The servants quickly brought over the outerwear for Sheng Sidong's family and fetched umbrellas.
Sheng Tang and her younger brother shared one umbrella and walked behind the old master, with Sheng Sidong and his wife bringing up the rear.
The house was left in a complete mess.
Once they stepped out of the villa and stood under the banyan tree at the gate, Sheng Sidong spoke up, "Sir, it's already very late. We should head back now."
The old master looked somewhat tired, "I've moved to a house in the suburbs. I never invited anyone over; it was just the servants and me, very quiet and lonely. From now on, I plan to live there permanently and not return here. Why don't you all come over and have dinner with me tonight? Consider it a housewarming."
Sheng Sidong and Fang Mengying were taken aback.
Then they thought about it; with the old master moving from the old house, visiting him during the holidays would be much less troublesome. They were quite pleased with the prospect.
