Chapter 91: Secured at the Lowest Price

However, the next moment, Shu Yu said, "This money is not easy to get, so I need to go back and discuss it with my parents. Let's see if we can find a way to raise some money from relatives and friends, after all, we will need capital to do business later."

Everyone in the room sighed, but Butler Yu was getting impatient and was about to say that if they couldn't come up with the money, they wouldn't rent it out.

To everyone's surprise, Shu Yu said, "Butler Yu, could you wait for me a moment? My home is in Shangshi Village, not far from here. I'll be back this afternoon."

Butler Yu paused, his raised hand still. "Shangshi Village??"

Shu Yu looked completely innocent. "Yes, I promise the round trip will take no more than an hour."

Steward Yu frowned. He had personally handled the investigation into the matter of Granny Ruan colluding with the steward of the manor to buy and sell the twins. He also knew that the twins lived in Shangshi Village.

Butler Yu suddenly remembered Quan Zhongren's introduction and asked hesitantly, "Your surname is Lu?"

Shu Yu nodded. "Yes..."

"I heard there are twins surnamed Lu in Shangshi Village, a boy and a girl? Do you know them?"

Shu Yu instantly took a step back defensively. "Why are you asking about the twins? You... could it be that your Yu family hasn't given up on the idea of ​​taking my younger brother and sister away? I've heard that Master Yu didn't know about this, and he even went and smashed up the Ruan family's property. Isn't that all in the past?"

Butler Yu looked at her with a complicated expression. It turned out that the twins were actually her younger brother and sister. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Miss Lu, let's sit down and talk about renting the shop."

Shu Yu remained unmoved. "Butler Yu, renting this shop has nothing to do with my younger brother and sister. I do like the location of this shop, but I won't trade them for it. I thought these were two separate matters, so after learning from the people at Quanzhong that this shop belonged to the Yu family, I thought it shouldn't be confused. Anyway, we didn't know each other, and both our families are innocent victims. But if you're going to try to take advantage of my family, I... I won't rent it."

"Miss Lu." Seeing that she was about to leave, Butler Yu hurriedly stopped her and said helplessly, "Miss Lu, please calm down and listen to me. Our master really didn't know about this matter. The rumors about adopting twins were just a frame-up. Who knew that the Ruan family would take the opportunity to try to harm your family? This matter is indeed over."

"real?"

Butler Yu nodded sincerely, "Really."

Quan Zhongren, who was a middleman, overheard the whole thing. He was well-informed. Although Master Yu's family lived in town, how could someone of his stature not know that he had sent people to vandalize a farmer's house?

But what she didn't know was that the rumored twins were actually the younger brother and sister of the girl in front of her.

Seeing that Steward Yu's attitude had softened, everyone knew this was a good opportunity and quickly offered Shu Yu a few words of advice.

Shu Yu nimbly descended the steps and soon sat down with Butler Yu in a room that had already been prepared for a detailed discussion.

“Miss Lu, I apologize for raising the rent a little earlier. I did it on purpose because you are young and I was afraid you were just being unreasonable. Now that I know your family's situation, let's have a proper talk. According to the market rate here, this shop is worth about three taels of silver.”

Quan Zhongren's lips twitched. Three taels of silver was probably the lowest price he could get.

Butler Yu then added, "Of course, Miss Lu can still negotiate the price."
