However, Ye Siming was carrying Gu Nuo’er. The little girl in his arms was small and delicate.

Being carefully protected in his arms, anyone with discerning eyes in the manor could tell that this girl had a noble status.

In the entire capital, only Princess Yaoguang could make Marquis Yongye carry her like this.

The butler was very tactful and quickly paid his respects. “Greetings to the princess and the Marquis. This old servant, Chang Mande, is the butler in the manor.”

He then briefly introduced the accountant and the person in charge of the front courtyard.

As Marquis Yongye had yet to get married, there was currently no nanny in charge of the backyard.

The rest were just servants and maids.

Ye Siming casually took a few glances.

“Go and light up the lights under the corridor. The princess wants to take a look at the manor. Butler Chang, lead us around.”

Chang Deman agreed repeatedly.

After giving a few instructions, a few agile servants ran to the various courtyards and started to light the lamps.

Gu Nuo’er placed her small hand on Ye Siming’s shoulder and turned to look around the courtyard.

There were strange flowers and plants everywhere.

This manor was one of the imperial court’s private assets.

Back then, it was built according to the configuration of a third-grade official.

Therefore, the corridor was built by a small lake. It was extremely poetic. Under the moonlight, there were a few limestone paths, and flowers and trees could be seen everywhere.

If it was a spring day, it would probably be very beautiful.

Chang Deman led them to the main courtyard where Ye Siming should stay.

The courtyard occupied an extensive area. There was a wide main room with two side rooms next to it.

There were also smaller rooms on both sides.

Gu Nuo’er took a look and commented in a childish voice, “Oh, it’s average!”

Ye Siming didn’t have any feelings for the house. He came this time mainly to accompany Gu Nuo’er.

He was only concerned about one thing at this moment.

“Butler Chang, go get someone to start a charcoal fire in the main room.”

The night wind was too cold. Although the child was wearing a lot of clothes, she shouldn’t be able to withstand the cold wind.

He would bring her in to warm her up later.

Chang Deman quickly nodded in agreement and turned around to make arrangements.

Ye Siming carried Gu Nuo’er and passed through a festoon gate in the main courtyard.

They arrived at another courtyard that was smaller in size.

It was smaller compared to the main courtyard, but it was actually very big.

This place was decorated a little more ingeniously.

Two flowerbeds were built in the place where smaller rooms should be built.

There was a big tree in the corner with a swing hanging from it.

Gu Nuo’er looked around and felt that this courtyard looked much better than the main courtyard they saw earlier.

She pointed at an empty place. “Elder Brother Siming, I feel that it would be great if there was a small fish pond there.”

Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery black eyes. “In summer, we can stand on the small bridge and feed the fish. This is how my brothers and I play in the palace.”

Ye Siming nodded and turned to call out, “Butler Chang—”

Chang Deman quickly ran over.

“What instructions do you have, Marquis?

“I’ll get someone to build a fish pond at that spot tomorrow.”

Gu Nuo’er added in a childish voice, “Get a white jade bridge for the pond as well. It’ll look good even if it’s smaller!”

Ye Siming pursed his lips. “Do you remember it?”

Chang Deman was stunned and then said repeatedly, “I’ve remembered it, I’ve remembered it.”

However, he was in a difficult position.

Should he tell the marquis?

This courtyard was meant for the future mistress to stay in.

What if the future mistress didn’t like having a pond in the courtyard?

However, no one dared to object to the princess’s orders.

Therefore, Butler Chang didn’t say anything else.

After walking around, the child grumbled, “I’m tired. Elder Brother Siming, why is your house so big?!”

Ye Siming sneered. “I’ve been the one carrying you. You haven’t even walked and you’re already tired? Then let’s go back to the main courtyard and warm up for a while..
