The Shao family house was more of an estate where the inferior branches of the clan resided, with segregated areas for privacy. Under these segregation, there were split quarters where each member of the family resided in.
Which meant, that although the place was somewhat fortified, it was also near impossible for someone to come and go without the other members knowing.
Which was why, when Ming Baozhai came knocking at night to pay a visit, half of the family heard it. Due to the widespread news, Shao Yŭxuān who would have rejected such an invited, felt pressured into seeing the youngster.
Otherwise, it would have been troublesome for him if he turned away young master Ming so openly.
On their way into the room he would be entertaining his guest, Shao Yŭxuān abruptly halted in his steps, looking over his shoulder with narrowed eyes.
