Chapter 998 Chic Courtyard
Seeing Chai Yan coming down from upstairs, Meng Ruhu and Aunt Mei, who had been waiting at the entrance of the stairs, immediately came over to greet him. Aunt Mei was holding a wooden box in her hand.
Meng Ruhu gestured to the wooden box in Aunt Mei's hand and said with a smile: "Sir, this is Die Wu's body contract. Please take a look at it."
Aunt Mei immediately presented the wooden box.
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "No need, Diewu will still be from Rouxiangyuan from now on."
After that, Chai Yan walked towards the gate.
Meng Ruhu and Aunt Mei looked at each other blankly, both at a loss. They were wondering what was going on. Didn't they agree to take Diewu away?
Meng Ruhu immediately winked at Aunt Mei and said softly: "Hurry up and ask what's going on with Diewu and whether he has angered Mr. Chai!"
"Hey..." Aunt Mei hurriedly agreed, holding the wooden box and heading upstairs.
Meng Ruhu quickly chased Chai Yan out of the gate of Rouxiang Courtyard.
Meng Ruhu didn't know what happened just now, so he didn't dare to talk randomly and ask questions. He could only follow Chai Yan cautiously, secretly observing Chai Yan's face, and adapting accordingly.
After walking along the street for a while, Chai Yan suddenly saw a stall selling rice cakes.
When he walked over and saw that the rice cakes were quite fragrant, Chai Yan's appetite was immediately aroused.
"Boss, here are two rice cakes, don't wrap them together, separate them..." Chai Yan happened to be a little hungry.
Meng Ruhu was very sensible and immediately took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and placed them on the stall.
The stall owner quickly packed two pieces of rice cakes for Chai Yan. Chai Yan took the rice cakes, turned around and handed one to Meng Ruhu.
"Sir, please eat. I'm not hungry, little one." Meng Ruhu didn't dare to accept it.
Chai Yan said with a sullen face: "You have to eat even if you're not hungry. Come with me."
Meng Ruhu did not dare to disobey, so he had to catch the rice cake and started eating it while walking with Chai Yan.
While chewing rice cakes, Chai Yan said, "By the way, Chief Meng Li, is the house you mentioned far away?"
Meng Ruhu said hurriedly: "It's not far, sir. If you go directly from here, you can get there within a quarter of an hour."
"That's it..." Chai Yan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Then you lead the way. I'll take a look by the way."
Meng Ruhu was very happy and immediately pointed to the fork in the road not far ahead and said: "Sir, turn left at the intersection ahead and keep going straight ahead!"
After turning left at the intersection, the two walked for a while and saw a quite new house.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I will order someone to open the door immediately." Meng Ruhu said respectfully.
After Chai Yan nodded, Meng Ruhu went to call the door.
Not long after, the door of the house opened, and Meng Ruhu ran back to Chai Yan and said enthusiastically: "Sir, please."
After entering, Chai Yan discovered that the house arranged by Meng Ruhu was much larger than he had imagined. There were unique small gardens in the front yard, atrium, and backyard, with different shapes of rockeries, curved flowing water, and various trees and flowers creating a beautiful scenery.
It's very pleasant and makes people feel very comfortable!
After walking around for a while, Chai Yan returned to the small garden in the atrium.
Chai Yan stood on a small stone arch bridge in the garden, looking at a clear trickle of water flowing below, and couldn't help asking: "Meng Lichang, your house is nice... No,
I should say it’s pretty good and very unique!”
Meng Ruhu stood aside and was immediately elated when he heard Chai Yan's praise.
But he did not dare to show joy on his face. He just bowed and held his hands in his hands, humbly saying: "My lord, this is just a small, crude courtyard."
"Meng Lichang, are you really willing to let me live in such a beautiful courtyard?" Chai Yan asked with a smile.
Meng Ruhu did not straighten up, but continued to hold his hands, and said in a sincere tone: "The master did not blame the villain for the matter of the dog and the little girl. The villain has shed tears of gratitude. Now I can only repay the kindness of the master with all my heart!"
Chai Yan smiled slightly and decided: "In this case, let's move here early tomorrow morning. We can't let down Meng Lichang's wishes!"
"Don't worry, adults. Before tomorrow, all the villains here will send people to make arrangements and take care of them so that the adults can live comfortably and feel at home." Meng Ruhu assured very seriously.

On the other side, Hang Baiqiu left Wu Sansheng's house and quickly returned to Gaopeng Inn.
Not long after entering the door, Hang Baiqiu heard that Chai Yan had been invited out by Meng Ruhu. She suddenly started to murmur in her heart and her face gradually darkened.
Hang Baiqiu hated people like Meng Ruhu from the bottom of his heart, not only because of the behavior of his son and daughter, but also because of Meng Ruhu's slavishness and flattery.
The more Hang Baiqiu thought about it, the unhappy he became, so he simply asked for a pot of tea, sat at a table in the hall and waited quietly.
But after finishing the pot of tea, Chai Yan still didn't come back. Instead, he saw a waiter from Rouxiangyuan.
The waiter came to invite Hong Biao to Rouxiangyuan. He said that Miss Diewu wanted to see him and tell him something very important.
When Hong Biao came down from upstairs, he was still in a sleepy state, but as soon as he heard that Die Wu wanted to see him, his sleepiness disappeared and he happily followed the waiter.
Hang Baiqiu looked at Hong Biao walking away, and couldn't help but scorned Die Wu in his heart.
Not long after Hong Biao left, Chai Yan came back, and it was Meng Ruhu who sent him back.
Chai Yan dismissed Meng Ruhu and walked into the inn to find Hang Baiqiu staring at him coldly.
"Hey, Chief Hang, are you back?" Chai Yan immediately changed direction and walked over with a smile.
Hang Baiqiu glanced outside the door and asked in a deep voice: "How much money did he receive?"
"Who took the cash?" Chai Yan immediately understood why Hang Baiqiu had this expression.
Hang Baiqiu didn't believe it, curled his lips and said: "Confiscated money? Then what are you going out with him for? Don't tell me that you are going to recite poems to make trouble, that you are arty!"
"That's it?" Chai Yan sat down at the table, supported his chin with one hand, and said calmly: "Although his money was confiscated, he received a nice house. We will move there early tomorrow morning...
."
"What?"
Hang Baiqiu was shocked. He immediately slapped the table and stood up. He pointed at Chai Yan's nose and said angrily: "Chai Yan, you are too courageous!"
When Chai Yan saw that she was serious, he quickly laughed and said: "Hey, hey, sir, don't get angry yet, I'm joking with you..."
"Are you kidding?" Hang Baiqiu was stunned.
Chai Yan quickly explained the situation in detail, and repeatedly emphasized that Meng Ruhu borrowed his house to live in, rather than giving the house to him.
"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Hang Baiqiu was doubtful.
Chai Yan said distressedly: "I didn't lie to you! Don't even think about it. We will return to the capital in a while. What's the use of asking for his house? If you want to charge me, you have to pay in cash!"
"I knew you were still thinking about this!" Hang Baiqiu shouted.
"No, no..." Chai Yan quickly denied.
Hang Baiqiu asked puzzledly: "I live well here, why do I want to move suddenly?"
Chai Yan slowly shook his head and said: "It's not as good as you said. There are so many people in the inn. It's very inconvenient for a girl to live in a house like yours... I see that house.
After all, the garden is unique and there is also a small independent yard, which is just right for you to live in!"
Hang Baiqiu suddenly remembered something, his face turned red, and he couldn't help but look away, and said in embarrassment: "I...I live here very well, there is no...no inconvenience."
