Master Feng briefly explained the printing technique that Han Qiao had taught Heng Congshan.

She also gave him the manpower for the princess.

They would slowly permeate the culture and knowledge of Great Yong into the Rong Tribe.

The two women fell silent.

After a while, Feng Xinru said, ’’Did she really think all that by herself?”

“Who else? These two things didn’t seem difficult, but she was smart and thought of it better than many people could. The former was to earn money, and the latter was to repay a favor. Princess Zhenling was indebted to her that day. And that day, when 1 went to Puyi County to find Heng Yi to bring people into the mountains to hunt tigers, she mentioned this matter.”

“I’m telling you all this because I hope you understand that not all women are calculative and only care about that small piece of land in the back of the house. Some women are righteous and do things for the benefit of the people.” “Look at the county town where she opened her first fast-food restaurant. The lives of all the people have improved. After she earned money, she built bridges and paved roads. All were done to benefit the people. Do you think the higher-ups don’t know what she’s done? Don’t forget that Heng Congshan was now the emperor’s favorite.”

The printing technique had allowed the Great Yong to earn a lot of money from the other countries. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Another point was Heng Yi.

His martial arts were superb and capable, and he was also hardworking and studious. Sooner or later, he would serve the court.

The Emperor was giving this couple time to grow.

If he guessed correctly, Lan Cheng must be the Emperor’s man.

Otherwise, how could such a person who was quick-witted and skilled in accounting be willing to be under someone else? Would he want to be the general ledger room for a lady of the Han family?

“No wonder no one dared to cause trouble when she opened a shop in another county,” Feng Xinru sighed.

“It’s not that no one went to cause trouble, but that she had won over those who caused trouble from rhe beginning.”

The three religions and nine triads, the hooligans and ruffians, were also humans. They also had families and weaknesses.

What they lacked was a chance to be human again.

Han Qiao gave them the chance.

“So, since you’re working with them, you have to trust them. So, don’t doubt them.”

Feng Xinru was silent for a moment before nodding, “Big brother, 1’11 remember this.”

She felt a little guilty.

She was already going to be a grandmother in a few years, yet she still made her brother worry about her.

“Go and accompany Mother when you’re back. She was still talking about you earlier.”

“Yes.”

Feng Xinru bade them farewell and left.

Master Feng shook his head and sighed, “She’s lucky.”

“How’s Luo Shihang?”

Madam Feng was angry when he mentioned this, “For his mistress, that man forgot his wife. He truly is a scholar.”

“If I had known he was such a person, our Xinru would marry anyone better than him.”

Master Feng was silent.

At first, Xinru insisted on marrying the man, so she naturally didn’t know that Luo Shihang had a childhood sweetheart who was about to get married.

He was the one who secretly separated the two of them.

He called the butler over and cut off all contact with the Luo family, whether it was business or communications.

He had been busy earlier and didn’t have time to clean up the matters with the Luo family.

If he were to embarrass his sister like this, he could forget about having a good time.

Han Qiao naturally didn’t know about the Feng family’s conversation.

Bai Cha had already found a large courtyard through Broker’s Shop. The price was not cheap, it cost them 5,000 taels.

Han Qiao and Heng Yi went over to take a look. Other than the big house, it was nothing special. It was dilapidated. Clearly, no one had lived here for a long time.

However, the neighbors were all wealthy families, and they were only separated by a wall from the Feng family.

Therefore, if there was anything fishy about this residence, they would know by asking Madam Feng.

Han Qiao thought about how there were more and more people in her family now. They would probably stay in Chenzhou for a year or two, so the house had to be bigger.

She asked the Broker to stay in the house for a while, then prepared a gift to visit Madam Feng.

“You want to buy the next house?” Madam Feng asked.

“We haven’t decided on anything. The house is still dilapidated and hasn’t been cleaned up yet. Many of the furniture could not be used anymore, and some areas needed to be demolished and rebuilt, which is why I decided to come and visit you, Madam, about this house’s history,”

“Someone died in that house, and the entire family was exterminated. Then whenever someone moved in, they died.”

Han Qiao was extremely surprised.

“Not a single one live?” Han Qiao asked.

“Not a single one. Speaking of which, it’s quite sad. We lived next door. That night when the murder happened, lightning and thunder painted the sky.” “When did this happen?” Han Qiao asked again.

“It was six or seven years ago. People were keeping an eye on that house, but after staying in it for a few days, people died one after another.”

“The Broker Shop has been selling it for years but still hasn’t been able to sell it. How much do they offer you?” Madam Feng asked curiously.

“Five thousand taels.”

“Too expensive. Still too expensive,” Madam Feng said, “He’s trying to extort you. If the house was still in good condition, it would be worth five thousand taels. Isn’t it haunted? It’s been in Broker’s hands for four to five years. If you want it, you can buy it back with three thousand taels. Then you can use the remaining two thousand taels of silver to buy wood and materials to rebuild and renovate it. The Feng Shui master I hired this time is not bad. I will recommend him to you when the time comes.”

“That’s good. Thank you for your kindness, Madam,” Han Qiao laughed.

With her inquiry answered, Han Qiao found out the whole story. She bargained the price and went from 2,500 taels to 3,200 taels. In the end, they didn’t dare raise it anymore.

The broker also wanted to sell this house because it had been in their hands for several years. If they didn’t sell it, they wouldn’t be able to get back their capital.

3,200 taels was the bottom line.

No matter how low it was, it wouldn’t sell.

The final price was 3,200 taels.

After the deed was signed and the silver was paid, both parties heaved a sigh of relief.

Han Qiao naturally wanted to buy this house.

And the broker also wanted to sell it.

After buying the house, Flan Qiao asked Bai Cha to find the person who built the house and find an auspicious day to dismantle the things inside.

“Sister-in-law, before tearing down the house, let’s see if there’s anything valuable inside.”

“Alright, 1 don’t know much regarding this matter. You can bring your Heng Yi, Gu Jiu, and Wen Yu to take a look.”

That house had probably been ransacked several times. What good things could there be left?

The only things worth money were the doors and windows.

But what if…?

Han Qiao wanted to stay at the inn, but Feng Xinru kept urging her to stay at her home.

Qiao Yi Fast Food Restaurant was basically ready to open by the 22nd of May.

Han Qiao had been busy with the restaurant and this house.

There was also a tofu shop.

The tofu shop only needed to be in an alley with many ordinary people living in it.

There was a street shop at the front and a kitchen in the back.

The shops here basically all had backyards where people could live.

Moreover, the size of the shops was also suitable, and the price was not very expensive. It was about 300 to 700 taels per shop.

Han Qiao bought ten shops in one go.

These shops all had her name on them. Han Qiao understood what Heng Yi was thinking.

He was afraid that if anything happened to him, the Heng family wouldn’t be able to get involved with these things under her name.

Her future was guaranteed.

Heng Yi, Bai Cha, Wen Yu, and Gu Jiu searched the new house.

“This window is good.”

The things in this courtyard were not suitable for the main courtyard, but they were just right for the servant rooms.

After a while, Wen Yu couldn’t help but sigh. “It looks like there’s nothing valuable here..”
