"The Hostage Mansion was established in an abandoned house. It was said that the family who lived there before was executed for their crimes, and everyone considered it unlucky. Just as Yelv Zhi arrived without a place to stay, the Ministry of Revenue assigned it as the Hostage Mansion. The surrounding neighbors weren't closely connected with them; they only heard the shoutings and scuffles but didn't dare to come out and see. They only came out to put out the fire when it started for fear it would affect them. When the Ministry of Industry handed over the house initially, they rushed the construction, and the garden inside was left unattended. The Yelv Clan doesn't know how to maintain it either, leaving dead branches and fallen leaves everywhere. The fire burned it thoroughly; after last night's big fire, there was a layer of black ash inside. It'll cost a lot to clean up now."
Hong Ye gestured animatedly as if she had experienced it herself last night.
Cui Ming just laughed.
