After a three-day train ride, she was quite exhausted despite having a sleeper berth, so Lu Jiaxin went straight home instead of visiting the antique shop.
Initially, she had only bought Sun Xun's house, but in April, Lu Jiaxin had Master Qian buy the second and third courtyards as well, and had them refurbished.
Seeing Lu Jiaxin standing at the entrance, looking at the gate without moving, Master Qian said with a smile, "Now that the house has been bought, it wouldn't do to keep using the side door. I restored the main gate to its original layout."
The old gate had three doors, but the Sun Family, wary of drawing too much attention, had bricked it up and made a side door instead. Although it was an odd decision, one has to admit that Sun Xun's grandfather was very clever; his descendants were spared from the turmoil.
