Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 418: Qin Kaize Already Bought the Yard House

Su Yijia didn’t want to argue about this anymore and proudly lifted her head, "What I should do is none of your business! My husband and my family haven’t said anything yet. The country doesn’t oppose married people going to college. In fact, it even agrees that those who have had children can continue their education. If you really think there’s a problem, then go argue with the higher-ups. What are you blabbering about in front of me?! Do you believe I don’t dare beat you up?"

As Su Yijia spoke, she suddenly kicked toward Jiao Jingye, who was still lying on the ground. He trembled in fear and shrank back. The people nearby couldn’t help but stifle their laughter.

Jiao Jingye’s face turned black with embarrassment. But he couldn’t win the argument or the fight. All he could do was grit his teeth and remain silent.

Once Qin Kaize and Su Yijia sat back down, he wanted to pull Pang Tongtong aside to say something. However, as soon as she glanced over, she hurriedly shifted away from him, her face openly showing her disdain.

Jiao Jingye was so angry he nearly cursed. But he was arrogant, not stupid. Just because he viewed Pang Tongtong as his future wife didn’t mean she really was. He secretly decided that when they got to college, even if Pang Tongtong begged him, he would never take a look at her again.

Because Su Yijia and Qin Kaize had shown their fierceness to everyone in the train car, no one dared to bother them for the next three days and two nights. Even if they acted slightly affectionate or had slightly better food, everyone pretended not to see anything.

The train swayed its way into Jingdu City. When they got off the train, there were already people waiting for them outside the station. Two cars and two people. After exchanging pleasantries, they led them directly, saying they were going home.

Now they were entering the territory of the Mu and Wang families. Before any troubles arose, they definitely had to minimize the chances of encountering issues. So Su Yijia didn’t suggest going to eat at any state-owned restaurants or fancy places like Beijing Hotel, nor did she mention roast duck or Western restaurants. Instead, she said she wanted to cook a few dishes at home and eat together with everyone.

"Sister-in-law, you just arrived; you need to rest well. We’ll have the opportunity to disturb you again later," the young man driving said hastily.

Su Yijia wanted to be polite, but Qin Kaize said, "Yes, just take us home today. I’ll be in Jingdu City for a while; we’ll have plenty of chances to get together later."

So, was this something they had to keep secret? Su Yijia felt a hint of suspicion rise in her heart, planning to ask Qin Kaize about it when they got home.

These days, there were hardly any places to park in the alleys. The entrance, which used to be just wide enough for one car, was now flanked by shops selling various goods. There were firewood for winter, cooking stoves, and pots—completely packed.

Not to mention driving in; even walking into the area wasn’t very spacious. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

When Su Yijia and the others got out of the car, their luggage was carried by Qin Kaize and his two brothers. They walked inward, attracting the gaze of many people. Those gazes were probing, assessing, and even tinged with jealousy.

Su Yijia found it quite strange. This was their first visit; they shouldn’t have offended anyone, right?

It wasn’t until they stopped in front of a freshly painted red door that she understood why.

Pushing open the door, they were greeted by a bluestone shadow wall. Behind them was a long row of rooms arranged in reverse. To the left was an archway leading to a particularly large courtyard connected to a flower-laden gate. Straight ahead, through the archway, was another courtyard that was twice the size of the previous one.

To the side was a covered walkway. Passing through the flower-laden gate, they faced a two-story main house. The bottom was a hall, and the upper was the master bedroom. The side rooms were also two stories high.

On both sides of the inner courtyard were large wing rooms, which, although only one story, were quite spacious. From the small path behind the side rooms, there were also two-story back rooms and a backyard.

The entire three-entry yard house covered about 2,500 square meters. Although it had been tidied up, one could imagine how many families had lived here before.

"We’re the only ones living in this whole courtyard?" Grandma Lin asked, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"Yes, the eldest bought this place a few months ago and had it tidied up," the young man beside her quickly replied.

At that time, they hadn’t been notified that the National College Entrance Examination would be restored. The eldest didn’t say he was completely reinstated or could return to the team. He only told them to investigate the Mu and Wang families.

They thought it wasn’t necessary to live here permanently to confront those two families. After all, a strong dragon can hardly crush a local snake. Furthermore, the Mu and Wang families were definitely not locals.

But the eldest was particularly insistent. With no other choice, they had to find ways to inquire and see if there was a large yard house available. Fortunately, in August, those who had left returned. They finally found someone willing to sell.

However, at that time, the place was filled with people—about forty households, nearly two hundred people in total. They used many methods to get those people out. In the meantime, they had to endure some retaliatory actions. It wasn’t until they thoroughly defeated those who resisted that no one dared to lay claim to the courtyard anymore.

"Such a good place, will it cause us trouble if we live here?" Grandpa Lin asked seriously.

Although it had been officially relaxed now, living in such a courtyard still felt overly extravagant. This wasn’t a place an ordinary family could inhabit. Only former princes or top officials could enjoy such a fine place.

"It won’t. This yard house was returned to its original owner by the higher-ups. The original owner just didn’t want to live here anymore, which is why they sold it to us," the young man explained.

If they hadn’t confirmed that it had been returned by the higher-ups, they wouldn’t have even considered buying it. If they were found out, it would be quite troublesome for their eldest to handle.

"Then thank you so much! When you have time, I’ll cook a feast for you all," Su Yijia said, her eyes sparkling with gratitude as she looked at them.

The two young men felt a bit embarrassed under her gaze. Rubbing the back of their heads, they placed the things back in the main house and said, "Then, elder brother and sister-in-law, we’ll take our leave. We’ll come to visit again when we have time."

"Okay! When you have time, you must come to play; don’t be polite with us," Su Yijia smiled.

They quickly agreed. Then, one of them pulled out a thick envelope from his pocket and handed it to Qin Kaize.

"Boss, this is a letter that arrived here with your name on it. We were afraid someone would take it, so we kept it for you."
