章 1228: New Owner

"We have faith in you, Uncle Qing! Your trust means the world to us!"

"Yes, I share that belief! We're committed to putting in our best efforts!"

"Please, I implore you not to cast me aside; without this place, I'll have nowhere to go!"

"I hope Madame Shao possesses the same compassion as Madame Zheng…"

"But will Uncle Qing still have control over the mulberry garden? Can his assurances be trusted?"

"Agreed!"

"Yes, I share those concerns!"

"…"

Their conversations continued, with growing unease among them. Placing their trust in a young madam they had never met before was a daunting prospect.

Some discreetly slipped away from the gathering, quickly departing.

Uncle Qing raised his voice after saying what he needed to. "Everyone, please be quiet! Madame Shao has something important to convey, please be quiet!"

She was their new proprietor!

Almost instantly, a hush fell over the entire courtyard.
