She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Jiang Yifan was not worried about the matter of the rail transport proposal, as the courtyard had been abuzz with conversation earlier, and the two petty clerks must have known that the visitor was the Prefect of Yuyuan Prefecture. If Jinrong’s subordinates couldn’t handle even this much, then what were those who followed him good for, waiting for death?

Therefore, as Ye Xinyan’s gaze flitted towards him, he smiled and said to Qi Younian, "It’s just a courtyard, after all. Even if it’s the courtyard of Sixth Master Rong’s Mansion, it’s merely a bit more innovative and intricate in design. There shouldn’t be anything that can’t be seen, right?"

Does that mean it’s no problem to take a look? Qi Younian felt relieved at once and, smiling, said to Zhou Bingyi, "Lord Jiang is right, it’s just a more novel style. If you’re interested, Sir, we can go over and have a look right now."

It was still the same room that Jinrong had visited last time, but it now contained additional furnishings. There were two more bookshelves, two cabinets, and the usual small tables and chairs for daily rest.

Additionally, there were two more desks for work, and the four large tables indeed made the drawing room seem much fuller.

At that moment, in the spacious drawing room with the four tables, two were unoccupied, only some sorted documents and papers on them, no one working. Behind the other two tables, two people were engrossed in writing.

The two papers that had been pasted on the wall were gone, replaced by two rough sketches of the courtyard construction. The lines and dimensions were clearly marked, seemingly describing the positions and layout of the pavilions and towers in the courtyard.

Qi Younian led the way, pushed open the door, and allowed Zhou Bingyi and Jiang Yifan to enter before following them in.
