Su Jiyai smiled beneath her veil, waving her hand gently to quiet the crowd.
"I'm glad that the rooms have brought you comfort. I'm not here to take advantage of anyone. I simply want to make sure that you all have a place to live."
The citizens nodded, murmuring their thanks again.
After a brief pause, Su Jiyai continued,
"However, I know that not everyone was able to secure a room, and there are still many of you without homes. That's why I've come to you with a proposal."
The crowd quieted down, curious about what she was going to say.
"I am willing to buy houses from anyone who is willing to sell," Su Jiyai explained, her tone steady.
"And I will pay double the current market price for them."
The room fell silent as everyone absorbed her words.
"Double the market price?" one man finally muttered, clearly tempted.
"Yes," Su Jiyai nodded.
