Duke Shenxiu's residence, the Bamboo courtyard.
Just as Liqiu predicted in just a few days, the gossip of her being a fox had already spread throughout the capital. Lv Ming did not share any effort to blacken her name.
Although there were a few doubts about the credibility of the rumours when they first began it all changed as soon as it became known that she previously worked at a brothel.
The rise in the negative public perception of Liqiu made Lv Ming feel a lot better. She had stationed a few maids at Liqiu's quarters to report all her activities.
The next few days in the residence were peaceful, Nie Shaoqing did not visit Liqiu's residence. Madam Wang visited Lv Ming's residence to pay respect every morning as usual.
She was on her way back to her residence when she came upon Manlin and Siqin plucking apples and oranges in the garden. This was the first time she was running into one of Liqiu's maids.
