Just wait, when my Xuanxuan cos back, I’ll have him fire you all one by one!!"
"Madam, spare us, it’s the Master’s order, we can’t give the young master those things because we’re afraid he’ll get a toothache."
"Pah! How can Xuanxuan be so poor? Can’t even afford so Silver to see a dentist for little Wangwang? Go! Chunchun, go back imdiately, bring a cart of gold bars!!"
