Improvised

When the great confusion caused by the sudden fire in the posthouse broke out, the Gan Provincial Governor Lei Sitong was leading Sun Bingchen on a tour in the city. It was for parts of the Ye Clan's properties that they had confiscated, located inside the storehouse in the rear hall behind the Military Governor's Office...

Meanwhile, both their attendants who had accompanied them began to quietly move away from them, allowing both Lei Sitong and Sun Bingchen to chat without a third person listening to them in this sort of situation.
