In order to rush for time, the three of them ate and slept in the open. They were tired and hungry.

When they passed by a wonton stall, Liu Jinbao noticed that Song Jinghuan’s gaze had lingered on it for a few more seconds. He hurriedly said, “I’m starving. Let’s go eat a bowl of wontons before going back.”

With that, he led the horse to the wonton stall. “Boss, give me three bowls of wontons. ”

“Sir, please take a seat. The wontons will be ready soon.”

“You’ve been rushing the entire journey, but now that we’re in the town, you’re not in a rush anymore?” Song Jinghuan thought.

Song Jinghuan thought that he was just homesick and didn’t think too much about it.

Most importantly, she had been eating pancakes for more than a month. She was indeed craving good food.

It was still early, and there were no other customers at the stall. The boss quickly helped them cook three bowls of hot wontons.

Song Jinghuan couldn’t wait to taste it and praised, “This wonton is not bad.” Seeing that she was eating happily, Liu Jinbao, who had no appetite, was tempted.

Seeing this, the servant stopped being polite.

The three of them gobbled up the wontons. Coupled with their travel-worn appearance, they looked like they had escaped from the wilderness.

The stall owner, who was originally bursting with joy because of the customers, could not help but worry.

“Don’t tell me these three people don’t have money to pay?” she thought.

“Boss, two bowls of wontons.”

Fortunately, another guest came at this moment, interrupting his wandering thoughts in time.

“Yes, it’ll be done soon.”

The two of them sat down at an empty table. While they were waiting, one of them started talking about what had happened in town recently.

Whose daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat boy? Whose brat did not learn well and peeped at a widow bathing?

At first, Song Jinghuan only listened for fun. Unexpectedly, the two of them talked about the Liu family.

“Yes. Have you heard about the Liu family?”

In just a short while, Song Jinghuan had heard this opening speech countless times.

Hearing that it started with the Liu family this time, she subconsciously looked at Liu Jinbao. The other party had obviously noticed it and stopped chewing.

“How could I not have heard of it? Sigh, the Liu family is really pitiful. The old master is so old he might die soon, but Uncle Liu died first. The young master of the Liu family was chased away a few years ago and hasn’t returned. It’s hard to say if the Liu family’s surname will still be Liu in the future.”

“That’s right. In my opinion, Old Master Liu is already so old. He has children and grandchildren. He shouldn’t have taken concubines back then. How can a woman who can anger her parents to death be a good person?”

Song Jinghuan didn’t care what the two of them said next. She looked at Liu Jinbao worriedly and realized that his hand that was holding the spoon was clenched in anger.

What did they just say? Uncle Liu was gone? Didn’t they say that his grandfather was critically ill? What happened to his father?

“Don’t be anxious. Perhaps they’re talking about the other Liu family?” Actually, Song Jinghuan didn’t believe her own words, but she still braced herself and comforted him. “Let’s go back to your house to take a look first.”

Liu Jinbao blinked. “Alright.”

With this interlude, no one had the appetite to eat. They hurriedly paid and left.

Half an hour later, the three of them stood at the entrance of the Liu residence.

Looking at the gate in front of him, Liu Jinbao swayed and rushed in without thinking.

Song Jinghuan handed the reins to the servant and quickly followed.

As expected, the two of them were stopped by the servants at the entrance of the residence.

“Hey, who are you? Is this a place you can enter? Leave quickly.”

When had Liu Jinbao not been stopped like this when he went home? He sized up the two servants in front of him and frowned.

He had never seen them before..
