Chapter 676: The Ghost is Very Cunning

himed in with the rest."Yes, my elder brother and I saw a corpse on the mountain today.""This sound we hear every day living on the mountain, these ghosts specifically target those wicked people who l...If she were to show off the apothecary in her space, it would definitely cause a stir.

Even the Tibetan medicine of a hundred-year-old medical family might not be as rich as hers.

Of course, this was all thanks to her finding a treasure trove. Her husband just so happened to be able to move freely in that mountain everyone feared. If it were anyone else, even if they knew there were plenty of rare herbs inside, they might not be able to get them out.

"My lord, it's time, we should return to the manor."

The little servant knocked lightly on the door and called out.

Fang Jinxiu suddenly raised her head, thinking she had misheard.

She widened her eyes and pointed outside the door, “Fatty Grandpa, your servant just called you, Your Highness”

No way.

Is the big boss of Muzhou City, the one Fu Ming mentioned, that fat old man

"Heh heh." The fat old man didn't show any nervousness or discomfort at all, instead his smile became even more amiable.

"It's just a hollow title, nothing to take seriously."

"Hey girl, don't you have any acquaintances in Muzhou Why not come stay at my place for a few days"

Fang Jinshi's mind was racing. Moving into the prince's mansion had both advantages and disadvantages. If she could really build a good relationship with the prince who resided in Mùzhōu City, buying grain would definitely not be a problem.

Did that old man just play her

The fat old man seemed to see through Fang Jinshu's thoughts and said with a smile.

Even if I am a prince, I can't force the grain merchants to sell all their grain to you.

"However, I could pull some strings for you. They might be willing to give you more food if they see my face."

It's fine, leaving a powerful person like the Prince unused would be foolish.

Fang Jinshu didn't hesitate for long, stood up and bowed to the fat old man.

"Thank you, Lord, for the invitation. This humble woman would be honored to comply."

Though she politely declined, she was actually very happy to move in.

This little girl is very cunning.

The portly old man chuckled merrily as he departed. Noticing Fang Jinshi standing alone, he thoughtfully left a young servant by her side before leaving.

This servant was no ordinary retainer; he had served by the fat old master's side since childhood, one of his most trusted confidants. Ordinary stewards in the mansion would bow and greet him respectfully.

The portly old man had just stepped out of the teahouse when Fang Jinshi followed closely behind, intending to continue hiring a car to look for Zongyu.

Si Li swiftly followed behind her and suddenly called out, "Lady Zong."

Fang Jinshu was startled and turned to find the little servant who had just led her.

"You, you... why didn't you walk with your lord"

The steward bowed politely to her, "Returning madam's words, the prince said that since madam has just arrived in Muzhou City, she must be unfamiliar with the place. So he asked me to stay and be at your disposal."

"No matter what Madam wishes to do, just instruct the servant and they shall obey."

Fang Jinshi didn't bother being polite to the old man either. She was genuinely worried about finding Ah Yu right now.

She's been missing for so many days, you don't have to think about it to know that Zongyu must have gone crazy looking for her, and he must be worried out of his mind.

"What's your name"

"My name is Si Li."

"Alright, Sir Li, I won't stand on ceremony with your Master Wang. I do have something urgent to attend to."

After Fang Jinshu told Si Li about finding someone, Si Li calmly performed another bow.

She had a terrible headache now and truly believed the fat old man was indeed the prince. Even his attendants were so disciplined, never slacking on their etiquette when it was time to show respect.

It's just too fussy.

"There's no need to trouble Madam with such a small matter. Since you know the place, I'll send someone to invite your friend and husband over right away."

"Let me escort my lady back to the palace first to rest."

Fang Jinshi was uneasy. She was just about to refuse when, the next second, she saw several people storm out of the Wenfang Pavilion opposite her with a menacing aura.

She immediately hid behind the officer out of fright.

"Miss Zong"

Damn, Li Lie's people reacted so quickly Looking at their attitude, they must have been sent to find her.

It's unlikely that we can go out of the city to find someone with the Master of Ceremonies.

"Alright, I'll return to the palace first and await your news. Si Li, you must ensure my husband and his companions return safely."

Si Li nodded and beckoned for the carriage not far away. Fang Jinshu, covering her face, quickly got into the carriage.

Inside the Wanfang Pavilion, Li Lie's naked body hung from the railing of the second-floor corridor. The first floor was crowded with onlookers.

The girls huddled together, laughing and commenting on Li Lie's physique.

His face was beaten into a pig's head by Fang Jinshu, and his subordinates standing on the first floor watched the commotion for a long time, but they couldn't recognize that the person hanging there was their master.

When Li Lie slowly regained consciousness and saw his situation, he let out a roar of utter rage.

Those few subordinates who were watching the commotion suddenly froze, "How is this person's voice so similar to Young Master's"

"Oh no! He's the young master!" Li Lie glared with murderous intent, scaring his subordinates half to death.

"Hurry, save the young master! Evacuate everyone!"aster Zong, but he was pulled back by Fang Jinshu.She smiled confidently, "Alright, then you just wait and see.""My life, is it really so worth having."If it weren't for the sake of the child, she wou...
