"At first, I thought it was merely a coincidence, but I never thought it would be so perfectly timed." Ding Gaochang laughed and said, "The main reason I'm here today is to inquire about the matter regarding Feng Ershu."
"Master Ding, this is a public place, it's not exactly convenient for us to talk freely with people coming and going. Why don't we move to the backyard? The backyard is clean and cool. After rushing over from the county town, you must be tired. You can rest for a bit there."
As Zhuang Qingning spoke, she lifted the curtain at the entrance to lead the way for Ding Gaochang.
Only then did Ding Gaochang call on the two bailiffs who had been waiting outside the shop to come in and follow Zhuang Qingning into the backyard.
There was already cold tea prepared in the backyard. Zhuang Qingning took a teacup, filled it, and brought it over: "Please enjoy, sir."
After Ding Gaochang picked up a cup, she also served the remaining tea to the other two bailiffs.
