Chapter 498 Haunted House
The courtyard was silent, with only the occasional breeze blowing.
The handsome young man and his wife hugged each other tightly, looking very sweet.
Mu Qing suddenly lowered his head, his lips brushing against Hu Xiner's ear: "Really?"
Hu Xin'er didn't want to answer this question, so she pleaded, "Let me go first, I'll come back later..."
She whispered a few words, her voice almost as low as a mosquito's buzz, but what she said made Mu Qing feel like he had discovered a new world. The resentment in his eyes gradually turned into astonishment.
"...In short, this is it. If you want to get something for free, let me go first!" Hu Xiner didn't dare to look at his expression after she said that. She pushed Mu Qing away and pretended to be calm as she adjusted her skirt and hairpin.
Mu Qing stood there blankly, his eyes gradually brightening.
"Don't tell this to anyone else!" Hu Xiner warned and walked out.
Alas, in fact, being with Mu Qing every day, she knows best how hard her husband is to hold back and how strong his self-control is.
But for these few days, the young couple had been with their family, and being in the carriage was too much of a challenge to her bottom line, so she didn't dare to move at all.
Even if she was teased by Mu Qing and her face turned red and her heart beat fast, she was still as obedient as a rabbit - this is what Mu Qing said in a very resentful tone.
If he hadn't almost made Hu Xiner cry that time, he would have suspected that his wife had lost her appeal.
The soundproofing conditions in the inn were so poor that they didn't even dare to do anything slightly intimate, let alone say sweet words.
Because the aunt with sharp eyes is eavesdropping online next door.
Ever since they were interrupted by their aunt before they could even kiss, the couple has been acting out of affection and restraint with propriety, and has never done anything that might involve pink bubbles again.
Thinking of this, Hu Xin'er suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Could it be that Mu Qing's hostility towards her aunt was because of something like this...
No, no, no, how could she think of her husband like this?
Although her husband is jealous and likes to tease her on weekdays, he is not that beastly, right?
While she was daydreaming like this, she had already walked to the door.
Zhao Si asked nervously and anxiously, "Sister Caishen, what do you think?"
"This yard is just okay. Although it has everything, it's very troublesome to take care of. It's very cold and quite remote. Would you like to rent it for fifty taels a month?" Hu Xiner directly listed all the advantages and disadvantages of the yard.
Zhao Si praised, "Sister Caishen really has a good eye. In just a few moments, she's already surveyed the entire mansion clearly. But 50 taels... is indeed too low."
"Then let's go to another place." Hu Xin'er didn't bother to talk nonsense and directly revealed her true colors. "I won't hide it from you. My target price is 50 taels. Even if it's a penny more, I won't rent it."
Zhao Si looked very troubled: "Sister God of Wealth, aren't you making things difficult for me? 100 taels reduced to 50 taels, that's directly cutting it in half!"
Hu Xin'er smiled and said, "Yes, I am just trying to embarrass you."
Zhao Si was dumbfounded: "Sister God of Wealth, even if you want to torment me, you don't have to sacrifice your own affairs, right?"
"You want me to help you open a shop, don't you? You have to show some sincerity, right?" Hu Xin'er grasped his weakness and said rudely. "I don't intend to sacrifice myself."
When Zhao Si was looking worried, footsteps suddenly sounded from the bluestone brick alley.
He didn't pay attention at first, but was thinking about countermeasures, but the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stood next to him.
"What can I do for you, young lady?" Hu Xin'er asked curiously.
The person who suddenly walked towards me was a woman with some fine braids on her head. She looked cute and playful, but also neat and decisive.
"Are you planning to buy this yard?" the woman asked crisply. After her eyes moved around Hu Xiner for a few times, they fell on Mu Qing's face.
Hu Xin'er was a little confused. Could this be another case of her husband attracting unwelcome romance? But it didn't make sense. Since arriving in Qingzhou, the couple had been practically inseparable. How could a woman they didn't recognize suddenly appear?
Seeing her defensive look, the woman smiled and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. I was just surprised to hear the rent was 50 taels a month."
Zhao Si also looked at the woman with suspicion. After hearing these words, his expression immediately changed. "Why are you so surprised? There is no place in Qingzhou City that is cheaper than this."
The woman retorted directly: "But cheap goods are not good, right?"
"Girl, please don't slander someone's innocence out of thin air!" Zhao Si was a little angry at her words.
He pointed to the interior of the house and asked, "You can take a look for yourself. Why is my yard not a good place?"
He paused as he spoke, frowning and saying, "Wait, you're not..."
The more he looked at the woman, the more familiar she looked. Suddenly, a face he hadn't seen in a long time appeared in his mind. When he combined that face with the person in front of him, he immediately gasped: "You, you are Miss Du?"
What? Miss Du?
After hearing these three words, Hu Xiner was also a little confused.
Miss Du, isn’t she the girl from the martial arts school who caused Lu Yunjue to expose his ugly face in front of everyone and then sent 100 taels of silver as an apology gift?
Hu Xiner originally thought that Miss Du should be a chivalrous woman, but she didn't expect that the person in front of her was actually a gentle and pretty lady.
Miss Du was not at all annoyed when her identity was exposed: "Zhao Silang, long time no see. How are you?"
Zhao Si took a step back cautiously: "Give up, we are not suitable."
Miss Du shook her head, as if she was helpless, and as if she disdained Zhao Si's startled look.
Hu Xin'er recovered from her shock and asked cautiously, "Miss Du, what brings you here?"
Miss Du stroked her hair and said, "I have received the one hundred taels you sent back. We heard that you were hanging out with Zhao Si, so we came here to take a look at you."
Her demeanor was graceful and those who didn't know her might have thought she was very familiar with Hu Xin'er, but in fact, they were just strangers meeting for the first time.
Miss Du seems to have a wonderfully calm aura that makes people calm down involuntarily.
Hu Xin'er thanked her for her kindness: "Then I wonder if you have any advice?"
This house is located in a corner of Qingzhou City, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to pass by here.
Therefore, the appearance of Miss Du proved that she came specifically to find Hu Xiner.
After hearing Hu Xin'er's question, she frowned slightly: "Did Zhao Si tell you that this is a haunted house?"
