The authorities have arrived, and naturally, the villagers gathered outside had to disperse.
Shu Yu couldn't return to the city either; it was so late that the gates had already been shut.
Young Master Jiang then invited them to stay temporarily at the manor. Fortunately, both Daniu and Third Lu had informed their families of their plans before leaving.
There wasn't much need to worry about Zhou Qiao, and as for Madam Liang, she had long grown accustomed to Third Lu's nights of not coming home. She would eat and sleep as usual.
What's more, she knew Third Lu had gone to borrow money from the second household. She even speculated that he must be doing something for Yu. Once the task was completed, the money would naturally be lent, so she wasn't concerned.
Young Master Jiang not only invited them but also extended the invitation to several officers.
