Chapter 745

Outside Nangong, in the huge garden in the front yard of the Situ residence.

A small stone path paved with fine bluestone led to the octagonal stone pavilion deep in the garden.

The stone pavilion was surrounded by rugged mountain rocks covered with green plants and emerald moss.

Ingenious artificial mountains stood on an isolated island in a fish pond covering several acres nearby.

The water surface in the pond was clear, rippling under the sunlight.

The octagonal stone pavilion stood quietly by the pond, shaded by towering trees and green plants, surrounded by flower beds full of buds.

The pavilion was covered with light gauze, blocking out the bees and butterflies flying past.

Four maids stood around the pavilion with lowered eyes.

A table was placed in the pavilion.

Outside the pavilion, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded.
