At the Xue Mansion…
Everyone was busy preparing for the party that Master Xue was throwing later that night. It was a huge surprise to the households – and to the invited guests alike – because Master Xue was not fond of hosting parties in his own private estate, what with all the demise that his family went through in the past.
Of course, the public did not need to know those tragedies in close detail, but him hosting a party was already an odd behavior.
Nevertheless, the household and those who were invited were piqued and quite excited to do their best and be there to witness a rare event happen before their very eyes.
