Transmigration: Getting Rich with My Space and Supplies

The best courtyard in the entire mansion... wasn’t the main one where the Prince lived.

Because the Prince seldom returned, spending most of his days at the army camp, and after all the furnishings were simplified, the main courtyard was rather plain.

However, the adjacent courtyard was different. According to the layout, it was designated for the future Princess.

People in the mansion dearly hoped that the Prince would soon marry and bring home a Princess, so they had decorated the intended residence of the future Princess with exceptional care.

Everything was the best.

Of course, limited by circumstances, even the best decoration here... paled in comparison to Beijing. If one were to make a comparison, this place could only be described as a beggar’s den.

As soon as Housekeeper Qian left, Qin Ye turned to Rong Yan and said, "Miss Rong, shall we go in as well?"

Rong Yan nodded slightly; now she finally had the opportunity to look around the place.

It wasn’t luxurious, but the mansion was quite large. Lacking many flowers and trees, the entire courtyard felt especially empty.

It gave off a feeling of desolation.

Moreover, along the way as they entered, they had only encountered male house servants and did not see a single young maid.

Correctly speaking, they hadn’t bumped into a single female.

This made Rong Yan wonder... did Qin Ye have gender boundaries here?

Nonetheless, she did not voice this question. In any case, it was his concern, not hers. There was no need for her to ask too much, and even if she did ask, it wouldn’t make much difference.

She wouldn’t be staying here for very long.

"Over there is the main hall. We’ll head to the main hall first. Later, after Housekeeper Qian has made arrangements, you can go to your assigned courtyard."

Actually, he could take her straight to his courtyard now, but he knew that wouldn’t be quite appropriate.

Rong Yan nodded again, and then she pointed to Rong Jin, who Qin Ye was holding in his arms.

"You’ve been holding him like this for a while. Since Rong Jin is nearly awake now, you might as well wake him up."

It was surprising how sleepy Rong Jin was, as he hadn’t woken up throughout the whole journey.

Qin Ye wasn’t bothered.

"No trouble at all, I will carry him to my place to sleep in a bit. He hasn’t slept well these past few days, and at his age he should sleep a bit more."

Seeing this, Rong Yan said no more.

If he wanted to hold the child, let him be... and judging by the time, Rong Jin should be waking up soon anyway.

Upon entering the main hall, just as Qin Ye was about to speak, Rong Jin happened to wake up.

Seeing that he was in an unfamiliar place, his eyes instinctively searched for his sister and, upon seeing Sister not far away, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister!"

Hearing the call, Rong Yan looked over, "Good, you’re awake. Now come down."

At that moment, Rong Jin belatedly realized he was being carried by Brother Qin. Feeling his cheeks warm, he struggled slightly.

"Brother Qin, please put me down." He was so oversleeping that he didn’t even notice when they dismounted the carriage.

Qin Ye set him down immediately.

Once he was on his feet, Qin Ye said to the siblings, "You both will stay here for a while... just make yourselves at home..."

Rong Yan interrupted before he could finish, "We’ll just temporarily stay for a few days, then we’ll see."

She needed to assess the town. If it was acceptable, then they would settle down temporarily.

Given the chaos in the world, finding a place that felt just right was difficult, so for the time being, anywhere would do.

"...Okay!" Qin Ye’s voice had a tinge of bitterness.

At that moment, Housekeeper Qian came in, "Master... Miss’s residence is ready! Would you like to have a look now?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ye nodded immediately, "Yes, let’s go. Also, instruct the kitchen to prepare some breakfast to eat in a bit."

Housekeeper Qian assured immediately, "Rest assured, Master. The kitchen has already been instructed."

As the housekeeper, he didn’t need to do the chores himself; he merely had to make the arrangements.

Therefore, he had someone notify the kitchen right away.

Qin Ye trusted Housekeeper Qian’s abilities; if he said arrangements were made, then the breakfast certainly wouldn’t be lacking.

So he turned to Rong Yan and said, "Let’s go! I’ll show you to your courtyard."

Housekeeper Qian promptly led the way.

From the few words of the master, it was evident... the master cared deeply for the future Princess.

But who was this boy?

The future Princess’s younger brother perhaps?

He didn’t dare to ask too much nor to look too much.

Silently and obediently, he led the way ahead...

Qin Ye and Rong Yan walked side by side, and Rong Jin followed behind the two of them.

They arrived in front of a courtyard.

"Miss Rong, this is the place. Let’s go in." Qin Ye was unaware that the mansion staff considered this courtyard designated for the future Princess.

He didn’t care for such matters.

But seeing the courtyard now, he was quite pleased with Housekeeper Qian’s arrangement.

After all, this courtyard was very close to his main residence.

Rong Yan didn’t show much politeness either; she walked right in.

Upon seeing the large courtyard, she didn’t react much.

At that moment, Rong Jin tugged at her sleeve, "Sister, will I live here too?"

As Qin Ye was about to suggest he could stay with him, Rong Yan replied first, "Just let him sleep in this courtyard as well. There are so many empty rooms anyway."

She had glanced around just before; the courtyard was spacious, with several vacant rooms. Each of them could have a room to themselves and there would still be several to spare.

Besides, no matter what, Rong Jin was only five... no, he had just had a birthday, he should be six now.

What was the issue with a five or six-year-old child staying in the same courtyard?

Upon hearing that Sister would let him stay here, Rong Jin was beyond happy.

Seeing the siblings so pleased, Qin Ye swallowed back his suggestion.

"...Then alright, Housekeeper Qian, you will prepare a room later... for Jin to stay."

Housekeeper Qian immediately responded, "Master, the rooms here have all been cleaned up. This young master can stay in any of these rooms."

The rooms were usually kept clean, and upon receiving the master’s instructions, he had someone quickly clean them again.

They were perfectly tidy.

"Then it’s settled." Qin Ye pointed to a room nearest to the main house, "Jin can sleep in that room. Those staying in this courtyard... you can command them as you please, let them do whatever you wish."

Rong Yan looked at the few people standing in the courtyard... it seemed there were women in the mansion after all.

None were young, though; they were all old women. The youngest must be in her fifties.

"Alright."

"...Then I’ll head back now and will come to look for you later," said Qin Ye, reluctant to leave yet knowing he must.

He knew she would want to freshen up.

Rong Yan nodded, then watched as Qin Ye left the courtyard.

She had wanted to tell him not to bother coming to find her, to simply busy himself with his own matters.

However—those words ultimately went unsaid.

"Prince..." The word Housekeeper Qian started to say snapped Rong Yan back to attention, and she turned to look. Prince? Prince what?
