Suddenly, a person appeared, blocking their way, and said in a deep voice: "Guests, this place is off-limits."
Duan Rong furrowed his brow slightly. They had been to this place at noon, and no one stopped them then. Why had it become restricted by evening?
Shen Mizi did not expect this either. Stepping out from behind Duan Rong, she asked angrily: "This Inner Garden, we just visited at noon. Why can't we tour it now?"
Seeing Shen Mizi, the man bowed and said: "Miss, it's the master's orders. We are only acting on orders and hope Miss won't make it difficult for us."
Just then, Duan Rong saw inside the courtyard gates, where two small sedans had stopped not far away. A maid walked over and opened the curtain, and two middle-aged men in official robes with Black Wing Hats stepped out.
Judging by the rank indicated by the official robes, those two were of County Magistrate status.
Duan Rong suddenly said: "Since it's Shen Daren's orders, we do not wish to disturb."
