"I’ve worked quite hard to secure such a good marriage for our Young Master."

Though the Second Elder calls it a ’good marriage,’ the chill in his eyes clearly suggests otherwise.

The old woman is a die-hard loyalist to the Second Elder of the Qin family. Upon hearing this, she responded, "Rest assured, everything has been arranged. Now, the four servants in his courtyard—two men and two women—are all our people. I believe any minor disturbance won’t escape our observation."

"Indeed, well done."

...

Yue Ning temporarily settled with the Qin family, while Dong Huiying and her group first stayed at an inn. Afterwards, Big Brother Liang Zhichen quickly spent a large sum of silver notes to buy a house.

Dong Huiying: "..."

The expression was quite subtle.

Because suddenly, she noticed something.

"Zhichen?"

As they walked shoulder to shoulder on the street, Zhichen held a yellow oil-paper umbrella. Nowadays, he wore a Black Veiled Hat. Upon hearing her, he immediately turned his head, slightly lowering it to gaze at Dong Huiying, who was looking at him suspiciously.

"What’s wrong?"

The man’s voice was deep and magnetic, truly pleasing to the ear. This quality provided an immense sense of security, as if one needn’t fear anything even if the sky fell, for he would stand firm.

He resembled a giant protective umbrella, ready to shield his cherished family, enclosing them in a watertight shelter.

Dong Huiying scratched her ear. Though having been together for a while, some aspects should be accustomed to by now. Yet occasionally, upon hearing Zhichen’s slightly low voice, she couldn’t help but feel a sort of... almost intoxicated allure.

Because this man’s voice was truly exceptional and greatly favored her.

"I was just thinking... you seem to have a particular fondness for buying houses?"

The little eyes again momentarily showed suspicion.

Initially in Taihang Mountain with the Liang family, during the He Su incident, they mistakenly believed Shujun had died. It was indeed a tough period, the two of them guarding a shared secret, supporting each other.

And during that time, perhaps worried she was too distressed, Zhichen bought a shop in town for her, hoping to distract her through managing the store.

Though that shop later sold rouge, and with the family fearing Pei Yu and being busy fleeing, they couldn’t find the time to manage it. Eventually, it merged under Shujun’s Huizi Store operation.

Later came the Qingfeng Purple Garden.

She thought if she remembered correctly, Purple Garden also seems to have been bought by Zhichen?

Then, during the period at Qingfeng Balibao, the Huizi Store began to take shape. Her brothers gifted her a clinic as a present, which she learned about later. Though ostensibly from all six brothers representing their collective sentiment, it seemed like Zhichen made the executive decision? Was it Zhichen who finalized the decision?

And then there was the Golden Triangle. Zhichen has quite a few real estate properties there, and likewise in Jiangnan... also plenty of properties?

Dong Huiying contemplated for a good while, and suddenly exclaimed in shock, "So you are a real estate tycoon?"

Zhichen: "???"

He listened, a bit dazed.

Already accustomed to the occasionally advanced terminology from his wife’s mouth, but roughly he could grasp Dong Huiying’s meaning.

He humbly chuckled, "Maybe because the family used to be too poor?"

Dong Huiying: "???"
