The intermediary returned, and as soon as he came in looking for Madam Liang, he overheard two voices speaking from beside the guesthouse.
"...Why did you persuade Third Aunt to buy the other courtyard? I think this one is pretty good, and Third Aunt likes it too." It was Ying Xi speaking.
Shu Yu chuckled, "Naturally, because it benefits me. As long as the price here stays firm and won't budge, I'll make Third Aunt buy the courtyard I recommended. Once that courtyard is sold, I get a cut of the money. When the intermediary comes back later, help me keep the fire stoked for Third Aunt."
"Alright."
The intermediary raised his eyebrows at the conversation, quickly quieted his footsteps, and hurried inside to find Madam Liang.
As soon as he left, Ying Xi asked, "Miss, the intermediary is gone now. Do you think saying this stuff here will really work?"
"Hmm. Let's just wait for the good news."
