“Reining in and taking control.” Gu Chengrui was slightly surprised when he heard her words but quickly understood what she meant.

From the looks of it, the Emperor’s actions were to suppress the princes and even sow discord between them so that he could stay on the throne longer.

Of course, the Emperor was also using the couple and also trying to control them.

It seemed that making the old thing faint and vomit blood once was still too light of a punishment.

“Oh, right,” Zhou Ying added. “Yang Wanning will bring her brother, Yang Chenglin, to visit us the day after tomorrow.”

“I was just about to discuss this with you. Since the Emperor has given us a residence, should we move out?”

“Let’s go over and take a look first. If we can live there, we’ll go over. If we can’t, we’ll take the time to repair it.”

“Alright, let’s take a look after dinner.” Gu Chengrui nodded.

After the meal, the two brought Granny Ma from the courtyard to look for their bestowed residence. They didn’t expect that it was in the alley beside the Third Prince’s residence; it was a three-entrance residence.

The two had just entered when a white-haired old man with a crippled leg walked out. He sized Gu Chengrui up and asked, “Are you Scholar Gu Chengrui?”

“That’s right. I’m him. You’re the old man who guards this residence. Uncle Zheng, right?”

“Yes, yes, that’s me. I cleaned the residence up after receiving the notice. Come, 1’11 bring you guys in for a walk.” After Uncle Zheng finished speaking, he led them into the residence.

After entering, they counted eleven rooms.

While on the way to the second entrance of the residence,

They noticed a rockery pond on the east side that covered half an acre of land. Some lotus roots were planted in it, some goldfish were swimming around, and two pavilions were built over it.

On the west side was a bamboo forest with two adjacent courtyards.

The second entrance of the residence had three independent courtyards that were connected by corridors. The central courtyard had five rooms, while the two side courtyards only had three.

From the two sides of the corridor to the back, a large garden occupied an area of about one acre.

On the left side of the backyard were the servant rooms.

On the right were the stable and a warehouse.

When they finished looking at the entire residence, they knew it was pretty well preserved, and they could move in with just a bit more cleaning.

After the couple finished looking around, they were surprised. Overall, this residence was more than decent, so Zhou Ying asked curiously, “Uncle Zheng, who did this residence belong to before?”

“The previous owner was Princess Ping Yang. It was her dowry.” Uncle Zheng replied.

The husband and wife looked at each other and understood why the specifications of a three-entry residence were so grand.

“Are you alone here now?”

“Yes, I’m the only one here. When 1 have nothing to do, I’ll help to air the rooms. When something breaks, I’ll find someone to mend it. It’s quite an easy job.”

“Will you continue to stay?”

Uncle Zheng shook his head. “No, I don’t have an official position, and I’m still working as a bailiff. After you’ve checked and accepted it, 1’11 have to report back.”

“If that’s the case, please help us guard it for two more days. We’ll officially take over in two days.” Gu Chengrui asked.

“Then it’s settled.” Uncle Zheng nodded and led them out.

After coming out, Zhou Ying looked at the old woman who followed her and said, “Granny Ma, do you know where to buy firewood?”

“You want to buy firewood?” Granny Ma paused momentarily and replied, “Someone specially delivers the firewood to our manor at a fair price. Why don’t we ask them to deliver some to you directly? It saves us the trouble of bargaining.”

“That’s a good idea. I’ll heed your advice.” Zhou Ying nodded.

After returning, the husband and wife requested Granny Ma to help them pass a message to the kitchen. The husband and wife found Butlet Feng and asked him to introduce them to a group of masons and carpenters.

After that, the two went to the shop the Emperor had rewarded them..
