With the Jade Chamber destroyed, Ningguang was currently living in a property on Yujing Terrace. A rich woman was a rich woman indeed: she owned properties everywhere. Even without the Jade Chamber, she still had a Chinese-style villa on Yujing Terrace.
However, after growing accustomed to the Jade Chamber, Ningguang found this luxurious villa somewhat lacking. Something about it never felt quite right, and her desire to rebuild the Jade Chamber grew stronger.

If she announced now that she needed to rebuild the Jade Chamber, Ningguang could guarantee that prices and labor costs in the construction market would rise by several tenths tomorrow, or even double.
Although the expense of rebuilding a Jade Chamber was hardly anything to Ningguang now, her philosophy was never to play the sucker. If she could earn one more Mora, she would.
