The day after returning to Ningmen Prefecture, Daohua had breakfast in the old madam's courtyard and then proceeded to the main courtyard with Yan Yihuan and two others. By the time they arrived, the courtyard was already full of people.
Four chairs had been placed under the eaves at the entrance.
Seeing this, Daohua walked straight over.
Yan Yihuan and her companions hurried to follow. As they passed through the crowd, they instinctively straightened their backs, employing all the rules and etiquette instilled by Master Shen to ensure they wouldn't lose face in front of the servants.
Daohua took a seat in the center chair. Yan Yihuan followed suit without much hesitation and took up a central position as well, with Yan Yile and Yan Yishuang taking seats on either side.
