Su Jingchen and Yu Xiaolian left Luocheng with only Zhao Sanyan and Cao Gen, along with a matron in her fifties, while the rest of the servants from Su Mansion stayed back in Luocheng.
The courtyard they rented was extremely small, but because it was close to the academy, the rent was unusually high, costing two taels of silver each month.
Su Jingchen and Yu Xiaolian lived in the first courtyard, while Zhao Sanyan and Su Jingyue shared the second courtyard with Cao Gen. Zhao Sanyan and the matron lived in the side rooms of the first courtyard. Though everyone had their own room, there wasn't a single extra room left because Su Jingchen and Su Jingyue each occupied a room for their study.
As Su Jingyue's new sister-in-law, Yu Xiaolian was worried she might neglect him in any way, so she took extra care in looking after him, making Su Jingchen occasionally send icy daggers with his eyes towards Su Jingyue.
