C10 Suspicion

Jiang Rann's originally rosy face instantly turned pale. Looking at the angry Wei Shuyu, he was shocked and apologized carefully, "Sorry, are you unhappy? I promised to discuss this with you."

Wei Shuyu immediately regretted her words. She really …

Jiang Rann was doing this for her own good, doing his best to help her, but she actually got angry at him. Looking at Jiang Rann's wronged expression, it was unknown if Wei Shuyu was angry or helpless.

He could only comfort her, "I'm not angry with you. Just now, my tone was too harsh. Thank you for helping me. However, I will think of a way to pay you back the silver."

After thinking about it carefully, this could be considered a good thing. She had planned to get rid of the Wei family from the start, but Jiang Rann's way of doing things helped her solve this problem. It was just a matter of money, so it wasn't a big deal for her.

"How much did you give to the Wu family?" Wei Shuyu asked. She didn't know if three months would be enough time for her to return the money.

"…" Jiang Rann just lowered his head without saying a word.

"What's the matter with you?" Wei Shuyu thought about it carefully, as if she had been in this state ever since she said she wanted to return the money.

"Do you hate me?" Jiang Rann lowered his head, making it difficult to see the expression on his face. The tone was different from the usual cheerful and bright voice. The meaning of this sentence made Wei Shuyu feel as though he was sad.

"…" Wei Shuyu was a bit conflicted. It would be a lie to say that she didn't have any ill feelings. After all, Jiang Rann was the reason for all the trouble. But to say that it's annoying...

"How could I hate you?" Wei Shuyu sighed. "You were the one who saved me from that ugly lady. You are a hero who saved people once."

"It's true!" Jiang Rann raised his head in surprise. His depressed look was gone, and he stared at Wei Shuyu like a pet dog.

"Really." Wei Shuyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't expect the other party to be so easy to coax. With a single sentence, she had come back to life. "You were so cool just now!" Wei Shuyu continued to praise him.

Although he didn't know what this meant, Jiang Rann still approached Wei Shuyu happily and pulled the corner of her shirt.

Wei Shuyu had no choice but to let him tug at her. "How much money did you actually give to the Wu family?"

Jiang Rann quickly covered his mouth with his other hand as if he was afraid that Wei Shuyu would pry open his mouth and force him to speak.

Lili was so infuriated by his behavior that she could only temporarily stop asking.

After some thought, Wei Shuyu started to walk towards the county town.

"Elder sister, where are we going?" Jiang Rann only remembered to ask after he obediently followed Wei Shuyu for a long distance.

Wei Shuyu wanted to laugh. If they were to meet a trafficker, wouldn't that mean they would turn the corner?

"Let's go to Ming Xiang Teahouse first, then we'll go buy some barbecue ingredients. I'll cook some barbecue for you today."

"Oh? Elder sister is going to find that Uncle Yu? "

"Mm …" "Go ask something." Wei Shuyu frowned. Although the possibility wasn't high, she still felt that the matter of Manager Yu going on a long journey was too much of a coincidence.

When they arrived at Ming Xiang teahouse, Wei Shuyu didn't see the waiter she usually saw. She could only walk up to the counter and ask the waiter who looked unfamiliar, "Could I trouble you, Second Brother, to ask if Manager Yu is back?"

The waiter could hear the familiarity in the tone and knew that she was probably an acquaintance of the shopkeeper. He politely replied, "Miss, my storekeeper has not returned."

Wei Shuyu frowned. "Do you know why he left and how long he'll be gone for?"

"The shopkeeper hurriedly left after receiving the news that a big tea merchant in the provinces had good tea and planned to sell it at a low price. As for the return date … The shopkeeper didn't tell us when he left either. "

Was she too sensitive? It seems that Manager Yu's case was indeed just a coincidence...

"How about... Let me help you ask our Young Master? Manager Yu has been taking care of the business for his son ever since he left, maybe he knows. " The waitress looked at the silent Wei Shuyu and suggested.

"No need, thank you, second brother." Wei Shuyu thanked him politely before leaving the teahouse.

On the way to buy the ingredients for the barbecue, Wei Shuyu was still thinking about this. Jiang Rann followed behind her quietly and watched for a while, then he pulled Wei Shuyu.

Wei Shuyu's train of thoughts was interrupted by the tugging force from the corner of her clothes. "What's wrong?"

Jiang Rann's eyes were filled with desire: "Sister, is the barbecue delicious?"

Wei Shuyu laughed and teased Jiang Rann mischievously, "What? Didn't you guys care about it just now? Now, you're almost drooling from craving for more. "

Jiang Rann blushed, but didn't say anything.

"Wait a moment, I'll show you my skills as a barbeque chef later. It's called 'one of the best'."

"Sigh!" Did you hear? Qian Dafu's house is haunted. It's said that there are ghosts at home every night! "

"Hmph, you deserve it. He must be usually mean and heartless. Otherwise, why didn't he go and find us poor people to be his landlords?"

Wei Shuyu raised her eyebrows. So enemies were already popular in ancient times?

"Come and take a look!" Qian Dafu has invited seven or eight Taoists who drive ghosts to do this! "

The group of people ran away.

Wei Shuyu curled her lips. It seemed that the power of gossip was very attractive in any dynasty.

"Elder sister, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine." "Okay," Wei Shuyu answered, carrying the shopping and going to the water's edge to roast with Jiang Rann.

This time, no one came to disturb them. The two of them had a hearty meal and were in a good mood.

The next day.

While Wei Shuyu was eating breakfast at a stall, she unexpectedly heard more rumors about the landowner's family.

"Just guess what Qian Dafu did after he hired the Taoist yesterday?" One of the gossipers whispered to his tablemate in a mysterious manner that could be heard by the entire stall.

His tablemate was a little impatient and urged, "Tsk, Li Er, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly."

Wei Shuyu put down her chopsticks as the others at the stall also pricked up their ears and waited for the next step.

Li Er shook his head, seemingly unsatisfied with the other party's reaction, but he continued, "Yesterday night, not long after the Taoist priest finished his magic, ghostly figures suddenly appeared in the house. Suddenly, the gale started howling like ghosts, scaring Qian Dafu's family out of the newly built mansion. However, that ghost still chased relentlessly, shouting behind me to return my life!"

Saliva flew out of Li Er's mouth, making the others forget what they were doing. However, his tablemate clearly didn't believe what he was saying, "Big mouth Li, go ahead and boast as if you saw that ghost chasing Qian Dafu with your own eyes!"

Li Er felt a little guilty. The last paragraph was indeed fabricated by himself, but he still held his head up and said stubbornly, "I …" What I said was true! Otherwise, how else would Li Dafu write a notice saying that the experts who can solve this matter will be greatly rewarded! "

Wei Shuyu lowered her head in thought. Previously, she specialized in architecture and was also involved in feng shui. She had also seen many terrifying ghosts and gods at that time. However, it was actually just a result of the magnetic field, light, air currents, and the unreasonable decorations of the buildings. He had truly never seen a ghost before.

However, her soul had mysteriously arrived in ancient times. Right now, she really couldn't be sure if there was a ghost or not.

After questioning passersby, she found the notice posting office.

The surroundings were surrounded by people, all of them talking about the notice, but no one dared to step forward.

Although the rewards were good, they still needed to be alive to earn it. There were so many ghosts that could not be subdued by the Daoist Priest, so they did not dare to go.

Wei Shuyu looked at the notice carefully, thought for a moment, then stepped forward and tore it off.
