Chenshi.

Uncle Fu came to Wenhuaxuan and said, "Madam, Mr. Cai is waiting for you at the manor in West City. Do you think it would be convenient for you to go over there?"

Liu Yueru packed up early and asked Mother Yan to tell the housekeeper to arrange a carriage for her that was already waiting outside.

"Let's go." Liu Yueru stood up and said to Uncle Fu in front of her.

Mother Yan went with Liu Yueru, carrying a small package.

The carriage slowly passed through the downtown area and turned into the western suburbs of Beijing. The carriage moved faster and the air was much better.

Liu Yueru gently lifted the curtain a little. There was a mountain in front of her, and a large field in the middle, connected together.

"Madam, we're here." Uncle Fu's voice sounded outside.

Mother Yan put the small stool on the ground, went to the side of the carriage and helped Liu Yueru down from the carriage.

"It's a nice place." Liu Yueru said lightly.

Uncle Fu also nodded in agreement. "The fields are all connected, which makes farming easier. Besides, the soil is fertile, so no matter what you plant, you can get a good harvest."

"Let's go meet Mr. Cai." Liu Yueru glanced at a house not far away and went there with Uncle Fu.

When Mr. Cai heard the noise, he hurried out.

When he saw that the person coming was a woman, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but his expression quickly regained its composure.

Liu Yueru deliberately concealed her identity, so Uncle Fu hurriedly introduced her: "Hello, Mr. Cai, this is my wife."

"Greetings, Mr. Cai." Liu Yueru said modestly.

Mr. Cai also bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, Madam. Please come in and have some tea."

"Please." Liu Yueru stretched out her hand to signal Mr. Cai to walk in front.

Following Mr. Cai's footsteps, we arrived at the house where they were staying.

The servant served the best Longjing tea.

Liu Yueru didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I heard that Mr. Cai intends to sell all the farms he owns?"

"Yes, my request is very simple. I have also told the steward beside you. When you buy my farm, I hope that Madam will keep the farmers who originally worked here." Mr. Cai said kindly.

Liu Yueru thought for a moment and remained silent.

Mr. Cai also explained: "I will give the old, weak, sick and disabled people a sum of money in advance to send them off. Those farmers are honest and hardworking. If they lose this job, they will have nowhere to go."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Cai. As long as they are willing to stay, I have no reason to drive them away. Besides, the farm needs someone to take care of it. The original team will be more familiar with the situation." Liu Yueru said generously.

Seeing that Liu Yueru was also a friendly person, Mr. Cai nodded in agreement.

"I wonder how much silver Mr. Cai is prepared to sell these farms for?" Liu Yueru asked.

"We are also anxious to get rid of it. I think Madam is aware of the current price of the farm in Kyoto." After saying this, Mr. Cai glanced at Liu Yueru tentatively.

Seeing that her expression did not change much, he continued, "Madam, are those conditions acceptable to you? Cai only wants 25 taels per acre. Do you think that's feasible?"

This price is a little lower than what I expected.

She quickly calculated in her mind: "Master Cai has a total of 130 acres of land, 25 taels per acre, a total of 3,250 taels."

Liu Yueru took a sip of tea and said, "Master Cai wants to sell it, and I want to buy it too. How about selling it to me for 3,200 taels?"

Mr. Cai thought that Liu Yueru would take the opportunity to lower the price, but he didn't expect that she would just let him deduct fifty taels from the price.

If I don’t sell it today, it will be difficult to meet someone like Liu Yueru again.

"That's settled then." Without saying a word, Mr. Cai asked the servant to present the land deed to Liu Yueru.

She took a look at it and found nothing wrong, so she asked Mother Yan to count the banknotes and hand them to Mr. Cai.

"From now on, these fields will all belong to the madam." Mr. Cai smiled heartily.

He called back all the people working in the fields and had them recognize the new master.

Liu Yueru just left the village.

When we went back, the sun was setting.

The carriage suddenly stopped.

Liu Yueru, who was resting with her eyes closed, nearly fell.

"Madam, are you okay?" Mother Yan asked hurriedly.

"What happened outside?" Liu Yueru asked in a calm voice.

Mother Yan glanced into the crowd and saw a small figure rushing towards them quickly.

Seeing who it was, Mother Yan hurriedly said to Liu Yueru, "It's the young master."

When she heard Xie Wenhua, a smile appeared in Liu Yueru's eyes.

She raised her hand and opened the curtain, and saw a magnified little face suddenly appearing in front of her.

Xie Wenhua immediately went in and called out obediently, "Auntie."

The group of servants that accompanied the carriage looked at it anxiously, but did not dare to act rashly.

Xie Wenhua's accompanying servant recognized Liu Yueru's personal mother and hurriedly stopped her: "It's Madam Song's carriage."

Liu Yueru also lifted the curtain lightly and said to the people outside: "I want to have a chat with the young master."

The servants finally had time to catch their breath and stood aside quietly waiting.

"Why did you sneak out again?" Liu Yueru gave Xie Wenhua an ambiguous look.

Xie Wenhua immediately crossed his arms over his chest and retorted fiercely: "Aunt, I didn't sneak out. My father promised me that if I went to the palace to accompany my studies, he would let me go out and play for a day."

Liu Yueru estimated the time. It was already this hour and he hadn't gone home yet. He was really playful.

"I'm sorry that your aunt misunderstood you. I've made you a brush as an apology." Liu Yueru smiled and stretched out her hand.

She couldn't help but pinch his fair, chubby little face.

Xie Wenhua happily hugged Liu Yueru's arm, his round eyes flashing with ripples as he stared at Liu Yueru.

"Aunt, it's still early. Can I go back with you to get it?" Xie Wenhua said expectantly.

Liu Yueru frowned slightly and refused: "Wait until the rest is done, and I will send someone to deliver it to the palace. You'd better go back honestly. If you are late, your father and mother will be worried."

Xie Wenhua suddenly turned away angrily.

Seen from the side, it looked like a groundhog, which made Liu Yueru laugh.

When I first met him, his stern face looked as if he wanted to keep strangers away. Who would have thought that he had such a cute side.

"Don't mention my mother to me. She is just a woman who only knows how to stir up trouble and try to get into my father's bed!" Xie Wenhua said suddenly.

Liu Yueru was stunned and hurriedly advised him: "Young Master, don't say this nonsense when you go out in the future."

Xie Wenhua's face darkened: "Call me Hua Ge'er, Young Master, that's too formal. We are so familiar with each other, but Auntie still calls me like that. I will be unhappy."

"Okay, okay, Hua brother." Liu Yueru changed her words helplessly.

"My father has never been with my mother, not even when they eat. The maids in the mansion all say that I was not born by her." Xie Wenhua suddenly lowered his head, his eyes red.

Tears flowed uncontrollably: "Aunt, is it because mother doesn't like me that she wants to throw me away?"

Seeing Xie Wenhua's tears, Liu Yueru felt a sudden pain in her heart, and she slowly wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Every mother loves her child the most." Liu Yueru soothed in a gentle voice.

Xie Wenhua's tears suddenly stopped and he looked at her eagerly: "Will my mother come back to me one day?"

Liu Yueru suddenly had the urge to hug him, but Xie Wenhua was not her son after all, so she couldn't...
