These ghouls were like monkeys, and they would not avoid the dishes. Instead, they went straight to the center of the table surrounded by guests.
As ghouls, most of them did not have a special sense of taste, so all of the dishes tasted the same to them, so they would not taste everything on the table.
However, the atmosphere was indeed great. It did not prevent them from enjoying the singing, dancing and chatter.
Xie Qiao had been forced to listen to them the whole time.
“They’re losing their heir in such a large family business, yet this old man is still so happy. He really is a person who has seen the world!”
“Our Master is the most generous and courteous. How could he treat his guests poorly because of his family’s matters? Moreover, these guests are all from the capital. They’re very different.” One of the ghouls was dressed as a servant and was very respectful.
“Do you all think that the young master over there is really good-looking? There is also a faint… nice smell on his body…”
Xie Qiao did not see them swarming toward the Crown Prince, nor did she see the Crown Prince’s yin soldiers appear to chase away the ghouls. Therefore, she could basically confirm that a portion of the good karmas gathered from the wooden figure and other ghouls that she had put away on the mountain earlier were put on Zhao Xuanjing, which made his illness much better.
If such a grand deal came a few more times, her darling’s illness should be cured.
It was quite easy to cure.
Xie Qiao’s imagination was running wild. After a while, she and Xiao Yurong switched seats and sat next to Jiang Jinlu.
Looking at her fifth junior brother, she asked slowly, “Junior Brother, why aren’t there any male members of the Meng family at the banquet today?”
Other than Old Master Meng and the servants around him, the rest of the members of the Meng family were all women!
It was rude to get his granddaughters to entertain the guests, but since they had already done that, they had to show their sons and grandsons. Otherwise, it would appear that these women were indecent.
Jiang Jinlu felt a little uncomfortable, he said awkwardly, “Old Master Shisan only has one son. When he went out to do business, his leg was broken by the bandits and he doesn’t like to entertain. In addition, he also has a grandson and an adopted son. His grandson is not young and should not be at home. His adopted son… is a four or five-year-old young child. Old Master Meng wants our teacher to teach that child.”
“A young child?” Xie Qiao was puzzled. “O-Old Master Shisan is not young anymore. Why did he take such a young adopted son?”
“He said that the parents of this young child saved him and only took him as his adopted son to repay the kindness of saving his life. Old Master Meng is a person who repays kindness,” Jiang Jinlu added.
Xie Qiao still thought it was quite strange.
This Old Master Meng did not have a son or grandson. This young child was probably old enough to be his great-grandson. It was odd for him to take him as his adopted son…
“I heard that Old Master Shisan is losing his heir. What does that mean?” Xie Qiao asked again.
Jiang Jinlu frowned when he heard that. “Where did Senior Sister hear that from?Keep it to yourself. It’s inappropriate.”
Xie Qiao fell silent for a moment.
In other words, even her junior brother did not know about the Meng family’s situation?
Could it be that Old Master Meng was hiding something?
These ghouls wandered around and knew a lot, so they would not lie.
Jiang Jinlu looked at his senior sister’s serious look and felt complicated.
He respected her, but he could not accept her identity as a fraud.
“Senior Sister, it’s okay for you to put some lamps around Third Senior Brother, and it’s okay to put a talisman on him, but…. I plead with you not to givehim some strange talisman water or stop him from seeing a doctor, okay?”
