Marquis Zhaoren was stunned. His eyes widened in surprise and his brows furrowed in disbelief.
Even Yan Nanchen was baffled by his reaction.
"Oh, Prince Duan, you've bought a house here in Su State Sub-prefecture?" Marquis Zhaoren enquired, an evident trace of envy in his eyes.
"Uh?" Yan Nanchen was momentarily taken aback, not anticipating this question from Marquis Zhaoren. It was indeed more than he had bargained for.
He responded, "I've purchased the property here in the past. If it piques your curiosity, Marquis, perhaps you'd like to inspect it for yourself?"
