Filled with pigs, sheep, cows, and horses, there are even several large duck pens—just like an animal yard.
Not only is it smelly, but also exceptionally noisy.
The ground is covered with duck poop—there's nowhere to step.
The courtyard is mostly filled with women, some of whom are directly nauseated by the smell.
Only Ruan Mian quickly organized others to bring out their mats and such, laying a layer of straw first, then placing the mats on top, along with the large leaves they had picked earlier, so they at least had a place to stand.
Seeing this, people from the Qi Mansion and Uncle's Mansion also instructed some servants to pick leaves from nearby trees and scatter them on the ground.
They were now tired and hungry, having walked all day; their legs were not obeying them.
Fortunately, Ruan Mian's group had tied their legs, so they could still manage a bit.
Seeing that it was getting late, she and Cui Zhu set up the stove and gathered some firewood nearby.
