Unknowingly, she found herself on River Square Street, the liveliest street in Hangzhou, where talented men and beautiful women gathered. Here, the most stunning courtesans from south of the river often passed by in their palanquins.
She used to see Hangzhou as a bustling and prosperous city with lots of delicious food. However, now she felt there was something different about it.

"What? The Chen family called off the marriage with the Zhu family?"

"They look down on even the Zhu family? Does the Chen family think they can reach the sky just because they have a Regent King's Consort?"
Xuemei looked over when she heard the voices, but the bustling streets obscured the speakers' faces.
But those words just now made her angry!
Just as she was about to leave, a man's exclamation caught her attention.
She followed the sound and saw several men sitting and chatting at a tea stall.
