All the households along the way sent their stewards or young servants to stand at their gates to see where the Duke Residence's party was heading.
In the Hou Residence, Yao Wenqi frowned and personally went to the gate to inspect. Upon arriving, he encountered his eldest son, Yao Zheyu, and said in a flat tone, "You came to check personally too?"
Yao Zheyu had been serving at the Ministry of War since returning to the capital and would not seek out his father unless summoned. It had been so long since he returned to the capital, and this was only the fifth time he had seen his father, "Yes."
Yao Wenqi's fingertips curled into his palm, each time he saw his eldest son, he regretted, regretted that he had listened to his father's advice and had not dealt with his eldest son as well.
The side gate of the Hou Residence opened, and the Duke Residence's carriages had already passed by, leaving only the young servants carrying a chest to be seen.
