Chapter 6
“Would the Fifth Madam happen to be available? Our Madam wishes to invite you to visit the Qin residence,” Cai Die, the personal maid of the Eldest Lady of the Qin family, said respectfully, curtsying before Chen Suya.
“Since it is an invitation from Madam Qin, how could I decline? My son and I will come right away,” Chen Suya responded.
“Then please, Fifth Madam and Young Master Ming, follow me,” Cai Die said with a slight smile.
“Thank you for leading the way.”
Holding her son Xu Ming, Chen Suya followed Cai Die out of the Xu residence.
From the safety of his mother’s embrace, Xu Ming observed the passing scenery.
This was his first time leaving the inner courtyard.
It was undeniable—being the residence of a duke, the Xu estate was enormous. It took a full quarter of an hour just to walk from the rear courtyard to the front.
Rock gardens and ornamental stones were artfully arranged, pavilions dotted the paths, and long corridors connected various buildings. The murals along the corridors were lifelike, clearly the work of a master artist.
