However, that’s not the end of it. Qi Xi truly demonstrates what it means to be not just down, but even more down! He’s feeling quite upset, lugging a huge pile of items listlessly. Just then, someone walked towards Qi Xi. "Young Master Qi." This person had a smiling face, much like a cunning fox. Qi Xi recognized the person’s identity; he was from the Blue mansion. And since he came, it meant the Blue mansion was looking for him. Qi Xi twitched the corner of his mouth. The person extended his hand slowly, "Shall we?" Qi Xi took a step back, "Can I put my things back in the room first?" "How can we bother Young Master Qi with such menial tasks? Hey, aren’t you going to lend a hand? Help Young Master Qi take this pile of junk back!" Junk... junk... junk?? Qi Xi’s whole face was contorted; truthfully, he wanted to escape, but he didn’t dare! If he really ran away, the consequences could be quite severe! In the end, feeling listless and as obedient as a little chick, Qi Xi was taken onto a carriage. The direction of the carriage was indeed towards the Blue mansion. Two hours later, Qi Xi, with a bruised face, limped out from the Blue mansion. He brought a beating upon himself! Eldest Brother is so heartless, utterly heartless! He actually beat him up again? Shu Yu was genuinely frustrated with Qi Xi. Qi Xi, perhaps he wasn’t actually wrong. In Qi Xi’s opinion, he took a liking to a girl, and Dayuan’s laws encouraged women to have multiple husbands. He diligently promoted himself, hoping his beloved would fancy him and take him home. From his perspective, there’s nothing wrong; everything was entirely normal. But as a protective member of the Liang family, Shu Yu had to muster all his patience to accept and endure dealing with these brothers. Because they were brothers, compromises were necessary; no one wanted to tear things apart and become strangers. Hence, each of them cautiously walked a tightrope, fearing to overstep. Yet Qi Xi, an outsider, dares to think he can squeeze in? The more people holding a place in the wife’s heart, the less space the others can occupy. Anyone who covets the wife, Shu Yu detests them terribly. Therefore, perhaps learning from the lesson at the inn where they encountered Qi Xi, Shu Yu and the wife hopped onto a carriage, stopped looking for another inn, and rented a courtyard. He paid for just a month’s rent, as he wasn’t sure how long he and the wife would stay there, so renting too long might be quite unnecessary, plus it helps save money! Liang Family’s frugal expert, Shu Yu, his mind calculated with a clanking sound. Of course, this courtyard wasn’t bad, it was clean inside, only needing some bedding to be quite livable. By the time Dong Huiying stepped down from the carriage, Shu Yu had sorted everything out. Shu Yu, despite usually seeming lazy, proved quite reliable when things needed doing. "Watch your step, these stairs are a bit high." Shu Yu supported the wife into the courtyard. This courtyard perfectly fitted the saying: Small though it is, it’s fully functional. Pulling over a stool, spreading a clean cloth on top, Shu Yu let the wife sit there while he rolled up his sleeves, carried out the bedding he bought while renting the courtyard, and picked up a broom to tidy up the courtyard. Watching the diligent and hardworking Shu Yu, suddenly Dong Huiying had a thought.
