Song Chi noticed He Jiu Niang's displeasure and explained, "I wanted to take Doctor He to see the house."
"Oh? Doctor He wants to buy a house? As far as I know, houses in Jingzhou City are not something ordinary people can afford. It's clear that Doctor He's family is quite wealthy!"
Anyone with eyes could see that He Jiuniang was unhappy, but Lin Yiping didn't care. What he needed to do now was to get close to He Jiuniang.
He Jiuniang didn't want to talk to him, but said to Song Chi, "Doctor Song, let's go quickly."
The dog being led around didn't like the masked uncle very much either, feeling that he had ill intentions and wanted to take its mother away from it. So it took the initiative to pull He Jiu Niang's hand and run forward.
He Jiuniang picked up the little guy and said, "Silly boy, we need to take a car."
The mother and son got into the car, and to avoid suspicion, Song Chi sat on the outside with the driver.
Lin Yiping wasn't in a hurry. He had a guard fetch his horse and followed them at a leisurely pace.
The guard was puzzled: "Master, is she worth your personal intervention?"
Lin Yiping gave him a look as if he were an idiot: "Otherwise, can you handle it?"
The guard immediately lowered his head and remained silent, agreeing with whatever his master said.
The puppy lifted the curtain and looked back, saying somewhat unhappily, "Mommy, those two bad guys are still following us."
"You also think they are bad people?"
He Jiuniang was amused by him; they were truly mother and son, thinking the same thing.
"Yeah, they don't look like good people!"
The puppy puffed out its cheeks, its chubby little face bulging out, it was incredibly cute, and He Jiuniang hugged it and cuddled it for a while.
Although she should have told her son not to judge a book by its cover, she now felt that the two men didn't look like good people, so she gave up on that idea.
Lin Yiping's sudden approach to her was definitely not without ulterior motives, but she didn't know exactly what his purpose was, since they had only crossed paths that one night.
Could it be that just because she had the waiter deliver a late-night snack to him, he misunderstood something?
She glanced down at her son. She was a widow now, so why would that man be interested in her?
Did he want her medical skills? But she had already cured him.
Did you want her kung fu? But she didn't perform anything particularly amazing that night!
She shook her head. Getting herself into such a huge mess was incredibly annoying!
When they arrived at the destination, He Jiuniang found that a broker was already waiting for them. Upon seeing them, the broker came forward to greet them respectfully.
"But this lady wants to buy a house? Let me take a look inside first."
The broker was very polite. People who could afford to buy a house in Jingzhou City were all wealthy. He could make a lot of money by closing this deal, so he naturally had to serve them carefully.
He Jiuniang nodded and followed them inside.
This is a three-courtyard house, quite large in area, with a regular layout; it's just an ordinary three-courtyard house.
It has been neglected for years and looks quite dilapidated.
The broker had been observing He Jiuniang's expression. When he saw her looking at the damaged areas, the broker quickly smiled and said, "If Madam is sure she wants to buy it, I will find someone to repair these areas."
He Jiuniang simply nodded but didn't say anything, clearly indicating that she wasn't too keen on it.
I bought the yard for the sake of happiness, and it's supposed to be renovated, but it's so dilapidated.
She knew that Song Chi was probably considering that she might not have enough money, so he tried to find a decent house, but it didn't suit her taste.
Before he could even speak, Lin Yiping behind him laughed: "This courtyard is in such a dilapidated state, how can it be repaired? Could it be that they can't sell it and are just using it to fool people?"
To be honest, these words were quite to He Jiuniang's liking. She had originally wanted to say them too, but out of consideration for Song Chi's feelings, she held back.
The broker's expression immediately changed: "Young master, you flatter me. Houses in Jingzhou City are incredibly valuable; how could they possibly be unsellable?"
Song Chi stood to the side, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He hadn't expected the house to be in such a dilapidated state. He coughed a little awkwardly and said, "It was my mistake. I didn't express myself properly, which caused the broker to misunderstand."
The broker wanted to say that he hadn't misunderstood; when the boy came to him before, he had said he wanted something bigger and cheaper, even if it was a bit worn out, which was why he had brought them here.
But he was also a shrewd person. Seeing Song Chi's embarrassment, he helped by saying, "I misunderstood. If Madam is not satisfied, I have a few other houses that I can take you to see."
It seemed that this was the only way, so the group followed the broker to look at another house.
Before I even got off the carriage, I heard a commotion of shouting and cursing outside. I peeked out and saw a man beating his wife in public, with a crowd of onlookers watching. No one stepped in to stop the fight.
He Jiuniang: ...Just what I feared most has come to pass.
The broker was somewhat embarrassed by the scene, as the house he was introducing was right next to this family's.
He Jiuniang didn't even get out of the carriage, and said wearily, "Forget it, let's stop here for today and see tomorrow."
Neighborhood relations are very important. Judging from how that man beat his wife, it was obviously not the first time. If this happens every few days, how annoying will it be for people living here in the future?
"Madam, I have other houses, other..."
The broker spoke up somewhat anxiously. This woman had an extraordinary air about her and didn't seem like someone who couldn't afford it. He didn't want to lose this business!
"No need, I'm not in a hurry to buy it anyway, I'll take my time looking around."
He Jiuniang waved her hand and retreated into the carriage, feeling drowsy. It was midday, a perfect time for a nap.
The coachman drove off, ignoring everything the broker said. Song Chi, somewhat embarrassed, asked, "Doctor He, about today's events..."
"This has nothing to do with Dr. Song. I am already very grateful that you have helped me with these things. On the contrary, I don't like this house and I have made Dr. Song work for nothing."
He Jiuniang had no reason to blame someone for running errands for her, especially since they meant well.
Fearing that Song Chi might misunderstand, He Jiuniang took out a prescription from her spatial storage and handed it over: "This is a prescription for treating persistent high fever in children. Consider it my thank-you gift to Doctor Song."
Since the matter hadn't been settled yet, Song Chi was too embarrassed to accept the prescription, but He Jiu Niang insisted: "Take it, we'll need your help finding a house in the future."
Song Chi couldn't resist accepting it, and he was determined to find He Jiu Niang a good house.
He Jiuniang and Gou'er returned to the inn. As soon as they turned around, they saw that the shameless master and servant had followed them. He Jiuniang wanted to ignore them, but Lin Yiping blocked their way just as they were about to enter the room.
