Rong Jian hesitated for a bit before he asked, "You want a guest room?"
"Hm? What? Were you not planning to?" She tilted her head.
"No matter what, you are someone I have set my heart on, I will not treat you like an outsider." He answered her. Though it didn't answer her first question directly, the meaning was plenty clear.
Shen Tianyu widened her eyes fro a moment before schooling her expression again. "Do whatever you want." She said in a calm voice. However, here heart was quivering, both from happiness and from fear.
They didn't talk anymore as Rong Jian led her to a room in the center of the residence. The courtyard was a little to the right of the center but was still a pretty good place nonetheless. Rong Jian turned to her once they entered the gates.
"You'll be staying here for the duration of your stay. Just call for me if you need anything, I'm right there." He pointed to the other side, outside the courtyard, where the Master residence was. "The servants are also for you to order, if they do something wrong, you are free to punish them, no need to ask for my permission."
'The Master residence is right there so this means... this is the Mistress's courtyard right? And he's really letting me do with the servants as I please? Isn't he worried I'll do something bad? Though I do admit it's moving to be trusted this much and treated so well.' Shen Tianyu commented in her head as she listened to Rong Jian speak.
"Wouldn't it look bad though? Besides, I'm not officially acknowledged, wouldn't your parents get upset?" She objected softly, not denying but questioning him.
"Who cares what outsiders think. And father and mother wouldn't be upset. In fact, they've been bothering third brother and I to hurry and find a wife anyways. As long as the wife we find isn't some random barbarian, they'll be fine with it."
"So you found me to stop them from bothering you?" She asked as she quirked her brow, a smile on her mouth. She didn't actually mean it, she knew by now he wasn't here just for such a small reason.
"No. Father and mother, and the nobility have shown, I can't presume Third Brother's opinion so I can't speak for him, that one must only marry one they love. Otherwise, the home will fall apart or rot from the inside. The noblewoman are fitting over themselves all the time, even more crude than barbarians, and that is because the noble men marry unnecessarily. Father married mother out of love and they're fine. Comparing the two, it's easy to tell which one is better for all parties involved." He answered back with a dead serious face.
Three black lines momentarily appeared on Shen Tianyu's head. "You don't have to be so serious. I was just joking you know?"
"Even so, I wanted to answer you seriously."
"Well, I'll go check out this courtyard okay?" Shen Tianyu swerved them off to another topic, not knowing how to deal with this man.
Rong Jian nodded and Shen Tianyu proceeded to walk around the courtyard, taking a cursory glance at the beautiful garden before heading into the room. There was a spacious reception area. Behind it was a dinning room and behind that, the bedroom. The whole thing was quite spacious but it didn't give an empty feeling, like there was too much space. Rather, everything was cleverly spaced so that they were enough to show the Master's power but not to the point of being narcissistic or gaudy. The designs were the same, albeit the decorations were a little feminine, this courtyard was supposed to be for a woman so it was fine.
"This courtyard is quite beautiful and well-maintained." Shen Tianyu gave her appraisal after looking around.
"Does Wifey like it?" He asked.
She raised an eyebrow. "I've given it a positive review so what do you think that means?"
"But I want a direct confirmation from Wifey. I don't like those indirect ways." He puffed his cheeks in a pout.
"But that's just how I talk." Shen Tianyu also put her hand son her hips. But she soon let them down. "Fine, fine. I really like it okay?"
Rong Jian's cheeks finally deflated and he let out a smile. "As long as Wifey likes it, then it has served it's purpose."
"Weren't you going to give me a tour of the Wangfu? Lead the way." Shen Tianyu indicated to the moon gate.
They spent the rest of the day in the Wangfu, one showing the other around the whole residence. The kitchen, the servant's quarters, the other guest rooms, which consisted of every other courtyard that weren't the two central ones, even the guard's barracks were shown to the new woman no one else had ever seen before.

They ate dinner together, a feast for two brought in by the servants. There was a variety of dumplings, wonton and soup dumplings. Snow fungus soup, braised beef, and Peking duck, all her favorites. Apparently, Rong Jian had been paying close attention to her eating. As they say, the best way to a man's heart was through his stomach, and it was also true for some women. Shen Tianyu just happened to be one of those women. To be exact, she could live off of plain rice alone but she would also eat extravagant food, as long as her budget allowed it.
'If you can eat good food, why waste the opportunity!" was her philosophy. If she couldn't eat it, she would be upset than forget about it. If she could, she'll go get it immediately.
Shen Tianyu didn't care that Rong Jian had been concentrating on her eating habits though, she was happy to see so much good food right before her eyes that she was almost drooling. She still had the self-restraint to let Rong Jian, the Master of the Wangfu, to take the first bite though. After that, she dug into the food like she was jumping into it. Rong Jian even had to worriedly warn her to eat slower a few times, afraid she would choke from eating so fast.
