When Zhang Xia and the others arrived at the Xu Family Mansion, they found it even more bustling than the Zhen Garden in the Imperial Capital on the day Official Xu passed away.
Dozens of sedan chairs and more than twenty carriages were parked in front, completely blocking the originally spacious Taiping Street.
Porters, coachmen, various servants, and maids gathered together, whispering amongst themselves. Even the idle citizens of Jinling came to watch, having heard that the Xu Family would be electing a new Clan Leader soon. If the choice was not satisfactory, it might even lead to the division of the family.
Zhang Xia led Xiao Man, San Shichi, and Li Si through the crowd, heading straight for the Xu Family's gate.
The servants and coachmen were murmuring quietly: "Which branch are they from this time?"
A coachman leaned against his carriage, speaking slowly: "Perhaps they're just coming in from the countryside, not even having a sedan chair. They can't be anyone important."
