Previously, Yao Da returned to the small courtyard with the maid and the guards to prepare, so Wang Yongzhu and Old Granny Zhang would have a place to stay upon their return.
At this moment, the courtyard gate was wide open, and when the guards at the entrance saw Wang Yongzhu and Old Granny Zhang arriving with their group, they hurried forward to welcome them in.
The neighbors across the alley and next door had already been notified by the government official not to come out, fearing they might disturb the noble patron.
Therefore, they could only stay inside their own yards, peeking through the gaps in their doors, or climbing onto the walls to watch from afar.
This alley was home to old neighbors who had lived there for many years. Just a few days ago, they heard the news that Scholar Song, who used to live at the entrance of the alley, had become Lord Song, a legendary figure.
