When Wei Ruo and Xiumei arrived, quite a crowd had amassed outside the Four Treasure House, reminiscent of the lively scenes when the establishment held events in the past.
But when they got a little closer, they realized they weren't Four Treasure House's customers; they were from the imperial court.
Wei Ruo and Xiumei immediately figured out that these people from the court must be here to officially appoint Xu Zhengyong.
Because with Xu Zhengyong's promotion, his rank has changed. He would have his own residence, like Wei Mingting.
Wei Ruo and Xiumei hid in the crowd and waited until all the court officials had left before entering the Four Treasure House.
Just as they were about to pass through the shop into the back hall, their path was blocked by two men dressed as soldiers.
"This is Mr. Xu's residence. Unauthorized persons and miscellaneous personnel not allowed. To buy something, stay in the shop."
