Ning Yue was not in a hurry to ask Yuan Hui what had happened. Instead, she said to him, "Uncle, let's eat first. We'll talk after eating."
Yuan Hui sighed and sat down. Only then did Ning Yue begin to scoop rice for them. "I saw mutton in the kitchen. It happened to be cold, so I used it to make mutton hotpot."
While eating, Ning Yue suddenly asked, "Eldest Cousin and Second Brother, has anyone been looking for you recently? Have you been staying in the capital?"
When the two of them heard this, they looked at Ning Yue in confusion. "Ever since we returned from Laifu Village, we've been staying in the capital. There are people looking for us almost every day. I wonder who Cousin is talking about."
Liu Xuan's words made Ning Yue's heart sink. In other words, the shopkeeper was lying.
Why was he lying? What was his motive?
Seeing Ning Yue frown and look deep in thought, Yuan Hui couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
