Returning from He Lianfang's study, Zhao Yao didn't rush back to his room to sleep but went to the study instead. He hadn't been back these past few days and had a pile of things to handle.
As he reached the front yard, several cats and dogs came running towards him, wagging their tails. He squatted down, stretched out his hand to pet them, and even kissed them.
These dogs and cats are natives of the Swamp Prefecture, adopted by Zhao Yao last year. He took in the stray cats and dogs from the Swamp Prefecture.
Some of these stray cats and dogs stayed in Prince Han's mansion, some at the farm on Nanshan, while others were kept at Zhao Yao's Personal Guard's camp.
Back then, the cats and dogs Zhao Yao adopted in the capital all left before he came to Lingnan. Some died of illness, some of old age, and others due to accidents.
