「The next morning.」
Lu Yuan walked up to the Spirit Stone Furnace and touched it.
Huh?
'The Spirit Stones, worth at least fifty or sixty taels of silver, were all used up in one night?'
'It can't even burn for a full day?!'
'The furnace went cold in just one night?'
'Huh?'
While Lu Yuan was still reeling in confusion, two Maids entered carrying a large bamboo basket.
Inside was another basket of fresh Spirit Stones.
Lu Yuan looked at the two Maids, blinked, and asked,
"What's this?"
The two Maids replied respectfully,
"The mistress has given orders. As long as the Young Nephew Master is in his room, we are to replenish the Spirit Stones whenever they run out. We cannot let the Young Nephew Master feel cold."
Lu Yuan said nothing.
'This...'
'This is too extravagant.'
'At this rate, how much would heating alone cost for a single day?'
Of course, Aunt Zhao was rich.
Previously, two of the three major Guilds in Taiping City belonged to Aunt Zhao.
