Lu Yiling's courtyard
Lu Yiling sat behind a reading table, head bent over a spread out white sheet. In a line in front of her were different colours of paints and paintbrushes. She held a slim paintbrush over the sheet, silently taking in the scene before her.
Lu Yiling had instructed her maids to move that table and her painting tools next to the wide window overlooking the backyard. The backyard had very good scenery, with long green bamboo trees lined with brightly coloured flowers.
Lu Yiling loved to look out and sketch her favourite scenery whenever she needed to calm her mind. She hadn't done that since she returned to the capital but thanks to a certain greedy maid, she was driven to do this.
After Zhu Fenfang had informed her of Su Liya's bad reputation, she sent out her most trusted aide Zhiliu to find investigate. Zhiliu returned about an hour and a half later, she informed her that Zhu Fenfang was right.
