The manor occupied an area of seven or eight mu in the affluent part of Pingxi City. There were many courtyards inside the manor. It was a serene place filled with many trees, flowers and other plants. Only the servants, guards, and stewards stayed here usually. Even the most of neighbors didn't know this manor belonged to the renowned Zhong Clan of Lan Province. Coincidentally, this manor was only half a street away from the manor where Yan Liqiang discovered Ye Xiao's incident before.

The head steward led Zhong Hongzhang and Zhong Ruolan directly into the drawing room, where they washed their faces and hands. After serving up some tea, he stood solemnly at the side. Zhong Hongzhang and Zhong Ruolan sat down in the seats on either side of the clan head's seat in the drawing room.
