Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1200: Chapter 1200 Xiang Weinan’s Wife

Shu Yu nodded. Indeed, that manor covers a vast area.

Moreover, it’s the black market; her uncle Yuan Shanchuan lived there for a while and knows about all its twists and turns, including hidden passages and secret rooms, which took a lot of effort to build originally.

She couldn’t help but ask, “How much is the mountain and manor combined, approximately?”

“At least thirty thousand silver taels.”

“That’s too expensive.” Thirty thousand taels would be enough to buy a five-courtyard mansion in a prime location in the capital.

Her unique imported mirror wasn’t even that expensive.

Xiang Weinan sighed, “Isn’t it just expensive? Expensive, yes, but the location isn’t good either. Too remote, and it doesn’t have any special features. If there were hot springs on top of the mountain, it might attract people, but ordinary merchants wouldn’t buy a mansion there without living in it.”

This is Jiangyuan County, not the capital; people would still need to think twice before buying a mountain and manor on the outskirts of the capital.

It’s a place far from villages and shops, unsuitable for business and useless as a manor, which really limits its utility.

If it were cheap, perhaps one could grit their teeth and buy it, but at such a price, it isn’t worth it.

Shu Yu was actually a bit tempted by the manor, but as Xiang Weinan said, buying it serves no purpose and is prohibitively expensive.

“It seems that manor won’t be sold anytime soon. Lord Xiang, you’re well-informed, please let me know if someone buys the mountain and manor.”

She wanted to be prepared mentally should she recognize who it is.

Xiang Weinan nodded, “Done.”

After speaking, Shu Yu prepared to leave.

“I have other matters, I’ll be off now.”

Xiang Weinan knew her true purpose was to inquire about the black market.

He chuckled lightly, “I won’t see you off.”

Shu Yu waved her hand and directly opened the door of the study.

Who knew just after walking a dozen meters, a group of people hurriedly approached.

The leader was a woman around twenty years old, with a dignified appearance indicating she was no ordinary person.

Shu Yu didn’t recognize this person and hesitated about whether to leave while they hadn’t met.

But before she could lift her leg, the woman opposite quickened her pace and approached with a smile.

“You must be Monarch Lu Xiang, right?”

Shu Yu had to stop and smile while nodding, “You are…”

Before the woman could answer, her maid intervened, “This is our madam, the Madam of County Magistrate of Jiangyuan County.”

Shu Yu’s eyes widened. Xiang Weinan’s… wife?

Wasn’t it said Xiang Weinan’s wife was always in the capital? When did she come here? She had no mental preparation at all.

Shu Yu smiled softly, “So it’s Sister-in-law. I’ve yet to have the chance to meet you, didn’t expect such a coincidence today.”

She knew nothing about Xiang Weinan’s wife, especially not being able to gauge her attitude.

Xiao pulled Shu Yu’s arm, covering her mouth with a handkerchief while laughing, “Indeed, we have fate. I’ve heard Wang Hong speak of Monarch Lu Xiang many times, always wanted to meet you. They all said you went to the capital. I just came from the capital, and we missed each other, such a pity.”

A question mark popped up in Shu Yu’s mind.

Wang Hong? She was Xiang Weinan’s wife but heard her name from Xiang Weinan’s guard, instead of from her husband?

This sentence made Shu Yu feel somewhat subtle.

Just as she thought this, footsteps sounded from behind.

She turned her head and indeed saw Xiang Weinan emerging from the study, his face icy cold now.
