While Xiao Yi Chen was looking for the thief, Ji Ling Xue and Mo Xiang slipped a tip to the guard at the back door, leaving the Ji residence without a hitch, coming to the wasteland in the western outskirt of the city, there was a piece of dried up land here.
Mo Xiang stood beside Ji Ling Xue looking puzzled at the two hundred li wide dried up land.
Mo Xiang said: "Mistress, why have we come here?"
Two days ago she had gone with her mistress to the poor area in the west of the city to give porridge to the beggars, using meat buns to entice the beggars, if they spoke of an interesting tale of the capital they could eat a scathing hot bun.
These beggars were famished all year round, hungry for a moment then full the next, sometimes they even ate the cold leftovers out of the waste bins behind restaurants, it was rare for them to see such fragrant and white tasty buns, that captivating meat bun was so fragrant it was worth more than silver in the eyes of those hungry beggars.
Ji Ling Xue went to that broken down temple to give out porridge for two days, and managed to hear quite a lot of gossip and information, to Mo Xiang this information was merely something to laugh over a cup of tea, something like that official got another concubine, or that family stole this family's chicken, Mo Xiang really didn't understand, what was the use of these gossips to her mistress.
Today, Ji Ling Xue once again suggested to leave the residence, Mo Xiang had thought her mistress was going to listen to gossip again, she didn't think she would come to this desolate dried up land.
Ji Ling Xue asked: "Why has this piece of land always been left uncultivated?" If she hadn't heard from the beggars that there was this piece of wasteland, she would really find it hard to believe there would be a wasteland in the capital where land is extremely expensive.
Mo Xiang thought about it saying: "I heard it's haunted here, the rich merchants who wanted to build on this land all met with accidents, after that no one dared to develop on this land and had been left abandoned."
Ji Ling Xue nodded, "Oh, since no one wants it, then this young lady will take it."
Mo Xiang's lips twitched, in her mind she ridiculed: Princess you're already married, you can't call yourself young lady.
Mo Xiang: "Princess, this place is haunted..."
Ji Ling Xue said: "I'm someone who has travelled through the gates of hell, what ghosts have I not seen, don't worry."
Mo Xiang had nothing to say.
Ji Ling Xue moved forwards two steps, smiling she said: "Mo Xiang, go to the authorities tomorrow, get the deed to this land, I don't care what method you use."

Mo Xiang was again speechless as she looked at the sky.
Ji Ling Xue again said: "This place is very close to the city gate, and there's a government road nearby, it's very good for a restaurant."
Mo Xiang, "Princess, the most popular restaurant in the capital is Wangshan, and it has prince Chen's treasured scroll as an attraction, we...let's ignore that it's remote, there are rumours about this place, will there be business?"
Ji Ling Xue smiled, "There are more ways than there are challenges, don't worry." Her pair of eyes were graceful, confidence filled her expression.
Ji ling Xue naturally had the advantage of self-confidence, because recently Xiao Yi Chen has been getting headaches, the greater his headaches, the happier she was.
Mo Xiang looked at Ji Ling Xue who was filled with confidence rather absent-mindedly, suddenly a hand grabbed her ankle, Mo Xiang's entire body felt unwell, her complexion paled, the next moment she let out a cry in fear, "Ah...there's a ghost!"
Ji Ling Xue keen eyes swept over, she did not see anything behind Mo Xiang, she however shook all over, she was so scared tears and mucus came streaming out. Travelling down Mo Xiang's trembling body, she saw a bloody black hand tightly holding onto Mo Xiang's white ankle.
Mo Xiang slowly lowered her head, when she saw the weird bloody hand on her ankle, she screeched even more miserably.
She always carried out her duties, she never did anything to offend the Heaven and reason, did the evil spirit find the wrong person, shouldn't good people live long, bad people should be plagued by evil spirits?
"It's not a ghost!" Ji Ling Xue said with certainty, and comforted Mo Xiang's frantic heart.
Mo Xiang only calmed down hearing this, following that bloody hand she looked behind her.
