Chen Yue stayed in Xu Hongyu's courtyard for a long time.
It wasn't until past noon that Chen Mu quietly left.
However, before he could return to his own residence, just as he had stepped out of the eastern main courtyard, a figure who seemed to have been waiting for a long time approached him. Dressed as a steward, he was advanced in years, and was in fact the Yu Family's old housekeeper.
"Young Master Chen, this old servant has been waiting for you for quite a while. The master has said that the northern courtyard is no longer suitable for your stay, so we've arranged a new residence for you in the east. It's a bit more spacious and has been cleaned thoroughly. If it's not to your liking, you're welcome to choose another,"
the old housekeeper said, the age-weathered face wearing a kind smile.
