want to buy a standalone house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It doesn’t have to be in a great location or luxurious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two or three courtyards are enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it’s in a quiet area and convenient for commuting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Jiang’s middle man immediately agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were too many such houses, four or five in his hands alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that he was going to close a deal today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang’s middle man went through with Cai Wei one by one on houses meeting her requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suggested she choose a three courtyard mansion located slightly south of the city center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The location of this mansion was prime, and it was spacious, with more than a dozen rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, it had two courtyards, each with a small pond full of lotus flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only downside was that the mansion was very old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The buildings in the front and back yards were tottering, just short of being blown down by a gust of wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an old mansion dating back over a hundred years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the left of the mansion was a quiet nunnery, and to the right, there was formerly an oil mill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because of a fire that killed two workers in the oil mill, people, being superstitious, believed the place was unlucky since people had died there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place was therefore vacant and soon turned into ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner of the mansion was a scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After failing the imperial exam time and again and having his family’s fortunes decline, he considered giving up academia to venture into the business world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he didn’t have the initial capital, he decided to sell his ancestral home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the poor location of the mansion and its deteriorated state, he only asked for two thousand taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having had previous experiences buying manors, Cai Wei trusted what Jiang’s middle man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately went to inspect the mansion and found it to be exactly as he described.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner of the mansion was a scholar in his forties named Dai Ming Yuan Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was pale, gentlemanly, with not-so-big but spirited eyes, and with a demeanor that was steady and well measured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One look, and you could tell he was an upright gentleman who handled himself amicably in social situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei didn’t haggle with this downtrodden gentleman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked for two thousand taels, and she immediately agreed, not uttering another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She straightaway paid him a deposit of five taels of gold, agreeing to settle the remaining sum after his family moved out the very next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just half a day, she had decided to buy a mansion worth two thousand taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Cai Wei, this was not a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time for her grand plans to come to fruition was almost upon her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her eyes, this purchase of two thousand taels was not even worth mentioning…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the afternoon, she took Dou Momo and Huan Qiu for an afternoon stroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had a big meal at the most famous restaurant in the capital, Jufude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She chose to eat at Jufude because she wanted to hear the latest gossip in the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The customers of Jufude did not disappoint her and indeed brought her the latest news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, did you hear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wuchang Duke woke up, found out he had lost his manhood, and fainted again…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, losing his manhood is not the worst part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard that people from the palace came to admonish him for his indiscretions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems he has fallen out of favor with The Emperor and the Empress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His life is going to be difficult from now on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Difficult or not, at least he still has a life to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s better than the Duke An’s eldest grandson’s family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know if you’ve heard, but last night the family was bitten to death by poisonous snakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are snakes everywhere in the Duke’s mansion, and they specifically targeted the masters of the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s really strange…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The old madam was also bitten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she woke up, unfortunately, she was left with a lingering illness and could no longer get out of bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial Physician said she would not be able to get up for the rest of her life…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gossip delighted Cai Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing her meal in high spirits, she shopped for a while and bought both Wen’er and Wu’er a carved wooden horse each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did she reluctantly return to Bishui Villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Cai Wei woke up early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous night, Brother Parrot had reported that Jin Guifei would summon her to the palace in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she got out of bed early, got dressed, brushed her teeth and washed her face, had breakfast, and then waited quietly in the pavilion of Huifang Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>",814,"2026-06-03T13:14:39.833Z","2026-06-03T13:14:42.716Z",1,"novelbin.me","ef0b6b81f3e6a0b5a1963fbd5d345617fbf178b700f578f3a0a31448283e9d20","transmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-chapter-743","transmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-chapter-741",2136,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-cover.jpg"]
