"I have never seen him either. It is said that his old lady and our old man are distant cousins. The old lady specifically asked him to come and see us. However, our old man has been dead for many years, so it is not easy to ask."

"I see those people are either rich or noble in clothing, and they are accompanied by servants. They must be from a wealthy family. The fact that they came to see us shows that they are also loyal and righteous."

Luo Zhen nodded.

"Madam, you are right on time. I won't ask you any more questions. Since you are here, I will treat you with good food and wine. We don't have many relatives in our family."

"Go and greet them. I'll prepare the food and drinks."

Luo Jin walked into the lobby of the inn and immediately told Aunt He to buy some wine and food and cut some meat to entertain the guests.

At first, Aunt He thought that the person was here to check out the inn, but she didn't expect that he was actually a relative.

"Madam, what does this relative of yours do? He looks quite wealthy, is he in business?"

She asked calmly, what if it was a relative who came to help look after the shop business, then wouldn't their plan be ruined? !

"I don't know what they do. They are relatives of the master, and I have never met them. They all look like scholars, not businessmen."

"They all look very elegant. I'll go get some wine now, ma'am."

Mrs. He walked out of the door with a smile, feeling relieved. Since he was not here to help run the shop, then he was just visiting casually and not for the inn.

Even so, who knows if there will be any changes. She still has to tell Mr. You about this as soon as possible. She can't let these people ruin their plans.

Yu Suihuan asked Brother Crow to secretly follow Mrs. He while going to the toilet. This woman had shifty eyes and looked abnormal at first glance.

Just as she turned around to go back to the front hall, she saw a little girl with two buns running towards her in a hurry, and the two of them bumped into each other.

"Ouch!"

The little girl ran so fast that she almost fell down.

"Are you okay?"

Yu Suihuan was quick to grab the little girl's arm.

She looked up and saw the strange man's face. She couldn't help but feel a little alert and tried to break free.

"Who are you and why are you in our backyard?"

"Jia'er, don't be rude, this is your uncle."

When the little girl saw her father coming out, she quickly ran over and timidly called out "uncle".

"You're running so fast, but what's the matter?"

"Brother, my brother has woken up. But he is still talking nonsense and his forehead is very hot. Dad, why don't we find another doctor to take a look!"

Luo Jia almost raised this younger brother alone, and when he fell ill, she was more worried than anyone else.

"Xuan Er is on fire again?!"

Luo Zhen's face was full of panic.

"What's wrong, cousin? My cousin is sick. I have studied medicine for several years and know a little about pharmacology. If you trust me, why don't you let me take a look at my cousin?"

"That couldn't be better. I'll trouble you, cousin."

Luo Zhen didn't expect that this cousin who suddenly came to him actually knew medical skills.

In the east wing, a child of seven or eight years old was lying weakly on the bed.

Her skin was fair and white, with sweat on her forehead and a vein in the middle of her nose that was particularly noticeable.

Yu Suihuan walked forward, gently pulled the boy's arm and checked his pulse, then observed his eyes, behind his ears, and his palms.

"Cousin, what's wrong with Xuan'er? He has had a low fever for the past few days, and it keeps coming back. He won't eat or drink. Sometimes he even shouts and screams. Is he possessed by an evil spirit?"

Mrs. Luo Jin couldn't help but tear up when she saw her son's miserable appearance on the bed.

"Don't worry, cousin. The child has a fever because he was frightened. I'll prescribe some calming medicine for him. Go get the medicine and boil it for him to drink. He will feel better by the evening."

"As for the talk of evil spirits, that's all nonsense. Don't believe it. It's just human mischief."

Having said that, Yu Suihuan still used some special techniques to calm Luo Xuan's soul and mind.

After her massage, Luo Xuan's mental state stabilized, he no longer had sweat on his head, and he actually fell asleep with steady breathing.

"Cousin, your medical skills are amazing. You just kneaded and pressed the child's skin, and the child's illness was cured."

Luo Zhen was overjoyed. He was already in his thirties and had only one son, Luo Xuan. If something unexpected happened to him, how would he face the ancestors of the Luo family?

After receiving the prescription, Luo Jin hurried out to get the medicine, hoping that her son would get better quickly after drinking it.

"Cousin, I have something to ask you, you must answer truthfully. My nephew is obviously frightened, what is going on?"

"Alas, my cousin always says that family disgrace should not be made public, but we are relatives, so I will not hide anything from you. When I was doing business in other places, I accidentally saved the life of the dean of Songshan Academy. In order to repay the favor, he sublet this inn to me."

"It goes without saying that this place is a good place to make money. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is a good place to make money. I have run this inn here for several years. Not to mention the daily affluence, I have also earned a lot of money."

"A few months ago, I felt that the inn was a bit old, and many guests who stayed here complained about it. The doors, windows, ladders, and handrails all had some problems. I was afraid of accidents, so I found some craftsmen and prepared to renovate the inn."

"It took the inn more than ten days to finish the renovation. But after the renovation, strange things happened. Every night, there was always something knocking on the door. When I opened the door, there was nothing outside, and sometimes there were dead bats on the ground."

"At first I just thought it was a prank and ignored it, but then something even stranger happened. There was a coughing sound in the yard in the middle of the night, as if it was coming from an old man."

"I have read some sage books for a few years, and I don't believe in ghosts and gods. So I found a few strong men and asked them to stand guard in the yard in the middle of the night to see who was playing tricks!"

"When the time came, the intermittent coughing sound started again. We plucked up our courage and searched the whole yard with lanterns, but we didn't find anyone. However, the coughing sound continued. Several men were scared away. So I never suspected that someone was playing a prank."

“Knocking on the door, coughing, that happens every day, I go out to look for it, but I can’t find anything.

Xuan Er was frightened by a bat when he went to the toilet at night, and has been bedridden ever since. It has been half a month, and his condition has been getting better and worse."

"I've called a doctor, but he's not getting better. Cousin, if you hadn't come here today, I wouldn't know what to do. Xuan'er is my life."

A grown man in Luo Zhen almost cried.

"Is it because of these strange things that you want to sell this inn, cousin?"

"Cousin, how did you know I wanted to leave the inn? I didn't tell anyone."

"Cousin, you didn't have such plans, so why did everyone know about it? I heard it when I was drinking tea in the teahouse in front. They all said that you were in a hurry to sell it, so the inn was half the price than usual."

Yu Suihuan knew that there was something wrong.
