章 57: why do I keep meeting scumbags

Minister Zhu's mansion, an hour earlier, during the family dinner.

The servants informed Madam Zhu when dinner was set, after ensuring that everything was set the whole family moved to the outdoor dining room for dinner. The outdoor dining room was set in the middle of the garden, in a roofed wooden pavilion.

A long line of white beautiful paper candle lamps lined the pathway leading to the dining room, which lighted up the garden. The candlelight, the flowers and small ponds made the view magical. Su Liya felt like she had stepped into fairyland, madam Zhu really outdid herself.

Beautiful flora scents rose as the wind blew which gave a calming effect. Five smartly dressed maids stood in a straight line by the side. They stood a few steps away from the long rectangular table. A large family dinner was spread out on the table.
