A start of something beautiful 2

En route to the Dukes mansion 

It had gotten late at night and most of the guests were too tired to stay back, Su Liya included. Since the Emperor and Empress had retired, the guests began to leave one after the other. Su Liya glanced around the room and noticed the gradually increasing empty seats. Most of the guests present comprised of young masters all of who were students at the Imperial College.

She had made that inference, when she saw how friendly they were with Lu Yong, with the imperial right around the corner. It is no surprise that they would leave as early as possible. The Lu family couldn't leave early, even if they wanted because of the crowd formed around their tables. Her eyes felt heavy as she stifled a yawn, she looked around and sat back.
