On the other side of the doorway is the backyard of Shen's mansion.
The backyard of Shen's Mansion is very large. At first glance, the flower beds are stacked in layers. There is a pond and bridge in the middle, which is only separated from her yard by a wall.
Bai Yu'an looked up and saw that there was a pavilion not far away, about three or four stories high, with the corridor above facing her yard.
A Tao stood beside Bai Yu'an and said in surprise: "Where is this place?"
Bai Yu'an frowned: "The backyard of Shen's mansion."
A Tao couldn't help covering her lips and said in disbelief: "Why is there a doorway here?"
Bai Yu'an said nothing, turned around and returned to his yard through the doorway.
A Tao followed Bai Yu'an out and saw Bai Yu'an standing aside, looking at the doorway in a daze, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about, Master?"
Bai Yu'an shook his head: "It's okay."
With that said, he turned around and walked to the front yard.
A Tao followed Bai Yu'an and asked, "Do you care about that Mendong master?"
Bai Yu'an remained silent, standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands and looking up, he could clearly see the attic opposite.
Villain.

In the afternoon, Bai Yuan went out after tidying up a little.
Before leaving, A Tao uneasily put on another layer of clothes on the person and wrapped the person tightly in a cloak before giving up.
Mother Chen looked at the things A Tao was holding and quickly said, "My lord is not in good health either. Please keep these for your lord's use."
Bai Yu'an stood aside and said, "Mother Chen, just take it. I can't get used to eating these."
Mother Chen couldn't push it a few times, so she had no choice but to accept it with thanks.
After getting into the carriage, Mother Chen looked at Bai Yu'an gratefully: "I actually bothered you to go out to do things at home."
Bai Yu'an smiled: "There are some things going on when I go out, so I just stopped by to take a look."
Mother Chen's rented residence is in a very narrow alley in the west of the city. The alley is full of sewage, the air is filled with an indescribable smell, and there is almost no place to step.
But in a place like this, children wearing thin cloth shoes are chasing and playing in the alleys with laughter.
No matter how easy-going Bai Yu'an was, he couldn't help but frown when he saw a place like this.
When a child ran past Bai Yu'an, he accidentally bumped her arm. Bai Yu'an couldn't help but look back, and the child in linen clothes and a small coat made a face at her.
It's like I just bumped into you, and you're not afraid of what you can do to me.
Bai Yu'an was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
A Tao glared at the little boy and hurriedly wiped Bai Yu'an's sleeves: "Master, are you okay?"
Bai Yu'an waved his hand: "It's okay."
Mother Chen looked at Bai Yu'an carefully and said with a little embarrassment: "Young Master's shoes are clean, so you better not go in."
Bai Yu Anshu raised her eyebrows, looked at Mother Chen and said, "Mother Chen, don't worry about me, just lead the way."
Mother Chen couldn't say any more and hurriedly walked ahead.
A Tao was holding her nose next to her, and was about to complain a few words, but she saw Bai Yu'an lowering her eyebrows and saying nothing, and swallowed the words that came to her mouth.
Bai Yu'an looked at his feet. When he reached the spot, his boots were inevitably stained with dirt.
A Tao took out the handkerchief and knelt down to wipe Bai Yu'an clean.
Bai Yu'an stopped her: "It's nothing, people outside are watching."
A Tao then looked around and saw many aunts standing around, looking towards them, and couldn't help but stand up and put away the handkerchief.
The house that Mrs. Chen rents is a house built by a businessman who bought land and built exclusively for rent. It looks like it has been there for a few years. After entering from the gate, there are rows of verandah houses with extremely small courtyards.
The place where Mrs. Chen lives is one of these corridor houses.
Bai Yu'an asked Chen's mother: "How much is the rent for this room?"
Mother Chen opened the door and said, "I pay it once every three months, and it still costs half the money."
Bai Yu'an nodded and looked at the dark and narrow room in front of him.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, and the whole thing can be seen at a glance.
I saw a bed by the window. A skinny man was lying on the bed, and a girl about six or seven years old was guarding next to her.
When the girl saw Bai Yu'an, her face was as beautiful as a fairy, and she couldn't help but stare at him with her eyes wide open.
Mother Chen warmly invited Bai Yu'an to come in and sit down, and then hurriedly went to pour tea for Bai Yu'an: "I'll make do with you, this is all we have in the house."
The porcelain cup still had some dark stains on it, as if it had not been taken out for a long time.
Bai Yu'an glanced at it, holding the tea cup and looking at the little girl who was looking at her.
A Tao put the box in his hand on the table and frowned when he looked at the cup in Bai Yu'an's hand.
Mother Chen noticed Bai Yuan's gaze and hurriedly called the little girl who was guarding the bedside: "Chun Niang, come quickly and kowtow to the Lord."
After hearing this, the little girl named Chun Niang hurriedly came over, knelt on her knees, and kowtowed to the god-like adult in her eyes.
Bai Yu'an hurriedly put down the cup, stopped the little girl, looked at Mother Chen and said with a smile: "Mother Chen, just be more casual. Chun Niang is just a little girl, how can she kowtow easily."
Mother Chen nodded awkwardly.
Bai Yu'an held Chun Niang's hand and saw that her face was covered with stains, as if no one had looked after her for a long time, so she asked Mother Chen, "Where is Chun Niang's mother?"
Mother Chen let out a long sigh: "I abandoned my child and ran away last year, and I didn't look for him. It was hard for her to follow my son, and I didn't want to embarrass her."
Bai Yu'an lowered her eyes and looked at the girl in front of her who was looking at her ignorantly, with pity in her heart.
Those eyes were dark and bright, blinking at people with a clear and appraising look. If this face was clean, it must be pretty and pleasing to the eye.
He couldn't help but take out the white handkerchief from his arms and wipe the dirt on Chun Niang's face.
At this time, the man who had been lying on the bed propped himself up, looked at Bai Yu'an and shouted: "Master Bai."
Bai Yu'an then looked at the bed, thinking that it was because Chen's mother had mentioned him in front of him.
Mother Chen hurriedly introduced: "This is my youngest son, adults call him Shi Er."
Shi Er on the bed looked very weak, with slightly sunken cheeks and blue eyes. The hair on his head was like straw, and the collarbone that was highlighted due to excessive weight loss was faintly visible in the loose skirt of his clothes.
From his appearance, one could tell at a glance that he was someone who had been bedridden for a long time.
She didn't know that Mother Chen's family was in such difficulty. Bai Yu'an felt uncomfortable and couldn't bear to see it.
She looked at Shi Er and said, "But what kind of illness do you have, and why haven't you recovered for so long?"
Mother Chen wiped away her tears and said, "I was fine in the first few years, but for some unknown reason later on, I suddenly fainted while working. Then I started to faint from time to time, and sometimes I couldn't speak properly when I woke up."
"I took him to see many doctors, and they all said there was nothing they could do."
"Now it's difficult to even walk, so I can only lie down on the bed."
"I can still walk occasionally, but I don't know where I'm fainting. Who dares to hire me?"
Shi Er was now so skinny that Bai Yu'an couldn't stand it anymore and looked at Chun Niang, who was standing quietly by her legs.
The little girl had a precocious maturity on her face, but her eyes were still a little ignorant of the world, but her hands were already covered with calluses.
