Gu Shiliu exited through the side door, and after a few steps, he arrived at the entrance of Gu Jingcheng's house.
The door plaque was quite new, with the two big characters for Gu Mansion engraved on it.
The Dingbei Marquis Mansion was constructed by royal decree, with the scale and size determined by official records. It could not be sold or sublet. As long as there was someone from the Dingbei Marquis Mansion family, the plaque must remain.
Sectioning off the street-facing courtyard of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion to create a separate household was technically a violation, but no one was going to trouble themselves to enforce it.
"Is anyone there?"
Gu Shiliu knocked on the door knocker.
Someone inside responded and came to open the door.
Gu Jingcheng's household was not as strict as the Marquis Mansion; the gatekeeper and the one who cleaned the courtyard were just old servants.
"Who is it?"
