How did it become like this?

Two days later, Prince Yi arrived at Northern City.

He had already asked someone to buy a courtyard near the magistrate's residence in Northern City.

When he arrived in Northern City, he went to the courtyard to wash up and change his clothes before he went to the magistrate's residence next door.

This was the place where the previous magistrate lived. 

After one of them moved away, the new magistrate moved in.

Xiao Hanzheng had only asked his men to renovate the yard and add a bathroom to the room. 

Other than that, there were no other changes.

When Prince Yi arrived, he happened to see Shi Qingluo bringing her mother-in-law and sister-in-law out.

Shi Qingluo saw Prince Yi, who was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe with a striking and handsome face, walking over from not far away. 

Many passers-by's eyes were on him.
