The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Chapter 235 Closing the shop

I have been busy running around these days with various affairs, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Uncle Wei stayed at the farm and devoted himself to the preparation and construction of the new "Ming Yue Dian".

There are still a few days left until June, but fortunately he has accumulated rich experience in building workshops before, and there are ready-made regulations for reference. I believe that the progress of this project will be much faster than before.

At this time, Ru Yue and Feng Ying, both dressed in men's clothing, were leisurely strolling on Zhuque Street, the most prosperous and lively street in the capital.

The two of them were born with beautiful faces and charming appearances. Even though they were now disguised as men, they still couldn't hide their outstanding grace and charm. They attracted the curious and amazed gazes of many passers-by along the way.

For Ru Yue, this was the first time in her life that she set foot in this ancient capital - the capital!

Looking at the dazzling array of shops, the bustling crowds, and the dazzling array of goods, she couldn't help but exclaim inwardly: It truly lived up to its reputation! It truly was a prime district nestled at the foot of the Emperor, within the imperial city! Whether it was the delicacies and fine wines of the land and sea, the daily necessities of silks and satins, the rare treasures, or even the toys for entertainment... everything was meticulously selected and of the highest quality, simply not comparable to what could be found in more remote prefectures and counties.

Here, there is never a shortage of powerful and generous people, so the goods and services provided by merchants must naturally strive to be perfect!

As they walked and looked around, Ru Yue and Feng Ying unknowingly reached the end of the street. After searching for a while, they finally arrived at their destination.

The two men first carefully took out the deeds they carried with them, and then checked them carefully. After confirming again and again, they stepped into the door with confidence.

It was an antique shop that looked a bit old. There was a slightly faded sign hanging at the door, and the words on it were blurred.

Upon entering the shop, a faint smell of dust greeted me. Inside, a variety of calligraphy, paintings, and antiques were displayed, but a closer inspection revealed that these items were not particularly exquisite or rare. Even someone like Ru Yue, completely inexperienced and ignorant of antiques, could easily discern the crude workmanship and low quality of these items, clearly inferior goods. Even more so were discerning and experienced connoisseurs who would likely turn away with disdain.

At that moment, there were only a handful of customers in the store, casually browsing the merchandise on the shelves, while the shopkeeper leaned behind the counter, half-closed his eyes, dozing listlessly.

The guy next to them also looked lazy, occasionally looking up to deal with customers, with no intention of providing enthusiastic service at all.

Judging from the deserted scene, this store may close down soon.

Ru Yue and Feng Ying slowly wandered around the store, scanning every item, but couldn't find anything that interested them or that they found valuable. After browsing for a while, they felt bored and decided not to waste any more time. They went straight to the shopkeeper to explain their purpose.

Ru Yue walked up to the shopkeeper, cleared her throat, and said, "Shopkeeper, this shop is mine. I rented it to you four years ago. Now I want to take it back. Please move out as soon as possible."

Hearing this, the sleepy shopkeeper suddenly opened his eyes, lifted his drooping eyelids, and looked up and down at the two young men in front of him. Ru Yue and Feng Ying looked like teenagers in their teens. Although their clothes were neat and tidy, they did not look rich or luxurious.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but feel a trace of contempt in his heart. He snorted coldly and said in a bad tone: "Hmph! Where did you two kids come from? How dare you come here and talk nonsense, saying that this shop is yours? Don't you know that this shop has an owner? Why don't you go and find out whose property this is!" After that, the shopkeeper closed his eyes again and ignored Ru Yue and Feng Ying.

Ru Yue calmly pulled a slightly old, slightly yellowed deed from her sleeve pocket. She gently held it in her hand, shaking it a few times. Then, facing the shopkeeper, she said firmly, "Open your eyes and take a good look. This is the deed to this shop! I've owned it for four years."

The shopkeeper held his head high and glanced at the contract with an extremely arrogant and contemptuous attitude.

After all, he had been through many ups and downs and had seen all sorts of things. With just one glance, he could tell the official seal on the deed was not a forgery.

The shopkeeper thought to himself that something was wrong, but he still didn't give up. He suddenly stretched out his right hand and tried to snatch the deed.

However, just as his hand was about to touch the contract, a white and slender little hand reached out as fast as lightning and clamped his wrist firmly with precision.

The shopkeeper suddenly let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered: "Ouch, it hurts, it hurts... Let go!" It turned out that the one who tried to stop him was Feng Ying who was standing next to Ru Yue.

Fengying had no intention of showing any mercy. She held the shopkeeper's wrist tightly, with a look of obvious disdain on her face.

She scolded in a cold tone: "Just watch carefully when I tell you to, keep your hands and feet clean, and don't move around!" Faced with such a powerful Fengying, the shopkeeper was a little dazed for a moment and was completely frightened.

He could only cry out in pain while rolling his eyes, his gaze revealing a hint of cunning and sinisterness.

The shopkeeper gave the clerk a furtive glance, as if signaling him to quickly find help. He was afraid he couldn't handle the situation alone. Obviously, he had no authority to decide who would own the shop, so he didn't dare give it up so easily.

His chubby face was covered with a fawning smile, and he nodded and said, "My dear sir, please don't misunderstand me. I have absolutely no ill intentions. It's just that this shop is an inheritance passed down from our master's ancestors. I really can't understand how this deed...how did this deed...how did it end up in your hands for no apparent reason?"

You have to know that Suzaku Street is one of the most prosperous and bustling areas in the capital, where every inch of land is truly worth a fortune. The shops on this street aren't something anyone can own; the owners are all prominent and wealthy. It's simply impossible for anyone without a wealthy background to own a business here.

At this moment, he was shocked to see the two strangers in front of him actually taking out the deed of his shop in a dignified manner.

For a moment, he had no idea where these two people came from, what their backgrounds were, and what their abilities were. So, he decided to cautiously test them and try to get some useful information out of them.

However, facing his question, Ru Yue remained remarkably calm and composed. She didn't even bother to say a single word, simply staring blankly at him and responding firmly, "Since you keep saying this is your master's shop, do you have a deed to prove it?"

It turned out that the deed to this shop was one of the deeds that Linglan had given her before.

They were just trying it out, just testing the waters. Who would have thought they would be so lucky to actually find the real culprit?
