He knew he had a significant feud with the black-robed man. But why this mysterious person would appear here, and moreover, have a marriage contract with the young lady of this house, left him completely baffled.

He planned to eavesdrop for more information there and see if he could find any trace of the black-robed man.
Fang Yue reached the vicinity of the front hall and hid behind a rockery.
He saw quite a few people gathered in the front hall, all servants and guards of the household, murmuring amongst themselves.
