Compared to Li Chang, Wang Hong, though also a county magistrate in the same city, had a residence that was much simpler. If not for the plaque clearly inscribed with "County Magistrate's Mansion," Lin Yuan would have doubted that Lin Yi had found the right place!
"Young man, I am a friend of your master's son-in-law, may I inquire if he's within the mansion?" Lin Yuan stepped forward personally and asked the young servant guarding the door.
Seeing Lin Yuan's charming and polite smile, the servant also showed her some good grace, "You are a friend of my master's son-in-law? I'd advise you, Miss, to leave quickly!"
Lin Yuan was puzzled, "Why is that?"
The young servant cautiously looked around and lowered his voice, "Our Miss, ah, she hates it when someone comes looking for the young master, especially women, and even more so for a beautiful woman like you. If our Miss sees you, you will surely suffer some hardship."
