In the time it had taken the waiter to rush from Qingyuan Tavern to Ji Manor, the chief of the Zhengyuan Bodyguard Agency, Feng Yuntian, paid a visit to the Zhu Manor.
Ji Manor was the wealthiest household in Shengjing City. The second was the Zhu family, where the Second Mistress of the Ji family originally hailed.
Upon entering their front door, Feng Yuntian was led by a servant to the reception pavilion in the front yard. The servant then hurried off to notify his master of the guest's presence.
Although the Zhus were not as wealthy as the Jis, their wealth was still significant enough to rival a state. The reception pavilion was filled with furniture of Nanmu wood inlaid with gold, screens of jade, incense burners of pure gold with peony carvings, valuable paintings, and palace lanterns. The place exuded luxury.
