Wei Hai and his group stayed at Ansi Courtyard for three days. When they finally set off together to return to Xiangzhou, the carriages and horses that had arrived fully loaded were once again packed to the brim upon departure. This was all "thanks" to Gu Ning’an recommending two shops to them—one a tailor shop, the other a carpenter’s workshop.

At the three quarters into the hour of the Pig (9:45 PM), the bright moon hung high in the sky, and most households in Lexiang County had settled into silence. Only Ansi Courtyard remained lively.

Then, he poured half of the wine onto the tree’s roots before gulping down the rest in one go. Hic! Letting out a drunken hiccup, Wei Hai leaned against the tree trunk and…

The Zheng family courtyard was just as lively at the moment! Madam Yu and her son, along with the family of three from the Zheng household, sat on one side. On the other side sat Liao Cui, who had been engaged to Yu Fu that day. Beside her was a burly, rough-looking middle-aged man. The man had a face full of harsh features, with a slight resemblance to Liao Cui in his brow—clearly, he was her father. Madam Yu pulled out a red pouch from her bosom, stuffed it into her son’s hand, and nudged him.…
