This was one of his people, naturally everything was fine, he didn't need others to point fingers and point fingers at him. Most importantly, he secretly felt that the dishes cooked by Song Xiangchen could only be eaten by himself, and he didn't want to share them with other men.

The last time Song Xiangsi cooked for him at Qiu Lingpi's house, he had caused a ruckus.

Only when Ender had sharp eyes and noticed that his complexion was not looking good did he hurriedly reprimand him, making everyone shut their mouths. Only after he had finished eating did he help to clean up and wash the dishes before returning them to Song Xiangsi.

Song Xiangsi did not think too much about it. She looked at the crowd and then pulled Andrah to the side.

Clasping his arms, Meng Fanxuan let out a cold snort and turned his head away.

Ender's body trembled. He was scared out of his wits and quickly distanced himself from Song Xiangsi, feeling slightly relieved.

Song Xiangsi did not think too much into it. She moved closer and asked softly, "You stayed here last night. Did you notice anything unusual?"

Ender understood that she was referring to the matter of ghosts, and hurriedly shook his head. He also felt a little strange, why did she stop work, and the matter of ghosts no longer existed, and he felt even more certain that someone was behind this matter. The reason he didn't come last night was because he hadn't discovered that Song Xiangsi had already hired a new helper.

He thought for a while and already had a way to catch that person. He answered honestly, "Nothing abnormal happened yesterday."

Song Xiangsi then heaved a sigh of relief, praising the team he was leading with a smile. All of the young men were spirited and diligent in their work.

Ender chuckled, but couldn't help but perspire on his forehead. He subconsciously looked at Meng Ling Xuan, and upon seeing that his master didn't have any expression, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Why didn't he know before, how could his master be so jealous!

Of course, his mistress had never met a woman she cared about before.

After giving him a few more instructions on how to decorate the house, he then left with Meng Fanxuan.

Over the next few days, Song Xiangsi would come to the shop to check. Every day, she would ask if there was anything amiss with Ander. After seeing that everything was fine for a long time, she did not pay any attention to it and just left it at the back of her mind.

However, news of her store being haunted and unlucky continued to spread, and it was growing more and more intense. This made her a bit worried, if she didn't quickly resolve this matter, then even if this shop was renovated and opened, no one would dare to buy anything.

It was just that he had no clue and it was tiring to investigate the matter. Song Xiangsi had no choice but to take the first step forward.

However, she unexpectedly discovered that there was another person in the store. He was wearing a large set of white clothes, which did not match his slender figure, and was hanging like a sheet on his body. His hair was disheveled like a chicken's nest, which was tied up inside the store.

There were quite a number of people surrounding the entrance of the store. Each one of them had their arms crossed as they pointed at that person, discussing something.

Surprised, she looked at Ender, who was guarding at the side, and asked in puzzlement, "This is …"

Ender bowed respectfully to her, then opened his mouth and explained, "It started a few days ago. At night, we brothers can always see shadows wandering around, and it looks like there's a ghost. After thinking about it carefully, I felt that something's fishy."

"Why do you start causing trouble whenever someone else is working? I was thinking that it must be someone messing around, but in order not to alert the others, you asked me a few days ago, and I didn't say anything. This isn't yesterday, this person came again, and we caught him red-handed."

Song Xiangsi instantly understood what was going on. Anger raged in her heart as she took a step forward and pulled the man up. At first glance, she was unfamiliar with him, but she was not familiar with him.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I have no grudges with you. Why are you trying to scare me with a ghost? Did you almost cause my shop to come here? Do you have any conscience?"

Song Xiangsi scolded him without hesitation, causing the man to shrink back in fear. He was just a fifteen or sixteen year old boy, how could he have experienced such a storm? Song Xiangsi scolded him so harshly, causing the man to immediately cry and explain tremblingly.

"Elder sister, please spare me, it's not me …" "I didn't want to harm you …"

He was crying pitifully, and he did not look like he had a bad personality either. This made Song Xiangsi even more confused, "Why do you have to act all by yourself and scare me? What's the benefit of harming my store?"

The young man did not say anything, just held his sleeves and sobbed as he wiped away his tears. Song Xiangsi felt a headache coming on.

Meng Ling Xuan raised his eyebrows, walked up to the teenager, and squatted down in front of him. He asked coldly, "Is there someone controlling you from behind? "How much did he give you to do such a disheartening thing? As long as you tell me, I'll give you twice the amount of silver."

Song Xiangsi was stunned and could not help but pat her forehead. That's right, how could she have forgotten about this? This youth did not look bad, and he did not have any grudges with her. He must have been ordered by someone else.

If not for Meng Ling Xuan's reminder, she really would have forgotten about it. Thus, she pressed, "Speak, who sent you here?"

The boy did not expect the two to be so smart. His body trembled even more and he cried with grievance. "Wuwuwu …" I can't say it, but something will definitely happen if I say it. Elder sister, I won't dare to say it again, I beg you to let me go. "

Song Xiangsi frowned. Although this youth was still considered a child and looked very pitiful, she was not stupid. If she did not find out who the mastermind was, even if she caught the boy's trick, she could not guarantee that he would have other bad ideas about her.

She didn't have the time to waste on others!

"You're not saying, are you?" Song Xiangsi narrowed her eyes slightly. Her voice was cold, and her gaze towards the youth carried a hint of danger.

The youth jumped in shock and subconsciously shrunk his neck, but he gritted his teeth and refused to speak.

Song Xiangsi could no longer be bothered with him. She stood up and said coldly, "Everyone can see that you are the one who is trying to scare people. I'll send you to the yamen and have the county magistrate ask you."

The corners of Meng Fanxuan's mouth curled up. A dark glint flashed in his eyes as he suddenly spoke in an indifferent tone, "I heard that the jailers have a hand broken when they deal with those prisoners who refuse to speak."

Ender understood and immediately sighed. "That's right. A few years ago, a relative of mine went in and stole two pieces of money from a little kid. After coming out, she didn't even look like a person anymore."

"It's common to pinch your fingers and pinch your toes. The guards are in a bad mood so they would whip you. There are bloody wounds all over your body."

The crowd at the side also joined in, and added with a mischievous smile, "Not only that, I heard that you have a red-hot iron brand, and this taste doesn't feel good."
