Chapter 1200: Xiang Weinan's Wife
Shu Yu nodded in agreement. The mansion did have a large area.
Moreover, it was the Black Market. Her uncle, Yuan Shanchuan, had lived there for a period of time and knew that it was a complicated place with hidden passages and secret rooms. It took a lot of effort to build it.
She couldn't help but ask, "How much does the hill and the mansion cost together?"
"At least thirty thousand taels."
"That's too expensive." Thirty thousand taels could buy a large mansion with a good location in the outskirts of the capital.
Her rare and precious 'imported' mirror was not even that expensive.
Xiang Weinan sighed, "Indeed, it's expensive, and on top of that, the location is not very good. It's too remote and lacks any unique features. If there were hot springs on the hill, it might attract some people, but for ordinary merchants, who would buy a mansion there without a business to run?"
This was Jiangyuan County, not the capital. In the outskirts of the capital, buying such a hill and mansion might be a consideration for some, but in Jiangyuan County, it was too impractical.
It was in a place that was far from the village and had no shops nearby. It wasn't suitable for doing business and didn't have much use.
If it were cheaper, she might have been tempted by the house, but at such a high price, it was not worth it.
"It seems that the house won't sell anytime soon. Master Xiang, since you are well-informed, if someone buys the hill and the mansion later, make sure to let me know," Shu Yu said.
She knew who the buyer was, so she wanted to be prepared.
Xiang Weinan nodded, "Alright."
After finishing their conversation, Shu Yu was ready to leave.
"I still have some things to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Xiang Weinan knew that her real purpose was indeed to inquire about the Black Market.
He sneered lightly, "No need for me to see you off."
Shu Yu waved her hand and opened the door of the study.
However, just as she walked out about ten meters, she saw several people hurriedly approaching from the front.
The leader was a woman in her twenties, and from her imposing appearance, she was definitely not an ordinary person.
Shu Yu didn't recognize her, so she hesitated about whether to leave before meeting her.
However, before she could lift her foot, the woman on the opposite side had already quickened her pace and walked towards her with a smile.
"You must be Lu Xiangjun, right?"
Shu Yu could only stop in her tracks and nodded with a smile, "Are you..."
Before the woman could answer, one of her maidservants spoke, "This is our lady, the wife of the County Magistrate of Jiangyuan County."
Shu Yu widened her eyes. Xiang Weinan's... wife?
Wasn't Xiang Weinan's wife always in the capital? When did she come here? She was completely unprepared for this.
Shu Yu smiled politely, "It turns out to be Sister-in-law. We've never had a chance to meet. I didn't expect to meet today."
She knew nothing about Xiang Weinan's wife, so she wasn't sure about her attitude.
Xiao Shi held Shu Yu's arm and smiled, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, "Yes, we have quite a fate. I've heard Wang Hong talk about Lu Xiangjun before, and I've always wanted to meet you, but they all said you went to the capital. Who knew I just came from the capital and missed you like this. It's such a pity."
A question mark appeared above Shu Yu's head.
Wang Hong? She was Xiang Weinan's wife, but she learned about her name from Xiang Weinan's bodyguards. Shouldn't she have heard it from her husband?
This statement made Shu Yu feel a bit awkward.
Just as she was thinking about this, footsteps came from behind her.
When she turned her head, she saw Xiang Weinan coming out of the study. However, his expression was cold and icy at this moment.
