Seeing the maid getting closer and closer, Qiuju gently pushed Gao Mu: "Go back to your room quickly, I'll get you a bowl of pig's feet noodles."
A short while later, Lan'er saw the broker out of the mansion.
As the broker reached the gate, he turned back to Lan'er, still unwilling to give up, and said, "Miss, you could try to persuade your young lady. Although the shops on the back street are a bit out of the way, the prices are really reasonable."
