Prodigious Princess Qin Zetian - Chapter 12

We arrived at the bustling streets of the capital. I brought ten shadow guards with me, along with Lin Sha and Lin Tsu. While the princess only brought herself. She said she’d like to have freedom. The four of us walked and gather information about owners reselling their shops.

“Young miss that five shops ahead is emptied, they said these shops are haunted by ghosts and the customers will likely get mad when entering. Even the owners hear countless of ghosts crying at night. So the shops closed on their own.”

“It is likely that they are reduced to a bankruptcy state, Lin Sha go ahead and find the owner tell them I’d like to purchase all of the five shops.”

That maidservant of mine is efficient, in no time we are seated inside the abandoned building. The look on the owner’s face is witless, it’s more likely that someone has been scaring them off purposely. Many businesses close on their own when the pursuers are powerful. Ordinary people like him will likely submit, but I’m no ordinary woman.

“Greetings young misses, I am the current owner of the five shops. These shops are likely haunted so no one wants to purchase or rent them. I’m afraid if you buy them even at the lowest price you will regret it. Business cannot flourish in this area anymore because of the haunted disturbances.” the owner lowered his head

“It’s not a problem, rest assured as long as the price is right I will happily purchase the five shops.”

“Thank you young miss, it’s been so long since we have not gained any income at all and no one wants to purchase them. The price will be very reasonable and the documents will be readied by tomorrow.”

“En. I will bring the money tomorrow and collect the papers. I will also head to the bureau of the department of trades to legally transfer the ownership to me. It has been nice doing business with you Mr. Fang”

The man was stunned. He hasn’t even told us his name but the information I received from my maid is good enough.

We left early. Now that I acquired land, I need to tell my father about it so he won’t be too surprised. The savings that I get from my family is enough to buy me a land. The previous owner of this body has a good hobby of saving money, she rarely went out of the household so her allowance goes to the bank right away. And I am thankful for that.

She might not be as smart as I am, but her ways of money handling has guaranteed her future’s safety. When I get home I need to plan for the renovation of the area, and I will gladly ask my third uncle for help. I don’t know anyone from the carpentry work, so the labor and the budgeting will need an expert to manage it off.

“Princess aren’t you hungry? I’m starving, come on let’s take a stroll at the shops and eat along the way. If we happen to pass a restaurant we can drop by and eat something delicious”

“Good idea! Ze’er I never thought you’d be this proficient in business, it looks like you’re only playing games with this. Where will you get the money?”

“I rarely wander outside of the manor, and if I go out it will be my brothers paying for everything so my allowance goes straight to the bank. I have earned enough”

“You’re so admirable!”
