The small courtyard that Yuan Bao rented is actually not far from the Tang Family, just in a relatively remote location. The courtyard isn't big but has five rooms, along with a woodshed and a kitchen, though it lacks a bathing room.
However, they're only staying temporarily, so this small flaw is nothing. The important thing is that this courtyard is quiet, yet not far from the main street, making it convenient for horse carriages to come and go.
As soon as they moved into the courtyard, Yuan Bao and Miao Chunjiang were fussing over something in the yard, while Xiao Ruo took Chow Yun to the street to buy food.
Coincidentally, Xiao Ruo ran into the Gao Family's carriage on the street; Jhiang Jiaxue and Tang Meiqi had just received the news that Yi Zhuang was burned and were hurrying to the Tang Family.
Tang Meiqi was silently shedding tears in the carriage, and Jhiang Jiaxue lifted the curtain to greet Xiao Ruo before leaving, promising to visit her another day.
