An hour later, Li Xibao's family of three finally found the place Madam Kong mentioned.

knock knock knock.

Once at the door, Sun Cuihua knocked on the door directly.

"Who is it?" Inside, the voice of a little girl came out first.

Li Dashan had heard this voice before, it was Chen Xisheng's servant girl, and it seemed that she lived here.

Sun Cuihua gave Li Dashan a wink.

Li Dashan said: "We are delivering something to your Master Chen."

"What is it?" As soon as the door opened, it was indeed the maid.

"It's you..."

"Of course it's us, otherwise who do you think it is." Sun Cuihua angrily pushed the door open and entered.

"Ma'am, Ma'am, it's Mrs. Li and the others." The servant girl hurriedly called to inform.

When Madam Chen heard the hurried voice and saw Sun Cuihua's angry look, she also frowned and said, "What are you doing? You just broke in like this!"

"If we don't break in, I don't know where you will hide." Sun Cuihua strode into the room, sat down and slammed the table.

"Chen Xisheng, you two, hurry up and give us an explanation!"

"What do you say?" Chen Xisheng walked out.

"It's still pretending, we all know it. There was a name in your shop, and your old man's concubine died there, and her soul was lingering there, making it impossible for us to do business."

Sun Cuihua said it directly.

Chen Xisheng and Mrs. Chen looked at each other and fell silent.

Mrs. Chen looked away, "Mrs. Li, where did you hear that? It's not a thing at all."

"Nothing? Why do others say so swearingly."

"Then we don't know." Mrs. Chen complained and sighed, "No concubine died there at all in our house. If you don't believe this, you can ask the government. In this county It's not a small place, the county lord will write down wherever someone dies, there is no such thing at all!"

"Then why does everyone outside say that?" Li Dashan asked.

"Outside... well... I really can't tell. Speaking of it, we are also wronged. I don't know what happened, but suddenly this rumor spread one day."

"Yeah, although my father is really lustful, he has been a second mother all his life besides my mother. The second mother and my mother get along pretty well. Both of them are living in their hometown now." Chen Xisheng frowned. Said: "If you don't believe it, you can also ask."

"Then what's the matter with the concubine?" Li Xibao said: "It can't be that a person is born out of nothing for no reason."

"Well, to be honest, I've thought about this matter carefully." Chen Xisheng answered Li Xibao's question, "Ten years ago, when we went out to do business, we picked up a little girl named Xiaofeng and brought it back. Just use it as a servant girl. We raised her up and found a family for her to marry. But she was disobedient and had to fall in love with a little bricklayer who came from far away. Although the little bricklayer was good-looking, but Our family is poor, and we have always been unwilling. There have also been great conflicts."

"Then one night, my daughter-in-law saw the two of them having a private meeting, angrily cursed and kicked her out. She followed the little bricklayer wholeheartedly, packed her things and left overnight."

"If those rumors had to say that there was a young concubine, they would only be talking about Xiaofeng."

"But Xiaofeng really left with the little bricklayer by herself, and went back to her hometown in the south with the little bricklayer. In the past two years, she even wrote me a letter."

"Old woman, go find it and show them, and see if we are lying!"

Mrs. Chen rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and she found it.

Li Dashan and Sun Cuihua knew very few characters, so Li Xibao read them.

"How is it?" Sun Cuihua asked.

"En." Li Xibao closed the envelope, "What they said should be true."

"Then..." Li Dashan was confused.

He was confused, but Li Xibao was not confused, "Mrs. Li, Master Li, even if what you said is true, just because you raised a maid, you were slandered and called a concubine, which caused the subsequent incident. But how can you hide it?" What about us? You didn’t tell us when we first rented the store.”

Mrs. Chen's eyes flickered.

If she said it out, wouldn't this shop be rented out forever?It fell into my hand.

"But I only need 200 taels of silver a year, and there are shops in good locations in the county that cost 600 taels a year."

"That's another matter. In short, you lied to us, you lied to us."

"But you didn't ask, what should we say?"

"Mrs. Li, now we have learned about the matter. In my opinion, this shop should return the 400 taels of silver to us, and we will not rent it anymore." Sun Cuihua said.

"That can't be done!" Mrs. Chen became very anxious when she heard this. "When we rented the house, we signed and stamped our fingerprints. Did you return it as soon as you said it? It can't be like this."

"It's clear that you concealed us first." Sun Cuihua's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"What did we hide from you? There was no such thing as a concubine hanging herself there. We were wronged too!"

The Chen family couple must have been prepared for a long time, and they refused to refund the money after biting their teeth.

Both parties were very angry, and a row was about to break out.

Li Xibao pondered in his heart.

The Chen family was certainly annoyed, they concealed the bad rumors about the store and leased it to them, and deliberately took away two years' rent in one go.

but……

This shop really should be no problem.

Li Xibao thought of this.

He tugged at the corner of Sun Cuihua's clothes, "Mother, stop arguing."

"Xi Bao, don't be afraid, at worst, let's go see the officials!"

"Mother, meeting the official can certainly solve the problem. But we have invested too much money in this shop, even if we don't rent it, it will be difficult to make up for all the losses."

"Then what do you think?"

Over there, Chen Xisheng was terrified when he heard that Sun Cuihua was going to meet an official, and he became nervous.

"Master Li, Mrs. Li, we want to buy this shop." Li Xibao said seriously.

"What?"

Both Sun Cuihua and Mrs. Chen were shocked.

"Xi Bao, what are you talking about? Why do we buy this kind of shop? To put it bluntly, it is a haunted house!"

"You are not lying to us..." Chen Xisheng stammered.

"Of course it's not a lie, but we want to buy this shop forever, silver, we are going to give you 800 taels."
