Early the next morning, apart from Chu Lingxuan, all the family heads and members of the Animal House had gathered in the main court. The old Marquis was here to see the tricolour ball, and the children and the Animal House were here to see Jin Yanzi.
The courtyard was filled with laughter and chatter, birds chirping, dogs barking - it was quite lively.
Dabao was having so much fun with Jin Yanzi that he didn't even want to go to school anymore. Chen Afu scowled at him, and reluctantly, Dabao pouted and went off.
By midday, Chu Hanxuan, on hearing the news, hurriedly galloped back.
Chen Afu wanted to go to Lingyin Temple right away, but Chu Lingxuan disagreed. A sedan chair wasn't as fast as a horse carriage, and it would take at least four hours at the fastest. If they set off now, they would reach Lingyin Temple at night. Walking in the mountains in the dark was accident-prone.
