"The official merely wanted to make sure Your Excellency's stay was comfortable, but since Your Excellency is reluctant, I won't insist. This courtyard does look quite inviting; no wonder Steward Li settled in and didn't want to move. The official would quite like to stay here for a few days. Madam Lin, would you arrange that for me?" Ceng Lu said with a suggestive glance at Lin Yue.
Lin Yue had always found Ceng Lu repugnant, and seeing that he felt entitled to stay in her home, she naturally couldn't agree. "My lord, in our humble countryside, there are not many yards available, and the living space is limited. Accommodating Steward Li and his entourage has already maxed out our capacity. I'm afraid there is no room for a revered Buddha-like figure such as yourself, my lord. Please return to your grand mansion. Do not trouble this lowly woman."
