Xu Lei was a bit surprised. "So, you've come to find me. What is it you wish for me to do?"
A little over an hour later.
Xu Lei arrived at the Wei Mansion.
Of course, he didn't arrive at night.
He came during the day.
'After all, it's not like I'm here to take the groom's place.'
Xu Lei figured there was no need to be sneaky.
It was perfectly normal for a monk like him to visit a mansion to ask for alms, perform a ritual, or offer a blessing.
After entering the Wei Mansion,
he hadn't yet seen Wei Qingning or Zhang Xiaomai.
Instead, he saw a young woman in a simple dress with delicate features, brewing medicinal herbs.
Her hair fell to her waist.
A simple cloth sash was wrapped around her waist, accentuating its slenderness.
She seemed rather slender, yet the curves of her chest were captivating.
The heat from the stove she was near had caused a light sheen of sweat to form on her fair brow, the beads glistening like tiny stars.
