Transmigrated Genius: Fragile Heiress Reigns Supreme-Chapter 657 - 659: Property (1)

Xiqiu leaned against the large pillow embroidered with water lotus flowers in the blue room, letting out a long sigh.

The maids and older women had all left the room, and she lifted her foot to rub her leg. After walking a bit and then taking a carriage, she hadn’t felt anything before, but now she felt uncomfortable everywhere, and her legs were sore. Suddenly, a large hand reached over, took her foot, and placed it on his lap. One hand started to rub her leg, "Where does it hurt? Here?"

Xiqiu raised an eyebrow as she looked at him and tried to pull her foot back. Naturally, she couldn’t pull it back with her strength, so she said, "Let Chunliu come in. How could I trouble you?"

Fourth Master Xiao’s hands didn’t stop, and his strength was just right. He said, "Do you find my massage uncomfortable?" As he spoke, his hands moved smoothly from her calf to her thigh.

Xiqiu felt ticklish and couldn’t help but giggle, shaking her head, "No, no, you massage quite well, but I think it’s unfitting for you to use a big knife on such a small task."

Listening to her theory, Fourth Master Xiao couldn’t help but smile, but intentionally put on a profound expression and replied in a deep voice, "It’s my knife. I decide where to use it."

Xiqiu laughed and quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes! Fourth Master, you’re absolutely right!"

Truth be told, he did massage better than Chunliu. Xiqiu couldn’t help but feel drowsy and wanting to sleep, and seeing her, Fourth Master Xiao smiled and said, "If you want to sleep, then sleep. No need to stay awake." But Xiqiu forced her eyes open and said, "I’ve just moved into the mansion, and there are still many things to do. I can’t just lie down and sleep immediately. If word gets out, who knows how others might laugh at me."

Fourth Master Xiao raised an eyebrow and, imitating Xiqiu’s jade-like style, helped massage her foot. The delicate, lovely foot made him afraid to use too much strength, so he gently lightened his touch, "It’s just the three of us living in the mansion, the doors are tightly shut, so how would anyone on the outside know what we are doing?"

Xiqiu was startled to hear this and suddenly thought it made sense, then sat up with her legs hugged, making Fourth Master Xiao nervous. He held her and couldn’t help pinching her nose and frowned, "Nowadays are different, you should pay attention."

Xiqiu’s attention wasn’t on this, and she sat there with furrowed brows, one foot still held by Fourth Master Xiao, and the other hanging off the Arhat Bed. Seeing her like this, Fourth Master Xiao asked, "What’s wrong? Did you lose something over there? If it’s not important, just let it go. If it is, have someone retrieve it."

Xiqiu didn’t look at him but waved her hand, "I was trying to recall the work guidelines for company employees."

Fourth Master Xiao listened, looking puzzled, repeated what she had just said, furrowed his brows but still couldn’t understand what she meant by that, and scrutinized her, seeing Xiqiu tilt her head, still lost in thought. After a while, her eyes brightened, and she looked at Fourth Master Xiao, "Fourth Master is right. Only we live in the mansion. If we keep it tight, no one will know what we do."

In the past, at the Tong Mansion, whatever she did was done cautiously, not daring to keep secrets, and it was the same in the Marquis Mansion, where the smallest matter could spread by the next day. But now, it was different, living only them in the new mansion, unless someone from outside inquired, who could know what happened with the doors shut?!

Fourth Master Xiao chuckled, realizing she was racking her brain over such a matter.

"About the issues in the inner residence, don’t concern yourself too much for now. There are still Nanny Rong and Nanny Cen. If anything comes up, instruct them to handle it."

Fourth Master Xiao was right, but Xiqiu felt that this was her home, and if she always had to keep up appearances, fearing others’ criticism, then it wouldn’t be a home. A home should be a warm, comfortable place where one can relax both body and mind. Since she had moved, she should sort things out properly.

Fourth Master Xiao didn’t understand the matters of the inner residence and wasn’t interested in understanding them, so he focused on massaging her foot while Xiqiu leaned back against the pillow to think things over.

"Fourth Master! Fourth Master!" Xiqiu panted as she leaned against him, "I... I’m hungry."

Fourth Master Xiao couldn’t help but laugh, suppressing his earlier urges once again. He rubbed the top of Xiqiu’s head, smiled helplessly, and said, "What do you want to eat? I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare it!"

Xiqiu wasn’t genuinely hungry, just trying to divert his attention, so she randomly mentioned a few dishes. Fourth Master Xiao let her go and instructed someone outside, then returned to Xiqiu and said, "Once you’re feeling a bit better, I’ll accompany you for a walk in the garden."

Xiqiu agreed, she also wondered why she was so exhausted. But compared to Madam Jiang, who reacted to every food, even vomiting bitter liquids, her sleepiness was milder.

"Alright." Fourth Master Xiao’s self-control was always excellent, and by now, he had regained his composure. He sat down beside Xiqiu, who half-embraced his arm and asked, "Fourth Master, with our move this time, do we need to host a banquet in the mansion?"

Fourth Master Xiao looked back at her, noticing that since moving to this place, Xiqiu seemed much more relaxed, living more playfully than before. He was delighted, hugging her close, "According to tradition, we should host a banquet, but you’re pregnant now, so it’s okay if we don’t."

That was even better; she would truly have some peace, nodding, "Then let’s not host it!"

The two chatted for a while longer when the meal arrived outside, set in the adjacent room. Xiqiu and Fourth Master Xiao moved to the adjacent room, and Min was accompanied in by his nurse. Xiqiu smiled at Min and asked, "Min, did you check out your new room? Do you like it?"

Min now had his own little courtyard, but since he was still young and Xiqiu wasn’t comfortable with him being too far, they had him choose a courtyard just behind hers. He had only four maids and a nurse, and since Erquan didn’t live in the mansion, the courtyard was enough.

Min nodded, quickly agreeing, "I like it." He walked over to Xiqiu and furrowed his short little brows, "But it’s a bit far." Meaning, it’s a bit far from Xiqiu.

Before Xiqiu could say anything, Fourth Master Xiao frowned and said, "How can you be so clingy like a girl? Your mother has other things to attend to and can’t watch over you all day!"

Min lowered his head, and Xiqiu cheerfully rubbed his head, smiling, "Your father wasn’t wrong, but mother knows Min wants to be closer to mother, to take care of her, right?"
