Chapter 501 Promise

Zhao Si felt that after Hu Xiner heard about this, she would be furious and even sever all cooperation with him.

After all, most people are extremely taboo about things like haunted houses.

So he lowered his head in frustration and said listlessly, "I owed Young Master Wang a favor in the past, so I helped sell the house. I didn't mean to deceive you... If you want to kill me or cut me up, just come here quickly!"

But unexpectedly, the key point Hu Xin'er grasped was - "So how much money can this house be bet on?"

"Ah?" Zhao Si raised his head suddenly, "Do you really want this house?"

Hu Xin'er said directly: "Thirty taels a month, no more."

Zhao Si was ecstatic: "You are truly a heroine! In fact, this entire house only costs three hundred taels. Would you like to buy this house as well?"

Hu Xiner decisively refused, she was not here to do charity.

"So, is thirty taels okay?" Seeing Zhao Si so excited, she felt a little regretful. Was her price too high?

After arguing for so long, she was a little tired and didn't want to waste any more time talking to Zhao Si.

So, she deliberately put on a sour face and said, "Is this price acceptable? If not, I'm leaving!"

"Oh, no, no, no!" Zhao Si stood up and ran to her quickly. "It's settled. I have a deed here, take a look!"

He excitedly pulled the deed from his pocket. Hu Xin'er glanced at it and sneered, "You're so good, Zhao Si! You said earlier that you didn't plan this. If you weren't deliberately deceiving me, why would you always carry the deed to this house with you?"

Zhao Si thought she was really doubting him, and quickly said, "Sister Caishen, you misunderstood. I am very loyal to my friends. This deed came into my hands half a year ago, and I have kept it close to me, so I was able to take it out so quickly!"

"Hmph, that's better." Hu Xin'er also saw the condition of the paper and felt that it didn't look fake, but she still looked unhappy.

Zhao Si was frightened by her look and never dared to do anything tricky again.

He watched Hu Xiner touching the money with excitement in his eyes.

Hu Xin'er suddenly paused and turned to look at Mu Qing: "I would have agreed to his request without your opinion. This is a haunted house after all. Why don't we go home and discuss it?"

Zhao Si became anxious when he heard this. The most frightening thing about such things is discussion!

But he didn't dare to dissuade Hu Xiner, and could only stare at the couple, looking as pitiful as a puppy.

Mu Qing fell silent after hearing this.

To be honest, although Zhao Si concealed the story of this haunted house, this house is indeed the cheapest and quietest place in Qingzhou.

"As long as we conceal what happened here before, mother and the others will probably not care." Mu Qing finally said.

Seeing him open up, Zhao Si was overjoyed. "After all, the Wang family is a family of scholars and they are very concerned about their reputation. When something happened, they kept their mouths shut. Therefore, not many people in the city knew about this matter. You can rest assured!"

"Are you serious?" Hu Xin'er looked at him suspiciously. Now she felt that everything Zhao Si said was unreliable.

Zhao Si wanted to show her his heart, "It's true! But every time I sell my yard, people either complain about the location or feel inexplicably unlucky after seeing the house, so they run away."

Hu Xin'er's eyebrows jumped: "Unlucky? So, this place is really haunted?"

"No, no, no!" Zhao Si realized he had let something slip and quickly added, "Most of those bad things were done by Miss Du! Young Master Wang was born weak and handsome, so she wanted to kidnap both of us to be her son-in-law. So she deliberately did bad things."

Hu Xin'er let out a long "Oh" and said, "So if we rent this yard, Miss Du will be targeting us?"

Zhao Si was speechless for a moment.

She looked at Zhao Si meaningfully. "There should be a bottom line in life. Some people say they sincerely want me to be their partner, but at the same time they're hiding all sorts of information and trying to trick me. Is this your way of doing business?"

Zhao Si racked his brains to tell lies, but was repeatedly exposed. Finally, he could no longer make up stories.

He said dejectedly, "Okay, I admit that I lied to you, but I can also see that your family is very skilled, and Miss Du is not an unreasonable person, so you won't lose anything by living here, right?"

Seeing that he had finally admitted his mistake but still insisted on renting a room for them, Mu Qing couldn't help but shake her head slightly: "Xin'er, he's still so stubborn, there's no need for us to say anything more to him."

This courtyard is very nice and he likes it very much, but he doesn't want to get involved with people like Zhao Si.

The two men walked out, leaving Zhao Si alone squatting on the ground, looking so lonely and pitiful.

He stared at the bluestone in front of him and couldn't help puffing out his cheeks.

If I had known earlier... I wouldn't have lied to them.

Just then, a pair of familiar embroidered shoes stopped in front of him.

He raised his head and saw Hu Xiner's face.

"Can the rent be reduced further?" Hu Xiner asked.

She was also a little depressed. She had thought that a cunning man like Zhao Si would try to keep her when she asked to leave.

But Zhao Si just squatted there without saying a word, forcing her to run back by herself.

Zhao Si was stunned for a moment: "It can't be any less, this is the lowest price that Prince Wang said."

Although Young Master Wang and he had a very good relationship, it was impossible for him to pay out of his own pocket to help Young Master Wang rent the house.

Hu Xin'er took out some money and gave it to him: "Here, thirty taels of silver, and bring me the deed."

She had already exchanged the one thousand taels of silver note for change.

The deed was in two copies. After Zhao Si put away his copy, he was stunned for a long time before he realized that he had rented out the yard?

He shouted at Hu Xin'er's back, "Sister Caishen, do you agree to be a partner with me?"

Hu Xin'er had already reached the corner of the street: "I don't do business with profiteers!"

Zhao Si sat on the ground in frustration: "What kind of thing is this? It helped my brother Wang, but it hurt me instead!"

But after a while, his eyes lit up again, he got up from the ground and ran forward quickly.

He ran for an unknown amount of time before he finally saw Hu Xin'er. He panted and asked, "Sister Caishen, I won't be a profiteer anymore. Can you help me make money?"

Hu Xin'er couldn't help but laugh at his embarrassed yet adorable appearance: "Are you so sure I can make money?"

Zhao Si nodded vigorously: "You really smell like money!"

Hu Xin'er held her forehead with her hand: "Can't you change the adjective?"
