A little Sugar

The Duke's mansion.

Lu Yaozhu's Pavillion was a lot wider than hers and unlike her pavilion, the rooms were separated by curtains. The lack of doors separating each room made each room brighter and more spacious. The only room separated by a wall and door was the study which was at the side of the Pavillion. Lu Yaozhu's study had two separate doors, one used guests and servants that led outside by a wide door.

That door faced the wide courtyard outside, while the second door which was used mainly by Lu Yaozhu, family members and his closest guards led from a small hallway from the main room. When she didn't find him in the main room and bedroom, she went through the hallway and stopped by the screen door. She raised one hand signalling for Baozhai and Rong Rong to wait outside.
