SIAS Chapter 298.2

Yi Qingqing’s mind was now filled with thoughts of whether Ah Yuan also had a system.

Her thoughts drifted to the possibility that Ah Yuan was also a transmigrator or a reincarnated individual who had won a lottery due to great merit in his past life.

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He was so intelligent; in his past life, he could easily have accumulated a lot of merit by doing anything, like researching things beneficial to the country and its people. It wasn’t surprising that he could win a lottery.

This also explained how he had survived a childhood without anyone caring for him.

The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt.

She patted Yun Guyuan’s hand reassuringly: “Good deeds will be rewarded. It’s all in the past now.”

Yun Guyuan: “???”

No. 44 and No. 45, Luogu Lane.

Yi Qingqing pulled Yun Guyuan aside to look at the two houses first.

It looked like it was built in the same batch, and it was very well preserved; even the material and style of the main gate were identical.

A large brass lock hung on the door.

Yun Guyuan stepped forward and unlocked the door to No. 44, then led Yi Qingqing inside.

The main gate is located in the southeast corner. To the right of the entrance is the southeast corner courtyard, next to which is a single room, which used to be the carriage room.

To the left is the front yard. Near the main gate are several rooms in the back building, which used to be where male servants lived.

There is another room in the southwest corner of the front yard, which used to be the south study.

After passing through the second gate with its hanging flower design, you enter the second courtyard.

There are west wing rooms and east wing rooms on the left and right, each with a side room. Between the main house and the west wing rooms, there is a covered corridor.

The main house has three rooms, with a side room on the east and west sides. Next to the east side room is a passageway, leading to the backyard, which is the third courtyard.

The third courtyard contains a row of rear buildings.

After learning that she owned a courtyard house, Yi Qingqing had borrowed some architecture books from the library to learn about its structure and history. Now she was explaining it to Yun Guyuan in great detail.

“Ah Yuan, our assigned houses are similarly structured, both with three courtyards. We can open a small door in the northwest corner of your courtyard and the northeast corner of mine, so we can visit each other!”

As she spoke, she pulled Yun Guyuan to the northwest corner of the courtyard, intending to show her the location of the door. Suddenly, she discovered that there was already a doorway in the courtyard wall there.

The other walls were fine, but this spot looked like a doorway had been carved out and hastily sealed up, as it was poorly sealed with incongruous adobe bricks.

Yi Qingqing pressed her hand against it. Why would someone use adobe bricks to fill in a doorway?

Boom!

Yi Qingqing quickly withdrew her hand, and Yun Guyuan pulled her away a little.

“Ah Yuan, I really didn’t use any force. Who laid these bricks? They’re so flimsy! They must have been lazy and didn’t step on them properly!” Yi Qingqing explained.

“I know, it’s because the bricks are of very poor quality,” Yun Guyuan said, suppressing a laugh.

“That’s great, we don’t need to open the door anymore. We have a ready-made one!”

“That’s true.” Yi Qingqing said with a silly smile.

“The previous owner opened the door well. It benefited us!”

Now they didn’t even need to go out; she simply pulled Yun Guyuan out through the side gate and arrived at the backyard of her house.

“Look, aren’t our two houses laid out exactly the same?” Yi Qingqing pulled him along as they walked through her yard.

“The house is completely empty, except for the bare walls, everything else is fine!”
