The next day, the blazing sun rose from the horizon. Yun'an City, which was sunny after the rain, returned to its usual tranquility.
In the Pei residence, the maidservants were bustling about doing their jobs. Zhe Yunli, who had woken up early, was standing by the lotus pond and slowly practicing health-maintaining boxing with her martial mistress. Meanwhile, Third Lady had brought out maidservants early in the morning and ran to the vicinity of the Pei residence to busy herself with buying a new house.
At the entrance of Heavenly Water Bridge, a black horse ran out of the bustling streets and alleys, galloping toward Jasper Pavilion in the east of the city.
Ye Jingtang was riding on the horse. He was wearing an exquisite black official robe, a belt inlaid with white jade around his waist, a silver crown on his head, and long boots. He was meticulously dressed from head to toe.
