The Qiao Family had taken the courtyard that was promised to Lu Min and the other three families. While they were not pleased, they decided it was just a place to stay and opted to keep their distance.
They planned to reconsider their options upon arriving in Hangzhou City.
Seeing Lu Min's half-smile, the other two lords were curious about the dynamic between County Magistrate Qiao's family, Madam Shao, and Lord Shao. However, Lu Min kept silent, unwilling to divulge anything.
He knew better than to discuss how Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan treated the Qiao Family; it wasn't the right time to speak out.
While County Magistrate Qiao and Madame Qiao were currently assertive, Lu Min sensed they would face repercussions upon reaching Hangzhou City.
Suggesting they move to another inn, the other two lords readily agreed.
The next morning, they woke early, had a quick breakfast, and departed before County Magistrate Qiao and Madame Qiao were even awake.
