Burning Treasure

The inn that Xue Ji rented was quite far from the Zhao Family's residence. They spent two hours on the journey before finally reaching their destination.

 The Zhao Family Residence was in a densely populated area. Around it was many other residences as large as the Zhao Family's residence. There were several men standing guard in front of the gate while drowsy.

 Xue Ji stopped her horse quite a distance from the gates of the Zhao residence. She looked around with the corners of her eyebrows raised. She looked a little curious.

 "Does the Zhao Family have a lot of influence in this city?" Xue Ji asked.

 Yu Fengming shook his head slowly. When compared to the Zhao Family, the Yu Family was still much better off. Yu Fengming's father was a rich merchant. His wealth far exceeds that of the Zhao Family.
