Chapter 141
"Prepare the palanquin."
Li Ru uttered between her fragrant lips, tucking away the two pieces of paper Su Ying had left behind into her sleeve. She had a scheduled meeting with the City Lord of Falling Leaves City today that must not be delayed.
The small sedan arrived at the City Lord's mansion. After the announcement, Li Ru was led into the main hall by the mansion's servants.
After about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the City Lord of Falling Leaves City, Fang Boshan, finally walked in from outside.
Fang Boshan was potbellied, and looked more like a merchant than a City Lord.
"Mr. Fang." Li Ru stood up and gave a deep bow.
"Lady Su, please, have a seat. I was delayed a little due to some matters at the mansion. I apologize for keeping you waiting. Speaking of which, Brother Su just passed away, and as his wife, you should be observing mourning at home. Why did you come to me?"
