The Mu Family people, upon hearing this, were filled with excitement. Without needing Grandmaster Mu to come out herself, they rushed into her room and lifted her out.
The Mu Family's great-great-grandson quickly came to assist: "Grandfather, please hurry."
It was as if they feared Grandmaster Mu would be too slow and the five thousand taels would slip away.
Daqing looked at them, intending to tell them not to bother, as today they were here to invite Ancestor Mu.
Yet Grandmaster Mu steadied herself and said, "Little maid, go back and tell your master the price of the house has increased; it now requires eight thousand taels."
Daqing sneered, "Grandmaster Mu, your old house sways in strong winds, asking five thousand taels is already unreasonable, and now you want eight thousand taels as if treating us like fools."
