At the beginning of the You hour, the servant Qin Shu sent to invite Li Youlin came back and said that the two gentlemen, Li Youlin and Xiao Cheng, had left the city in the afternoon and were not in the mansion.

Back in the mansion, Nanny Chun and the man had different opinions and were arguing over the issue of where to arrange for people to live.

Nanny Chun firmly disagreed with the man living in the front yard or the East Garden, and argued, "Miss, the East Garden is your boudoir! How can you allow a man to set foot in a woman's boudoir?"

"You are still an unmarried woman. If this gets out, your reputation will be ruined!"

"The front yard? The front yard is not an option! The young lady lives here, and even the housekeeper lives in the gatehouse. How can he, a man from outside, live in the same yard with the young lady?"

Qin Shu had no choice but to say, "Then clean up the West Mansion and let Manager Chang and Accountant Sun live in the West Mansion, and let him..."

Qin Shu pointed at the man and said, "He lives over there too."

Nanny Chun stopped talking.

As a result, the man hid behind Qin Shu and replied simply, "No!"

Nanny Chun was furious.

She rushed forward and pulled Qin Shu behind her, like an old hen protecting her cubs, and said angrily: "If you don't live over there, I will send you to the government!"

The man's eyes instantly filled with tears.

Nanny Chun's momentum suddenly fell. She was at a loss and stammered, "Oh, I didn't say anything. Why are you crying?"

She looked at Qin Shu for help, and Qin Shu covered her mouth and laughed so hard that she collapsed on the couch.

Nanny Chun's brows were twisted into a knot with worry, and she said angrily, "Miss, can you think of a solution?"

Qin Shu laughed enough, then she held onto Nanny Chun's arm and said, "How about this, have someone clean up the East Garden, Nanny will stay there with me, and let this young master and the ten boys live in the front yard."

"While the people in the manor are still here, we should clean up the West Mansion as well. From now on, let Manager Chang and his family and Accountant Sun live in the West Mansion."

Nanny Chun's expression turned a little gloomy, and she said softly, "The furniture in the young lady's room has been smashed to pieces. We need to replace it with new ones."

Those pieces of furniture were made when the master was alive. The wood was carefully selected and the craftsmen were skilled.

Every piece of furniture reflects the master and mistress’ love for their daughter.

But it was destroyed like that by Qin Jingchang out of anger.

Qin Shu was also silent, and after a moment she said, "Then throw it away and get a new one."

"No need." The man suddenly said.

Qin Shu asked curiously: "What?"

The man said seriously: "Don't throw it away, I can fix it."

Nanny Chun looked her up and down, and said with a curled lip, "Are you looking for an excuse to stay? Our young lady is kind-hearted. Since she asked you to stay, she will definitely not break her promise."

Qin Shu raised her hand to stop Nanny Chun and asked seriously, "Do you really know how to repair it?"

The man's eyes widened immediately, and his expression clearly said: What do you mean? How dare you doubt him?

Qin Shu and Nanny Chun looked at each other and stood up at the same time.

Nanny Chun moved faster, turning around and walking out, "I know where to find wood and tung oil."

Who doesn’t know how to brag?

Let’s see how you make it round in a while!

In order to stay in the mansion, he even dared to say such big words.

The carriages in the mansion often need to be repaired, so some basic carpentry tools are still available.

Manager Chang followed the man's instructions and found a saw and a plane.

Nanny Chun also found leftover wood and tung oil from previous furniture making in the utility room and brought them to the garden.

The man removed a broken crossbeam from the Duobao Pavilion, and picked and chose from the wood brought by Nanny Chun, and selected a similar piece of wood.

The wood flew up and down in his hands, and in a short while he used the plane and saw to make small pieces of wooden wedges.

Not even an ink fountain was used.

Finally, he picked out a few pieces, aligned the tenons with the mortises, and knocked on them with a wooden hammer.

After the tenon and mortise are perfectly matched, except for the different color of the wood, there is no trace of jointing on the entire crossbeam!

Nanny Chun stroked the crossbar and opened her mouth in shock.

Qin Shu looked at the man thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "What's your last name?"

The man opened his mouth and paused for a moment before saying, "I forgot."

Qin Shu pursed her lips and said something ambiguous, "Really? Then how could you do this?"

The man touched his head and thought for a long time before replying, "I don't know."

Aunt Chun looked like she had found a treasure, her eyes narrowed into slits with joy, "It doesn't matter whether you remember it or not, as long as you can do it. It's just right, you can tidy up these furniture."

A ready-made carpenter would be a waste if you don't use it.

Qin Shu's eyes turned slightly, and she said to Nanny Chun, "Mammy, you and the steward go out first. I want to talk to this young master."

Nanny Chun instantly calmed down from her surprise, winked at Manager Chang, and led everyone out.

The door was closed, and Nanny Chun's figure was reflected on the doors and windows.

Qin Shu pretended to rummage in her purse, took out a chocolate, placed it in front of the man, and said with a smile: "Hey, you've worked hard just now. This is candy as a thank you gift."

The man lowered his eyebrows slightly, took the chocolate from Qin Shu's hand obediently, put it under his nose and smelled it.

Qin Shu held up his palm and said with a smile, "It's delicious, would you like to try it?"

The man smiled, put the chocolate to his mouth and took a small bite.

After savoring it carefully, the man's eyes lit up and he put the whole chocolate into his mouth.

After he finished eating the chocolate, Qin Shu smiled like a wolf grandmother and asked in a low voice, "Is it delicious?"

The man's eyes sparkled and he nodded vigorously.

Qin Shu asked again: "Do you know what you ate just now?"

The man shook his head and said, "You said it was candy."

Qin Shu sneered and said, "It's not candy, it's a deadly poison."

The man showed a hurt look in his eyes and lowered his head silently.

Qin Shu felt guilty: Oh, this guy's eyes are really...

Why was I feeling this inexplicable sense of guilt when he looked at me like that?

She coughed hard and continued, "This poison will quickly penetrate into your internal organs and meridians the moment you eat it."

"People who are poisoned by this will not feel anything on weekdays, but the poison will attack once a month. If you fail to take the suppressed pills in time, you will deeply experience what it means to live a life worse than death."

At an angle that Qin Shu couldn't see, a dark light flashed quickly in the man's eyes: Is it highly poisonous?

He gently wiped the tips of his teeth with the tip of his tongue, and the remaining taste on the tips of his teeth was sweet with a hint of bitterness.

From childhood to adulthood, he has taken countless poisons, but this is the first time he has taken "poison" and felt so... unsatisfied.

Qin Shu smiled and asked, "How is it, have you remembered your name?"

The man suddenly smiled and raised his head slightly. The confusion and innocence in his eyes disappeared, leaving only coldness.

His slightly pale lips slightly opened and closed, his low and hoarse voice was magnetic and charming, like an invisible hand that could easily move people's heartstrings, "Helanchi."
