“Mrs. Jiang is very generous. If the estate hasn’t been sold in three days and you still want to buy it, I will definitely help you negotiate and give you the lowest price.”
Meng Yaxing was surprised that Mrs. Jiang was so straightforward and decisive.
"We'll have to trouble Meng Yaxing then."
After finishing their business, Mu Yi'an raised his glass to see the guests off, and Fang's wife escorted Meng Ya out, then picked up Wei Fu on the way.
"Madam, what are your orders?"
Wei Fu was a little uneasy, unsure why his wife wanted to see him. To be honest, he hadn't fully recovered from the incident of the previous head of the family's property being confiscated.
At that time, I was really worried that my family would be sold off separately.
Mu Yi'an recounted the details of the estate that Meng Yaxing had described, and asked, "Are you familiar with this estate?"
“Madam, I know the estate well. I go there every year to check on the planting and harvest. The land here is fertile, and the grain yield is quite high. The previous head of the family also valued it highly.”
Because it was relatively close to the prefectural city, the ladies of the household often stayed at the estate for short periods. Therefore, the courtyards on the estate were very well-maintained and spacious.
Wei Fu never expected that there would be such rumors about that manor.
"Here's what I'm going to do tomorrow. Go and find out what Meng Yaxing was talking about. If you can, go to the estate and ask if anything else bad has happened recently."
"I understand, madam. Don't worry, I will definitely inquire carefully. I know a few of the tenant farmers on the estate, so I can ask them."
Wei Fu now only hopes that everything goes well for the current head of the family, so that they, the servants, can also get a good night's sleep.
"Alright, you can go now. If you need anything, just tell Butler Li."
Wei Fu took the mission and left, while Mu Yi'an began to ponder the estate.
She didn't care about nonsense like being cursed or having bad luck.
What she cared about was whether the estate was clean and whether there were any shady dealings.
Afterwards, Mu Yi'an instructed Steward Li to investigate the affairs of the estate and to learn as much as possible, since 20,000 taels was no small sum.
The matter has been explained, and now we're just waiting for the investigation results. Whether we can actually buy it depends on fate.
