Having the idea of repairing the house, Zhou Chenyu took time out of his busy schedule to learn about the various expenses of building a house in Qingshui Town. To build a good house, including labor, materials and other aspects, it would cost at least three hundred taels of silver.
"Three hundred taels of silver."
Zhou Chenyu leaned against the counter and divided the three hundred taels equally.
If Ruyi Pavilion's income can be maintained stably, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will only take two years to earn enough money.
A smile appeared on her face; this was much simpler than buying a house and paying off the mortgage.
Just as Zhou Chenyu was happily thinking about it, two people suddenly burst into Ruyi Pavilion, shouting loudly. She looked closely and realized that it was Li Chunmei and Lin Shengcai.
When Wanqiu saw the mother and son shamelessly return again, she stepped forward and angrily rebuked them: "What are you doing here again?!"
Li Chunmei glanced at the valuables in the room and sneered, "You've made my son and me suffer so much, of course we're here for revenge."
"Yes! Seeking revenge!"
Lin Shengcai strode forward and blocked Zhou Wanqiu's path.
Wanqiu looked at his tall figure with trepidation. Zhou Chenyu didn't even glance at the two of them from beginning to end, but instead looked at the carriage outside the house. She smiled and said, "You two were sent by the Qian family, weren't you?"
?
How did she figure it out?
Lin Shengcai subconsciously looked at Li Chunmei, who was stunned for a moment, but still vehemently denied it, "I don't know who you're talking about! I only know that you made us lie in the wilderness all night and almost caught a cold! We came here today for this! You have to give me an explanation, or we're not leaving!"
Before Li Chunmei could finish speaking, a cold voice rang out from behind her.
"Who said they weren't leaving?" Xiao Qi walked into Ruyi Pavilion, clutching the hilt of her sword, and glared coldly at the two troublemakers.
Zhou Chenyu smiled as she looked at Xiao Qi, who had suddenly appeared. "Perfect timing!" she said, turning to the mother and son. "Seven Constables are right here. What grievances did you have? Speak up!"
this?
Li Chunmei originally wanted to play dirty tricks, but when she saw Xiao Qi in his blue robe, she was like a mouse seeing a cat. She laughed awkwardly a few times, secretly grabbed Lin Shengcai's hand, and the mother and son slunk away.
After they left, Wanqiu clapped her hands in delight, "Officer Xiaoqi, you came just in time. But how did you know something had happened here?"
Xiao Qi scratched her head sheepishly, and Zhou Chenyu chuckled, "Because some people made arrangements in advance."
After Li Chunmei and Lin Shengcai were chased away by Xiao Qi, Zhou Chenyu thought that the two shameless mother and son would make a comeback.
But she never expected that a few days later, a murder would occur in Qingshui Town, and the deceased were Li Chunmei and Lin Shengcai.
Upon hearing the news, Zhou Chenyu and Wanqiu followed the crowd to see what was happening, just as four constables were carrying two already pale, bleached corpses ashore from the river.
"Ah! It really is them!" Wanqiu, being timid, screamed in fright.
Zhou Chenyu had seen a similar scene at Qian's Manor before, so she was prepared and not as panicked as Wanqiu.
They waited to the side, watching as Xiao Qi and the others disposed of the body and took it away. Then the onlookers gradually dispersed.
Zhou Chenyu had just walked up to Yang Xi when Yang Xi looked at her and Wanqiu, whose expression was off, and asked, "Chenyu, why are you two here too?"
Zhou Chenyu blinked. "I heard that the dead people were a mother and child. I suspected it was them, so I came to check. I didn't expect it really was them."
