Wen Mansion.

…

Wen Chuji was the first female scholar in the capital. Her grandmother was the deputy minister of the Ministry of Revenue. In addition to the fact that she was friendly and attractive, she had held great prestige in Capital City ever since childhood. Growing up as an upper-class girl, she had shown outstanding talent. It was said that the little empress had plans to get Wen Chuji to join the Ministry of Rites in a few years, starting her off as an agent.

Therefore, Wen Chuji had been very popular in Capital City for many years. No one had dared to push her to get married when she came of age—they only dared ask which young master she was interested in.

Of course, Wen Chuji had heard about the Lu family matter. Hence, when noon came, she summoned a posse of ladies from the capital circle to the back garden of her residence. They sat in the tea pavilion and ordered refreshments alongside cakes and fruit.
