Tao Mingye sincerely said, "Thank you."
"You're being too polite, don't do this in the future," she said, a bit displeased.
He held her hand tighter, looking at her with such tenderness, and nodded, "Hmm."

Mrs. Cao acted quickly; even though she was very reluctant, she started handling the compensation promised by Tao Chengyin to Su Xing as soon as she returned from Tao Mingye.
It just so happened that there was a large courtyard in the Tao Mansion, as big as that of the legitimate son Tao Minghai, with a small existing kitchen; therefore, after Mrs. Cao assigned this courtyard to Tao Mingye, all she needed was to add a cook, three maidservants, and three young servants.
Su Xing moved into this large courtyard with Tao Mingye on the second day after marrying into the Tao Mansion.
