章 262: Chapter 262 Evidence_1

Zhulan looked at the return gifts Zhou Shuren's second son brought into the house. The basket contained mutton, all processed and nearly a full basket – almost a whole sheep, bones and all – plus other nourishing foods like red dates.

There was quite a feast, and in addition to that, there were two boxes. Opening them, one found a set of ornaments and a scroll of calligraphy and painting. Wrapped in a large cloth were two cloaks. Zhulan had frequented furrier shops enough to recognize at a glance that they were made of fox fur. In Lady Zhao's hands was also a small casket.
