He trembled all over after just one glance.
"Lonely Grave Hill... Hehehe, it's definitely not a good place. I'll take my leave now."
Although his voice was suppressed, you could still hear the tremor in it.
He was in such a hurry that he tripped over the threshold as he went out.
Xiao Tang watched his retreating figure, which he had almost fled in panic, and her red lips curled into a wicked smile, revealing a victorious expression.
Ruyi asked, "Your Highness, is this place really not good?"
If that's the case, they'll need to go see the next place.
Xiao Tang smiled.
"Boss, how much is this shop? I want to buy it."
With her current savings, it's still enough.
In addition to the silver she had received from the Regent, she also received a reward of ten thousand taels from the Emperor for her meritorious service in controlling the plague. She had gone to the money exchange early on to exchange it for banknotes so that she could keep them safe.
She's from a wealthy family now!
The boss had a slightly smug look on his face: "You said it's an ominous place, so why are you asking me?"
Despite his anger, he was still somewhat nervous when Ruyi addressed the woman as "Princess Consort."
Xiao Tang pouted and shook her head, saying, "Boss, you're being too petty. I was just trying to help you get rid of him. You're not really planning to sell to someone so stingy and miserly, are you?"
Upon hearing this, the boss immediately shook his head.
"That's right! How much do you want to sell it for? I'll pay double for it, how about that?"
Ruyi, listening from behind, looked utterly astonished.
The princess is really willing to spend money when it comes to buying shops!
But……
This is about opening a pharmacy.
Upon hearing that this was a big deal, the boss readily agreed to Xiao Tang's request, handing over the land deed in exchange for the money.
The whole process went so smoothly that the boss was overjoyed.
Xiao Tang looked at the land deed in her hand and felt secretly delighted.
When Di Yanjue was sixteen, he got lost on Lonely Grave Mountain. It is said that he encountered a ghost on Lonely Grave Mountain at that time, so he was mentally unstable after returning.
Later... Xiao Rourou invited a master to perform a ritual, which restored Di Yanjue to normal.
Therefore, Di Yan was definitely an epic-level simp for Xiao Rou Rou.
On the way back to the mansion, even Ruyi noticed that she was in a beautiful mood.
but……
Ruyi was even more curious: "Your Highness, that Lonely Grave Mountain is a mountain of dead people, are you sure this shop... is okay?"
I had previously thought that the princess seemed to be quite accurate in judging feng shui.
I don't know if it's true or not.
Xiao Tang patted her on the shoulder.
Do you know what it means when two negatives make a positive?
Ruyi shook her head.
"Forget it, the southeast direction is Lonely Grave Hill, and the northwest direction is the Execution Ground. Such a good location, it's truly a blessed place, you know?"
The little girl still shook her head in confusion.
I was really confused.
She had never even considered such a thing.
And the guillotine... just thinking about it is terrifying.
The thought of headless, vengeful spirits wandering around the shop at night is enough to send chills down your spine.
Xiao Tang smiled and explained, "What are you afraid of? I'm here."
Although Ruyi didn't show it, her expression told her that she was very scared.
That's all.
This girl is a coward.
They returned to the Regent's Palace.
Just as I was about to go in, I suddenly saw a man dressed in plain clothes.
He stood at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion, peeking around curiously.
But the gates of the Prince's Mansion were closed.
He carried a bundle on his back, and looked pale and thin, probably having traveled a long way to the capital.
The man heard the sound of the carriage, turned his head, and saw Xiao Tang.
His eyes immediately lit up.
The bright light was like a wolf cub that hadn't eaten for two days seeing meat.
He rushed excitedly toward Xiao Tang's carriage.
"Tangtang, it's been a long time! You've really risen to a high position!"
A man's first words reveal him as a seasoned veteran of the underworld.
Xiao Tang's expression froze.
Ruyi instinctively shielded Xiao Tang, looking at him warily, "Who are you? How dare you be so disrespectful to our Regent's Consort!"
Upon hearing this, the man's smile vanished.
His expression darkened. "Tangtang, that's not fair of you. We were engaged back in the countryside. Now that you've married into the Regent's Palace, do you no longer recognize me as your brother Wu?"
Brother Wu?
Who is it?
Xiao Tang was completely dumbfounded.
To be honest, the original owner was just cannon fodder. The book didn't describe her much at all, let alone this so-called Brother Wu.
Following the original owner's memories...
She seemed to recognize the person in front of her, Wu Shi, the original owner's childhood sweetheart from the countryside.
It has to be said that the original owner was a real fangirl. She had several childhood sweethearts in her mind, and what's most outrageous is that the appearances of these men in her mind were all beautified and filtered.
The Wu Shi in the original owner's mind was quite handsome...
The man in front of me was pale and thin, and he certainly didn't look like the handsome guy I'd ever seen.
She frowned.
"Is there something you need?"
Seeing that she was finally willing to talk to him, even though she was a little cold, Wu Shi wasn't angry. Instead, he strode forward.
But Ruyi stopped her.
"How dare you!" Ruyi shouted.
Xiao Tang sighed and pulled Ruyi away. "It's alright."
"Sister Tangtang, here's what happened. Your brother Wu has recently fallen seriously ill. I've searched all over the countryside for doctors, but nothing works. I'm at my wit's end and have no choice but to find another way."
"Now that I've heard you've married into the Regent's Palace, you'll surely be able to find me a good doctor to treat my illness, right?"
Wu Shi smiled.
