Finally, after the meal ended and everyone dispersed, several clan elders hurriedly stopped Song Lingbo.
"Lingbo! What on earth is going on? Why did you come back only to dive straight into the kitchen and start cooking? The matter between our Song family and the Cheng family—it's far from over! As the head of the household, how can you not be worried at all?" one elder said with concern.
"Indeed! With such a major crisis upon us, you still find time to eat and drink?" another elder shook his head. His mind was so preoccupied with worry that even though Song Lingbo had prepared tonight's feast, he couldn't bring himself to eat.
Hearing this, Song Lingbo replied, "Elders, there's no need for worry. The Cheng family likely won't dare come again. Even if they do, there's no cause for concern. Put this matter out of your minds and return to rest. Trust me—the manor will be fine." With that, he turned and left without waiting for further discussion.
