Liu Shushan drove the carriage to a stop in front of the Ximen Family's old estate.
The Ximen Family had moved away more than a year ago.
At this moment, fallen leaves covered the stone steps, and the heads of the two stone lions in front of the door were topped with bird droppings.
Ximen Kankan stood there for a moment, looked around, and sighed, "No matter how fine a mansion is, without human presence, it quickly deteriorates beyond recognition."
Ximen Kankan took out a bunch of keys from his back waist, selected one, and unlocked the large copper lock on the vermilion door, which was bigger than a fist.
The copper lock was already a bit rusty. Ximen Kankan had to turn it several times before the mechanism finally clicked open.
Ximen Kankan pushed open the door and gestured for Liu Shushan to drive the carriage inside.
There was originally a side gate specifically for carriages, but with the estate in such a state of disrepair, why bother with such formalities?
