Chapter 162 Acquiring a House and Buying Maids
"Judge?" Tang Chen's indifferent expression shifted slightly.
People from the underworld?
Tianxianzong is incredibly audacious; he even dares to mess with a righteous god like the Judge.
It's unclear what kind of power they're relying on.
Qingxuan replied, "She is a judge, but she is only three years old. She is just a temporary substitute to do chores and does not have any divine status."
She's just a temporary worker. If anything goes wrong in the underworld, they'll use her as a scapegoat. Who says you can't mess with someone like that?
"If she is truly as incompetent as you say, why don't you just assign any disciple to do it?"
Tang Chen's first reaction was that this person should not be underestimated.
"She conspired with vengeful spirits to kill the Third Elder, and in this great battle, she also used a scheme to severely injure me and Zhu Yi..."
Qingxuan gritted his teeth as he spoke of this, "The Grand Elder is unwilling to take action and get involved in karma. In the entire Tianxian, only you can kill her."
Tang Chen was slightly shocked.
A hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
This kid is interesting.

"Senior sister, didn't we come to the mortal realm to kill Qingbao? Why are we pretending to be mortals?"
A female cultivator followed behind Tang Chen.
It was Qingxuan who assigned her, saying it was to assist her in carrying out the plan.
Tang Chen's eyes turned slightly cold. "The elders have suffered so many losses, don't you learn anything?"
At this moment, Qingbao must be extremely wary of cultivators and want to kill them as soon as possible.
If she were to use her immortal status to forcefully confront Qingbao, it would be a direct confrontation.
Even with the suppression of the Book of Life and Death and the help of the vengeful ghost Fu Tu, it wasn't so easy to kill her.
She must disguise herself as an ordinary person, gain the other party's trust first, and then strike from behind to eliminate them completely.
"Senior sister is the smartest."
Qingbao can always win by using cunning.
Why can't they?
Tang Chen sat on the ground, holding an umbrella. The words "Selling oneself to bury one's father" were written on the ground.
Her appearance and demeanor were extraordinary, and soon a crowd gathered around her.
"Girl, didn't you sell yourself to bury your father? Where is your father?"
Tang Chen didn't even open her eyes, and said calmly, "Dead."
"How did he die?"
Tang Chen's lips moved slightly, "They were burned to death."
That fire still burns in her heart.
Don't you have any other relatives?
"My husband, my daughter, and my parents all perished in the fire... I am the only survivor..."
Her voice choked slightly as she spoke of this.
The people sighed, "He was a pitiful person. Has the murderer been caught yet?"
“Catching them won’t help,” Tang Chen’s eyes reddened. “The murderer colluded with those above him; the lives of ordinary people are nothing more than ants…”
The onlookers gasped.
I never imagined that something like this could happen in the Great Xia Dynasty.
“Girl, don’t be sad. We may not have much money, but we can still help you with the funeral arrangements. You don’t need to sell yourself. Please take us there.”
An elderly man immediately stepped forward and mobilized the people to help her.
Tang Chen was slightly taken aback; it was as if a drop of warm water had been poured into her heart, which had been frozen for a thousand years.
She lowered her eyes and said, "No need, I'm waiting for the right person to buy me."
"Oh, how pitiful."
The news spread quickly.
Si He took Qing Bao to eat at a restaurant.
The shopkeeper came in with documents. "Madam Sihe, this is the house you requested. It's ready-made, and the location is to your liking, but..."
"Just what?" Si He frowned slightly.
She wanted to start a new life in the capital with Qingbao, and the two of them needed a home to stay in.
Unlike the General's Mansion, which was cold and empty.
Rather, it's their home, full of life.
"However, this place is a haunted house. It's said that it's been haunted several times. The previous owner spent a lot of money to hire Master Wufeng, but it was all to no avail..."
The shopkeeper, fearing she would think he hadn't handled things well, quickly added, "But there's nothing I can do. This location is excellent. You want an existing house to live in, and you don't want to buy the land. Only this shop is willing to sell..."
"Look, do you need it? If you do, you can sign this transfer document. I will deduct the money from the restaurant's account."
That's right.
This restaurant was part of the dowry of the old lady of the Si family.
After being rescued by Qingbao, Madam Si gave a large portion of her dowry to Si He.
This restaurant was one of them.
In addition, Qingbao has a considerable amount of silver notes, which is more than enough to buy a house to live in.
Sihena took her grandmother's dowry, and it would seem pretentious not to use it when needed.
She then instructed the shopkeeper to keep an eye on things at the house.
Now, we've finally found someone willing to sell.
“I want this one,” Si He said firmly.
The shopkeeper was taken aback. "This is a haunted house!"
"Haunted house? How haunted?" Qingbao ate a meat bun with a loud gulp, while picking up some vegetables with her other hand.
"There's a ghost!" the shopkeeper exclaimed in horror.
Qingbao: "A ghost? Oh, it's alright. I thought there was a fairy!"
Shopkeeper: ? ? ?
Reversing the Heavenly Gang?
"Don't worry, I'll take it." Si He pressed his fingerprint on the document.
The shopkeeper went to make the arrangements with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
Si He sighed softly, "Qingbao, after we move in, you have to be careful and don't scare any ghosts, okay?"
She was already starting to worry about the ghosts inside.
Qingbao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to live in peace with ghosts."
That concludes the discussion.
“Mother, you’ve worked hard your whole life. The Emperor is going to bestow an imperial title upon you. Shouldn’t our family show some respect?”
Qingbao thought about how she would eventually unify the Three Realms and how others would investigate her background and find that she lived a simple life.
Where would that leave the face of the overlord?
"We need to buy a few servants. Your mother has always felt indebted to you." Sihe's eyes changed slightly as she said this.
She was once bullied by Si Yao, and even her daughter couldn't have a good life.
Qingbao and her family endured an incredibly difficult two years in the countryside.
Now that we have the means, we should naturally enjoy life.
The servants must buy more.
"Madam? You want to buy servants?" the waiter asked, not wanting to be bothered.
Si He looked at him, "Aren't you doing pretty well here?"
"It wasn't me, how could it be me? There are two girls downstairs, I heard their whole families were burned to death, it's so pitiful, they've been kneeling for three days now."
The waiter pointed out the window.
The street is visible right outside the window.
Two women in white sat on the ground, looking utterly alone and helpless.
So many people watch every day, but no one dares to buy.
"It's just because she's so beautiful that a wealthy man wanted to buy her as a concubine. But this girl has a strong sense of integrity and refused, insisting on being a maid and servant. But what wealthy family would dare to buy such a beautiful servant..."
Therefore, her beauty became her disadvantage.
The waiter sighed, "If I had money, I would buy her to be my wife, but I imagine the girl wouldn't want to."
Such integrity made Si He take a few more glances at her.
"This girl is really good."
She wanted to go down and take a look.
But then he found that his hand was being held.
Qingbao looked solemn. "Mother, wait."
