Admiring the lanterns and enjoying the lake and performances, by the time everyone returned to the manor, it was almost midnight.
Since it was very late, nobody was eager to leave. Liu Hongcai directly arranged for them to stay in the courtyard of Liu Bo's place, planning to take Liu Bo and Liu Ze back to Xiangmu Village together tomorrow.
If someone else were to look at this, they would think the Liu family was being severely disrespectful. An esteemed County Magistrate, with a wife making a fortune, and yet they sent the elderly to live in the countryside at someone else's house!
They didn't even keep their own son nearby. It's simply the behavior of a stepfather and stepmother!
But when it comes to the Liu family, it seems perfectly normal.
If Liu Bo was really made to stay at home, he would be even more displeased.
