“Haunted?”

Su Qing frowned. She didn’t believe in ghosts and G.o.ds. Someone must be playing tricks. They didn’t want someone to buy the Su residence.

“Yeah, the neighbors are scared away. People are shouting every night.”

The waiter bared his teeth and hugged his arm, looking frightened.

“That Master Su is wealthy.”

Su Qing changed the topic to the Su family’s property. The waiter became excited again.

“Isn’t that so? I heard that the bailiffs who raided the houses each obtained one or two treasures. They could feed and drink their entire family for a few years if they sold them.”

The shop a.s.sistant looked envious. Su Qing glanced at him and said,

“You’re an old friend of the cloth shop. Didn’t Second Master Su treat you well in the past?”

“He’s good, but who asked him to violate the law?”

The waiter put away the envy on his face, and his eyes were filled with sadness and nostalgia. When Second Master Su was around, he treated them very well. Now, the boss was ordering them around and treating them like strangers.

Seeing Su Qing looking at him, the shop a.s.sistant immediately put away his nostalgia for Su Hanxuan and said,

“I won’t say it anymore. It’s easy to lose your head.”

Su Qing gave him a tip of half a tael of silver just because he missed his father. The shop a.s.sistant was so happy that he almost went to heaven. What day was it today? The G.o.d of Fortune had blessed him to meet the female Bodhisattva. He was even more attentive to Su Qing. He ran to pick out clothes for Su Qing according to the size she wanted.

“Madam, do you think these two clothes are okay? I’ve helped you look carefully. There’s no knot at all. The st.i.tches are dense, and the workmans.h.i.+p is good.”

“Alright, 1’11 take these two.”

Su Qing handed the silver to him and asked him to pay the bill for her. She even told him to keep the rest of the money as a tip. The waiter was so happy that he almost called Su Qing, his ancestor. He wrapped the clothes and handed them to Su Qing with both hands.

“Madam, I’ve wrapped it for you. You’re welcome to come again next time.”

Su Qing took the package the waiter handed to her.

“Help me do something.”

The waiter happily went over to listen. He was helping Madam and earning money!

He was stunned when he heard Su Qing’s instructions…

Su Qing asked the shopkeeper to deliver the goods and even asked the waiter to deliver the goods to her. The cloth shop also had this service, but there was a service charge for the delivery.

When Su Hanxuan was the boss, there was no such thing. Even if he only bought a hemp s.h.i.+rt, if the customer asked for delivery, he would give it to them unconditionally.

Su Qing brought the shop a.s.sistant out of the cloth shop and went to a painting and calligraphy club for a while. When the shop a.s.sistant came out, he was holding a few notices.

Su Qing then left the painting and calligraphy club and returned with the new clothes to the alley.

Ji Shuisheng was already burning with anxiety. He would have gone looking for her if Su Qing had not returned soon.

“Change your clothes, and we’ll go to the yamen.”

Su Qing handed Ji Shuisheng a luxurious robe. She had initially wanted to buy ordinary clothes that would be unrecognizable among the commoners.

However, she changed her mind after listening to the waiter and transformed into the most expensive clothes in the cloth shop.

“Why did you buy such good clothes?”

Ji Shuisheng took the robe and looked at it. The satin material was smooth, and the color of the tile blue was very eye-catching. There was also a piece of jade inlaid on the belt. Just this piece of jade was worth some money.

“I have to do something important.”

Su Qing explained calmly. She took out her clothes from her bag and changed into them. It was a brocade dress, purple-red. A circle of black mink fur was sewn around the dress’s collar. The mink fur was s.h.i.+ny and looked n.o.ble.

She didn’t say anything about what she was doing.

Ji Shuisheng was already used to Su Qing’s behavior. After all, she had to do serious things. The two of them quickly changed their clothes. Su Qing rubbed the disguise cream on Ji Shuisheng’s face. Ji Shuisheng’s heart was restless from Su Qing’s service.

Su Qing changed Ji Shuisheng’s face and changed her appearance from an ugly woman to a graceful and n.o.ble lady.

Su Qing saw that Ji Shuisheng’s face was lacking something. Then, she pasted a mustache on Ji Shuisheng’s face before nodding in satisfaction. The two of them looked like a wealthy middle-aged couple with a lot of style.

Everything was ready. Su Qing said to Ji Shuisheng,

“Let’s go to the government office.”

“You have to tell me what to do?”

Ji Shuisheng could not figure it out. Wasn’t he here to find the key? Go to the magistrate’s office to openly ask for a favor.

“I’m going to buy a house.”

Su Qing turned around and smiled at him.

“We need a place to stay in Luo City.”

“Can’t we stay at the courier station?”

Ji Shuisheng could not understand what Su Qing was up to. They didn’t have many opportunities to come to Luo City. They could stay at the relay station, but why would they be so extravagant to buy a house?

“My family’s old mansion.”

Su Qing told Ji Shuisheng what the waiter said,

“I suspect that someone is using my house to play tricks.”

“You say it like that. Then buy it and see what the h.e.l.l it is.”

After hearing Su Qing’s words, Ji Shuisheng felt things were not simple. Even if there was no ghost, that house was Su Qing’s old house. He could not let it fall into the hands of others.

The two of them decided to go to the government office together. It would be inappropriate to ride a horse in such luxurious clothes. They went to the car market to buy an elegant carriage, put it on the horse, and hired a coachman before heading to the government office.

After arriving at the government office, Ji Shuisheng got out of the car to talk to the runner guarding the government office. Su Qing sat in the car and waited.

Hearing that Ji Shuisheng was here to buy a house, the bailiff told him to wait and sent someone to report to the lord.

Ji Shuisheng’s sharp eyes saw the sign beside the government office saying the property was for sale. The first one was the Su residence.

“Sir wants you to go in.”

The bailiff returned very quickly and let Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing in to talk.

They did not need to enter the lobby because it was not a lawsuit. The bailiff took them to the living room in the backyard through the corner gate.

The Zhizhou was wearing his official robe and sitting steadily on an armchair. He was holding a cup of tea and sipping it.

When he saw Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng enter, he did not even lift his b.u.t.t. He pointed at a chair at the side and asked them to sit down.

“Which house are you going to buy?”

Zhizhou put down his teacup and asked Ji Shuisheng arrogantly.

This Zhizhou looked to be in his thirties. He had a pale face, no beard, and his eyes were swollen. He looked like a drunkard at first glance. He was probably an official who had bought it with money. The first thing he did was naturally to get his capital back.

“It’s the Su residence on Mongjiao Street.”

Ji Shuisheng hurriedly bowed to the Zhizhou. This was the address written on the notice board outside. He spoke according to the notice board.

When he heard that Ji Shuisheng wanted to buy the Su residence, the Zhizhou’s eyes lit up. That residence could be paid for the most, but it was also the most difficult to sell. He initially wanted to live there himself, but when he heard that the previous Zhizhou’s family had been killed and the original owner’s family had been destroyed, he felt that the house’s feng shui was not good. It was better to exchange it for money.

However, after marketing it for so long, no one bought it. It was only later that he found out that the house was haunted. He brought people to capture it twice and saw a pale ghost floating in the air. The bailiffs were scared away.

That house was a long-standing problem now. No one cared about it at all. These two people must have come from other places and did not know the situation of that house.

The Zhizhou was happy in his heart, but he still looked at Ji Shuisheng and asked without batting an eyelid..
