Jiang Youyu sat in the carriage as she lifted the curtain of the carriage to survey the land before her.

The Black Abyss Soldiers surrounding the white horses reined their horses and returned to the encampment at the city gates. The only remaining Black Horses scattered around the area. This way, it didn't affect Jiang You and Yu Di's line of sight.

It was still a bluish-gray brick, and it was still a gray tile. The only color it brought was the bluestone pavement. There didn't seem to be any changes. Jiang Youyu who had carefully looked at the land in the capital lowered the window curtain.

When Jiang Youyu looked over, the carriage was almost at the ground. Even through the cracks of the carriage, one could see just how vast and magnificent the building before them was. However, these were things that the fish in the river didn't care about the most, so they didn't have much interest in. At most, he would only glance at the signboard on the door. Three words that faintly emitted a killing intent were deeply engraved on the signboard.

The large courtyard of the Abyss King's Mansion was extremely spacious. Other than the few few places in the capital, there was probably no other mansion with such grandeur. The white horse galloped past, and Ning Ziqing, who was mounted on it, gestured to the ten or so Shadow Cavalry beside him, and passed through the gate of the palace. Finally, the horse stopped at the side yard.

Although it was called a side courtyard, it actually took up quite a bit of space. One could tell that this side courtyard had just been renovated not too long ago. There were some cracks on the gray brick wall. He reckoned that it would be painted later on.

Old Gu, who was driving the horse, helped Jiang You Yu off the horse, and then he consciously patted the little red horse's butt to comfort the little red horse. He then ran to the strange little red horse and took the reins from Ning Ziqing's hands, watching Ning Ziqing enter the courtyard.

In the yard.

An elderly woman served some tea to Jiang You Yu and then helped him to sit down. She carefully sized him up before leaving with a satisfied smile on her face.

Old Gu did not know where he had left Lil 'Red, but he rubbed his hands together before following behind. However, when he saw that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room, he quickly smiled at Jiang Youyu and went out as well.

Jiang Youyu sized up the old hut and finally looked at the teacup beside her. He took a sniff of the tea and its fragrance drifted into the distance. It should be a good tea. Therefore, the drinking of the tea was a bit rude. Ning Ziqing, who was sitting to the side, frowned at Jiang Youyu.

"There are only four more days until the wedding day. Here is a list of guests for the feast. Take a look and see if you need more." Ning Ziqing was sitting next to Jiang You Yu. The note filled with names was pushed to the side of Jiang You Yu. The voice was as cold as the face, and there was no emotion in it. It was as if what Jiang Youyu said didn't matter at all. They didn't know that these words were related to the marriage between the two of them.

Jiang Youyu read the card seriously as well. In the end, it was still a matter of his marriage. Although he didn't really care, he had to be more serious.

"There's no need for that. There aren't many people I know in the city." Jiang Youyu read it again and again before replying seriously.

"Alright, then I'll stay here for the next few days. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll head back to the Mansion first." Ning Ziqing was definitely not a person who was good at talking. Furthermore, he had nothing else to say to Jiang Zhuzhe. With that, Jiang Youyu's reply ended the conversation between the two. With that, he stood up and called out to the old woman outside the door. He got her to settle down for Jiang Youyu and left the room.

The old woman called her Auntie Xue. Ning Ziqing's attitude towards her was somewhat close, and it seemed that he had a good relationship with Ning Ziqing. Sending Ning Ziqing out the door, he did not forget to remind him to put on a windbreaker. It was almost nightfall, and the weather was cold all over the world.

Ning Ziqing agreed and turned around to look at Jiang Youyu who was standing in the yard. Although his expression was cold, there seemed to be some sort of meaning behind his gaze. However, the meaning behind his words was not something that would be easily ignored by an outsider. He then boarded the King's Manor's carriage, which had been waiting outside for a long time. She was really busy. There were many things in the Abyss King's Mansion, and there were also many things in that eldest mother of hers.

Moreover, this marriage had to be prepared in more or less.

Jiang Youyu had been living a very comfortable life these few days. She didn't have the old man nagging in her ears all day, nor did she have the cold words from her older sister. She also didn't have to face the woman that made her feel guilty. In addition, Auntie Xue's cooking skills were quite good, and the color of the dishes were excellent. Of course, if it was based on the fact that Ning Ziqing did not come back to eat dinner, then that would make Jiang You and Yu Wei feel more at ease.

"Young master, you don't know that Lady Yu from the red house is a beauty that can topple empires. In the world of the commander-in-chief, which family isn't mesmerized by Lady Yu?" "Young Master Liang of the State Capital has something to say. He said that the happiest thing in life is to listen to the song of Master Yu, to read his people, and to drink the tea of the Misty Cloud Mountain." Lai Lanyun seemed to have forgotten his roots. In the past few days, he had been showing off his might by following this Young Master in front of him. His back was straight and straight. Thus, he tried his best to please the young master in front of him.

Jiang Youyu was prepared to nod her head. Although she had only been at the Abyss King's Mansion for a few days, she had not had a chance to make a heart and heart conversation with Ning Ziqing. Going to that brothel all of a sudden did not have a good influence on her. However, humans could not endure loneliness. He was the one who counted the cats. Smelling the fishy smell made him feel like he was pouncing on someone.

However, just as Jiang Youyu was about to open his mouth to respond and give Butler Ma some words of encouragement, a charming voice suddenly made him shut his mouth.

"I wonder where Manager Ma is bringing Young Master?" A woman was standing not far behind Jiang Youyu. She had a smile on her face as she watched on. Ma Laiyun's face instantly turned pale. He forced a smile on his face and waved his hand at the girl, saying, "I'm not going. I'm not going."

The woman retracted the smile on her face, and coldly stared at Ma Laiyun. "Young Master's side is too comfortable. I see that the horse keeper's seat can help you wake up. I'll ask the stables later if they have arranged people."

When the woman said those words, Ma Laiyun's face seemed as if he was about to cry. The corner of his mouth moved a few times. In the end, he could only pitifully beg Jiang Youyu. Jiang You Yu coughed awkwardly, pretending not to see Ma Laiyun's eyes.

After all, he had stayed in the Abyss King's Mansion for a few days, so he naturally knew who was in charge of the Abyss King's Mansion.

"That Nian Xia, what's the matter?" The situation wasn't right. Naturally, they had to change the topic. Jiang You Yu held his head high and tried his best to act serious. He looked at the maid called Nian Xia with an unsmiling face.

Nian Xia put away the cold expression on his face and instantly put on a perfect smile towards Jiang Youyu. Bowing slightly, he displayed the utmost etiquette.

"Young Miss invited Young Master to the study room for a chat. She said that she had been busy the past few days and was neglected by Young Master. In that case, once you have some free time, Miss will ask this servant to invite Young Master over. " Her voice was soft and gentle, and her words were flawless. She really did have a master, but she also had a servant girl.

Jiang You Yu sighed in his heart, but he still had a look of pleasant surprise on his face, "I thought that you didn't like me, but it turns out that you're busy and don't have the time. Just say it, young master I'm an elegant and elegant man, a jade tree in the wind, how could I not be in love with you?" "We can't let Xie Qingqing wait for too long. Nian Xia, hurry up and lead the way."

Nian Xia tried his best to maintain the perfect smile on his face, but his mind kept resonating with Jiang Youyu's shocking shameless words. How could there be such a shameless person in this world? To be honest, Nian Xia felt that his view of the world had collapsed.

After taking in a deep breath, he saw that her delicate and pretty face was still smiling. However, her attitude was still a bit indifferent.

In Nian Xia's heart, he felt pity for his young mistress. Miss Yu's talent, family background, and character were all beyond her in this world. How was he to deceive such a husband? Nian Xia couldn't understand.

However, Jiang Youyu was still a young master. Thus, Nian Xia turned around and gestured respectfully to Jiang Youyu, leading him through the mansion.

In the study room at the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Youyu was following behind Nian Xia as she was led to a table by Ning Ziyi. No one gave him a seat. It was unknown if it was because of the lord's intentions or because the maid had completely forgotten about him.

"Are you used to living there?" Ning Ziqing was the first to speak. It was hard to tell from his cold face what kind of attitude he had towards Jiang Youyu. He was both cold and indifferent, so his question to Jiang Youyu was very formal.

Jiang Youyu didn't seem to care about the formalization. His eyes wandered around Ning Ziqing's body, and then he unceremoniously pulled a chair over to sit in front of Ning Ziqing, right in front of his wrinkled eyebrows.

"Habit, habit. "It's just that our yard is too big. I'll have to walk around for a long time before I get back in the middle of the night." With a smile on his face, Jiang You Yu used the word 'us' without any trace of politeness. As for the fact that the courtyard was too big, he was still not used to it, so he didn't explain it clearly.

Ning Ziqing automatically ignored the 'us' in Jiang Youyu's words. Under Jiang Youyu's measuring gaze, he relaxed his eyebrows, then retracted his gaze from Jiang Youyu's body. He casually picked up an account book and continued, "Mm, it's good as long as you're used to it. As for this courtyard, it's too big, there's nothing you can do about it."

At this point, Ning Ziqing flipped a page on the account book in his hand, still did not even look up at Jiang Youyu, and continued, "The marriage between the two families is decided, but the date is always uncertain, and my father is also at the Yanzhou border, so outsiders would not say anything, but living here for a long time is not good at all."

Jiang Youyu looked at Ning Ziqing with a strange expression, not knowing what to change into. Yu Zhitong was not stupid, so he naturally understood the meaning behind Ning Ziqing's words.

"In other words, you can't always take advantage of the house. "Coincidentally, our family has an escort company in Qingzhou. You pack up, I'll get the housekeeper to lead you there later." After Ning Ziqing finished speaking, he flipped through another page of the account book in his hands and looked towards Jiang You Yu.

"If you lack anything, just tell the housekeeper that I still have some debts to settle. Nian Xia, take Young Master out." With just a few sentences, Ning Ziqing finally came to a conclusion, not giving Jiang Youyu the chance to speak. Nian Xia also quickly arrived beside Jiang Youyu and made a inviting gesture. Then, he fixed his gaze on her.

The corner of Jiang You Yu's mouth revealed a slight smile. It was rather interesting.

Without letting Nian Xia invite him in again, Jiang You Yu stood up and slowly turned around to walk towards the door. Ning Ziqing, who was looking down at his account book, did not get up to send him off. He was about to leave when Jiang Youyu stopped and turned around. Right at this moment, Ning Ziqing raised his head.

Their gazes met in midair, pausing for three to five breaths before Jiang Youyu finally opened her mouth, "Actually, I want to see the smile on your face. It should be very beautiful."

After saying this, he ignored the stupefied look on Fang Xing's face and, without waiting for Nian Xia to open his eyes, Jiang Youyu quickly left the study.

Not long after Jiang You Yu left the study, the astonished Ning Xie Qing gritted his teeth and twisted the account book in his hand into a ball.

The family property of the Abyss King's Mansion was quite deep. In almost all parts of the Azure Province, there were large and small properties of the Abyss King's Mansion.

The Three Rivers Escort Office was a part of the large property of the Abyss King's Mansion.

Steward Liu Qing looked at Jiang Youyu who was standing in front of him saying, "If there's anything missing, just tell the steward." He was raking through everything in the mansion as if his heart was about to bleed. Needless to say, the violet jade pot that was commonly used by the Abyss Prince was taken away by Jiang Youyu. After all, the Abyss Prince wasn't present, so no one else in the manor dared to use it. He shouldn't have taken all the fish in a pot from the high quality teahouse at the back of the Cloud Mist Mountain. He should have left some for himself to drink when he had nothing else to do.

There was no need to say anything more.

"Old Gu, go and call Butler Ma over. That Little Red of ours is very delicate. We need to find a professional to serve her." Jiang Youyu was standing at the entrance of the prince's mansion. Seeing Old Gu squinting his eyes and laughing, she quickly made a suggestion.

Jiang Youyu was still thinking about the Yu Lady that Ma Laiyun had mentioned. At this moment, he naturally couldn't forget about Ma Laiyun.

Ma Laiyun, who was hiding in the crowd with a sorrowful look on his face, suddenly became quick-witted. When he heard that Jiang Youyu was still thinking about him, he immediately dashed out of the crowd and went to Jiang Youyu's side with a wide smile on his face.

Laiyun was not stupid. He had become a housekeeper from a horse farmer because of Jiang Youyu. After thinking about how excited he had been when he spoke to Nian Xia today, he thought about how Jiang Youyu had brought the little red horse to do a good deed.

Lai Lai recalled that if he were to stay at the palace, he would most likely end up dying.

When he thought back to the past few days, he felt that he had eaten and drank spicy food while following by Jiang Youyu's side. In the past, those from the Duke's Mansion who had looked down on him started flattering him one by one.

"Why aren't you faking it?" Jiang Youyu could not guess the thoughts in Ma Laiyun's heart. He was too lazy to listen to Ma Laiyun's endless reverence for him. Right now, what he was most concerned about was how to take away the things that he had forcefully taken a fancy to in front of the palace.

Ning Ziqing's attitude was very clear, it was as if he wanted to move to another place. This was also in line with Jiang Youyu's personality. He couldn't bear the rules of this manor either. Although there were no rules that were imposed on him in the past few days, that Old Gu and his Lil 'Red did not feel comfortable.

However, am I that annoying? Letting him leave the manor was, after all, a request from that woman. This caused Jiang Youyu to feel that it was rather shameful.

Jiang You Yu shook his head and immediately threw this idea out of his mind. He then looked at the butler, who was standing at the side with a wry smile.

"Young Master, it really can't be stored. "Just this carriage alone is already filled to the brim." Liu Qing wiped the sweat off his forehead and glanced at Nian Xia, who was standing to one side. His mouth was trembling as he explained to Jiang Youyu.

Jiang You Yu circled around the carriage and glanced at the pile of treasures in front of the mansion with extreme reluctance.

"Butler Ma, come. Carry this chamber pot on your back. Be careful, don't smash it." Jiang Youyu pointed to the only item in the pile in front of the door that she thought was an important treasure. Then, she ignored the horse's bitter face and let it go.

Finally, Jiang Youyu thought about it carefully. She probably didn't leave anything behind. She then got on Xiao Hong and walked towards the busy city in Qingzhou with a high-spirited expression.

The escort company was naturally not a busy city in Qingzhou City. However, it was Jiang Youyu's first time making a formal appearance in Qingzhou. Naturally, he had to circle around Qingzhou City to get to know it.

This was all thanks to Housekeeper Ma. If it weren't for the fact that Housekeeper Ma had brought Jiang Youyu on a tour of Qingzhou City these past few days, Jiang Youyu really didn't know how many people there were in Qingzhou City.
