As Song Lili entered the Zhong home, she was once awed by the opulence. She had studied a little bit of art appreciation, and she could see that the house was filled with extravagant paintings, calligraphy pieces and priceless artefacts.
Her hand clenched in determination as she was shown into the sunroom by the butler. She could not give up everything she had always known to be hers.
"Would you like some tea or water?" The butler asked.
Song Lili frowned. She had never been asked this question before. She was simply served with a range of goodies whenever she visited Madam Zhong. It seemed that her attitude had really changed.
"Some hot water is fine, thank you." She smiled.
The butler nodded before stepping out of the room. Instead of heading to the kitchen, he went to the garden where Madam Zhong was to inform her of the arrival of the visitor.
"Auntie, we should plant some medicinal herbs next." The voice reached the butler as he came into the garden.
