Chen Qing nodded and said in a low voice, "I appreciate all your efforts."
'He had to admit, Wu Manqing was an exceptionally clever woman. She handled things flawlessly, leaving no room for criticism.'
Seeing Chen Qing's reaction, Wu Manqing knew he had taken note of her goodwill. The smile on her face became a bit more genuine. "Brother Chen, there's no need to be so polite. It was my pleasure. It's getting late. We should be on our way."
The two then set off, leaving the teahouse for the Zheng Family's estate.
The Zheng Family's mansion was located in the very heart of the Prefecture City.
The towering vermilion gates stood over thirty feet high, with a massive, gold-gilded plaque hanging above the lintel.
In the white jade plaza before the gates, a constant stream of magnificent carriages came and went. They were pulled by extraordinary, spirited steeds, and occasionally, even Exotic Beasts.
