Chapter 246 The Mad Couple 10
Ji Xiaosong looked at the contract and laughed, "Young Master Wu, aren't you afraid that General Wu will hold you accountable? This courtyard isn't cheap."
“I’ll say it again: my father had many children and three wives. He spent a lot of money every day, which would have been better spent on what was truly needed. Besides, his granddaughter did something so shameful, so he should be the one to clean up the mess.”
After Wu Chufeng finished speaking, he led Ji Xiaosong into the courtyard, introducing the place as they walked:
"Although this courtyard is not large, it is quiet and suitable for you to stay temporarily. Since you are new to the capital, it will be more convenient for you to stay here."
Ji Xiaosong followed behind Wu Chufeng, her gaze sweeping over the layout of the courtyard.
This is a small courtyard with one entrance. Although it is not large, it is cleverly laid out and exudes elegance in every corner.
The courtyard gate faces south, and upon entering, there is a screen wall with simple patterns carved on it, which not only blocks the view of outsiders but also adds a sense of privacy.
Beyond the screen wall lies a small courtyard, in the center of which stands an old locust tree with lush foliage that blocks most of the sunlight, creating a refreshingly cool atmosphere.
On the east side of the courtyard is a main room, whose doors and windows are decorated with exquisite patterns, giving it a simple and elegant appearance.
The main house is divided into three rooms: the central room is the hall, and the left and right sides are the bedroom and study, respectively.
The hall was furnished with an eight-immortal table and several chairs, and several landscape paintings hung on the wall, giving it an exceptionally elegant feel.
To the west of the courtyard is a side room, simply furnished with only a bed and a table, clearly intended for servants or guests to stay temporarily.
Next to the side room was a small kitchen, fully equipped with pots, pans, and utensils, clearly prepared with care.
On the north side of the courtyard is a low wall with a small door leading to a small backyard.
The backyard wasn't big, but it was filled with a few flowers and plants, making it look particularly vibrant.
There is a well in one corner of the backyard, with crystal-clear water, which is obviously the main source of daily water.
Wu Chufeng led Ji Xiaosong around the courtyard, his tone tinged with smugness:
"How is it? This yard is pretty good, isn't it? Although it's not big, it has everything you need, enough for you to live comfortably."
Ji Xiaosong nodded, her tone tinged with approval: "Indeed excellent, thank you for your trouble, Young Master Wu."
"Now that we have a place to stay, let's go eat. We've been busy all day, and we're starving."
Ignoring Ji Xiaosong's reaction, Wu Chufeng took her directly to the most bustling restaurant on the street, the famous Zuixianlou.
The restaurant was bustling with noise and filled with delicious aromas, and the waiters were so busy they barely had time to breathe.
Wu Chufeng was clearly a regular here; as soon as he entered, a waiter greeted him with a beaming smile.
"Young Master Wu, it's been a while since you last visited! What would you like to eat today?"
Wu Chufeng waved his hand and said in a hearty tone, "Bring out all your signature dishes! And two more pots of the finest Daughter's Red wine!"
Upon hearing this, the waiter's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly nodded and bowed.
"Alright! Please wait a moment, Young Master Wu, I'll arrange it for you right away!"
Ji Xiaosong stood aside, watching Wu Chufeng order food with great gusto, a smile flashing in her eyes.
She didn't stand on ceremony and followed Wu Chufeng directly to the private room on the second floor.
The private room was tastefully decorated, with several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls and an exquisite tea set on the table.
After Wu Chufeng sat down, he casually picked up the teapot and poured Ji Xiaosong a cup of tea, his tone carrying a hint of teasing:
"Miss Ji, please don't be shy and eat as much as you like. The dishes at Zuixianlou are the best in the capital."
Ji Xiaosong smiled slightly and said calmly, "Young Master Wu, rest assured, my daughter will not be polite."
Not long after, the waiter brought in the dishes.
The table was filled with a variety of delicious and visually appealing dishes, their aromas irresistible and tempting to the palate.
Ji Xiaosong looked at the table full of dishes, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "Young Master Wu, are there enough dishes for the two of us to finish?"
She counted them, and there were more than thirty dishes in there!
Wu Chufeng smiled, his tone carrying a hint of magnanimity: "Miss Ji, don't worry, I, Wu Chufeng, may not have any other skills, but I have a big appetite. Eat as much as you like, and if you can't finish it, it's on me!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaosong said no more and picked up her chopsticks to start eating.
Although she looked thin, she had an unusually large appetite.
The two of them took turns using their chopsticks, and in no time they had devoured all the dishes on the table.
When the waiter came in to clear the dishes, he saw the empty plates on the table and his eyes widened in disbelief: "Young Master Wu, you...you two, what happened..."
Wu Chufeng waved his hand, a hint of smugness in his voice: "What, never seen someone who can eat so much? Go, bring me two more plates of pastries!"
The waiter hurriedly nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, Young Master Wu, please wait a moment, I'll serve you right away!"
Ji Xiaosong watched the waiter's hurried departure, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes:
"Young Master Wu, it seems your appetite has even surprised the waiter."
Wu Chufeng laughed heartily, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing:
"Miss Ji, you have quite an appetite! It seems we really are kindred spirits."
This meal brought the two of them closer.
Ji Xiaosong was still thinking about her younger sister at the inn. After saying goodbye to Wu Chufeng, she changed her clothes and went to the inn to bring her sister, Ji Ji Xiaohua, to the new courtyard.
When Ji Xiaohua walked into the new courtyard, her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
Looking around at the exquisite screen wall, the cool courtyard, the simple and elegant main house, and the crystal-clear well, I couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Sister, is this...is this really our yard?"
"Of course it's true. Look, this is a contract, written clearly in black and white."
As Ji Xiaosong spoke, he handed the contract in his hand to Ji Xiaohua.
Ji Xiaohua took the contract, examined it carefully, and her eyes were filled with shock:
"Sister, how much does this courtyard cost? Where are we going to get the money?"
"Xiaohua, don't worry. This courtyard was given to us as compensation by General Wu's family."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaohua's expression changed instantly, and her voice carried a hint of panic:
"Sister, why would General Wu be willing to compensate us? Then... what about Li Zhixiao's matter? Aren't we going to seek justice from him?"
A cold glint flashed in Ji Xiaosong's eyes, and his tone carried a deeper meaning:
"Xiaohua, don't worry. I have my own plans for Li Zhixiao's matter. This courtyard is just the first step. Next, I will make him pay a much higher price."
"Sister, are you really sure? Lee Ji-hyo has now climbed up to the general's granddaughter. We... we can't beat them."
"Xiaohua, believe me. I will collect all the debts owed to Li Zhixiao and Xiao Mumu, one by one. This courtyard is just the beginning."
