Chapter 86 Buying a House

The Ye family that Su Xi married into was wealthy. The reason why she was in such a poor state in Haiping Town was because she was robbed the first time she went out, not long after leaving the capital!

Liujia Lane is also in the East City District, not far from the General's Mansion where Su Qian used to live.

However, she was not very familiar with the place because she was in poor health and seldom went out.

So she found a little beggar and asked him to take her to Liujia Lane.

No. 82, Liujia Lane.

A wedding was being held, it was the wedding of Ye Wen and Su Xi.

Although the two had already held a ceremony on Longyu Island, it was too simple and they did not pay a visit to the Ye family's parents.

So, after several years of planning, the Ye family happened to hold their wedding today.

Because Ye Wen went to find Su Xi alone before and did not prepare any betrothal gifts, the Ye family also prepared betrothal gifts today, which will then become Su Xi's private property.

Just when the two were about to get married, Su Qian arrived at the Ye family.

Seeing the Ye family's house decorated with red silk, Su Qian understood instantly.

She casually threw a thousand-liang silver note and said, "I am the bride's sister."

The receptionist at the door quickly shouted, "Give the bride's sister a gift of 1,000 taels!"

1000 taels?

For the Ye family, it was considered a lot. Although they were well-off, they would not spend a thousand taels of silver casually.

And she is the bride’s sister?

Weren't they all exiled to a desert island?

Everyone was confused, even Su Xi wanted to lift the veil and look towards the door.

But he was stopped immediately by Ye Xun, as it was unlucky to lift the veil at this time!

It was not until Su Qian passed the front yard and arrived at the main hall that Ye Wen recognized her. "Sister Qian, are you here to attend my wedding with your sister?"

"Well, I came to the capital to take care of some things. I just wanted to see my sister, but I didn't expect to run into your wedding!"

Su Qian smiled at him and said, "You guys continue, don't worry about me. I will talk to my sister after she enters the bridal chamber."

"Okay, wait a moment!"

Ye Xun nodded and motioned the host to continue, and he and Su Xi completed the wedding process smoothly.

Afterwards, the newlyweds entered the bridal chamber and Su Qian followed them.

Ye Wen, who had put Su Xi on the bed in the bridal chamber, said softly to Su Qian, "Sister Qian, Xi'er has been thinking about you these days. Now that you are together, you can talk more. I will go to greet the guests first. I will ask someone to prepare a guest room for you, so you can spend more time with Xi'er these two days."

"Thank you so much, brother-in-law!"

Su Qian responded.

Ye Wen also dismissed the maid who served Su Xi so that the two of them could be alone together.

"Ah Qian, why are you here?"

There was no one around, so Su Xi finally lifted the veil and looked at Su Qian with joy.

Seeing Su Xi in high spirits and with a flushed face, Su Qian knew that she was not being bullied in the Ye family, so she felt relieved!

"Well, I came to the capital to do some business, and just happened to come see you."

Su Qian helped her sit down and said softly, "How are you doing in the Ye family? Are they treating you well?"

"Well, my parents-in-law are very reasonable and treat me very well."

Su Xi nodded shyly and then asked, "Where are my family? How are they doing in Longyu Island now?"

"They are...very good!"

Su Qian hesitated for a moment and decided not to tell Su Xi about those things. She didn't want to disrupt her peaceful life.

"Ah Qian, you just hesitated! Tell me, did my mother and the others have an accident?"

Although Su Xi had always been careless in the past, she was not stupid. She immediately realized that Su Qian was hiding something from her.

"It's really nothing, but they were brought to the capital! Fortunately, I came back in time to stop them. Now they are outside the city."

Su Qian stood up and looked out the window, closed the carved window, returned to Su Xi and spoke in a low voice.

"What? They are already outside the city, why don't you bring them here?"

Su Xi let out a cry of surprise.

"They had no choice but to come back. There must be many eyes watching at the city gate, so I didn't bring them into the city for the time being. I will bring them in after this is over."

"What happened? Who brought my parents and aunt to the capital? Were they forced?"

Su Xi asked nervously, she felt that things were not simple.

"Don't worry about these. Just be a good bride and I'll take care of the rest."

Su Qian gently grasped her hand and comforted her, "I came here this time to talk to you about something!"

"What is it, you say?"

Su Xi immediately replied, "As long as I can do it, I will do it immediately!"

"It's like this. I'm going to stay in the capital for several days, but I can't stay in an inn without paperwork. I want you to buy a house in your name! A bigger one, so my mother and my second uncle and aunt can live there!"

Su Qian said softly, "A house with two or three entrances will do!"

"Okay, I'll have the maid do it right away!"

Su Xi originally wanted to let Su Qian stay at the Ye family for a few days, and when she heard that the house was for her parents to live in, she nodded in agreement!

She had originally planned to wait until next spring, after her husband graduated from high school, and then try to use her connections to bring her parents back.

Now that things had come to this, she no longer bothered to be polite with Su Qian and directly called the maid in to give instructions.

The maid Xiao Cui worked quickly and went to the pawnbroker to find three houses for the sisters to choose from.

One of them was the residence of a former fourth-rank official, but he sold it because he moved out of town at the beginning of the year. It is a two-story house with all the decorations new.

One of them is a three-story house, but no one has lived in it for many years and it is said that it is not very clean inside.

The other one is also a two-story house, and it is said that someone is living there. If you want to buy it, you can move in immediately.

The two-story house cost almost ten thousand taels of silver, but the three-story house was a little cheaper because it had been abandoned for many years, costing only five thousand taels.

Su Qian thought for a moment, took out a silver note worth ten thousand taels and gave it to the maid, asking her to buy the first house in the name of Su Xi.

Then he handed her a hundred taels of silver so that she could buy some daily necessities.

As for why I didn't choose the second one, it was mainly because it had been abandoned for too long, it was too troublesome to take care of, and it was easy to cause noise. In addition, the house was not clean and there must be a problem with the magnetic field. A healthy person would get sick if he lived in such a house for a long time. It was not suitable for living.

The third house is occupied and moving would be a hassle, so it would be better to just buy the first one.

The maid worked very quickly and finished it before dinner that day!

Xiao Cui handed the title deed and key to Su Qian and told her the address, which happened to be not far from Liujia Lane.

Su Qian handed the house deed to Su Xi and said, "Please keep this deed first. When things are over, I will probably buy another house. Then this house will be your dowry."
