Chapter 12 Selling the Mansion
When I reached the front hall.
Chen Bo was trying his best to persuade them.
“Your Highnesses, our Little Miss really isn’t convenient right now. Why don’t you go back first?”
Jing Xuan walked beside me, calm and composed.
My courtyard walls were built higher than the others.
Mother had instructed it.
On top of the walls were rows of spear tips—sharp enough to stab anyone.
I glanced at Jing Xuan.
Before my eyes could drop lower, he cut in.
“What’s wrong with crawling through the dog hole? Haven’t you done it before?”
I hadn’t.
Never mind.
I called Chen Bo and told him to go handle other matters.
When Jing Can saw me, he turned his head away, tone hard to read.
“It’s just a trip to Jiangnan. Did you have to abandon the whole mansion too?”
“If you ever come back later, are you going to live in an inn?”
I pressed my lips together.
I’d almost forgotten.
They must have heard I was going to Jiangnan.
After returning from the palace.
Besides dismissing the household staff, I told Chen Bo to sell this General’s Mansion as well.
The broker said the buyer was already settled.
We just had to go to the government office and sign the red deed on the day we left.
“Second Brother always says wealth is external. These burdensome things shouldn’t be kept.”
“Oh right, how’s the wound in Miss Jiang’s palm these past few days?”
If Jing Can had arrived even a little later that day.
The scrape on Jiang Siwan’s palm might have already healed.
