The Crimson Grand Gate still stood majestically, but it lacked a touch of warmth, feeling somewhat desolate.
Liu Qingxi stepped forward and gently knocked on the door. After a long wait, the door creaked open.
The Doorman, yawning and with sleepy eyes, asked, "Miss, who are you looking for?"
With the decline of the Yang Family's business, the Doorman was no longer as arrogant as before. Yang Bingshan had to endure the disdain of outsiders, let alone a servant. Naturally, he kept his tail tucked and behaved himself.
"Hello, can I see Madam Yang? I'm her friend, my name is Liu Qingxi."
"Sure, please wait a moment. I'll go inform her." After a short while, a woman dressed in a dark green embroidered long skirt with bamboo patterns hurried over.
Without seeing her face, one could guess who she was just by her silhouette. "Oh, Qingxi, what brings you here? Come on in and sit with Aunt," Wen Family said with a beaming smile.
Liu Qingxi followed her inside. The large courtyard with pavilions and corridors, along with flowing water, originally painted a beautiful picture, but it seemed somewhat disheveled due to lack of proper maintenance.
Perhaps not long ago, it hadn't been like this. Liu Qingxi felt worried for the Wen Family and Yang Yichen.
As soon as she reached her destination, without waiting for Wen Family to invite her to sit down, she eagerly spoke up: "Aunt, what exactly happened? You and Brother Yang shouldn't be too sad; we can always earn more money."
She believed that such a large family business would eventually belong to Yang Yichen. It was natural for them to feel down after suddenly losing such a significant amount of wealth.
Thus, offering comfort seemed appropriate at this moment.
However, to her surprise, the two did not react as expected; they showed no signs of unhappiness and instead began to reassure Liu Qingxi: "Qingxi, you don't need to worry. This is an issue with the Yang Residence; it won't affect you at all. Aunt is doing fine."
But what was there to be fine about? Liu Qingxi felt frustrated.
What a situation, truly the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is anxious.
"Really, it's nothing. Since you came to town to find me, let's have a meal before you leave. Aunt will definitely treat you," Wen Family instructed the maid beside her without hesitation.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Liu Qingxi shouted with all her might, but it seemed the servants couldn't hear her at all. "I just ate."
"Eat a little more, just a little more," Wen Family wouldn't allow Liu Qingxi to refuse.
"Aunt, no, really no need. I came with Village Chief, and I have to go back soon."
Seeing that Liu Qingxi was genuinely busy, Wen Family had no choice but to let her go. She smiled and patted her head: "Alright, since you're busy, hurry along. You don't need to worry about anything here; everything is fine."
The reason Wen Family felt so at ease was that she had a bold guess in her heart: could all of this be orchestrated by Yang Yichen?
But it seemed a bit impossible! Her son had just finished the Provincial Examination; how could he have the time, energy, and manpower to arrange all this?
Yet if it wasn't him, why did he remain so calm every time she asked? Why did he always tell her not to worry and that he would handle everything?
Wen Family couldn't figure it out, but Yang Yichen's confidence made her think this way.
After all, the Yang Family's Estate didn't hold much temptation for the two of them; she only needed to secure her rightful share.
Thinking of this, Wen Family felt even more relaxed and let Yang Bingshan take his seemingly frail Beauty to enjoy themselves promptly.
Just as Liu Qingxi was about to leave Wen Family's courtyard, a White-Clad Youth approached her.
He walked briskly, afraid of missing the chance for an encounter. When he saw the figure of a girl ahead, he gradually slowed his pace and approached her.
“Qingxi, you’re here! Thank you for your concern, I’m very happy.”
“It’s nothing. After all, we are friends. Just let me know if you need anything.”
“Mm-hmm, hearing your concern makes me happy. Don’t worry, I’ve got everything under control. Don’t you remember our warm winter?” Yang Yichen revealed just a hint to let the girl know he had stable assets.
“That’s good to hear. I happened to hear about it when I came to town today, so I rushed over to check on you. I was worried that Aunt might be upset and it would affect her health.”
“Let’s go, I’ll walk you out.” Yang Yichen naturally walked alongside the girl.
Behind them were the somewhat chaotic branches of the Azure Tree, and the servants were noticeably reduced in number.
This was all because the Yang Residence's business was becoming increasingly unprofitable, and there was no longer a need for so many servants at home.
As they passed by the study, it seemed one could still hear Yang Bingshan's furious voice: “Who is behind this plot against me?”
But the problem was that no one had an answer for him.
In another courtyard, Liang Mei'er smiled as she looked at Yang Butler, who was holding several shop deeds and showing his yellowed teeth. “So, how is it? Am I reliable or what?”
“Mm-hmm, not bad!” Liang Mei'er smiled.
Accompanying Yang Bingshan for such a long time, even without merit, there has been hard work involved, which is something she rightfully deserves.
Only by laying these tangible things out in the open can everyone see the real benefits and feel at ease. Liang Mei'er is just that kind of person.
"Hehehe, beautiful lady, I've done so much for you; don't you think you should reward me properly?" Yang Butler lunged forward with his round body, and Liang Mei'er giggled, "Oh, take it easy."
Soon, a charming atmosphere wafted from Liang Mei'er's room. What was he afraid of now? He was not afraid of anything; Yang Bingshan had long since lost interest in managing household affairs, so Yang Butler was determined to seize the opportunity to be intimate with Liang Mei'er.
Afterward, Liang Mei'er rested her head on the man's shoulder: "From now on, it's up to you!"
"Liang Mei'er, don't worry; I will definitely handle the rest!" With soft jade-like warmth in his embrace, any normal man would be moved.
The two believed this matter could never be discovered by anyone. However, unbeknownst to them, a figure outside on an old tree was watching their actions clearly, looking at them as if they were fools.
"How damn unlucky. Why was he sent to manage this mess? Just looking up and seeing that chunk of fat is disgusting."
"When will the master pull in the net? If he does, I won't have to wait for that chunk of fat anymore. I really don't know how much longer I can hold on; it's nauseating."
This was the inner voice of the man in black; he had long wanted to wail about it.
At the entrance, two figures in white and yellow emerged together. Yang Yichen subtly approached Liu Qingxi, walking alongside her. Their similarly tall figures resembled matching outfits in different colors, like a couple's attire.
