Seeing Old Xu's self-reproach that almost made him cry, Xi Jiu'er almost couldn't hold back his laughter. The other party's face looked as though it was about to cramp up, making him feel amused. Not only did Xi Jiu'er feel that it was funny, even ex-sister-in-law and Liu Shui felt that it was funny.

"Miss... This old servant has let down the Madame, I have let down the Madame ? " Old Xu had thought that there was something special about the ex-sister-in-law, but it seems that it was only at this level. He did not put anyone in his eyes at all.

Xi Jiu'er sighed to himself, as if he was responding to her, and said slowly: "Sigh, this cannot be blamed on Uncle Uncle Xu, Uncle Uncle Xu has also suffered greatly during these past ten years, not mentioning the contributions. He works so diligently for our Xi Family, I think the spirit of mother in heaven will not blame you, he is the most merciful person here."

Xi Jiu'er walked forward and slowly helped him up. She looked at the dilapidated house with a sorrowful expression, as if she was living in this dilapidated house herself. "Uncle Xu, you live in such a house? "Do you want to..."

"No need, no need. My nephew will be back soon. I'll stay with them when the time comes ?" Old Xu waved his hands to express his disagreement. It was a joke, he was too clear about what Xi Jiu'er wanted to say, he would not stay with Xi Jiu'er, he had his own good days to live. However, it was a pity that he had to take the shop back. How much money did he lose? Just thinking about it made his heart ache.

Xi Jiu'er took in the entirety of his expression. Humanity was always like this, in the end, Old Xu had only considered how he could make himself benefit the most, he had never considered that this thing was not his own.

"Is that so? Then forget it." Nephew? The ex-sister-in-law said that Old Xu had adopted a child because that child wasn't good enough and was raised in the countryside. From the looks of it, he probably saved it up for his son. Old Xu was not young anymore, he was old, and there were not many years left to live.

"Thank you Miss for your kind intentions." Old Xu acted like he was extremely grateful. It had to be said that Old Xu's acting skills had already reached the point of being pure gold. If it wasn't for that, how could he have entered the city? When you see someone speaking, that person just wants the merchant to do the same.

"Liu Xiang, Liu Shui, let's go. Uncle Uncle Xu, we'll come back another day!" Xi Jiu'er said somewhat reluctantly towards Old Xu. After the three of them walked out of the room, Xi Jiu'er's face darkened and became as deep as water: "Liu Shui, watch him closely, follow him, see where he went. ex-sister-in-law and I are in the teahouse we were looking at.

"Yes." Liu Shui nodded and hid himself.

Xi Jiu'er brought ex-sister-in-law out of the small alley and the coachman seemed to have already been waiting for a long time. Observing Xi Jiu'er's expression, he discovered that she wasn't dead, which also made him happy, but he didn't see Liu Shui: "Ninth Miss, where's Miss Liu Shui?"

"She ? I sent her away." Anger flashed across Xi Jiu'er's face.

The coachman thought that Xi Jiu'er was still fuming because of the matter regarding the shop, so when Liu Shui tried to vent his anger, he stopped asking, and asked: "Ninth Miss, are we going back?"

"You can go back. I'll take ex-sister-in-law out for a stroll. I'm feeling very bored right now." With that, he brought ex-sister-in-law to the teahouse on the other side. The coachman stood there and thought for a bit, then brought the carriage back to report.

"Miss, the carriage driver has left." ex-sister-in-law looked at the second floor and saw that the carriage driver had left. Old Xu also came out from his house, he saw that the carriage of Xi Mansion had gone far away with a lively expression, he proudly waved his hands behind his back and walked in the opposite direction, with Liu Shui following him.

"Miss, Old Xu has left. Liu Shui will follow her." The ex-sister-in-law lowered his body and sat down. Xi Jiu'er said indifferently, "En", this teahouse business is very good, everyone is talking about which shop's business is very good, which shop's price is cheap, which shop's items are good, etc.

"Have you guys heard about the Lifestyle? It's the shop of the Xi Family on the south road. Now, it's opened as a pharmacy, and they're all buying expensive things! A while ago, I heard that the headache-inducing disease that had plagued the Meng Family Madame for so many years had actually healed after taking their medicine! "

"Aiya, I've heard about it too. I heard that the medicinal ingredients are so expensive that it makes people speechless."

"What do you know? Those are all expensive medicines. There are some medicines that even if you have money, you might not be able to buy them!"

"Exactly! "You might not be able to buy it with silver taels ?"

"I'm also in the medicinal herb business ?" I wonder what kind of path the Xi Family is taking, to actually have obtained this path ? "

"That's right. Such a good opportunity to get rich is truly a waste."

"Sigh ?"

Everyone talked at once, causing Xi Jiu'er to frown. It seemed like everyone was thinking of her shop, and she had to think of a way to turn this shop into her own underground shop! The people of the Xi Family are heartless and greedy, see, before long, the people of the Xi Family will have plans for my shop, heh!

"Miss!" Liu Shui went up the tea house and quickly walked over. Xi Jiu'er gave her a cup of tea: "Drink it."

Liu Shui's heart was moved as he took the cup of water and muttered, "Miss, Servant has already found his residence. So it turns out that his residence is very nice. There's even a signboard in it. " The signboard read "Xu Residence". She pursed her lips and called it "Residence". "Look in the mirror and see!"

"Let's go." Xi Jiu'er stood up, ex-sister-in-law put down the silver and left.

Under Liu Shui's lead, they arrived at a large courtyard. If they wanted to buy this courtyard, it would at least cost them tens of thousands of gold. Xi Jiu'er's smile grew wider and wider: "Let's go!"

"Bang, bang, bang!" ex-sister-in-law knocked on the door, and before long, a servant opened it. The servant then asked, "Miss, who are you looking for?"

Xi Jiu'er immediately flung him off and walked in with large strides, the servant immediately shouted out: "Hey, who are you, you don't even know who you are, and you're trespassing into this house. Be careful I'm reporting you in."

Xi Jiu'er laughed without turning his head: "Reporting to the officials, wow, reporting!"

"You, you stop." The servant had a bad feeling and immediately went to block Xi Jiu'er's shouts: "You are not allowed to enter, I am reporting it to the officials!"

But he was actually scared by Xi Jiu'er's dark expression. It was too scary, as though as long as he could block her way again, he would definitely not be able to eat anything. He trembled in fear and couldn't help but take a step back. It was no wonder this servant didn't have any confidence. He only set up the steward of the house because he was on good terms with Old Xu, so he said that the steward should be the one who took care of things if it sounded better. What was so unpleasant about that was when he used the name of a steward to do the work of a servant.

"Scram!" Xi Jiu'er turned his head and asked: "Where is Old Xu? "How do we get there?"

"?"

Xi Jiu'er stood at the door, and heard the teasing voices of men and women inside. Xi Jiu'er looked at Liu Shui, and Liu Shui stepped forward and kicked the door open, scaring everyone inside the house.

"Who is it? Who dares to be so bold?!" Old Xu asked in a flustered and exasperated tone, "Ah, little Miss..." When he saw Xi Jiu'er and the others at the door, he seemed to have seen a ghost.

"Hello, Uncle Xu." Xi Jiu'er smiled slightly: "We meet again."

The woman beside him covered her quilt as she noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. She did not dare to speak up! Xi Jiu'er said indifferently: "I'm waiting outside for Uncle Uncle Xu!"

With that, Xi Jiu'er brought ex-sister-in-law and Liu Shui and quietly left, leaving behind the dumbstruck and panicking Old Xu. Her mind was filled with these thoughts, "What should I do? What should he do? Being discovered, they must have been discovered, or else they wouldn't have come here. The people from before and now were two completely different people ? How did she find me here? Or did she follow me? "

Old Xu was panicking. He started to think of a way out, a way to get out of his situation, and how to get out of it. After thinking about it for a while, she felt relieved. In any case, she bought this house herself and did the right thing. No!

Old Xu felt that since he had already dealt with all the evidence, he had nothing to fear, and became more confident. After putting on his clothes, he tidied himself up and walked out.

Xi Jiu'er stood under the tree in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. She waited for Old Xu to clasp his hands in salute before she slowly turned around, "Uncle Uncle Xu, I am a little confused about the accounts, I hope you can tell me."

Ah!" Old Xu did not react at all. Things did not seem to develop in this way! Old Xu replied with a blank look, "Accounts, accounts..." What happened to the books?

"Hehe, there's something wrong with the account book. ex-sister-in-law, tell Uncle Uncle Xu what you think is wrong." Xi Jiu'er turned and said to the ex-sister-in-law.

ex-sister-in-law was slightly taken aback: "Ah? "Oh." It was obvious that ex-sister-in-law did not expect Xi Jiu'er to ask such a question, so he opened the account book and said: "It seems like this account is correct, but there is something wrong with it."

"Please explain it in detail, ex-sister-in-law." Old Xu felt that he was overthinking it. Was he really here to get the books?

was shocked. This account book was made by himself, he felt that he wouldn't be able to find any loopholes, because he had been a shopkeeper for more than twenty years. He didn't expect this woman to be so capable, to think that she had found fault.

"Uncle Xu, although this account for expenditure is correct, but if I add it up, where is the other one hundred silver?" ex-sister-in-law asked indifferently.

"This... I think I missed a chance, "Old Xu thought that since he could solve the problem with 100 gold, he could just lose another 100 silver. It was nothing! Thus, he hurriedly said, "It's all this old servant's fault. I will pay the hundred silver taels to Miss as compensation. I hope that Miss will not be angry. It's this old servant's negligence. " He immediately apologized with sincerity, causing Xi Jiu'er to smile in satisfaction. He then heaved a sigh of relief.
