Yun Xiu settled in the western courtyard not far from Jinyu Pavilion, where no one else resided.
Interestingly, Yun Xiu didn't take up the main house, but chose a room on the eastern side.
The western courtyard was even larger than the eastern one, and it was sizeable enough to accommodate a Consort Fujin.
As for Lady Niuhulu, she resided in the Southern Courtyard, which was Lady Geng's place. Now, she lived together with Lady Geng and Lady Zhang.
Just by looking at their living areas, the distinctions of proximity and estrangement within relationships were clear.
After all, Yun Xiu was the cousin of Fujin.
Upon returning to her room, Lady Niuhulu felt somewhat restless, "I never wanted to go in the first place. The Master is at war, what's the point of eagerly sending me over? Now it's turned into a slap in the face."
