Bab 126: What a Coincidence

“Lady Zhou, your guests have arrived.”

“Send them in,” said a voice from the inside, easily recognizable by this point.

Further out were various decorations. Beautifully painted columns complimented the lattice work of the ceiling, perfectly manicured miniature bonsai trees located in the corner, and a perfectly polished floor made this room look like something suitable for royalty.
