Gu Yuanjin arrived at the city gate and found it bustling with activity. A long escort team was parked outside the gate, resting and reorganizing.
"It's already this hour, and there's still an escort team heading this way." Gu Yuanjin squinted but couldn't clearly see the team's banner. He turned to ask his long-term follower, "Which escort agency is this? It's the Lunar New Year, yet they're still out here."
The long-term follower had better eyesight than him. "Eldest Master, it's the escort team under Seventh Madam."
"Seventh Madam's people are always quite diligent. Chief Steward Hu must have been delayed because of these matters." Gu Yuanjin stared fixedly for a few moments, then instructed the driver to carefully bypass them and enter the city.
They traveled all the way to the Gu Mansion. Seeing several horse carriages parked at the entrance, Gu Yuanjin knew they had guests.
