Ding Gaochang instructed, “Also, call more people tomorrow to avoid any messes. After bringing him back later, summon some people to persuade those at the entrance of the Government Office to leave.”

“Yes, Master,” responded the two government officials.

One of them, named Shen Quan, praised, “Miss Zhuang is really clear-headed. When we first met, I thought we had found the wrong person. I didn’t expect such a young lady.”

“Yes, I didn’t expect that either.” Shi Bao agreed, “Looking at Miss Zhuang’s demeanor, she seems to have a solution. I suppose tomorrow’s matter should be successful.”

“Hmm.” Ding Gaochang nodded.

I do hope so.

“Also, in addition to what Miss Zhuang said earlier, Shi Bao, you should go to the cloth shop and get a face veil for tomorrow,” Ding Gaochang ordered.

“Oh?” Shi Bao was surprised, “Why is that?”

“Miss Zhuang’s actions will certainly provoke reprisal from the charlatan’s gang. Even if we want to clear them out, we might not be able to do so completely. If Miss Zhuang is implicated in this matter again, it would be very inappropriate.”

Ding Gaochang explained, “Have Miss Zhuang cover her face with a light veil during her journey. Unknown to others, she will naturally be safe, and we can consider this as our part in looking out for her.”

“Yes, Master Ding’s consideration is thorough. I will prepare it when I get back,” Shi Bao agreed.

“Also, things may be very chaotic tomorrow. You all must protect Miss Zhuang first,” Ding Gaochang ordered.

“Yes.” Shen Quan and Shi Bao gave a loud affirmative reply.

After giving a few more instructions, the three of them arrived at the County Government Office and went about their duties.

Zhuang Qingning was busy in the shop until Zhuang Sifu brought the goods over, and they returned home together.

After a short rest, Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui went to check on their new house.

The house was completely built by this time. The walls inside were already plastered with white lime, the doors and windows had been installed, and everything inside and outside had been cleaned up. The furniture that Zhuang Qingning had entrusted Ye Dayong to custom-make had also been neatly arranged.

They would wait for the delivery of the rest of the furniture and little items for decoration.

Zhuang Qingning added all the necessary items she could think of temporarily, and for those that she couldn’t, she planned to move in first and gradually add whatever she needed later.

In the courtyard, the stone table and stone bench she wanted were already set up, and the ground was paved with blue bricks. The place left for planting flowers, the corner for growing vegetables, and the trees she planned to plant were all done.

Two Osmanthus trees that hadn’t grown yet, a few peach and apricot trees, and several grapevines suggested by Ye Dayong were all planted. Two large water tanks were set up in the yard, with lotus plants moved into them.

At this moment, the lotus leaves were verdant, the lotus buds were about to bloom, and they reflected the slowly setting sunset, making a beautiful scene. Below the lotus leaves were several small Koi, swimming lively.

Zhuang Qingsui strolled around the courtyard for a long circuit, and finally bounced to Zhuang Qingning’s side, “Sister, our new house is built very well, and the courtyard is beautifully arranged, but I think we’re missing something.”
