Despite Xiang Wan's refusal, they ultimately did not move into the main courtyard, but instead cleared out a courtyard not far from Cheng Yuqing's room.
She untied the ropes in front of the government building. It was really inappropriate to enter someone's house with someone tied up.
In the evening, after dinner in the main hall, Xiang Wan suggested that Cheng Yuqing show him around the mansion.
Cheng Yuqing was extremely unwilling, but it was her grandfather's order, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
