Chapter 102 Of course it’s fastest to ask the person himself
The woman never expected that the girl in front of her would hit the nail on the head without her even saying a word about her purpose.
She sat back down, put away her previous disdainful expression, sighed, and looked sad.
She began to explain her purpose.
The woman said her name was Chen Jinmei. Her husband Kang Yan was a wealthy businessman who died suddenly of an acute illness a few days ago.
When she was heartbroken and preparing for her husband's funeral, she found that she could not find the land deeds, house deeds, account books or banknotes of the properties under her husband's name.
Normally, her husband never talked about business in front of her, and she never thought much about it. But now that he is suddenly gone, someone still needs to take over and manage the family business, and it is almost the end of the month and she still has to pay wages to the people in various businesses.
She was really at a loss, so she decided to look for the former butler who had recently resigned to retire, and ask him if he knew where the old master had kept all the important belongings.
As a result, the old housekeeper knew nothing about anything she asked. She walked back with a worried look in her heart. When she looked up, she saw the Tianming Pavilion and the notice in front of the door, so she came to try her luck.
Having said this, Chen Jinmei looked at Yun Qingqing hopefully:
"My husband worked so hard to build this family business. I can't let his years of hard work go to waste."
"If you can really help me find the property left by my late husband, you will be rewarded handsomely!"
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"The deposit is eight hundred taels, and it will be found today."
Chen Jinmei's face changed slightly, and she hesitated:
"I need a deposit? But I haven't received the family property yet, how can I come up with so much money? You can help me find something first. Not to mention eight hundred taels, I can even double it."
Yun Qingqing tapped the table with her fingers and looked directly at her:
"Eight hundred taels is almost all the cash you have, and what you are looking for is worth nearly a million. It's up to you to decide how to choose."
Chen Jinmei tightened her fingers, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said:
"The Pavilion Master is indeed a capable person, but it is impossible for me to carry so much silver with me when I go out. Why don't you come with me to the mansion to get it, so that you can help me calculate where my husband's inheritance is."
She had just counted all the silver bills in her hand yesterday, and it was exactly eight hundred taels, no more, no less, and she had never told anyone about this.
Now she couldn't help but believe that the leader of Tianming Pavilion really had some skills.
If you ask her for help, you will definitely be able to find all of your husband's inheritance.
Yun Qingqing didn't waste any words and stood up directly:
"Let's go."
She casually drew out two indentures and asked Mu Hongling to call the people to accompany her.
Two girls named Lu'e and Lianxia followed her happily and they went out together.
When we arrived at the Kang family's house, it was already dark.
The mansion was filled with eternal lamps for keeping vigil, so it wasn't dark, but it did look eerie because of the white banners and wreaths everywhere.
The two girls, Lu'e and Lianxia, felt goose bumps all over their bodies. They could not help but huddle together and followed Yun Qingqing closely.
Yun Qingqing suddenly stopped and looked back at the two of them:
"Hold out your hand."
Lu'e and Lianxia didn't understand why, but they still stretched out a hand each.
Yun Qingqing drew a few strokes on the palms of both of their hands.
"If you feel uneasy, just put your palm to your heart, and you'll be fine."
Having said that, she continued walking forward.
Lu'e and Lianxia only felt their palms slightly warm and subconsciously put them against their chests. Sure enough, they felt that the coldness around them had dissipated and their panic was no longer there.
The Pavilion Master is really amazing.
Chen Jinmei first took a few people to the courtyard where she lived, and returned to her room to get eight hundred taels of silver.
When she handed the banknotes to Yun Qingqing, she felt a little painful, but when she thought about getting her husband's property back soon, she hardened her heart and handed over the banknotes.
She couldn't wait to ask:
"Where should I start looking?"
Yun Qingqing put away the banknote and said without hesitation:
"The funeral hall."
"What?" Chen Jinmei was startled, her face becoming a little strange, "You mean, those property receipts are actually in the mourning hall?"
Yun Qingqing shook her head:
"That may not be the case, but there are clues in the funeral hall."
Chen Jinmei looked hesitant and said:
"If that's the case, Master, please wait for a moment while I dismiss everyone in the mourning hall before looking for clues?"
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows:
"Your children's palace is half real and half fake, so you should have a stepson. Since he is the biological son of your husband and his first wife, he should be present when the inheritance is made. But you want to exclude him?"
Chen Jinmei twisted her sleeves and sighed, saying:
"To be honest, this child lost his mother when he was young, and my husband was too busy with his business to discipline him. By the time I married him, his temperament had already been set and could not be changed."
"He is not even twenty yet, but he is already addicted to eating, drinking, gambling and other things. If the family business were handed over to him directly, I'm afraid he would squander it all in a few days."
"I think my husband was worried about this, so he hid all the house deeds and land deeds, but he got sick so badly that he didn't even tell me..."
She shed a few tears and sobbed a few times before continuing:
"So in order to prevent him from squandering the family fortune, I can only take over these things first, and when he matures and has tempered himself, I will take over little by little."
Yun Qingqing curled her lips lightly:
"Since you have made your decision, let's do as you say."
Chen Jinmei breathed a sigh of relief. Several people came to the outside of the mourning hall. She went in first and said a few words. Then a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old walked out with a haggard look.
The servants inside also left.
Yun Qingqing asked Lu'e and Lianxia to wait outside and she went into the mourning hall.
Right in front of them was a huge cypress coffin. Chen Jinmei was holding onto the coffin and wiping away tears:
"My dear husband, I will definitely help you protect the Kang family's business, and I will also do my best to teach Lei'er to walk the right path. You can go with peace of mind."
The originally calm candle flame in front of the spirit tablet suddenly burst into a flame.
But Chen Jinmei didn't notice it. She looked up at Yun Qingqing:
"Master, maybe you have figured out the clue now?"
"Okay." Yun Qingqing nodded.
He made a hand gesture, raised two fingers, and suddenly a piece of talisman paper appeared out of thin air between his fingers.
She stuck the talisman on the coffin lid. Chen Jinmei saw a golden light flash on the talisman and her eyes widened, her heart becoming more and more expectant.
The head of Tianming Pavilion is indeed an expert. It seems that she will be able to find out where Kang Yan has hidden his property soon!
At this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew into the mourning hall.
Chen Jinhua shuddered as she saw a few wisps of half-gray and half-white mist floating out of the coffin.
Not only did the fog linger for a long time, but it gathered together and gradually took the shape of a human figure.
Chen Jinhua's whole body was stiff, her eyes were filled with fear, and she screamed "Ah!" and fell to the ground!
“Ghost!” She rolled and crawled to hide behind Yun Qingqing, “Master! There is a ghost! You, you should capture him quickly…”
Yun Qingqing curled her lips without a smile:
"That won't do. If you want to know where he hid his property, of course the fastest way is to ask the owner."
As he spoke, the cloud of mist had completely taken on a human form, and made a sound that made Chen Jinmei's scalp explode:
"Evil woman...give me back my life..."
