Entering mid-April, the climate of the Imperial City was now warm and blossoming—harsh winter gone, all things awakening.
Many elite families in Tea Mountain Manor were preparing to move back to the city.
The Xu Family on the western side of the manor was no exception.
The Xu Family were not natives of the Imperial City; their business was in the Jingxi Territory. They'd come hoping to soak up some "noble air" at Tea Mountain Manor. Now that spring had come and the nobles were getting ready to return to the city, the Xu Family would also set off back to Jingxi.
But on this day, the Xu Family received an invitation, and on the cover it said: Respectfully presented by Bai Changqing.
Who was Bai Changqing? There wasn't a single resident of Tea Mountain Manor who didn't know him; the Xu Family had long been clear he was a high-ranking official in the Temple Hall, now Minister of Revenue—one of the Jingjiu Dynasty's uppermost figures, a true boss among men.
