Jiu Ye noticed it, too. "There's no pond!" he exclaimed in surprise.
Although they were removed in the family tree, but they still came from a rich family, after all. And it was a standard to have a pond in one's home.
"No wonder I feel it's strange earlier… I didn't hear the sound of water!" Jiu Ye spoke as he looked around. "They didn't build a pond… or was it removed because of that 'rule'?" he asked and looked at Shi Jiu.
Shi Jiu's gaze fell on the wooden bridge. "They removed it." he answered. "Because of that 'rule'." He said.
Jiu Ye followed his gaze and saw the wooden bridge. There should have been a pond beneath it. "In order to comply with the 'rule', they buried it with soil." He said.
