Picking up a beautiful man to be your husband

Chapter 35
"you……"

"Cher..."

The two stopped at the same time, Hao Xue looked at Shuiwuyu, and Shuiwuyu also looked at him, looking at each other.

Shui Wuyu's translucent eyes shot into Hao Xue's eyes like sharp arrows, and under his seemingly penetrating gaze, she unconsciously flustered.Hao Xue pretended to be calm and moved her pearly eyes to look away, but felt her face heated up a bit.

Shui Wuyu picked up the teacup to drink tea, meaning to let Hao Xue speak first.

Hao Xue breathed a sigh of relief, coughed, and said, "Wu Yu came to see me for something important?"

Shui Wuyu then said: "It's nothing important, it's just..." He took out the brocade bag and handed it to Hao Xue, "Someone asked me to return this to you, I hope you keep it safe, saying that you will need it later." Shui Wuyu Pass on Qi Qifu's words carefully, he knows that this is a very important token.

"Give it back to me?" Does she have such an exquisite purse?

Hao Xue looked at the brocade bag suspiciously, grabbed it, touched it, and opened it with a frown.Looking at the objects inside, Hao Xuesui blinked her eyes in surprise, then raised her eyes to look at Shuiwuyu suspiciously, saw that he was holding a teacup with his head down, and knew that he was avoiding taboo.

Hao Xue calmed down, silently stuffed the things back into the bag and held them in her hands, but felt very uneasy.

"...Did someone named Qi Qifu give it to you?" Hao Xue asked cautiously.

"Well, yes." Shui Wuyu put down his teacup and looked at her squarely.

"How did he find you? Or do you know each other?" Seeing that he wasn't curious and didn't intend to ask her, he guessed that they might know each other. After all, Shui Wuyu is a businessman.

Shui Wuyu nodded: "We know each other, because my family is an imperial merchant, probably everyone who is famous in Beijing knows each other, but we have no contacts."

This is the truth, Shui Wuyu doesn't like to deal with the rich and powerful, his temperament is not suitable for doing business, but he has done a good job.Three generations of the Shui family have been in business. He has been in the business since he was a child. He is very smart and outstanding. He can be said to be an outstanding talent in everything he does.

Hao Xue nodded and said, "So that's how it is... This is something from Xiaodaozi..."

Shui Wuyu had already guessed that the object must be a small rice.

Seeing that he didn't mean to ask her about her acquaintance with Qi Qifu, Hao Xue put away the brocade bag and asked him casually, "What did Wu Yu just say?"

Shui Wuyu looked at Hao Xue silently, thinking whether to intervene. He claimed that he was not a nosy person.

Hao Xue looked at him suspiciously, and said again: "If you have something to say, just say it!"

Shui Wuyu's eyes moved, as if she had made a lot of determination, and said: "Xue'er has been going out for the past few days, so it's better to let people follow her when she goes out in the future. If there is an emergency, there will be someone to take care of her, which is also reassuring."

"Well, I see." Is this what he wanted to say?
"... Where has Xueer been and what has she been doing these past few days? Let me tell you something interesting."

As soon as he finished talking about water and no rain, he felt guilty. He knew that nothing good happened to her when she went out these few days. She went to the Yuyue Building twice in three days and was wronged each time. Where is the fun?He couldn't find a reason to ask her for a while, so he had to improvise a wording.

He wanted her to tell him about her affair with the man at the inn, although he already knew about it.However, he only knew about her meeting with Mo Yin, but he didn't know that Hao Xue had been poisoned.

Hao Xue smiled: "What's the fun? It's just going out for a stroll to get familiar with the city."

Shui Wuyu was slightly disappointed, a little displeased that Hao Xue was hiding it from him, and felt alienated, which he didn't like.His face turned cold unconsciously.

"So, go back and rest! I'm still busy." After that, he got up and walked to the desk.

"Oh~ don't be busy too late, pay attention to the balance between work and rest!" Hao Xue didn't notice his face, she threw this sentence at his back and simply left the study.It must be very hard for him to deal with the troublesome business these days, and he doesn't want to bother him anymore.

After Hao Xue left, Shuiwuyu couldn't calm down, and felt restless in his heart, and his writing speed became faster.

After watching Xiaodaozi's morning exercise, Hao Xue went out of the house alone again, feeling a little excited, because she was carrying a "huge sum of money", and she brought two-thirds of her entire net worth out.

When I came to Moyin's room, I saw Moyin was already waiting in a respectful manner.As soon as Hao Xue came, he served her tea silently and respectfully waited for Hao Xue's order.

Hao Xue was very happy. It felt different to be served by someone. She didn’t have to do anything by herself, hehe!
"cough~"

Hao Xue coughed, sat upright, and said to Mo Yin: "Mo Yin, how is your injury?"

"Returning to the master, there is no serious problem. The subordinates can do things for the master at any time." Mo Yin replied with his head bowed.

"Hmm~"

Hao Xue looked at his hands and feet. He put on shoes, and there was nothing wrong with the posture of his legs.Look at his wrist again, the long sleeves are tightly covered, his straight body looks indifferent and fearless, no matter who looks at him, he is nothing.

But Hao Xue knew that his injury had not completely healed.

"Okay, now I'll give you a task!" Hao Xue smiled at Mo Yin, it's not good for the recovery of physical and mental health to stay in the room all day, so it's good to let him go for a walk.

"Yes!" Moyin was full of energy.Being able to get the master attached to the task proves that the master trusts him and agrees with him, and he will do well.

Hao Xue nodded, took out a few silver bills from her waist and gave them to him, saying: "Go out and find out where there is a store that sells them. You can buy them for less than 500 taels, but not more. The location... you can't buy them in the center of the city." , and can’t be in a cold place on the outskirts of the city, it doesn’t matter if the store is small, remember?”

"Subordinates remember!"

"Well, it's better if you can buy it with the least amount of money, I'm leaving first, you can do it!"

After Hao Xue left the inn, she went to the civilian market, where there were many businesses.She didn't know what to do after renting a house, but it was useful anyway, so she went to explore the market first.

Hao Xue was just an office clerk in the past, and she only did amateur Taobao business, and had no business experience.But anyway, he is also one of the members of the time-traveling organization. Although he has no skills, he is also a potential stock, quack!

After wandering around the trading market for a long time, Hao Xue didn't have any ideas, and when she came back from shopping and passed Yuyuelou, Hao Xue suddenly had an idea, and she made a decision in her heart.

The next day, Hao Xue went to find Mo Yin.Moyin handed over the remaining house deed and the remaining money to Hao Xue.

Hao Xue praised the efficiency of Moyin's work. After looking at it, it only cost 100 taels.She hurriedly looked at the deed, the location was not bad, it was on a street in the city, there was still a lot of people, she often visited that street these days.

"Moyin, why is it so cheap? Could it be a small family?" Hao Xue looked at Moyin.

"Master, the house is not small, it has an attic, it's bigger than this inn." Mo Yin replied.

"Such a good house only costs 100 taels!? I overestimated the prices in Lingbei Prefecture?" Hao Xue was delighted.

"Master, this house is sold at a low price because someone died inside, and the boss is eager to get rid of the bad luck!" Mo Yin explained calmly.

"Ah... Moyin, you are so bold, you dare to buy me a haunted house!" Hao Xue reprimanded Moyin with anger.

"Returning to the master, the subordinate did not make decisions without authorization, and everything was done according to the master's orders!" Moyin was calm and composed, and did not take Hao Xue's scolding at all, because he knew that Hao Xue was not angry.

"Huh! You bought me a haunted house and you still argue!" Hao Xue continued to look down upon Mo Yin, acting like a master.

"The master told me before he left that it would be best if he could buy the house with the least amount of money. The subordinates have kept in mind the master's instructions and have bought the house at a low price. All subordinates will act according to the master's order!"

"..." Hao Xue looked Mo Yin up and down a few times, blinked, and then calmed down and said, "Ahem, what about the house where someone died?"

"Returning to the master, the house used to be for jewelry, the first floor was for business, and the attic lived..."

It turned out that people had died in that store before.

Six months ago, the owner of a shop fell seriously ill and died soon after.The owner's son sold the shop and went back to his hometown.

Then someone accepted and bought the store and opened a noodle restaurant.However, one day a customer died suddenly while eating noodles, and the government inspected it as food poisoning.The noodle shop was naturally closed.The original owner also sold the store at a low price, and was bought by the owner of the jewelry store.

Two months after the opening of the jewelry store, the business was good. Until half a month ago, the servants in the store bled to death on the spot for unknown reasons in front of all the customers!After that, no one dared to set foot in the store, and the owner of the shop had no choice but to close the store and plan to sell it at a low price.

After that, there were rumors that the shop was ominous, even if the price was the lowest, no one would dare to buy it.

"It really is a haunted house! Three of them died in half a year, tsk tsk! The first two know, died of illness, died of food poisoning. Then, how did this person in the jewelry store die? What did the government say? Do you know why this happened? something?"

Hao Xue knew that it was not a problem with the store itself, but that it was caused by people, but she also felt that it was unlucky that three people died in the same place within half a year.She is about to use this store. Everyone thinks the store is ominous. If she reopens, no one will dare to patronize her. She thinks she has to let everyone know that there is no problem with Feng Shui. Open shop with confidence.

"It is said that it was poisoned. The body has been cremated. The subordinates have no way of confirming it. The boss is kind and has not offended anyone. The person who died is Li Yue. I have never heard of anyone that Li Yue offended. The government can't find out about this matter. What happened, the subordinates don't know what's going on." Mo Yin was thoughtful and had already inquired about it.

"Hmm...the boss is still in the city?" Hao Xue asked again after pondering for a moment.

"Yes."

"...How about the house?" Hao Xue asked again.

"The subordinates have checked, everything is normal, there is no old corruption."

"Go and investigate again. During Li Yue's work in the jewelry store and before, someone must have a grudge against her to kill her. I have to find out this case before I can use the store with confidence."

"Yes!"

Hao Xue was not idle either, she came to that street, and came to the store that Mo Yin had just bought for herself.The door of the store is closed tightly, and there are not many people in the left and right stores and stalls.
