I, the one in the heavens, am here to protect my bottom line in all realms.

Chapter 348: Separate and Live Alone

Zhang Chengyuan entered the main hall and was about to pay his respects when he heard Duke Xingguo say, "No need to be polite. Come and sit down."

"Yes," she replied, and then she found an empty seat and sat down.

Duke Xingguo took a sip of tea and said, "Xiao Si, I heard that you want to move out and live alone after getting married?"

Zhang Chengyuan stood up and answered respectfully: "Yes, my daughter has this idea."

"What about now? Has anything changed?"

Duke Xingguo looked calm and composed, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said, "Since my daughter has made a promise, she will not break it."

Duke Xingguo stared at her for a moment, then smiled and said, "Not bad, you are very courageous. It is a good idea to separate and live alone after marriage. In the future, all the girls in my Duke Xingguo's Mansion should do the same."

All the girls stood up and responded, but no one knew whether any of them were unwilling.

Duke Xingguo looked at his girls with satisfaction, and said with great satisfaction, "You have all grown up. Please sit down."

Everyone sat down.

Duke Xingguo spoke again: "Xiao Si, I gave you your share of the family property before, so I won't give you any more. I called you here this time to give you a yard and some money to settle down. Other than that, you two will have to rely on yourselves in the future. Do you understand?"

Zhang Chengyuan stood up again: "My daughter understands."

"Well, go back and prepare, and pick a day to move in."

After saying this, Duke Xingguo stood up and left. She was still a little unhappy about the fact that her daughter would have to live separately after getting married.

The master also spoke at this time: "Chengyuan, this separation does not mean that we are no longer related to you, but it allows you to grow up independently in your own small family. The Duke's Mansion will always be your home. If you have any difficulties, feel free to come back. However, you must also understand that after the separation, you must put your own small family first and manage your life well."

"Cheng Yuan, I understand."

The master said in a friendly tone: "That's good, go back and clean up. If you don't understand anything, you can ask the butler for help."

"Thank you for your understanding, my lord."

After expressing her gratitude, Zhang Chengyuan left immediately. Among her sisters, there was one who was unwilling to separate and live on her own. She didn't want to endure their sarcastic complaints here, so it was better for her to leave first.

The few people who originally wanted to vent their anger could only watch the people slip away because they were concerned about the presence of their master. They became more and more upset, but no one wanted to harm their own sisters.

Zhang Chengyuan returned to his courtyard and told Jiang Siyou, who was eagerly waiting, what had happened. The two of them then began to arrange their respective warehouse properties.

Zhang Chengyuan called Mu Xun to check out all his properties together. Jiang Siyou was also busy, and he also checked the dowry he brought.

The servant handed him his dowry list, and he flipped through it while saying, "Put the things away, we'll probably have to move to a new place in the next two days..."

Suddenly, he noticed the fertility fruit recorded on the list. The original owner's father actually gave him three fertility fruits as a dowry. He asked the servant to get them, but his mind was wandering elsewhere.

When he saw the three words "Fertility Fruit", a thought arose in his mind: if he was not important, then what about the child who was connected to her by blood?
Perhaps I had this idea a long time ago, but when was it?

Perhaps it was when Bazai told himself that Yuanbao was using her own divine body in this world.

Now the time and place are right, it is simply a godsend opportunity. If he doesn't act now, wouldn't it be a waste?

The servant came over holding an exquisite jade box. Jiang Siyou opened it and took a look. Inside were three pink, crystal clear peaches that looked like crystals.

He waved his hand and asked them to leave. He put the box into the box that Yuanbao had given him. His face gradually became firm. Deep in his eyes was a hint of stubbornness and madness, as if he would destroy everything, including himself, if he couldn't get it. This look, which concealed the desire to destroy everything, made people's backs cold.

But soon, Jiang Siyou returned to normal. He continued to check his dowry without any clues, and was thinking about how to repay the original owner's family in the future.

While I was thinking, I saw Zhang Chengyuan rushing in: "Siyou, I found that I am really poor. My storeroom is full of miscellaneous items, most of which are old items."

Jiang Siyou smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, you are poor and I am rich, I will give you everything I have."

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head after hearing that, and put his arms around Jiang Siyou's neck, resting his head on his stomach and said, "Then I can't accept it. This is your dowry. Don't worry, just follow me and you'll go hungry for nine meals in three days."

After saying that, I couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Siyou struggled to break free from her arms and said helplessly, "Forget it, I'm too weak to follow."

As he said this, he folded the sheet and put it aside to avoid her seeing the fertility fruit. After all, she seemed unwilling to have children.

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then the manager came to report that everything had been cleaned up.

Zhang Chengyuan asked her to gather all the people in the courtyard and ask if they were willing to move with them. Those who were not willing could stay in the mansion and wait for the housekeeper to make new arrangements. Those who were willing could pack up and move with them early tomorrow morning.

Everyone in the yard expressed their desire to leave together. She said something to Jiang Siyou and went to ask the master for the indentures of these people.

After hearing her purpose, the master did not make things difficult for her and readily handed over the indentures to her.

After returning, she arranged for the housekeeper to take people to the new house to clean up so that they could move in directly the next day.

The day passed in the blink of an eye, and it was early the next morning.

As soon as the two of them got up, a servant came over and said that the master was in the main hall and invited them to have a reunion dinner.

After the meal, Zhang Chengyuan took their belongings and left the Duke of Xingguo’s Mansion and went to their own home.

Although it is called a small home, it is actually not small. There are six courtyards inside and outside the home. It is several times bigger than where she lived before. With so few people coming here, it seems particularly lonely.

Zhang Chengyuan immediately asked Mu Xun to buy some more servants. Mu Xun would be her external butler in the future, and the internal butlers would be the previous steward and Jiang Siyou's personal attendant.

Although settling in seemed simple, it took a whole day. During dinner in the evening, Zhang Chengyuan asked about Jiang Siyou's plan to go back tomorrow, and Jiang Siyou said he would go back whenever he got up.

Zhang Chengyuan also told Mu Xun to prepare a generous gift for his visit.

They had a dreamless night and both woke up early the next day and went home early.

Jiang Siyou's father in this body finally showed up this time, but he was so weak that he seemed like he could be blown away by the wind, and he looked like he was about to faint at any time.

Zhang Chengyuan looked at Jiang Siyou and made eye contact with him. Finally, when Jiang Siyou sent his father back to the house to rest, he stuffed some health-preserving pills into his mouth.

The two of them had a meal at Shangguan Mansion and then went back. Since she was the boss of the restaurant and was completely hands-off, they naturally had a lot of free time.

That day, Mu Xun said that her elder sister Zhang Jinyao invited her out for a drink and had something to tell her.

Zhang Chengyuan said something to Jiang Siyou and went to keep the appointment. Jiang Siyou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Chengyuan finally leaving.

Finally he had waited for the chance, otherwise she would not dare to reveal any of her thoughts to him.

Sorry, I fell asleep yesterday and forgot to post it. I just woke up and posted it.
