As soon as she retreated into the yard, the old woman attempted to close the courtyard gate, her expression particularly panicked.
But Meng Zhuqing wouldn't possibly allow her to shut it and held the gate open for Xiao Changyi to enter the courtyard.
Gong Juechen followed into the courtyard as well.
It was only then that Meng Zhuqing stopped obstructing the door and even helped to close the courtyard gate.
"Come inside," Xiao Changyi led the way into the house. It wasn't good to talk outside, better to do so inside.
Gong Juechen gracefully followed Xiao Changyi into the house.
The old woman seemed at a loss but, in the end, plucked up the courage to enter the house as well.
Meng Zhuqing finally entered the room.
Inside, there were very few possessions, indicating that this household was quite poor. Xiao Changyi and Gong Juechen sat beside an old square table. Conveniently, there were two long benches by the table, and Xiao Changyi and Gong Juechen each took one.
