"Eat more, you look so hungry." Zheng Ruqian said with a smile as he put food on her plate.
Xu Mo recounted what he had seen and heard, "The Liao family no longer mentions the fact that the patriarch was beaten, and they are even trying to suppress it."
"Why?" Chang Yan asked in surprise. "The Liao family keeps making a fuss because they're waiting for the Jiang family to back down and make some deals for the sake of Young Master Jiang's reputation."

Everyone was curious, and Zheng Ruqian, who was closest, simply bent over and leaned in, his gaze landing precisely on the last line of the last page.
"I have acquired more than ten lambs on the grassland and have already kept them. However, there are too many monks and not enough porridge. I hope that my second brother can take them away as soon as possible to comfort my sister's heart."
