I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times

Chapter 25 Staying in a Haunted Mansion

"My son, you died unjustly..." Mrs. Bao couldn't help crying as she looked at the two boxes of betrothal gifts.

 She received a letter from her son in her hometown, saying that she had fallen in love with the girl and was getting married. Mrs. Bao was so happy that she went to Beijing happily to prepare for her son's wedding.

Unexpectedly, when she entered Beijing, she was greeted by the sad news of her son's tragic death.

She tried her best to inquire and heard that her son was killed by robbers while traveling to buy goods. Although she was sad in her heart, Mrs. Bao could only accept this cruel thing.

Mrs. Bao had no relatives in Kyoto. She originally wanted to take care of her son's funeral, sell all the shops and houses he bought, and then return to her hometown to live.

However, something was wrong. Her sons were dead, and the silk shop and the newly purchased house had changed owners.

Mrs. Bao tried her best to ask around, but finally heard that she was betrayed by the girl her son was going to marry.

Mrs. Bao came to argue with the Hu family. Unexpectedly, the Hu family refused to admit it, and Mrs. Hu even beat her up, accusing her of being interested in their house and shop and wanting to rely on them.

The Hu family refused to admit it, and Mrs. Bao had no relatives in Kyoto, so she was helpless against the Hu family's scoundrels. After many visits to her home to argue with no results, Mrs. Bao had no choice but to go back to her hometown, but she didn't even have the money to pay for it.

If it weren't for Ling Chu's help, Mrs. Bao really didn't know what to do.

Facing the things Ling Chu brought out, Hu Auntie, mother and son still refused to admit that they were betrothal gifts from He Fengci, and Hu Auntie's son flatly denied killing him.

Ling Chu was not surprised by this. After all, they not only cheated on the marriage, but also involved a human life. They would definitely not admit those crimes easily.

However, she did not argue with Mrs. Hu and her son anymore. Instead, she borrowed a few guards from Commander Ning and took them to Dali Temple. Mrs. Bao wanted to accuse them of seeking wealth and murder.

 After Mrs. Bao got back her son's property, she was extremely grateful to Ling Chu. When he learned that she wanted to buy the house with three entrances, he gave her the deed without saying a word.

Ling Chu naturally wouldn't ask for her house in vain, but she gave her money, but Mrs. Bao refused to accept it.

In order to thank Ling Chu for helping him recover his family property, He Fengci's ghost sent Aunt Hu and his family to prison, and proposed to give the house to Ling Chu as a thank you gift.

Ling Chu saw that he and Mrs. Bao were determined to do this, so he did not refuse. After all, she had avenged them and got her family property back, so she regarded the house as payment.

However, after the case was tried by the Minister of Dali Temple, Aunt Hu and Liu Yunniang were exiled, Aunt Hu's son Qiu Houwen was beheaded, and Mrs. Bao wanted to go back to her hometown to live, Ling Chu paid for her to hire a few people in the **** agency to **** her back to her hometown. .

 Of course this is something for later, so I won’t mention it much.

 …

Ling Chu signed a new purchase contract with Mrs. Bao, went to the Yamen to file the record, and issued a red deed.

After finishing the matter, Ling Chu took the freshly released house deed and returned to the tea stall.

Ling Chu has not been back for a long time, and the second lady has been waiting impatiently. When she saw her coming back, she opened her mouth to complain, "Miss, why have you been gone for so long? We have been waiting for a long time.

If you don’t come back, others will think that you dislike us as burdensome people and want to abandon us and fly away. "

Ling Chu glanced at her and said nothing. Instead, he took out his money and asked the tea stall owner to get everyone a steamed bun for dinner.

 The second lady waited for the steamed buns to be distributed, but when she saw that she had none, she immediately jumped up in anger.

 “Big girl, why don’t you have my share?”

Lingchu said coldly, "Second Aunt spoke so energetically. It seems that you have eaten and drank enough. Since you are not hungry, you can save it."

The second lady choked. She wanted to eat and drink enough, but now she couldn't even get half a copper out of her pocket. Where could she eat?

Ling Luo, Ling Hui, and Ling Jing, although they were furious when they saw their mother, they were still young and had not yet tempered their shame, so it was difficult to accuse Ling Chu.

After all, they are soft-spoken, and the two of them were holding the steamed buns bought by Ling Chu.

The three brothers and sisters looked at each other and thought about giving half of the buns in their hands to their mother.

Ling Chu said lightly at this moment, "If you are not hungry, then bring back the steamed buns. Now everyone has no money, so we can save it if we can." Although her words were not serious, the three of Ling Luo were They didn't dare to make any move, for fear that Ling Chu would think they were not hungry and would accept their steamed buns.

The feeling of being hungry is really uncomfortable. The food distributed by the jailers before in the prison was really hard to swallow. Now they are so hungry that their chests are touching their backs.

 Now they finally have a steamed bun to fill their stomachs, and they really don’t want to lose it.

Although the second lady was very hungry, she did not dare to say anything for fear of offending Ling Chu and taking away the buns from the three children.

 The second wife is not willing to let her children starve, but she has no worries about her husband.

She originally thought that her husband would never let her go hungry, but when she looked towards the second master, she saw that he was stuffing the last piece of steamed bun in his hand into his mouth.

On the other hand, Aunt Liu and Miss Six, whether intentionally or not, turned their backs to her and were eating the steamed buns in their hands.

As for the others, they all lowered their heads and ate the steamed buns in their hands in silence at this time, turning a blind eye to her anger.

No one is a fool. Nowadays, everyone is penniless. Even a steamed bun has to be bought by Ling Chu. Naturally, they don't want to anger her at this time, lest they be treated differently like the second lady.

After all, it’s not just the Lingluo brothers and sisters who don’t want to go hungry again, others don’t want to go through that feeling again.

Seeing that everyone was turning a blind eye to her, the Second Madam was so angry that her face turned black, but she could not speak out to accuse her, so she could only give Ling Chu a fierce look.

Ling Chu felt better when he saw her deflated.

Since the Second Madam still has the energy to accuse her, let her be hungry to prevent her from intensifying her troubles after eating and drinking.

After eating steamed buns and drinking a few cups of tea, Ling Chu took everyone to the haunted house.

　　After entering the house and seeing the dilapidated scene inside, and then remembering that this was a haunted house, everyone just felt that the surroundings were gloomy, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy.

“Girl, this house is so small, how can it accommodate so many of us?” The second lady disliked the small house.

Ling Chu did not object, but nodded and said, "This house is indeed small and shabby, and it is really not worthy of the status of the second aunt. While it is still early and there is no curfew, the second aunt should go out and buy another big house."

The second lady looked ugly, but Ling Chu was too lazy to pay attention to her. He turned to the others and said, "If you are willing to stay, you can discuss and choose the yard by yourself. If you don't want to stay, you can leave with the second aunt."

With these words, Ling Chu left.

She has a small temple here, and she can't live with her love, so she will never force it.

Ling Chu chose a clean yard for himself, found cleaning tools, rolled up his sleeves and got ready to start cleaning.

Since his body was too weak, Ling Chu did not clean the entire yard, but only cleaned up the dormitory.

As dusk fell, Ling Chu tidied up his dormitory and locked the courtyard door. Seeing that no one was disturbing him, he turned on the system.

After checking the system and counting the only money he had, Ling Chu had only one idea in his mind.

 So poor!

If the northeast wind blows in the next half month, she will probably be hungry.
