The conversation between Chen Hu and Wu Xiangui came to an abrupt halt, and they turned somewhat in shock toward the direction the voice came from.
They were currently on their way back to Miss Xu's house, passing through an area where the wealthy families of Anping County resided. The surroundings were serene, and the roads were wide and well-maintained, so accidents were rare.
On the rare occasions when something did happen, it became particularly noticeable.
They saw two carriages parked by the roadside not far ahead. The carriages were low-key in appearance but impressively spacious and grand, made from the finest mahogany wood. The lanterns hanging on the carriages were exquisitely crafted.
Each carriage was drawn by two tall and robust stallions, and several guards surrounded them. An observant person would instantly recognize that the carriages belonged to someone of significance.
