Chapter 381
When Ye Xi got off the carriage and saw the house in front of him, he was stunned. It turned out to be Yuexi Cottage.
She remembered that the yard was registered under her name. Not long after she left, she asked someone to find a realtor to sell it.
At that time, she thought she would never come back here again, so she had no regrets. Unexpectedly, she came back after going around in circles.
A steward named Sun came to greet them. He asked the servant and maid behind him to move the luggage, and he took Ye Xi for a walk.
“My Lord bought this house several years ago and has had it guarded ever since.
After I bought it, I made some renovations, but the overall layout remained the same.”
Butler Sun led the way and spoke as he did so. He thought Ye Xi had never been to this courtyard before, so he introduced it very diligently and attentively.
"Butler Sun, do you know who the previous seller was?"
Ye Xi was curious. Housekeeper Sun didn't say exactly how many years ago it was, but she had clearly been gone for four years. Could it be that the person who bought the house from her was Wei Jue?
"I don't know much about this. I only know that Master sent me here to guard it not long after he bought it."
After hearing this, Ye Xi stopped asking questions.
After walking around, I found that the whole yard had not changed much. The only change was that all the bamboos in the original Purple Bamboo Garden were cut down and replaced with plum trees. The Purple Bamboo Garden was renamed Junmei Garden.
Ye Xi understood Wei Jue's sensitivity towards bamboo. When she lived here before, the most common thing she did was to go to Zizhu Garden and stare at the bamboos in a daze. Wei Jue might think that she was missing someone because of the bamboos.
Not only was she not allowed to use any bamboo patterns on her clothes, she was also not allowed to have any furniture with bamboo patterns in the house.
She still remembered an incident when he got drunk one time and insisted that his subordinates replace a folding screen late at night.
She was puzzled at the time, but later she understood his thoughts when she remembered that there was a clump of bamboo carved on the screen.
He couldn't even tolerate a screen, so it would be strange if he didn't raze Zizhu Garden now that he had the chance.
Ye Xi suddenly found it a little funny. Wei Jue was already in his thirties and still was jealous.
Ye Xi originally wanted Qin Song to stay in Yuexi Cottage first and move out after he found a place to live.
But Wei Jue had already arranged accommodation for them, and the matter was resolved.
Ye Xi could also understand Wei Jue's thoughts and didn't want outsiders to stay in her yard.
It took Ye Xi several days to put everything in order, and she arranged Siyu to live near her yard.
She specially ordered people to seal the passage and door of Siyu's yard. Anyone who wanted to go in there had to pass through her yard. This would prevent outsiders from contacting Siyu without her consent.
In fact, the person she was mainly guarding against was Wei Jue. Although Siyu did not look like the Third Prince, as she grew older, she could still see the shadow of Qin Weiyu in her features, so she did not dare to take the risk.
In the eyes of those in the know, she did this to avoid Siyu, the burden, from causing unhappiness to Wei Jue, of course that does not include Wei Jue himself.
Wei Jue showed up half a month later. Ye Xi saw that he looked very happy and wondered what good news he had. However, she was not curious so she did not ask.
Wei Jue is not a person who likes to share everything. He is very restrained when it comes to big things.
It’s not that he thinks Ye Xi is untrustworthy, but he thinks the bigger the matter, the more cautious one should be, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.
And he didn't want to have to suspect her if something really happened one day.
Wei Jue said to the person behind him: "Move everything in!"
