After dinner, Wang Yongfu and the others hadn't arrived yet, so Wang Yongzhu sent someone to call them. After a while, the message came back saying they were busy and wouldn't be having dinner, so there was no need to wait.
Wang Yongzhu didn't urge further, simply had the kitchen prepare a meal for them and sent it over separately, and left it at that.
The other two families could tell something was up, but seeing Wang Yongzhu acting as if nothing was wrong, they naturally didn't feel comfortable asking.
Everyone ate dinner gloomily, each lost in their thoughts, and then dispersed.
Back at their living quarters, Wang Yongfu's room door was tightly shut.
Inside, cries of pain from Jinguan could be heard, along with the couple, Jindou, trying to soothe him.
Everyone exchanged glances; Wang Yonggui waved his hand, signaling Lady Jiang and Liu Xiaoqiao to take the children back inside.
