"Grandpa, weren't you going to sell this house anyway? It's much better to sell it to the Yao family now. They're so rich. "
Mu Yaoyao gave Chief Yao a hint as she spoke.
Chief Yao smiled. "Grand Secretary Fang, I heard that you're selling this house for 100,000 silver coins? We'll pay you a million silver coins for it. What do you think? Also, the ten-thousand-year-old lingzhi mushroom and blood ginseng are yours. "
Ten times?!
The Yao family was offering ten times the price right off the bat?!
How could anyone buy a house like that? They were throwing money at it!
Feng Wu was alarmed.
Could it be that the Yao family had found out about the treasure hidden under the house? Otherwise, why would they offer such a high price? If things were abnormal, it would be a demon.
Grand Secretary Fang had the same thought as Feng Wu.
He gestured at the empty seat in front of him.
Flattered, Chief Yao only dared to sit down after a few more rounds of refusal.
"Why?" Grand Secretary Fang didn't say yes or no right away. Instead, he stared at Chief Yao with a penetrating look in his eyes, which had been through many ups and downs in his career.
Chief Yao said, "Grand Secretary Fang, this house of yours has excellent feng shui. There's a lake in front and a mountain in the distance. As far as feng shui goes, it's a very auspicious place."
"That's all?"
"Grand Secretary Fang, to tell you the truth —" Chief Yao smiled bitterly. "Most of the Yao family are businessmen, and we've made some money over the years. However, the children in our family aren't very bright. Very few of us are able to get into Imperial College, and we don't have a bright future ahead of us. That's why I'm thinking of buying this manor. Maybe you can help the children out."
"That's all?" Grand Secretary Fang repeated, but the look in his eyes grew sharper.
In front of Feng Wu, Grand Secretary Fang might be an amiable, haughty, and adorable old man, but in front of Chief Yao, he was back to his usual self.
Grand Secretary Fang was the equivalent of a prime minister, and the head of all the officials. He was no ordinary person. How cunning and astute did he have to be to be able to keep all the officials in check? Moreover, he could still step down from his position in peace?
He had accumulated his prestige for many years in the officialdom. Now that he had released a little of it, it would be more than enough to make Lord Yao suffer.
Under Grand Secretary Fang's sharp and intelligent gaze, Chief Yao felt suffocated.
His heart tightened …
Grand Secretary Fang might have retired, but the old man's influence was still unstoppable.
Clan Leader Yao did not dare to lie to him. "… I accidentally heard that there is a huge secret hidden in the Fang Residence. After so many years, the Fang Family has not been able to solve it, so …"
Grand Secretary Fang turned his cold gaze on Mu Yaoyao!
Mu Yaoyao's mother, Lady Mu, had grown up in the Fang family, so she knew about it.
"Your mother said that?"
"Grandfather, Mother … did tell me about this, but … haven't you never been able to solve this secret? If we delay any longer, misfortune will befall the Fang Clan. Grandfather, just sell it to the Yao Clan! "
"How much did the Yao family pay you?" Grand Secretary Fang asked unhurriedly in a cold voice.
"Grandpa, I … won't get anything out of it …" Mu Yaoyao continued to play innocent.
Grand Secretary Fang smirked.
As the saying went, no one did anything out of it. Given Mu Yaoyao's personality, she would never help anyone if she didn't get anything out of it. Grand Secretary Fang waved his hand. "See our guest out."
