Chapter 28: Strange Shop
Wen Ling glanced at Gu Chenran and saw that he looked confident and didn't seem to be faking it.
She also knew Gu Chenran's situation, so why could he still be so calm?
I always feel like he already has some plan.
But since he didn't say anything, Wen Ling didn't ask any more questions.
The two of them are partners as husband and wife, and while they are in partnership, they each have their own "careers" to pursue.
In other respects, the two of them tacitly agreed not to interfere too much with each other.
Wen Ling likes Gu Chenran's sense of boundaries, which makes people feel comfortable.
She stood up and said, "Okay, that's why I came here today. Since there's no problem on your side, I'll get busy first."
"good."
Gu Chenran stood up to see him off, and when he saw him off to the gate of the courtyard, he asked casually, "It's already afternoon now, will you come back to eat together in the evening?
My uncle sent me a few four-gilled sea bass from the south of the Yangtze River. I heard they are quite rare and taste much more delicious than ordinary fish. ”
Wen Ling's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then I'll come back to eat today!"
Gu Chenran nodded: "Okay, then I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it in a while."
After Wen Ling left, Gu Chenran could hardly hide the pride in his eyes.
It’s really not easy to have dinner with Wen Ling every day!
Green Sword was almost blinded by the scene.
His lone wolf prince, who had maintained his pride even when his family fell into a quagmire, had turned into a little puppy in front of the princess?
Wen Ling went to see the shop first when he went out.
There are several shops in the capital included in the palace’s title deeds.
However, in Gu Chenran's previous state, most of their businesses were operating half-way, including bookstores, cloth shops, inns, etc., but there was not much profit and they were just run for show.
Some shops are simply empty. Someone might come and ask if the shop is for rent, but when they find out that it is the Prince of Chen's shop, they will be scared away.
Wen Ling found a street shop with a good location and scene among those empty shops.
This street is located right in the middle of the rich area and the ordinary people area.
At a corner, there is an independent two-and-a-half-story building, with no shops or buildings on either side.
There is also a small courtyard with its own well at the back.
Wen Ling was particularly satisfied when she saw it for the first time.
The feng shui of this place is so good, it can store wind and gather energy, and both the living and the dead can live here.
When Wen Ling was looking at the house, the lady boss of the food store across the street saw it and kindly reminded her, "Madam, you should look for another store as soon as possible. This store belongs to the prince, and it's not auspicious!"
Wen Ling asked curiously, "Why is it unlucky?"
The proprietress looked around before calling Wen Ling to come closer and whispered, "Madam, you didn't originally own this land, so you probably don't know the situation here."
"This building is not clean. I heard that it was an inn in the early years. I don't know what happened. The waiters and the innkeeper died of illness.
Since then, this small building has been haunted. Many people have seen lights on inside at night, shadows everywhere, and the noisy sounds from when the inn was open..."
The proprietress was just speaking when suddenly a cold wind blew past.
She shuddered suddenly and touched the goose bumps on her arms: "Look, this thing can't be talked about, it's so scary!"
This made Wen Ling very confused. She had just walked around the small building and didn't see a single ghost. It was very clean inside.
Seeing that Wen Ling was indifferent, the proprietress obviously didn't believe it.
She was a little helpless: "It's true, don't disbelieve it, many people here know about this, our local neighbors even deliberately avoid that area when they walk!"
Wen Ling knew that the other person was reminding her out of kindness, so she thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for the reminder. I will pay attention. By the way, you'd better not let your child go out today, otherwise something might happen."
Just when the proprietress was confused, Tingyin came in from outside.
"Madam, the mansion has brought the key to the second floor. We can go upstairs and take a look."
Wen Ling nodded and prepared to leave.
The proprietress suddenly thought of asking, "Madam, may I ask whose wife you are?"
Wen Ling said honestly: "Oh, I'm from Prince Chen's Mansion."
After saying that, he smiled at the proprietress and left.
The proprietress was left alone there for a long time trying to react.
"From Prince Chen's Mansion? Which Prince Chen? Hiss..."
When the proprietress reacted, she gasped.
It turns out that this lady who has no airs at all is the Princess of Chen.
She spent a long time saying bad things about the opposite party, but after all, it turned out that there was someone else's shop opposite!
Thinking back to what Wen Ling said, asking her child not to go out for the next two days, then... could this be a threat from someone...
After all, she is a princess. She might look kind but play tricks on people behind their backs!
The proprietress was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat and quickly called back her son who was running wildly outside.
He held her ears and warned her: "Don't run around for the next two days. Stay at home. If you dare to run around, I'll break your legs if I find you!"
Her son cried out in pain and promised not to go out for the next two days. Only then did the matter fall into place.
Wen Ling didn't know that the proprietress had misinterpreted her meaning, but... they had achieved the same effect through different means.
She went to the second floor and looked around. There was nothing special about it except that it was old and most of the wooden furniture was broken.
Especially since she looked carefully, there really was not a single ghost there.
Not only are there no ghosts, but there is also no negative energy. It seems that no ghosts have been here for nearly three years.
This is really a strange thing.
But such rumors, which are spread by everyone, cannot be groundless.
Is there a ghost nearby?
Wen Ling was very curious and interested.
After coming down from the second floor, he walked around the small building and the backyard a few times.
For fear of disturbing or scaring something away, I went alone and didn't ask anyone to follow me.
But after walking around for a few times, I still found nothing.
On the contrary, the feng shui here is quite good.
When we reached the back of the yard on the third circle, the yard door to the alley behind suddenly opened.
Because the door was opened so suddenly, the person walking out of the yard almost bumped into Wen Ling.
A girl in a pink dress walked out of the yard.
The girl wore a veil, leaving only one eye exposed. Her clothes were all made of silk and satin, and the hairpin on her head was obviously worth a fortune.
It was obvious that she was the one who bumped into someone first, but she glared at Wen Ling fiercely and arrogantly first.
