Before long, the carriage stopped in front of the Yin Mansion.
Since they had sent a calling card in advance, a maid was already waiting at the gate; seeing that it was the Lady of the County, she quickly welcomed them inside.
The Yin Mansion was understated in every aspect, yet within its restraint flowed a sense of opulence, far surpassing the delicacy of the Government Office's backyard.
Chen Yiling and Qiao Duo'er exchanged glances, both silently cursing, "Corrupt officials."
After waiting in the parlor for a while, Yin Yinyue gracefully made her way over.
She was over thirty, but well-maintained, and looked more like a woman in her early twenties.
The only drawback was her narrow eyes, which, despite their astuteness, made her seem somewhat sharp and petty.
She was clearly a formidable character.
"Lady of the County," Yin Yinyue said perfunctorily as she performed a curtsey, "may I know what brings you to my humble home?"
