“The cost of building this house is not low.” Zhou Shi gave Lin Xiaoyue an expression that said, “you’ve made a big profit”.

Lin Xiaoyue gave her a playful smile.

“If you want to stay in the manor in the future, you can just come over!” She smiled.

“What’s the point of staying here alone? In the future, ask me if you’re here!” Zhou Shi said.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

“Alright.”

As they spoke, the group quickly arrived at the main hall.

Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao were invited to the seats of honor, and Zhou Shi was arranged to sit on the right side of the seat of honor.

The housekeeper brought tea over. Lin Xiaoyue was feeling a little thirsty, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip.

“Have a seat.” She put down the teacup and then said to Fan Ming and the other two who were standing in the middle.

“Thank you, Miss!” The three of them bowed to Lin.

Then, Fan Ming went to sit opposite Zhou Shou.

Zhong Gui and Cao De sat beside Zhou Shi and Fan Ming respectively.

This was also equivalent to admitting that Fan Ming’s current status was slightly higher than theirs.

When Lin Xiaoyue saw this, only a slight fluctuation flashed across her eyes, but she quickly restrained her emotions.

“I had a lot of things to do before, so I didn’t come to take a look. I also didn’t agree to your request to meet me in Daishi Village.” Lin Xiaoyue finally spoke.

“Now, the matter is almost settled. I took this opportunity to come and visit.”

“There are some things I have to ask everyone first.” Lin Xiaoyue said as her gaze swept across the three people’s faces.

The three of them instantly tensed up.

With Li Xiao present, they felt that the pressure from the seats of honor was too strong.

In addition, Young Madam was also here.

They all knew who Young Madam was.

It was the Miss’ first day at the manor, and Young Madam actually accompanied her. Their relationship was closer than she had imagined.

Each of the three manors had sixteen guards, eight each from the Liang and Zhou families.

Moreover, these people were all martial arts practitioners.

“Miss, feel free to ask.” Fan Ming finally spoke.

Lin Xiaoyue’s lips curled up slightly.

“Since you spoke first, then please tell me about the current situation of the Zhou manor,” she said.

Fan Ming immediately stood up and cupped his hands in greeting towards Lin Xiaoyue.

“Yes.”

Then, he told her about the situation in the Zhou manor.

“The Zhou manor currently has a total of…”

Fan Ming quickly reported the land and population living in the Zhou manor, as well as the number of tenants who had signed a lease this year and intended to renew it next year.

Zhong Gui and Cao De listened on the side. They were both surprised to hear that so many tenants wanted to renew their contracts.

Lin Xiaoyue’s expression didn’t change at all. She only nodded from time to time and noted down some numbers.

“Recently, old…” Fan Ming made a slip of the tongue. He glanced at Zhou Shi and quickly changed his words, “Old Master Zhou…”

“Together with Third Master Zhou, obtained the land near the Zhou and Mao’er Manor.”

“As of yesterday, 1 have already obtained all the deeds of these lands.”

“Yesterday, I wanted to send it to you. However, Zhao Kang came to inform me that you are coming today, so I thought I would give them to you personally.” Fan Ming said as he looked towards the door.

A muscular man in a gray jacket was waiting outside the door, holding a wooden box in his hand.

Seeing Fan Ming looking at her, Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

“Come in.”

“Yes, sir!” The man at the door quickly responded and then lowered his head and quickly entered.

After standing beside Fan Ming, he bowed to Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao.

“I am Fan Teng. It’s my honor to meet Miss and Young Master!” Fan Teng’s voice was loud and clear. Coupled with his strong muscles, he looked energetic.

Because she had experienced the apocalypse, Lin Xiaoyue admired people who looked powerful.

She had a good impression of Fan Teng.

Li Xiao also looked at Fan Teng a few more times, then at Fan Ming.

Another person with the surname Fan?

Fan Ming was too anxious.

“Hmm.” Lin Xiaoyue replied.

Then, she looked at Zhao Shanshan.

Only then did Zhao Shanshan leave Lin Xiaoyue’s side and walk towards Fan Teng.

Fan Teng kept his head down obediently, not daring to raise his head at all.

When he saw a pair of small feet appear in his line of sight and walk towards him, his heart skipped a beat..
