Couple?
While Bai Zemin and Wu Yijun were talking about important matters regarding the big mobilization of the base that would be taking place tomorrow, two maidens led by Qin Ming herself arrived in the living room and soundlessly arranged different dishes with sweet cakes, savory desserts, cookies, miniature pancakes, etc. After pouring three cups of tea, the women simply stepped aside and stood silently like statues waiting for any kind of order to be carried out as quickly as possible.
Instead of always getting new maids, Bai Zemin kept those women who worked for him from the beginning and when his villa changed he simply resettled them with him. However, it was not as if Bai Zemin wanted to have countless villas throughout China; in the early stages of forming a faction it was best to keep each part of his power together rather than split into different camps.
