"Will there be any other troubles?"
"No." Seeing him stop, the Sixth Grandfather nodded urgently:
"There definitely won't be any other troubles."
"The place I'm currently living is being given away for free?"
"Free!"
"Hmm." Fang Zheng seed thoughtful, and asked:
"Can the process be completed within three days?"
"Three days?" The Sixth Grandfather appeared hesitant, the governnt office side wasn't much of an issue, with so money and connections, it could be done in a day.
But how the Sun Family would divide it hasn't been discussed yet, three days seed a bit short.
"Not possible?" Fang Zheng shook his head:
"Then forget it."
"Possible!" The Sixth Grandfather said urgently:
"Definitely not a problem!"
First take the money, and as for how to divide it, that's a matter for later. The main thing now is to quickly sell off this ominous mansion.
"Then it's four hundred and eighty taels."
Fang Zheng nodded:
"I can only pay two hundred taels right now, the remaining money will be paid later."
He wasn't willing to pay directly even for the Wang Family's Thunder Walking Red Porcelain formula for fear of attracting trouble, now it was even less likely he'd pay in full.
"Ah?"
The Sixth Grandfather's expression changed again.
"Don't worry." Fang Zheng spoke:
"Soonest in two months, slowest in half a year, you will certainly get the remaining money, we can draw up a written agreent, I'll pay the interest."
"This..." The Sixth Grandfather thought for a mont, and replied:
"I need to discuss it with others, Young Master Fang also knows that this mansion belongs to the Sun Family, I can't decide alone."
"Hmm." Fang Zheng was indifferent:
"Then I'll wait for your news."
He didn't have to wait long.
The next day, the Sixth Grandfather of the Sun Family visited him, even bringing the house deed directly, and he could go to the governnt office for verification that sa day.
Such speed made Fang Zheng a bit hesitant.
Could there be any issues?
Facts proved that there were no issues with the house, the Sun Family just wanted to get the money quickly, after all, there weren't many people in Gu'an County who could co up with so much silver.
Other wealthy people weren't interested at all in the Sun Family Mansion where people had died and scandals had occurred.
With the path paved with silver taels, the process went very quickly, three days later Fang Zheng beca the owner of the mansion, moving in openly and boldly.
"Put things over there!"
"Yes!"
"Put this in that room."
Wu Hai directed people to move things, once tidied up, he clapped his hands and walked over:
"Master, this courtyard really is nice as long as you don't think about those ominous things, but you have too few belongings, they seem scarce even in two rooms, and it lacks liveliness."
Such a large courtyard has only Fang Zheng currently.
"Indeed!"
Scanning around, the courtyard was spacious yet silent, inevitably giving a sense of desolation.
"Master." Wu Hai quietly said:
"Have you considered finding a female owner for this courtyard?"
Fang Zheng felt a stir in his heart.
His parents passed away when he was young, although he had his uncle with him, it was just like being cooped up together, he actually valued feelings and a partner very much.
This was sothing that Dapeng understood the most.
According to Dapeng, Fang Zheng lacked love.
That's why he was deceived and fell into love during high school, not recovering for years, later even getting entangled with Guo Erqiu.
"Wu Hai."
Fang Zheng touched his chin and asked:
"What do you think of the Young Martial Arts Hall Master of Pan She Martial Arts Hall?"
Du Qiaoyun has good looks, a graceful figure, importantly a good personality, and he gets along well with her, they even have experienced life and death together.
Perhaps,
it was worth trying to talk.
"Miss Du." Wu Hai nodded:
"She's great."
"Speaking of which, I've prepared a gift for Miss Du." Fang Zheng smiled:
"I'll go see her later."
......
"Miss Du!"
"Young Master Fang!"
The two t at the martial arts hall entrance, and said in unison:
"I have sothing to say!"
"You talk first."
"You talk first."
Du Qiaoyun laughed softly:
"Young Master Fang, we really are in sync."
"Yes." Fang Zheng nodded, smiling:
"Miss Du, you should speak first."
"Hmm." Du Qiaoyun nodded, a blush appeared on her face, her expression beca sowhat awkward, she lowered her head and spoke softly:
"Third Brother is back, my father intends for us to get engaged in the next few days."
"..." Fang Zheng's smile stiffened, his face expressionless.
"Young Master Fang?"
"Oh!" Fang Zheng ca back to his senses, expressionlessly handing over the package in his hands:
"Miss Du has helped a great deal recently, I have no way to repay you, I noticed the quality of your Soft Sword isn't high, so I specially had one crafted."
The package contained a sword box.
"Clack..."
Opening the sword box, a glimr of cold light appeared.
"This..." Du Qiaoyun picked up the Soft Sword, just a light shake could tell the value of the sword, she couldn't help but shake her head repeatedly:
"Young Master Fang, this is too precious!"
This sword had a simple and elegant design, an extrely sharp blade, and impressive flexibility.
Selling for a hundred taels of silver would not be an issue.
Probably far more!
"It's okay."
Fang Zheng shook his head:
"Without Miss Du, whether I would still be alive today is uncertain, isn't my life worth this sword?"
"That's enough!"
Without waiting for her to refuse, he put the package into Du Qiaoyun's arms and turned away.
Returning to the courtyard.
Fang Zheng looked towards the sky in silence.
He felt his chance of finding love was hopeless.
After a long while.
He took out his erhu from the house, seated himself on a wooden stool under the tree in the courtyard, and gently plucked the strings.
Wailing, desolate, faintly and hazily, like a nebulous fog that's hard to grasp, like the changing breeze that's nowhere to be found, the low, hoarse, tear-inducing sound arose.
Wu Hai peeked in from the front courtyard, then withdrew with a strange expression.
"Wasn't Master going to look for Miss Du from Pan She Martial Arts Hall?"
"Why is he back looking like this?"
"Hmm..."
"Could it be, he's heartbroken again?"
