The door pushed open, and the aroma of an old-fashioned courtyard wafted toward her.
Inside was indeed a courtyard, and it was not small.
The house was arranged in a single line, half of it a small building.
Flowers were planted under the surrounding wall, but they were all common plants, such as fish mint, chinese lantern, and night-blooming jasmine. There were even a few rose bushes and a pomegranate tree.
However, due to lack of maintenance, they all grew a bit wild and scattered. Moreover, the courtyard's floor tiles were damaged in many places, creating uneven surfaces covered with moss and weeds, lending it a sense of an abandoned garden.
Sister-in-law Zhang saw her gaze fall on the weeds and moss, thinking she was quite averse to them, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, I should have come in to tidy up the house, but..."
She paused there.
Chiang Xiao sensed something amiss and immediately asked, "But what? Is there a problem with the house?"
