Jile Hall.
Nie Yihan sat motionlessly in the room.
Suddenly, the voices of the maids, filled with respect, came from outside the door.
"Sister Mei!"
"We have seen Sister Mei!"
Then a woman's voice said, "Hmm, is your mistress here?"
"The mistress is in the room!"
As they spoke, the door was pushed open, and a woman, nearly forty and plump in figure, gracefully walked in.
Nie Yihan, who had been in a daze, hurriedly stood up as soon as she saw the woman.
"Sister!"
The woman's face was calm as water, she nodded and said, "Sit!"
Nie Yihan was slightly startled, then bowed her head and silently sat down.
The woman who could be called 'sister' by the star courtesan of Jile Hall was none other than the hall's Store Manager and the influential figure behind it, Mei Xia.
However, this Mei Xia did not often come to Jile Hall, so she was lesser-known to outsiders.
But those who knew the insider story were aware of how formidable this woman was.
