you may go rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou started feeling somewhat uneasy about actually staying the night in the Marquis Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tugged at Jin Zijin’s sleeve and asked, “You’re not going to tell me that your so-called home in Lingnan happens to be this place, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she spoke, Jin Zijin suddenly remembered the trick he had originally played on Gu Youyou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly had no home, but if he had to name a place that had given him a sense of home over the years, it really was this Marquis Residence of Lingnan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought for a moment and then said, “Of course not, our house hasn’t been lived in for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I suspect it’s uninhabitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll go and take a look tomorrow, and if it’s damaged, I’ll find someone to fix it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We will move there after it’s repaired.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had become capable of lying with a straight face and without a twinge of conscience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A year ago, he couldn’t have imagined lying just to coax a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One lie requires more lies to cover it up; there seemed to be some truth to that saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou pondered about having to stay here for a few days, which gave her a headache just thinking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t foolish; the young ladies of the Yue Family made no effort to hide their hostile glances toward her, plainly provoking her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since when had Gu Youyou fought for a man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Men always flocked to her like birds to a lagoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she looked up and saw the complicated gaze in Jin Zijin’s eyes again, it really seemed like they thought she, a village girl, truly wasn’t worthy of him—not even to be his maid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, luckily, she wasn’t the village girl Gu Youyou, at least not in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A village girl lacked confidence, but she had it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zijin, are the young ladies of the Yue Family nice?” she inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zijin was briefly taken aback before his thoughts shifted, and he understood her implication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took off his outer garment and said with a light smile, “The last time I saw them they were only a few years old, all little girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ajing’s sister; I consider them as my sisters too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Damn, so many ‘sisters.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou watched him for a while and, seeing his expression was unchanged, she believed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The backyard of the Lingnan Marquis Residence was vast; even with just Gu Youyou and Jin Zijin as the guests, they still occupied an entire separate courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was even more surprising was the existence of a half-man-made, half-natural warm spring behind the bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soaking in the warm spring washed away the fatigue of many days’ travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she came out, Jin Zijin was reading under a lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was getting late; Gu Youyou yawned and said, “Their house is really generous, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s even a hot spring in the guest room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zijin put down his book and replied, “There are many hot springs in Lingnan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large households in the city all have hot springs channeled into their houses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh…?” Gu Youyou paused her movements for a moment, realizing this place was indeed blessed by heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Gu Youyou slept until the sun was high in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a guest, she felt slightly embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she awoke, Jin Zijin was already gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he could have at least called her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of light footsteps came from outside, and before long, she saw Xiaotao, the maid from the day before.\u003C\u002Fp>",764,"2026-06-06T06:54:47.695Z",1,"novelbin.me","4cd0f0f0449c8b16bdbd0e2f7d191b24bbfb61aad259d39cce1d250f59430418","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-340","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-338",1812,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
