Time Travel: Pampered by the Aloof Prince-Chapter 80 - What Kind of Mansion Does the Princess Want

The next morning, after having breakfast, Manager Wang bid them farewell.

Qi Yu stood in front of the Prince Residence watching the carriage grow more distant, feeling a longing, “I really want to visit Jiangnan.”

In her previous life, she had lived in a small town in Jiangnan for over twenty years and was extremely familiar with the local environment and customs.

Having been in this world for so long, she had always stayed in the capital city and nearly forgotten what the outside world looked like.

Upon hearing her words, Master Li said with a smile, “That’s not difficult, let the Prince take you there after the New Year.”

Qi Yu widened her eyes in surprise, “Really?”

Master Li nodded, “Of course, my princess, don’t worry, there’s nothing the Prince can’t do.”

It was just a trip to Jiangnan, not something difficult.

Qi Yu did not reply.

It was the end of the year now, and the capital was too busy; Li Mingjue simply could not leave.

Moreover, she had things to take care of.

Even if she truly wanted to go, it would only be possible next year.

Thinking of the Medical Hall, she perked up, returned to her room to change into a new outfit, and had Chunlan apply makeup so that she would be unrecognizable.

Chunlan looked at the Qi Yu in the mirror, who had gradually transformed into a young gentleman, somewhat puzzled, “Princess, you are so beautiful, why disguise your appearance?”

In this world, which woman doesn’t want to appear more beautiful, yet their princess always looked to make herself uglier.

Qi Yu looked at the mirror, feeling that the makeup was still too white, and personally added some dark powder to her face.

“It’s because I’m beautiful that I need to cover up.

I have important things to deal with when I go out, and it wouldn’t be good to be recognized.”

Chunlan nodded without fully understanding, trusting that following the princess’s lead was never wrong.

Qi Yu, carrying silver, and Song Ling, also in disguise, slipped out of the back door.

She didn’t bring anyone else, but she knew that the Hidden Guards of the Prince Residence would be covertly protecting them, so she walked boldly.

“What kind of house does the princess want?” Song Ling followed her, somewhat confused, and asked in a hushed tone.

Qi Yu covered her face with a folded fan and said, “Don’t call me princess when we’re outside.”

Song Ling looked around nervously, “Then what should I call you?”

Qi Yu remembered the identity she had made up last time, her eyes twinkled, and she spoke lightly, “Just call me ‘Young Master’.”

“Alright…” Song Ling shook his head and just went along with her.

Although Qi Yu had lived in the capital city for a few months, she didn’t go out often, and when she did, she only visited a few specific places.

Fortunately, during the years Song Ling served as an official, he had nearly explored the entire capital city.

Combined with his good memory, he was actually able to find several nice residences.

“Princess…

Sir, this is a residence with three courtyards and three entrances, located at West Street.

The environment is good, and there are many people coming and going,” Song Ling pointed to the somewhat dilapidated ancient mansion in front of them.

This mansion was previously inhabited by a wealthy merchant, but due to his descendants’ extravagant spending and failed businesses, it fell into decline.

Five years ago, when Song Ling had first learned about this mansion, it was already for sale.

But perhaps because the mansion’s Feng Shui was poor and it was rumored that people had died there, it was often said to be haunted in the dead of night.

Wealthy people were reluctant to buy it, fearing it would affect their own fortune.

So, five years later, the mansion still hadn’t been sold.

Qi Yu, who had some knowledge of Feng Shui, took a careful look and found that the mansion didn’t have any serious issues; it was presumably just psychological effects at play.

She put away her folding fan and tapped on her palm, “Let’s settle for this one.”

At the broker’s, Qi Yu didn’t beat around the bush and directly stated she wanted to buy that mansion.

The broker, Mr.

Li, noticing her distinguished air, knew she was someone not short of silver.

No one had inquired about that mansion for five years, and now that someone finally wanted to buy it, he jubilantly said, “I will first take the sir around the place.

That mansion is truly a Feng Shui treasure!”

Today, determined to sell the mansion, he thought, “Otherwise, I’ll really take a loss with it in my hands.”

Qi Yu and Song Ling exchanged looks, both fully aware of his intentions.

Having returned to West Street, Mr.

Li opened the gates of the mansion, and they were greeted by a wave of mustiness that was tangibly corrosive.

Mr.

Li frowned with distaste, covering his nose and mouth with his sleeve.

Remembering that he was there to sell the mansion, he reluctantly lowered his hand and said with forced enthusiasm, “Please come inside.”

Qi Yu walked in unchanged in expression, with Song Ling accompanying her, and together they inspected the mansion thoroughly.

It looked decent from the outside, but the inside was indeed in a state of severe disrepair.

Fortunately, the mansion had good lighting, and with some refurbishment of the interior scenery, it could still be presentable.

When Mr.

Li initially took over the mansion, that family had already sold it at a low price.

Now, as he sat in the front hall, he pondered over the price to offer, hoping to both sell the mansion and make a bit more profit.

Qi Yu and Song Ling had finished their inspection.

As soon as they returned to the front hall, Mr.

Li quickly stood to greet them, ingratiatingly smiling, “Do the sirs find it satisfactory?”

Qi Yu deliberately frowned, posing as if she was reluctant to give her opinion.

Song Ling understood and slowly began, “My lord thinks the location of this mansion is still acceptable, but it’s too old.”

Mr.

Li’s smile froze on his face and, swallowing hard, he quickly said, “Being a bit old is not a problem, this location is worth a fortune!”

He didn’t expect these two to start nitpicking from the get-go.

Initially, he thought these two refined looking young men were unfamiliar with the business and he could quote them a higher price.

Qi Yu faked a sigh, complemented by a disappointed look, which made Mr.

Li tremble inside.

Mr.

Li clenched his teeth, “Mr.

Li genuinely wants to conduct business here.

Perhaps the lord could offer a price?”

Qi Yu scoffed inwardly; this Mr.

Li was really too impatient.

She glanced at Song Ling with a raised eyebrow.

A faint smile emerged in Song Ling’s eyes, but his tone was non-negotiable as he said, “Three hundred silver.”
