The banquet began amidst the music of silk bamboo instruments and discussions of poetry and song, and ended amidst jewelry, hats, and the swirling skirts filling the hall.
Lin Wanwan and the four cousins from Xiao Mansion were still squeezed into two carriages, rolling under the starlight all the way home.
The County Government and the Xiao Family were in the same neighborhood, belonging to the wealthy area of Qiantang. Even on nights with a curfew, it was largely disregarded within the neighborhood.
Especially as this neighborhood was home to the rich and noble, so there would not be any foolish patrols passing through.
As soon as the cousins returned to the Xiao Family, they were welcomed warmly.
Lin Wanwan's aunt, Madam Yuan, heard the noise at the gate and led Little Qingyu and her grandson out to welcome them. She was delighted to see her three daughters return home with glowing faces.
