Chapter 191 Thinking he had the ability, he bought it.
The news that Ji the Richest Man had abandoned Ji Yifei and his mother for his first wife and their son had already spread throughout Shengjing.
The broker had obviously heard about this as well, and now he looked worried, fearing that Young Master Ji's actions would affect his house-selling journey.
He can get a cut of fifty taels from this order!
His gaze toward Ji Yifei immediately turned hostile.
Ji Yifei's gaze became even more hostile.
This woman not only stole Bingyue's beloved, but also caused his family to be destroyed and made him a laughing stock in the capital.
Most importantly, because of his father's departure, his family has fallen into poverty, and all the guys who used to call him brother no longer play with him.
This was something he, with his pride and arrogance, could hardly tolerate.
But... even if you can't stand it, you have to endure it.
They even had to sell their dignity to please those old men.
Thinking about what he had been through these past few days, he felt an urge to rush over and strangle the nonchalant woman outside the door.
However, just as he lifted his foot, before he could even step out the door, the already precarious signboard suddenly fell down with a "thud".
With a loud crash, the already dilapidated signboard, unable to withstand the weight, shattered into pieces.
And because of this, a deep pit appeared on the bluestone slab at the entrance.
Ji Yifei stopped again.
But this time she felt no anger, only fear.
I was drenched in cold sweat!
This...this...
If he hadn't stopped, the plaque wouldn't have fallen on the ground, it would have fallen on his head instead.
He didn't think he could withstand the heavy blows that even the hard bluestone pavement couldn't withstand.
While still feeling lingering fear, his emotions were also mixed: "What you just did..."
Yu Zhiyi looked at him indifferently: "Don't misunderstand, I just don't want your blood to taint this house."
After all, it's where she'll be living in the future. It would be quite unlucky for her to bleed on the very day she came to see the apartment.
Besides, this place isn't clean to begin with, and if there's blood, it'll be even more troublesome to clean up later.
Ji Yifei: "..."
Even after some time apart, this woman is still as infuriating as ever!
He took a deep breath, repeatedly reminding himself not to get angry, before asking, "What are you doing here?"
Yu Zhiyi said indifferently, "What's it to you?"
He then looked Ji Yifei up and down again: "But what about you? Why are you here?"
She could figure out the reason herself, but she couldn't be bothered to do it for such a trivial matter and such unworthy people.
Upon hearing Yu Zhiyi's question, the broker also remembered: "Oh right, Young Master Ji, what are you doing here?"
Even if this house doesn't have a sign, it still has an owner, right?
Is it really okay for an outsider like him to barge into someone else's house?
Although, this house is probably already abandoned.
Just as Ji Yifei was about to speak, a group of people suddenly walked towards the direction of the moat.
The leader was a tall, sturdy young man.
The boy was followed by a group of men and women, all of whom appeared to be quite young.
Ji Yifei's expression changed slightly when he saw these people. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Young Master, Young Master Zhang, and Miss Li."
Yu Zhiyi looked up at the sound, her gaze sweeping over the face of the leading boy before turning to the others, her brows furrowing.
Seeing that Yu Zhiyi did not bow, Ji Yifei lowered his voice and reminded her, "This is the young master of the Pingnan Duke's Mansion."
"That's Young Master Zhang from the Ministry of War's residence."
"That is Grand Tutor Su's youngest daughter."
He didn't introduce the others, because compared to these three, the identities of the remaining three were not worth introducing.
Of course, this is only relative to Yu Zhiyi.
Given his current status, even if he were to meet the family of a minor official, he would have to pay his respects.
"Oh, isn't this Young Madam Du?" It was the young master Zhang from the Ministry of War's residence who spoke. "Why aren't you at home thinking about how to win over Young Master Du? What are you doing here in this desolate wilderness?"
Miss Su chuckled: "Of course, it's because they feel that all their efforts are in vain, so they come out here to try and attract attention."
This Miss Su seems to be quite hostile towards her.
However, she wasn't surprised, because she remembered the rumors about Miss Su.
Before Du Ziheng got married, this Miss Su was his admirer and often chased after him.
In her previous life, after Du Ziheng got married, she made things difficult for Yu Jiaojiao quite a bit.
On the contrary, he felt a strange sense of kinship with You Bingyue, who was Du Ziheng's true love.
"Miss Su failed to marry into the Du family. She should think carefully about whether she did something wrong to win the hearts of Madam Du and Du Ziheng, instead of barking here and making things difficult for others."
"How dare you call me a dog?" Miss Su was furious.
"Isn't it obvious enough?" Yu Zhiyi asked, puzzled. "If you're not a dog, why do you like to bark for no reason?"
Miss Su: "..."
The young master chuckled: "Quick-witted, no wonder His Majesty made an exception and personally appointed him as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice."
Yu Zhiyi was too lazy to pay attention to him.
The young master looked at the broker beside him and said thoughtfully, "Are you here to buy a house?"
Before Yu Zhiyi could say anything, the broker explained to her, "The last buyer of this house was the young master."
Young people are always skeptical, and besides, the house is full of peach trees. In spring, the whole courtyard is full of blooming peach blossoms, making it a very pleasant place.
The young master loved painting and took a liking to the scenery here.
Although he had heard rumors about the house, he didn't take them to heart.
He doesn't believe in ghosts.
Unfortunately, no matter how stubborn he was, he couldn't outmaneuver the mysterious power.
He had only lived here for less than two months when he fell seriously ill twice.
At this point, he had no choice but to put up a sign and sell it.
Unfortunately, the rumors about the house were so deeply ingrained that no one bought it even after it had been listed for half a year.
With almost a year already in his possession, he was wary of the rumor about the "one-year" ownership period and was eager to sell, which led him to devise a way to do so.
He can have people stay in the house to test it out. If the people who stay there are fine, wouldn't that prove that there's nothing evil in the house?
He knew it was a bit unethical to do this, but compared to vague moral values, real money was clearly more appealing.
Besides, he stayed there for two months before the incident happened.
People who are just trying out the place will only stay for a few days, so nothing will happen... right?
"Is Physician Yu interested in this house? Why don't you go in and take a look?"
Seeing that Yu Zhiyi was standing still, he said, "You must have believed those rumors circulating in the streets, but there are no ghosts in this world."
Although he had personally witnessed Yu Zhiyi's ability to predict everything, he was still not entirely convinced.
She's just a little girl about his age. She's good at talking nonsense, but what real skills could she possibly have?
It must have been Prime Minister Du who did the research for her beforehand, wanting to mold her into an all-knowing charlatan.
He has always looked down on such charlatans.
However, today, this identity is exactly what he needs to use.
Since you're so awesome, you shouldn't be afraid to buy a haunted house, right?
What?
Fear?
That means all your skills are fake.
