It Would Harm Her Health

After a few months of repair work, the rundown Xuyang Mansion finally looked somewhat up to par. Even though it could not be compared to any aristocrat's mansion in the imperial capital, it looked much better than when they had arrived last year.

At the very least, the mansion stood sturdily against the wind and did not leak during the winter. Nevertheless, the house was very chilly during the cold season.

From the outside, the side courtyard in front of her looked even more downtrodden when compared to the other courtyards, but its interior was a completely different story.

This was the only place within the Xuyang Mansion that the Liege had forbidden anyone from entering.

If her cat had not wandered there by accident and she had gone looking for it, she would never have known the secret the place was hiding.
