Xue Mei hastily said, "Mom, I didn't mean anything else. I'm not just curious."
She found it astonishing that even with their wealth, they had acquired the residence in Pingzhou and the large estate in Li Family Village within a year, which surely cost a significant amount of silver. And now they were planning to buy a residence in the capital, where even a small courtyard would be worth a lot of silver!
Zhulan explained, "Before you came, your father appraised some antiques and won a few pieces, which he sold for a good sum of silver. We had some savings as well, so buying a small courtyard is not a problem."
Anyway, Chang Lian was going to visit Jiang Residence tomorrow, and he should find out what Zhou Shuren has been up to. The Zhou family should realize how formidable their father is by now, so there's no harm in speaking to Xue Mei a bit earlier about it.
It would be a good chance to shake up Chang Lian and the others, to show them, look how awesome your dad is!
