Chapter 91: Getting the Lowest Price

However, in the next moment, Shu Yu said, "This money is not easy to come by, so I have to go back and discuss it with my parents. Maybe we can raise some money from relatives and friends since we need capital for our business later."

The entire group facepalmed, and even the butler was getting impatient, about to say that if they couldn't come up with the money, they wouldn't rent the shop.

But unexpectedly, Shu Yu said, "Butler Yu, could you wait a moment? My family lives in Shishi Village, not far from here, and I will be back this afternoon."

Yu, the butler, raised his hand and asked, "Shishi Village?"

Shu Yu innocently nodded and said, "Yes, I promise I will be back within an hour."

Butler Yu furrowed his brows and asked hesitantly, "Is your surname Lu?"

Shu Yu nodded again and said, "Yes, that's right."

"I heard there are twin siblings with the surname Lu in Shishi Village. Do you know them?" Butler Yu asked.

Shu Yu took a step back in alarm, on guard, and said, "Why do you ask about the twin siblings? Don't tell me the Yu family hasn't given up on taking my younger brother and sister away? I heard that Lord Yu didn't know about this and even smashed the Ruan family. Isn't this matter over yet?"

Butler Yu looked at her with a complicated expression. It turned out that the twin siblings were her younger brother and sister. He sighed heavily and said, "Miss Lu, let's sit down and talk about renting the shop."

Shu Yu still didn't move and said, "Butler Yu, renting the shop has nothing to do with my younger brother and sister. I do like the location of this shop very much, but I wouldn't exchange it for their safety. I thought these were two separate matters, so when I found out from Quanzhong that this shop belonged to the Yu family, I thought it wouldn't be mixed up. Anyway, we don't know each other, and both of our families are innocent victims. But if you have any intentions towards my family, I won't rent it."

"Miss Lu." Seeing that she was about to leave, Yu the housekeeper hurriedly stopped her and said helplessly, "Miss Lu, please calm down and listen to me. Our master really didn't know about this. There were rumors about adopting twins before, but that was a plot against us. Who knew that the Ruan family would take advantage of it to harm your family. As for this matter, it has indeed passed."

"Really?" 

Yu the housekeeper nodded sincerely, "Really."

Quan Zhongren listened roughly from the side. He was a local person and well-informed. Although the master's house was in the town, he, as a person of his status, could not have been unaware of the incident where someone went and smashed a peasant's house. However, what Quan zhong didn't know was that the rumored twins were actually her younger brother and sister.

Quan Zhongren saw that the housekeeper Yu's attitude had softened and knew that this was a good opportunity. He quickly tried to persuade Lu.

Shu Yu nimbly walked down the steps and soon sat down with the housekeeper in a room that had already been cleaned up.

"Miss Lu, I apologize for raising the rent earlier. I mainly did it because you are young, and I was afraid that you were just fooling around. Now that I know about your family's situation, let's talk formally. According to the market here, this shop should cost about three to five taels of silver."

Quan Zhongren's mouth twitched. Three to five taels of silver was considered the lowest price.

Who knew that the housekeeper would continue, "Of course, Miss Lu can still negotiate the price."
