Chapter 579: Chapter 579: The Third Force

"Fifty taels?" Xiao Chan was the first to widen her eyes.

Although the prices outside were high, fifty taels still seemed rather outrageous.

Wouldn’t buying an ordinary residence cost just one hundred taels?

"Fifty taels for a separate courtyard with at least ten rooms, enough for you all! Plus, that courtyard connects with this place here, so once it’s fixed up, it’ll be convenient to move back anytime, right?"

Lady Lin still urged kindly.

If these kids were really from the Bai Yang Clan, they’d belong to The First Shi Clan in the world. Though down on their luck, fifty taels would still be trivial for them, right?

Look at them, each dressed brightly, especially this little girl, looking like a princess in fine silk fabrics. Saying they were out of money, she wouldn’t believe that.

Who knew Bai Junjun would actually shake her head and say, "We’re fine staying here."

"?" Lady Lin widened her eyes.

"You... must be joking?"

Bai Junjun just smiled without saying a word.

She said they would stay at the Bai Residence, and they really stayed at the Bai Residence.

She only cleaned up the relatively clean reception hall to temporarily store their luggage.

Lady Lin, disbelieving, stood on the wall watching them move and carry things around.

These people were clearly using the tactic of pretending to give in to bargain, weren’t they?

Just waiting for her to pull them back to renegotiate the price, right?

Lady Lin stubbornly remained unmoved, just watching their performance.

However, Bai Junjun completely ignored her.

Watching Bai Sasa skillfully look for branches to sweep the ground, Xiao Chan and the others quickly cleared the fallen furniture in the living room.

Lady Lin, impressed, nodded, "I’ve never seen nobles as stingy as this. The living room is in such a state, and you can still live in it, will you take forty-five taels?"

Bai Junjun looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile. Lady Lin, at most in her late twenties, didn’t seem old in Bai Junjun’s eyes, just experienced in her speech.

But this level of cunning might work on ancient people, it wasn’t effective against her.

Bai Junjun, arms crossed, watched Lady Lin: "With the outside world in such chaos, it’s common to sleep in the depths of the forest among graves. Now, it’s merely a dilapidated house, which to us is already much better. So, thanks for your concern, Lady Lin."

"..." Lady Lin had nothing to say.

It seemed these kids were quite cunning too, not someone she could deceive easily. Lady Lin sullenly shut her mouth and climbed down the ladder to quietly cook for Little Radish Head inside the house.

Once Lady Lin left, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli then roamed around the estate.

After all, sleeping on the floor in the living room was only the worst-case scenario. With so many courtyards in the Bai Residence, not every one of them could be too bad.

The two of them definitely needed to pick out one of the courtyards to live in.

"Speaking of which, Lady Lin reminded me, what do you think of selling this plot of land before we leave?"

Bai Junjun, strolling around the large courtyard, asked quite seriously.

"Do you have the deed?" Li Wenli laughed.

"..." Bai Junjun was taken aback. The deed had been stolen long ago, and she had no idea whose hands it was in now.

"Without the deed, how can a sale be discussed? And with rumors of ghosts haunting this courtyard for so many years, I fear no one would really dare to buy it, unless the Emperor were to grant it as a reward to a court official."

At his words, Bai Junjun’s eyes lit up: "That makes sense. I need to find a way to sell this house to Yuwen Luanfei."

"..." Li Wenli.

"Speaking of which, I heard some news from Yuwen Luanfei."

"What?"

Bai Junjun relayed what Eunuch Zou had told her to Li Wenli.

Li Wenli seemed thoughtful. "There must be a trap in there somewhere."

Bai Junjun felt the rationale deeply. If Shopkeeper Yan hadn’t lied, then it must be Eunuch Zou who was lying.
