Evening approached.
With Kou Yushan's help, Liu Tianyou found a place to stay. Kou Yushan helped with the arrangements, while next door Yun Niang was preparing food for the next day with the two children who had returned from school.
Before Liu Tianyou left, he remembered to tell Sang Que that Yao Zhen had once come looking for her, but upon finding her not at home, had left.
In the vast city of Wangshan, Sang Que didn't know if Yao Zhen was still in the city; she could only wait for her next visit or ask Yu Da to keep an eye out during his patrol tomorrow.
Sang Que had just closed the courtyard door when Xuan Yu returned from outside, dragging a piece of cured meat. It wasn't clear which official's kitchen it had been pilfered from.
Xuan Yu, as always, had a principled way of stealing, never taking from common folk's homes.
