章節 74: offense is the best defense 5

The Duke's mansion 

Su Liya let out a breath of relief when Madam Lu was called out by a servant. She wanted to kiss that steward for putting her out of her misery. Madam Lu was talented at scolding, she somehow made you feel like crying and sleeping at the same time. 

Madam Lu's words were hurtful and went on forever that, once you got over the pain the prolonged talk made one exhausted. When she was dismissed with a much appreciated "leave me", Su Liya happily returned to her rooms. Thanks to the ever-helpful mother of hers, she was forced to receive a rather hurtful redress from Madam Lu.

Her room was located in the smaller Courtyard of Mingxi pavilion, which was Lu Yaozhu's Courtyard. Lu Yaozhu stayed in the bigger pavilion that comprised of five rooms, a living room, a study, a bedroom, a small kitchen and a dining room. While her pavilion contained four rooms, her bedroom, her living room, her dining room and a nursery.
