If he remembered correctly, Luo Wen was a distant relative of Manager Liu. He was also the one who brought him into the residence.

Luo Wen was a little nervous under everyone’s gaze. When he met Liu Jinbao’s gaze, he gritted his teeth and took two steps forward to kneel. “Greetings, Lord

Zhang and Lord Wang.”

Lord Zhang nodded for him to continue.

“I can testify that Boss Liu did not lose his footing and fall into the water. Instead, he was knocked unconscious and thrown down by Manager Liu and

Old Madam.”

“You’re talking nonsense!”

“You’re talking nonsense!”

Two voices sounded at the same time. It was Manager Liu and Song Jiayue.

Lord Zhang frowned unhappily.

“I didn’t.” Song Jiayue explained in a panic. “In name, I’m Eldest Master’s stepmother. I have no grudges with him. I have no reason to harm him. It’s…

it’s this useless servant who slandered me!”

Manager Liu said, “Luo Wen, I know you still hate me for not borrowing money to treat your mother back then, but I really didn’t have that much money back then. I’ve been bringing you along these few years to make up for it.”

“You have no right to mention my mother.” Luo Wen interrupted him coldly and kowtowed three times to Lord Zhang. “I can guarantee with my head that I saw what I said just now with my own eyes. Everything I said is true.”

Song Jiayue and Manager Liu were about to say something when Lord Zhang gave them a look. A few bailiffs immediately went over and grabbed them.

Deputy Wang’s legs went weak.

Lord Zhang said, “Continue.”

Luo Wen said, “Ever since the old master suddenly fell ill three months ago, the manager and the old madam began to replace the shopkeepers of the shops under the Liu family in the old master’s name. Eldest Master happened to go out with the caravan during that period of time. When he returned, he found out and quarreled with the old master. That night, he drank some wine and accidentally bumped into the manager and the old madam. They were afraid that the matter would blow up, so they killed him to silence him.”

Song Jinghuan was shocked by his words. She had guessed the beginning correctly, but not the end.

If her imagination was bolder, could Second Master Liu not be Old Master Liu’s son?

After all, so many of his concubines did not get pregnant.

Song Jinghuan felt that she had found out the truth.

Apart from Liu Jinbao, everyone else present thought of this.

“Since you saw it, why didn’t you save him?” Liu Jinbao’s focus was different from theirs.

“I…” Luo Wen lowered her head guiltily.

Song Jinghuan patted his shoulder. “If he tried, we might have lost our only witness.”

They even dared to change the shopkeepers in the shop. Most of the servants in the residence had long been changed to their subordinates. Othervvise, wouldn’t the change of shopkeepers cause a ruckus as soon as they came to confront them?

Liu Jinbao clenched his fists.

Song Jinghuan said, “You were the one who sent a letter to Liu Jinbao to tell him that Old Master Liu was seriously ill and asked him to come back, right?”

Luo Wen nodded. “Back then, my mother was seriously ill. Before she died, she kept wanting to eat Jude Xuan’s roasted duck, but my family’s money was used to buy medicine. It was Young Master who rewarded me with some money, so my mother could leave without any regrets.”

His mother’s illness had dragged on for nearly a year and had spent all the savings in the family. To Liu Jinbao, it was just a casual gift to a servant, but to Luo Wen, it was no different from sending charcoal in the snow.

He had always remembered this kindness.

Knowing that the young master and the old master had a deep relationship, he did not want him to not even be able to see the old master one last time, so he secretly got someone to send a letter to the capital.

However, he did not expect that before his young master returned, eldest master would be harmed by them first.

Later on, he secretly observed and realized that the butler was colluding with the county magistrate.

The Liu residence was already in the hands of Song Jiayue, and there was the protection of an official. He was worried that Liu Jinbao was no match for them, so he persuaded him to leave at the entrance of the residence.

“Nonsense, you’re spouting nonsense. What benefits did Liu Jinbao give you to

frame me like this?” It was unknown where Song Jiayue found the strength to break free from the bailiff’s grip. She pulled out the sword at the bailiff’s waist and stabbed it at Luo Wen.

Song Jinghuan raised her eyebrows and kicked her away.

Song Jiayue’s body smashed against the wall behind her and she fainted.

“Mother!” A boy about five or six years old rushed out.

“Mother, Mother, what’s wrong?” The boy went to pull Song Jiayue back with red eyes. Seeing that her eyes were closed, he ran to Song Jinghuan and started to punch and kick her. “You bad person, why did you hit my mother? I want to tell my father. I want him to kill you and feed you to the wolves.”

Liu Jinbao grabbed his collar and picked him up. “How can you say such vicious words at such a young age?”

Manager Liu was shocked. “Fu Gui…”

“Let go of me!” The boy flailed his arms and legs in midair. Seeing that Liu

Jinbao was unmoved, he scolded with a red face, “Who do you think you are? My mother said that the Liu family will be mine in the future. I can do whatever I want.’

A complicated expression appeared on Song Jinghuan’s face. It was obvious that this was Song Jiayue’s son, the second master of the Liu family, Liu Fu Gui.

She glanced at the anxious Manager Liu. It was unknown if his surname would be Liu in the future.

As it turned out, she was not wrong. In less than an hour after Lord Zhang brought her back to the government office, Manager Liu confessed everything, including whether Deputy Wang had accepted bribes.

“Go in. Don’t you want to see your grandfather?” Seeing that Liu Jinbao was standing in front of the door without moving for five minutes, Song Jinghuan couldn’t help but urge him softly.

Liu Jinbao pursed his lips. “I…”

“Didn’t Luo Wen say that the excommunication happened after your grandfather fell ill? It might not have been his intention at all. Your grandfather doted on you so much. How could he abandon you so easily?” Liu Jinbao took a deep breath and pushed the door open. “Baby, is my baby back? Grandfather has let you down, my baby…” At this moment, the cries of an old man sounded in the room.

Song Jinghuan was speechless..
