Chapter 68 - 68 66 Ruo Zhou Was Noticed
?Chapter 68: Chapter 66 Ruo Zhou Was Noticed Chapter 68: Chapter 66 Ruo Zhou Was Noticed Although Madame Zhou was “revered as” the wife of a Chiliarch, she couldn’t always afford to dine at Tianxiang Tower.
Zhang Feng came from a humble background, and it was only after marrying Madame Zhou that he was promoted from a Centurion to a Chiliarch, hence he had no family fortune to speak of.
How much could the military pay of a Chiliarch be? She loved to dress up, and her family was far from wealthy, so she was unaware that Tianxiang Tower’s backyard held exclusive courtyards for guests of even higher status.
