The weather was indeed gradually getting cooler.
In Bianzhou City, the houses remained in high demand but seldom on sale. Xie YanYu was of good character; even as an official, he had no intention of abusing power to coerce people into selling their houses.
So, the brother and sister could only stay at the Prefectural Magistrate Mansion.
As the autumn exams drew nearer, Xie YanYu became busier.
In contrast, Ji Chengfeng, the Lord Governor, seemed very leisurely, visiting the backyard almost daily to inquire about the well-being of his 'savior.'
However, his manners were decent, and his words were appropriate.
Xie Wanqing no longer felt uncomfortable about it.
One day, Ji Chengfeng brought some news.
The turmoil in Xiangzhou had been suppressed, and Yu Cheng, the Military Governor, was captured alive by Lu Ziyuan. His entire maternal family was executed, and the Crown Prince Consort, from the Yu Family, was implicated and exiled to a military camp.
