Xue Ling knocked on the shiny bronze door knocker. A small opening above the door unlocked and a middle-aged man popped his head out. "Two misses, who are you looking for?"

"Young Madame?" the middle-aged man said, "May I know why two misses are looking for Young Madame?"

"We are her sisters. Please report it to her." Xue Ling took out a visiting card from the sleeve of her gown and handed it over.

Xue Ling studied the door and said, "This Field Officer Zhao's family seems very rich."
