Upon inquiry, it was revealed that the eastern part of the city was inhabited by the nobles and officials of the capital. Apart from the residence of Duke Zhen Guo, Lu Guangmu, most of the surrounding grand mansions belonged to important officials of the court.
The middle-aged man was the steward of the Lu residence, self-proclaimed as Lao Jin.
Following Lao Jin into the Lu residence, they crossed the threshold to enter the garden.
As the sky had darkened, the vibrant flowers in the garden were not clearly visible.
But as Lin Ji walked through the Lu residence with Lao Jin, he realized how narrow his previous perspective had been.
He had thought his mansion in Liang City was quite decent.
However, just the garden of the Lu residence alone was almost as large as his entire mansion in Liang City.
After passing through four or five small courtyards and crossing seven or eight corridors, Lao Jin finally stopped in his tracks.
"Master, Mr. Lin has arrived."
"Let him in." A hoarse yet deep voice resounded.
Lin Ji subconsciously pursed his lips, feeling a bit nervous.
"Mr. Lin," Lao Jin looked at Lin Ji.
