Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 484
Chapter 484 Lose Money
Su Wanwan actually asked such a question!
Daoist Niu panicked again. It was the first time in decades that he had encountered a smart woman like Su Wanwan. Her pair of clear eyes seemed to see through everything!
“Speak.” Su Wanwan continued.
How dare he! Daoist Niu took a step back. Looking into Su Wanwan’s eyes, he suddenly sensed an invisible pressure pressing down on him. His footsteps instantly became somewhat soft. He trembled and said, “Nonsense! How could I have done Liu Hu’s thing?”
In his panic, he actually forgot to bite the bullet and say that he was an “old Taoist”.
Su Wanwan approached again and asked, “You know who Liu Hu is and have interacted with him before. If it weren’t for you, who would have created such a mysterious and real thing?”
“This is actually his ghost” Daoist Priest Niu’s forehead started to sweat.
Su Wanwan interrupted, “Don’t talk nonsense! What ghost? I won’t listen! There are no ghosts in this world. Tell me, why?”
“You!” Daoist Niu felt sweat dripping down his forehead again. He felt that Su Wanwan’s pair of eyes, which could see through everything, were extremely terrifying. He forcefully suppressed his anger and said, “You are simply unreasonable!”
After saying that, she immediately left. Seeing him like this, Su Wanwan sneered and returned to her room. A guard walked over and said, “Madam, I heard that he was invited by the villagers to’kill ‘Liu Hu! He must have wanted money this time, did he make things difficult for you?”
“He wants to make things difficult, but with his intelligence, what can he do to me?” Su Wanwan chuckled and went into the room.
The guard looked at Su Wanwan’s graceful back and heaved a sigh of relief. Knowing that she was not cheated, he continued to stand guard.
When Su Wanwan entered the room, she smelled a familiar fragrance and knew that it was chicken soup. She helplessly pinched her face and said, “Chengfeng, you’re too annoying! I’m already so fat, but you still need to give me a big tonic. The tonic is getting heavier and heavier.”
“Where did you get fat? I look very thin.” Qi Chengfeng smiled and served the chicken soup.
Suddenly, Su Wanwan saw a round thing on the side. She looked again and found a walnut. She excitedly squatted down and picked it up. “How did this thing come about? Why is there this thing here?” She said.
In her impression, Su Wanwan had never seen a walnut after she wore it. Now, she looked at it as if she had seen something extremely fresh.
Qi Chengfeng said indifferently, “I got this thing on the mountain recently. I saw a lot when I went to pick wild berries, but no one ate it. I found it interesting and brought it over.”
“No one eats? This is too bad!” Suddenly, a method appeared in Su Wanwan’s mind. She wanted to order someone to pick it, but Qi Chengfeng said, “There are a lot of trees. However, it seems that these things were left behind last year. There is no thick snow here this year. The so-called’they didn’t fall ‘was taken off by me.”
After such a reminder, Su Wanwan remembered that walnuts were blooming and not bearing fruit, so she sighed regretfully. Qi Chengfeng smiled and said, “If you like this thing, I will contract out that mountain tomorrow. However, it will only cost a few dozen taels of silver.”
Su Wanwan shook her head and said, “Don’t contract now. Those villagers will definitely go and ruin the mountain. Maybe the walnut tree will be cut clean as firewood!”
Upon mentioning the villagers, Su Wanwan calmed down.
Suddenly, the birds outside the door cried out. Su Wanwan went to open the door. A bird flew in and chirped at Su Wanwan, “Not good! We were just standing on the roof of the ancestral hall. Who would have thought that Daoist Priest Niu would discuss with the villagers how to deal with you? He told the villagers that he wanted you to pay two hundred taels of silver! Otherwise, he would drive you out!”
How dare he? Su Wanwan chuckled and said, “We didn’t rent his land. How dare he?”
“They said” Before the bird could finish speaking, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. A person knocked on a gong and said, “Where is the owner of this house? Quickly come out! Our lord sent us to collect this house!”
Hearing this, Su Wanwan knew what the villagers were going to do.
It turned out that they had actually sent the owner of the house to deal with her! He immediately put away the house and drove her away!
His methods were truly ruthless! Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng walked out.
When they saw a carriage standing outside the door, several people stood there, and the people outside looked like housekeepers, they guessed, “How much money did they give your family? You want to take the house back!”
The villagers gave the owner twenty taels of silver and a silver hairpin. This silver was enough for them to buy a land and build a house in the town!
Who wouldn’t give up the rent of five taels of silver? Although the butler knew about it, he didn’t dare to say anything. He could only say, “Since something happened to our family and we want to sell this house, so …”
Before he could finish speaking, Su Wanwan calmly took off the delicate golden hairpin on her head and said, “Is this enough to buy?”
“This” The butler was stunned. This was a golden hairpin!
If it were silver … it would be more than a hundred taels of silver! What the villagers had given him had multiplied by several folds! “Are you sure you want to trade this golden hairpin for this house?” The housekeeper almost salivated.
“I’m not sure.” Su Wanwan smiled and inserted the hairpin into her head again. “I’m just trying to coax you. Is this house worth exchanging for a golden hairpin?”
After saying that, Su Wanwan laughed again, “But knowing that you are going to sell the house, I am sure what you are going to do.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wanwan took out a piece of paper and spread it out, “This is the certificate of renting the house back then. It is clearly written on it. If you breach the contract, you will have to pay ten times the amount of silver! The rent is five taels of silver, you should give me fifty taels of silver!”
“What?” The butler was stunned. He stared at the paper and suddenly thought of something. When he heard that someone was going to lease it, he immediately accepted it. Who would have thought that he wouldn’t be able to see these treaties clearly!
After thinking for a while, the butler said, “Madam, this … we won’t cancel it anymore. This house will continue to be yours!”
After saying that, she was about to leave. Su Wanwan gestured for the guards to hold him back and said, “I don’t like this solution. I want fifty taels of silver!”
Su Wanwan’s attitude was resolute. The butler frowned and couldn’t help but say to Su Wanwan in the end, “Madam, what do you think of this house for you?”
Sell it to her? However, this was a ferocious mansion, and it was not worth her spending fifty taels of silver! Su Wanwan shook her head and said, “I’ll give you 30 taels of silver for this house! You just have to pay me back 20 taels of silver.”
“This …”
The butler was helpless and could only go back to ask for instructions.
The next day, the butler brought a large group of people with him.
The villagers were watching from outside the door, their eyes filled with jokes, as if they were waiting to see Su Wanwan’s joke and how she would make a fool of herself!
