This Manor Is So Huge
When Grace left Dawnville, Evan Xiao asked her to leave Cutie Pie with him, saying he needed it for something.
So Grace left Cutie Pie with him.
Later, when Evan Xiao arrived in Yan City, he said Cutie Pie was with Shannon and would come along with her and the others.
And now, looking at it—he was actually right...
......
Wendy Zhu, one of the royal consorts, was part of Colin Gu's household, so she and the other consorts were released along with the Gu Family and became commoners.
Since Colin Gu was expelled from the Gu Family genealogy, there was no longer any place for them in the Gu household.
So, most of the consorts basically returned to their own families.
Including Consort Vivian, who had given birth to a daughter for Colin Gu—she returned to her own family, the Yuan Family in Danyang City.
As for Wendy Zhu... Minister Zhuo's feelings toward her were complicated.
On one hand, he despised her because of Grace Wan's actions.
On the other hand, he felt guilty for having personally destroyed her marriage.
After much consideration, Minister Zhuo arranged a residence for her and assigned some servants so she could live alone.
......
Meanwhile, Grace's second uncle and his family also arrived.
When they arrived in Yan City, they headed straight to the Marquis Manor, saying they came to pay respects to Grace's grandparents.
Naturally, her grandparents asked them, "Have you bought a house yet?"
"How could the servants possibly know about buying a house?" Aunt Leah Zhu said. "We planned to take care of it ourselves after we arrived!"
"So where do you plan to stay now?" the old lady asked.
Aunt Leah Zhu smiled warmly and said, "We just toured the Marquis Manor and found it so spacious! There are still many empty rooms. Mother, may we stay here for a while?"
"Yes, Grandmother, that way I can come greet you every day," Queenie Zhu said.
The old lady looked at Lena and said, "You should ask your sister-in-law."
Lena smiled and said, "Of course. I'll have someone prepare a garden for you, so you can stay at the Marquis Manor for now."
Sister-in-law, I just saw the Fragrant Pavilion and absolutely loved it. How about we stay there?" Aunt Leah Zhu said.
Fragrant Pavilion was next to Grace's Serenity Pavilion, with a beautiful view. It was the best of the unoccupied gardens.
Since they made the request themselves, Lena couldn't refuse and nodded in agreement.
So, the whole family settled into the Fragrant Pavilion.
Grace was quite annoyed, but since they wouldn't be staying long, she let it go.
Lena let each garden owner name their own residence.
In the end, everyone basically named their garden after the residence they had back at the Prime Minister's Residence.
For example, her mother's place was still called Jade Hall.
Grace's residence was still called Serenity Pavilion.
Her father named Serenity Pavilion, hoping for the best for her. Grace kept the name.
......
The Blue Moon and Windspire Kingdoms no longer existed, and their Spirit Alliance members had all been reorganized.
Anyone who passed the Vermilion Spirit Alliance exam and was willing to settle in Yan City could join the Vermilion Spirit Alliance.
Naturally, Grace had to participate in the exam.
She wanted to enter the Vermilion Spirit Alliance and win first place in the annual exam to qualify for advanced study at headquarters.
As long as she went to headquarters and placed first in the advanced training exam, she could enter the Celestial Library.
Then she could get the key to the fourth floor of the Sanctum Tower.
Of course, her top priority was to cultivate and become a Spirit Master, gaining pure elemental power.
Only elemental power could unlock the upper floors.
