"This estate belonged to a concubine from the previous County Magistrate's family. The previous County Magistrate must have offended someone because he was stripped of his office and beheaded. This concubine, relying on the County Magistrate's power, used to not hesitate in bullying others. Now, someone deliberately trapped them. Their son lost several thousand taels of silver in the gambling house, and with their family business targeted, they could only remedy their deficit by selling the fine estate for a low price," Ye Wenzheng explained, and only then did Ye Jiu understand.
As long as the land was fine, Ye Jiu was immediately interested. She got up from the ground, dusted off the dirt from her clothes, and said, "Where is this place? Let's go take a look."
"It's not far, that concubine is from our town, just a couple of villages away," Ye Wenzheng responded.
