?Chapter 601: Chapter 552, Arriving Just in Time_1 Chapter 601: Chapter 552, Arriving Just in Time_1 On the twentieth of February, at the wharf outskirts of Ningmen Prefecture City.
Betrouthed gifts draped in red silk were unloaded from the horse carriages by the Yan Family’s servants and then carefully carried onto the boat docked at the shore.
