Uncle Zhao raised his hand, and the people from the main house halted.
The lady of the second house stepped out first. She grasped two golden maces with both hands, crossing them behind her head, resembling both a stand and a pillow.

When their strapping son Zhao Yong got off the sedan chair holding a shovel, Second Master Zhao took the initiative to step aside, letting his son take the lead.
Tan Wenbin had considered using "civil drama" to stall for time.
