Although Elder Master Xiao didn't believe Liu Hong's nonsense, the matter involved the internal affairs of the Xiao Family, so he had to investigate it thoroughly. This would prevent him from making any misjudgments in the future.
Just as he was thinking about this, his ears twitched slightly. A familiar voice rang out from outside the front gates.
"Go report immediately! Tell that old thief Xiao Yuan to prepare some good wine and food. I've been starving for a decent meal on this damn journey!"
"Lord... Lord Duke? Quick, please come in first. I'll go inform the master right away."
"Come in? The main gates aren't even open, and that old bastard Xiao hasn't come out to greet me. What kind of manners is it for me to just walk in like this? I traveled all this way to bail your master out of trouble, so shouldn't he come out to welcome me personally?"
"Yes, right away..."
