Lady Rose pinched her chin and said calmly, "If it weren't for your good work in other towns, I would have used you to grow roses long ago."
"Yes, yes, as you say,"
The skinny man trembled uncontrollably, "Thank you for your mercy!"
"Since you can't get into Black Pine Ridge, don't bother with it for now."
Lady Rose pondered and commanded, "Focus on the lords in the west first."
"No problem, madam!"
The skinny man breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly remembering something, and asked, "By the way, madam, what should we do with Ivan's family… bring them to you to grow roses?"
"Forget it, just sell them."
Lady Rose added, "Sell them to the south."
"Yes, madam."
The skinny man responded, bowed, and slowly withdrew.
"Luo De…"
Lady Rose murmured softly, the smile on her lips growing colder,
"Little guy, what secret are you hiding?"
Looking at the flickering lamp on the table, Lady Rose sighed slightly,
"It seems I'll have to spend some Gold Coins to figure all this out."
