The governor's mansion of Ningzhuo
Steward Meng received a surprise visit from Deputy Sun's right-hand man, four Hours before Lu Yaozhu was brought back. After decades of following a similar schedule, one would inevitably become a creature of habit. Human beings although flexible would easily fall to similar patterns.
Steward Meng was no different, he woke up at dawn and after washing up and changing into his dark brown high necked uniform resumed his morning rounds. He went about the residence, going from place to place and conversing with the servants in charge. He approved the necessary funds for each department.
As he walked by the main courtyard, he was surprised to see the governors personal attendants standing around. The governor had spent the night with the madam yesterday and following common practice, he came over with his personal attendants.
