Qi Xiuwei quietly glanced at Shen Ningning, who quickly waved her hands.
"I didn't invite him."
Lu Shaoyuan smiled. "I did."
Shen Ningning's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at him. "Why did you invite Lord Pei?"
"This house is his. I heard he was interested in selling it, so I came to inquire."
Both Shen Ningning and Qi Xiuwei were a little surprised.
Pei Yin stepped forward. After greeting Shen Ningning, he said, "This estate was a special reward from the Emperor five years ago for my meritorious service in protecting him."
Shen Ningning understood and couldn't help but ask, "Since it was a gift from the Emperor, why is Lord Pei selling it?"
Pei Yin's expression was calm. "The estate is too large, and I am not used to living alone. I usually reside in the palace anyway, so I have already petitioned the court and received permission to sell it."
As he spoke, he made an inviting gesture. The estate agent beside Pei Yin immediately spoke up.
