It was just that the size of the front yard was more than three times the size of the entire Liu family residence.
The marble-paved ground was flat and tidy.
On both sides, there were beautifully manicured gardens.
In the middle, there was a large rockery, blocking the view of outsiders peeping into the hall.
There was a veranda along the wall.
The corridor pillars were carved with intricate floral patterns and low-key luxury.
When she walked around the rockery, the hall with angled cornices and carved beams jumped into her eyes.
For the first time, Liu Yusheng saw with her own eyes the mansions where only royalty could live, felt the so-called dignity of the ancient princes and nobles, and felt the heavenly difference in class.
It was only at this moment that she truly realized how disparate the difference in status was between her and Feng Qingbai.
It felt complicated, yet there was no barrier.
No matter how noble and high the position of Feng Qingbai was, in her heart, he was the little boy who took out all he had and bought a pair of red hair ties for her.
Feng Qingbai did not speak again the entire way, but his attention has always been on the girl.
He felt nervous at every subtle change in her expression.
It was only after finding that her gaze had not changed in any way except for novelty and emotion that he quietly relaxed.
Gentle affection overflowed from the corners of his eyes.
“Your Highness, Your Majesty, you are back.” Someone in the hall greeted them. Her voice was clear, and her posture was graceful. She was wearing a green muslin pleated dress, reflecting the woman to be slender and delicate.
Very beautiful.
When the woman saw the person following Feng Qingbai, she froze for a moment and then smiled lightly. “Are these the distinguished guests that Your Highness and Your Majesty told me about? I am servant Fu Yuzheng, a maid in the mansion. Please take a seat in the hall. I will go and have someone to serve tea.”
“Don’t boil the tea too hot. Cool it down with cold water before bringing it up. Also, have the kitchen prepare dinner and prepare the menu I gave yesterday. Prepare enough hot water for bathing after the meal.” Feng Qingbai led them down the hall, instructing as he walked.
“Understood.”
“Thank you, Miss Fu.” Liu Yusheng smiled at the woman as she walked past her.
This was the same Fu Yuzheng that Feng Qingbai had mentioned to her.
She was delicate and slender. Her words and smiles were shallow, and the ruthlessness that Feng Qingbai had commented on was nowhere to be seen at all.
She must be someone who doesn’t reveal her emotions easily.
The woman glanced at her, smiled and bowed in salute. “You flatter me, Miss. I’ll take my leave now.”
“We are finally home! Aunt Liu, let me tell you. I did help you set up your room and bought a lot of things for you, but unfortunately, I got screwed by Imperial Uncle! He actually tricked me into going to another courtyard!…”
When Fu Yuzheng turned around, the boy’s rare cheerful remarks sounded. She lowered her eyes, trying to cover up the bitterness that crept up.
She has known the boy for many years and has always treated him with sincerity, but today, she realized that even the boy has never opened his heart to her.
Now, she understood. It was that she lacked something.
But from the start, they have positioned her very clearly.
It was she herself who had secretly been greedy for them.
She blinked and smiled, wiping away the bitterness.
When she raised her head, her eyes were once again clear.
She, Fu Yuzheng, never felt sorry for herself!
In the hall, the boy next to Liu Yusheng, felt brave enough to start complaining. The aggravation he suffered over the past few days poured out of his brain.
With Aunt Liu here, his Imperial Uncle became a paper tiger. He was not afraid at all!
