Qu Fulan thought the house would be hard to find, but she received news in the afternoon.
"It's just behind the Pei Mansion, one kilometer to the east. There's a private residence, a two-court house with a yard. The safety in the area around the Pei Mansion is undeniable. Miss Qu might want to go take a look," the person in charge of finding the house came back with the news.
Qu Fulan had never been there, but Hai Xia knew it well and was quite incredulous, "I know the houses over there, they're all private properties of some noble people. The houses are beautiful from the outside, and many outsiders want to buy them, but they don't sell. I've heard they don't rent them out either."
The person explained, "They're renting it out because of the Heir Pei's connections. Without such relationships, one simply can't rent it. After all, Miss Qu is alone, and living in such a place ensures her safety."
Indeed, the benefits of personal connections were apparent.
