The Northern Border welcomed a harsh summer.
Outside, the delicate skin of young ladies could literally peel off after just a brief exposure to the sun.
As a result, there were hardly any figures on the streets at the moment.
The tea houses, however, were packed with people drinking tea to cool off, which made the sight of someone riding a horse through the streets all the more conspicuous.
The rider headed straight for the Marquis Residence and then collapsed at the gate, apparently having fainted from heatstroke.
Shen Shuyun watched as the gatekeepers dragged the person inside and later shared this bit of gossip with Yan Wanqing.
" Can you believe it? The people at the Marquis Residence are so heartless, to let a person and horse suffer in the heat outside like that. Now the person has passed out from the heat, who knows if they're okay now."
Yan Wanqing shook her head helplessly.
She wasn't interested in this.
