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

Chapter 230 Ziyun Villa

Ru Yue and Uncle Wei looked at each other, and they both understood each other and started to think about it in their minds.

There is such a place hidden here. If it is really suitable, it would be what I want!

Uncle Wei asked casually, "Kid, how did you know that the price of Ziyun Villa was so low?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch. The reason a manor is so cheap that even a beggar knows about it is probably more complicated than that.

The little beggar was not at all shy. He looked around cautiously at first, and a trace of fear and worry quickly passed across his face.

How could his subtle movements escape the eyes of Ru Yue and Uncle Wei?

The two of them understood it instantly and thought that Ziyun Villa must be extraordinary.

The little beggar timidly replied, "Miss, this Ziyun Villa is notorious for being haunted. Everyone in Pinggu Town knows about it! That's why the family sold it at a low price, but even so, no one is interested."

After saying this, he seemed afraid that Ru Yue and the others would misunderstand him as having ill intentions, so he quickly added an explanation: "Miss, I have absolutely no intention of harming you. I just thought the price there was cheaper. Otherwise...why don't you two go?"

The beggar's heart suddenly trembled, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a mistake. He kept thinking about his proposal in his mind, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

These kind-hearted people in front of me have just saved my life. What should I do if my suggestion makes them think that I have ulterior motives and want to harm them?

As his thoughts churned, the beggar's heart became increasingly uneasy, as if countless ants were crawling in his heart.

Ru Yue, who was standing by, saw the guilt on the beggar's face. As smart as she was, she naturally understood that the child was kind-hearted and had no intention of recommending a so-called haunted house to them.

Moreover, Ru Yue had never been particularly afraid of legends about gods and ghosts. Although she herself was a lonely soul drifting from another world, she had experienced many hardships and had long since become indifferent to life and death, and would not be easily frightened by such illusory things.

Ru Yue smiled slightly and comforted him in a light-hearted and teasing tone: "Don't worry! Haven't I bought the house yet? It's okay to go and take a look. Do you think that ghost will come out in broad daylight to do evil and hurt people?" After saying that, she winked playfully.

After hearing this, the beggar's heart finally settled down a little, but he was still observing Ru Yue's expression anxiously, fearing that she was just talking.

At this moment, Ru Yue seemed to have remembered something and asked again, "By the way, little one, what's your name? How old are you this year?"

Seeing that Ru Yue really had no intention of blaming him, the beggar finally breathed a sigh of relief and completely put his mind at ease. He quickly replied, "Miss, my name is Aji, and I am probably eleven years old this year." After saying that, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

The little beggar behaved very well and sensibly when questioned, telling everything he knew. However, surprisingly, he did not seem to understand clearly even about his own affairs, and his answers were always ambiguous and vague.

This situation couldn't help but make Ru Yue feel pity. She secretly wondered what kind of hardships and twists and turns this poor child had experienced to end up in such a situation.

While everyone was talking, the carriage had already traveled slowly for a distance, and in less than two quarters of an hour, it arrived in front of a rather large manor.

At first glance, this manor looks a bit dilapidated, but it covers a large area and gives people a sense of solemnity.

Fengying carefully helped Ru Yue get off the carriage, and then the group walked towards the gate of the manor together.

When they got closer and took a closer look, they realized that the farm was not actually too old. It just looked a little dilapidated because no one had taken good care of it for a long time.

They had not yet entered the manor to explore, but just from looking at the magnificent gate, they could imagine that there must be another world inside, and the scenery inside must be extremely impressive.

An Er walked over to Ru Yue and said softly, "Miss, how about I go in and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Ru Yue did not say anything, but just nodded slightly.

After receiving the order, An Er became extremely agile. He flashed and leaped like a ghost, instantly jumping into the manor and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Fengying, standing nearby, watched An Er rush into the manor to investigate. She couldn't help but feel anxious, her curiosity uncontrollable. She quickly approached Ru Yue and pleaded eagerly, "Miss, I want to go in and take a look too!"

Before he could finish his words, and before he could even wait for Ru Yue to nod in agreement, Feng Ying couldn't wait to follow him and hurriedly chased into the farm.

"Aji, look at this manor. It looks so magnificent and imposing. How come there are rumors of it being haunted?" Ru Yue's face was full of confusion. She looked at Aji curiously, and couldn't wait to know the reason.

Aji spoke calmly, "Young lady, you don't know! This manor was originally a dowry of the old princess of the Yongning County Palace. Later, the old princess gave it to the Yongning County Prince. Three years ago, the Yongning County Prince fell in love with the courtesan of Yaxiang Tower. It is said that the prince spent a huge sum of money to redeem her. However, because he was worried that the courtesan would be wronged after returning to the Prince's Palace, he secretly placed her in this manor."

Aji was very eloquent. He spoke not only clearly and fluently but also logically. This made Ru Yue, who was listening at the side, admire him even more.

"Who would have thought that in just half a year, the Crown Princess would lead a group of people to the manor in a threatening manner. Poor courtesan, she was eventually beaten to death. What's even more shocking is that I heard that the courtesan was more than three months pregnant at the time. Since then, many people in Pinggu Town said that every night they could hear someone singing in this manor, sometimes mixed with bursts of miserable crying." Just like that, Aji told the whole story behind the manor in one go.

"The absurd behavior of the Prince of Yongning caused a huge uproar in the city, and everyone knew about it!" Uncle Wei said with emotion as he recalled the incident. "I heard that even the current emperor heard about it. He was furious and summoned the Prince of Yongning to the palace to give him a severe scolding. That scene, wow... It is said that the emperor was so angry that he was on the verge of stripping the Prince of Yongning of his title!"

Uncle Wei's vivid description made Ru Yue, who was standing beside him, listen attentively and believe what he said even more.

At this moment, An Er and Feng Ying flew out of the village as fast as the wind, one in front and one behind, their movements agile and light.

However, there was an indescribable expression on An Er's face, as if he was worried or suspicious, which was hard to understand; even Fengying, who was always lively, had an indescribable expression on his face at this moment.

Their appearance successfully aroused Ru Yue's curiosity and desire to explore.

She couldn't help but stare at the two of them, trying to find some clues from their expressions and actions.
