"Now that you've ascended the throne, our family's situation is stable. It just so happens that there's a conscription period, and those three just ran away, leaving a letter and no one knows where they went to join the army."
“Long’er, it’s not that your uncle doesn’t want them to go. Your aunt is just worried about them. She implied she was unhappy, but if they’re going, they should go. Why did they have to run away? They didn’t even tell the family. They don’t even know where they’re fighting. What if something happens to any of them and they die on the battlefield? Your aunt and I wouldn’t be able to tell.”
"I came here today to ask you to help me find out where these children are."
Huo Xiaolong nodded after hearing this and said:
“It’s no big deal, I can find you an uncle the day after tomorrow.”
Hou Xiangxiang and Da Ni'er kept looking at Scarface, as did Long'er.
The three of them exchanged a smile, knowing without a word what the other woman wanted to ask. Otherwise, why would they have asked Fu Ping to make some meat sauce steamed buns for her?
"Uncle."
"What's wrong, Long'er? Give me your orders."
"Let me ask you something," Huo Xiaolong said with a cheeky grin.
"I've heard, I've heard, these are all just rumors. I've heard that the owner of the Four Seas Casino in the capital has had a lot of romantic encounters. Is that true?"
"..."
"Uncle, is it true? You have a romantic encounter and don't you get beaten at home?" Hou Xiangxiang was very curious, as none of the men in the brothel had ever had this experience.
Scarface felt a cold sweat all over his body, and his head was buzzing.
“Oh, Long’er, how could I dare? Not to mention Fuping, even my own mother would beat me to death. Back then, it was your aunt who carried my mother out of those human traffickers. My mother really treated her like her own daughter.”
"What happened?!"
"Many people want a piece of the casino pie, but I'm not short of money or treasures, so I can only give away women."
Hou Xiangxiang listened intently, propping her head up with her right hand; she was almost ready to crack some melon seeds.
"Then what?"
"Then I didn't dare to take her. I would run away whenever I saw a woman, and run home, and then I would be covered in perfume."
"So, did you get beaten when you got home, Uncle?"
Huo Xiaolong was very curious about what would happen if the gentle and kind Aunt Fuping smelled another perfume on her man.
"No, your aunt didn't finish hitting me, my mom hit me, that's why I got beaten up."
"And then what?"
"Now my mother accompanies me to the casino every day, and she scolds anyone who gives her a gift."
