"Is the Ninth Young Master in?"
A deferential middle-aged man walked in.
Hong Kun was actually a little puzzled. A moment ago, the Third Elder had suddenly found him and directly ordered him to clear out a courtyard of the highest standard. Then, he was told to come to the area where the side branches lived, find Hong Yu, and settle them comfortably into that courtyard.
Hong Kun was the Grand Steward of the Hong Family, a position of no small status. He usually served the Elders and the various young masters. When had he ever come to the side-branch area?
But he didn't dare defy the Third Elder's command in the slightest.
However, just as he arrived, he heard a screech like a dying pig from outside the door. This made Hong Kun especially perplexed, and he wondered if the Third Elder had given him the wrong address. But after checking and re-checking, he confirmed the address was correct and could only brace himself, knock, and enter.
Hong Yu frowned. "And you are?"
