Inside the bookstore.
The young clerks were lazily leaning against the counter, staring blankly with a listless expression.
They heard footsteps approaching.
A sudden jolt brought them to alertness.
Not a single customer had visited all morning, leaving them sleepy and dazed.
The young clerk put on a smile and stepped up to greet, but as he reached the door, his smile froze.
A wave of deep disappointment hit him.
Why was it the Eldest Young Master and Eldest Young Madam?
He rearranged his facial expression and stepped forward to greet them.
Before he could speak, he was given an order.
"Lead the way to the backyard," Xie Jingchen said.
"..."
The servant led the way in front.
Su Jin and Xie Jingchen followed behind.
As they reached the backyard, Xingxing's cheerful voice came from behind.
"Miss, the inn next door has lowered the price again, now it's at forty thousand taels!"
"..."
"The price has really dropped fast," said the Hidden Guard.
"..."
