Upon hearing the waiter's report, Qiu Lingpi was surprised to find that Song Xiangsi was indeed in her new store. His expression immediately turned ugly.

Although he had long since known that Song Xiangsi was not a person he could live in forever in his own shop, he had not expected her to have other thoughts so quickly. He could not help but be angered.

He had already made the most of his concessions, and the commission he had promised her had been doubled.

Qiu Lingdi was truly powerless. He sat down to take a sip of tea and waved his hand to allow the young servant to lead Song Dabao out. "I don't have any way to use it for now, so you can go back first."

He thought for a moment before giving an order, "Do not tell the Lovesick girl about your visit today."

Song Dabao secretly rolled his eyes, he was not an idiot, he was not the type of person who would spread the news himself. He hurriedly replied and followed the waiter out, and when he reached the door and saw that Qiu Lingpi did not intend to give him any money, he stopped and turned back to look at him.

He rubbed his hands together and laughed, "My family is poor, and the Lovesick girl doesn't know how to be filial to me. So, do you want to go to the county or do you want me to walk over here today?"

Qiu Lingzhi was a smart guy, how could he hide his thoughts from him? Waving his hand, he said to the waiter, "Go and ask the lady to give fifty coins to this Elementary Scholar."

When Song Dabao heard that it was only fifty gold coins, he immediately became unhappy and grumbled, "If I hadn't come to send you a message, I really would have let the girl open the shop. Where did you lose fifty gold coins …"

Qiu Lingpi frowned. He was really tired of pestering him. With a wave of his hand, he had someone take a tael of silver.

Song Dabao happily accepted it. His expression was no longer gloomy. Instead, he spoke a bunch of good words to Qiu Lingpi with gratitude. He took the silver and happily went out to eat and drink.

After sending the man out, Qiu Lingpi frowned.

Song Xiangsi was such an intelligent and transparent girl, how could she have such a father …

Judging from this person's behavior, it was clear that he wasn't worried that his daughter would go astray as he said. He was obviously doing this on purpose!

With some worry, Qiu Lingpi followed the waiter again. Sure enough, he saw Song Xiangsi directing the decoration, and judging from her appearance, she was even prettier than his furniture shop. He also believed her, and his expression darkened as he led them home.

Song Xiangsi did not know that Song Dabao had already betrayed her, and was happily letting people decorate him. When he was free, he would cook some snacks for his brother and sister to eat at the academy, even preparing a serving for Teacher Wang.

The furniture shop's business was not bad, and Qiu Lingpi would also send people to give him commission at regular intervals. Meng Ling Xuan's chess stand was always in the account, and it seemed that his days were going smoothly.

She had been in a hurry to get the job done, so she had hired two groups of workers to work day and night.

Recently, she went to the shop as usual to check on the progress of the renovation, but saw that the workers were unusually idle today, doing nothing at all. One by one, they sat on the floor, with their heads hanging down, dozing off.

She was a little angry. These people were actually lazy even though she had paid for it and wanted to finish it quickly.

He wanted to find the foreman to say something, but the other party came up to him. When he saw her, he looked as if he had just eaten sh * t, and his face was completely scrunched up.

"I say, boss, you're finally here. I don't think we'll be able to do our job anymore. Give us the wages, then look for someone else."

Song Xiangsi's eyelids jumped, "What happened? Didn't we agree to work day and night after the money is added? Why are you suddenly asking me to switch people? "

After some thought, he asked, "What happened, or did someone come to look for you?"

She thought it was the Song Family's two weirdos causing trouble again.

The foreman looked at her hesitantly, his eyes darting around as if he was afraid of something. After a while, he stammered, "No, it's …" It's the haunted house! "

"Haunted?" Song Xiangsi was also surprised. "What the hell are you doing?"

The foreman was also confused, he shook his head, "I don't know what's going on. It was fine a few days ago, but these few days, when we brothers were working at night, we could always hear women crying. Also, when we woke up at night, there were people crying beside us saying that they wanted to eat him."

He looked like a man of deep thought.

Song Xiangsi raised her brows, "There's such a thing?" She squinted her eyes, as she had a hunch that she wasn't in a hurry. She thought for a moment, then took out 10 taels of silver from her sleeve and said to the foreman.

"How about this, take this silver and have a good meal with everyone. Let's have a day off. I'll take care of it myself and see what happens today."

The foreman quickly waved his hand, "We will get as much money as we want. Boss, we have never seen such a generous boss who even sends us delicious sesame seed cakes. If we want your money again, who are we?"

The point was, he still wanted to leave. The room was eerie and he always felt scared.

Song Xiangsi frowned and insisted on stuffing the money into the foreman's hand, "Take it and consider it as my kindness to everyone. Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely give you guys an explanation.

The foreman hesitated for a moment, then asked everyone else about it. Seeing that none of them had any objections, he took the money and left with them.

The room became empty, and Song Xiangsi's expression also darkened. No matter if it was a human or a ghost, once she became rich, she would definitely not let them have a good time!

Hmmph — haunted? Then let her, a lone soul from the twenty-first century, meet him!

Song Xiangsi did not stay any longer and went straight to the stall set up by Meng Lianxuan. She told him about what had happened. Finally, she frowned and said coldly, "I will stay here tonight to see what exactly is happening!"

"Alright." Meng Fanxuan nodded. "I'll go with you."

He stopped selling and accompanied Song Xiangsi back to the town. He arranged for his younger brother and sister to stay at their home in the village and took some silver taels. Then, he hurried back to the county city.

At night, Song Xiangsi and Meng Lianxuan would guard the store together. The wind was strong, and the two of them would cover each other with a layer of quilts as they paid careful attention to any movement nearby.

They had been waiting half the night, yet not a single ghost could be seen. After half a night of drowsiness, they fell asleep peacefully and didn't have as much trouble as the overseer had said.

Song Xiangsi frowned, her expression turning ugly, "Don't tell me the foreman wants to frame me?"
