He paused and glanced at Song Jingchen in disdain. Why did he need to be so good-looking?

He snorted and continued, “Although it’s a little difficult to find someone better-looking than him, we can find two people who are inferior to him. If you think two are not enough, find three. If three are not enough, then four. Four…

Wouldn’t that add up and be able to compete with him?”

Song Jingchen’s face darkened. He thought of Shen Yijia’s ambition to raise many husbands even when she was asleep. So this was the source.

Shen Yijia pinched her fingers. “It’s too late.”

It was rare that she didn’t retort.

Xuanyuan Ce thought that there was a chance and walked towards her excitedly. “How can it be too late…”

“Of course it’s because I’ve long been eaten up by him. Not to mention bones, there aren’t even any crumbs left.” Shen Yijia glared at him and ran to Song Jingchen. She held his face and kissed it. “Hubby, why are you so smart?” Xuanyuan Ce was speechless.

Song Jingchen’s face was a little hot. He hadn’t “eaten” anything yet.

He clenched his fists and coughed lightly. He lowered his voice and said,

“Mother-in-law is watching.”

“It’s fine. Mother won’t mind.” Shen Yijia looked at Ji Luo. “Right, Mother?”

Ji Luo’s eyelids twitched. She ignored Xuanyuan Ce’s gaze and took a sip of tea.

“Right. ”

A knock sounded at the door.

The waiter pushed open the door and entered.

“Sirs, your dishes are ready. Shall I serve the dishes now?”

Chu Feng nodded at him.

Soon, the table was filled with delicacies.

It had been mentioned before that there was naturally a lot of seafood along the coast of the Xuanyuan Kingdom. Most of them were things Shen Yijia had never seen before.

Seeing that she was curious about everything, Xuanyuan Ce felt very upset.

His daughter should have lived a luxurious life and been raised like a princess, not..

Thinking of this, he blamed himself and hated the Valley of Heavenly Secrets even more.

Shen Yijia didn’t know what he was thinking, nor did she care. With Song Jingchen helping her peel the prawns and crab shells, she ate happily.

After dinner, Xuanyuan Ziming woke up.

Having learned his lesson, he did not dare to speak nonsense anymore. He guessed that Shen Yijia and the others had yet to find a place to stay, so he immediately suggested letting them stay in his prince’s residence.

Hearing him brag about how good his residence was, Xuanyuan Ce wished he could throw him out of the window.

“Are you under the impression that my residence doesn’t even have a few empty courtyards?”

Xuanyuan Ziming, who was talking enthusiastically, was speechless.

“Hehe, Imperial Uncle’s residence was personally chosen by Father. He personally drew up a sketch and ordered the Ministry of Works to spend a lot of money to build it. It’s naturally more comfortable to live in than my prince’s residence. ”

These words didn’t reflect the entire truth. Apart from the palace, there was probably no other mansion in the Xuanyuan Kingdom that was more luxurious than Lord Jing’an’s residence.

As for the location, one could probably see the palace door after walking for half an hour.

If not for the fact that it was against the rules, Xuanyuan Ziming would have suspected that his father wished he could make room in the palace to build a residence for his uncle.

“Hmph, so..

Before he could finish, the door of the private room was pushed open again. MO Yuan and Thirty Thousand, who had disappeared as soon as they entered the inn, walked in.

“Master, we’ve found a residence.”

Xuanyuan Ce was stunned. “What residence? Aren’t you living with me?”

“When did we say that we were going to live in your residence?” Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. She thought of something and said angrily, “Earlier, we hadn’t even entered the Xuanyuan Kingdom yet, but they’ve already accused us of stealing and wanted to arrest us. If we really live in your residence, they’re gonna come after us if anything goes missing.”

“What do you mean?” Xuanyuan Ce was puzzled by her words and looked at Song Jingchen suspiciously.

Song Jingchen glanced at Shen Yijia and didn’t say anything.

Shen Yijia said, “It means what it means.”

The new residence was a small courtyard with two entrances. It was very clean inside and out. One could live in it after cleaning up a little.

The layout was a little similar to Ji Luo’s courtyard in Phoenix Town. It was divided into the front and back courtyards. There weren’t that many rooms, but there was a study and a tea room here.

It was obvious that the person who lived here previously was a scholar.

“There’s a poetry club less than 500 meters away from the side door. There are often scholars who go there to meet people,” Thirty Thousand said.

This confirmed Song Jingchen’s guess.

Apart from those, there were three other rooms. Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia had one, Ji Luo had one, and the remaining room was given to MO Yuan. The tea room was tidied up for Thirty Thousand to stay in.

It was just right.

Shen Yijia was very satisfied with this place, but then she heard that this residence would cost 80 taels of silver a month..
