As soon as Master Guo spoke, Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng understood.
Indeed, the buyer was the owner of the Qin Lou Chu Guan.
If it wasn't for him, Master Guo could have just denied their request without revealing the identity of the buyer. However, now that the truth was out, Master Guo clearly wouldn't sell the estate to them.
Meng Yunzheng stood up and said, "Since that's the case, we won't disturb you any longer. We'll take our leave."
Shu Yu muttered softly, "Why are you in such a hurry? I still wanted to find out more about our future neighbor, as we might have to interact with them in the future."
Meng Yunzheng pushed her towards the exit, saying, "Alright, you'll find out when they move in, won't you? Master Guo doesn't want to say much, so let's not make things difficult for him."
Master Guo apologized with a few smiles and escorted them to the door, where the servant who had brought them up the mountain was waiting to accompany them back down.
As soon as Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu were far enough, the smile on Master Guo's face suddenly disappeared.
He furrowed his brows and called one of his subordinates, whispering, "Go and contact Master Miao. Tell him that I've agreed to his offered price and sold him the estate and the mountain."
The subordinate was taken aback, "But the price he offered was too low. Shouldn't we..."
"It's low, but there's nothing we can do about it. I didn't expect Meng Yunzheng to have his eyes on this estate. I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional, but it's troublesome," Master Guo explained.
The subordinate still seemed puzzled, "Even if we sell to Master Miao, won't Young Master Meng buy it from him?"
"It's not the same. We know why Master Miao wants to buy this estate. By the time he sells it, the estate's reputation will be tarnished. If you were an honest person, would you be willing to buy such a place at a high price?" Master Guo countered.
Moreover, Master Miao was not an easy person to deal with, and he was quite satisfied with this estate.
The subordinate understood and agreed, "I'll go and find Master Miao right away."
Master Guo waved his hand, "Go."
The subordinate left after Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu had been gone for a while.
However, Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu were just a short distance away from the mountain peak, frowning in unison.
Meng Yunzheng said softly, "As soon as I heard the news in the capital, I rushed back here. From the time I saw you until we met Master Guo at the estate, it was only half an hour. It's impossible for the estate to be sold in such a short time."
Shu Yu nodded in agreement, "Besides, the estate was completely empty. If it was sold, Master Guo should be leaving as well. Why would there be two people waiting in the bamboo forest halfway up the mountain, and why did they lead us up here when they heard we wanted to buy the estate?"
"It seems like Mr. Guo recognizes me," Meng Yunzheng narrowed his eyes slightly, finding it not too surprising.
The black market was right next to the sunflower fields, and with the change of ownership at the estate, news would certainly spread to the black market.
However, Meng Yunzheng had always been low-key and rarely appeared in this area. Even in Jiangyuan County, he didn't show up often.
The expression on Master Guo face when he first saw them was quite subtle.
Shu Yu looked at him and said, "So, is he targeting you? He doesn't want to sell the estate to you, but why?"
Meng Yunzheng turned his head to look at the mountain top, shook his head, and said, "Over the years, if there's anyone I might have grievances with, it would be the Gong family. But now that the Gong family has fallen, who else could it be?"
