The old man laughed and said,
"Lady Jia is indeed fortunate; it's been so many years since she married, and her brothers still think of her so fondly..."
Gu Shi Yi chuckled and replied,
"We all grew up in the same village, bare-bottomed buddies. The Jia Brothers' sister is like my own sister. No matter how long she's been married, we're all one family!"
The old man nodded,
"Good, good... good child!"
After they finished their noodles at the old man's place and Gu Shi Yi had given a few extra coins, the old man watched as he led the horse and his wife into an alleyway. With their backs to the old man, they whispered,
"Something's... not right about this!"
Pu Yanlan also realized and nodded,
"It does seem a bit off. According to the old man, that young man is Jia Zhihao, but Jia Zhihao never mentioned this when we descended the mountain before... Besides, how did he leave the mountain over the past few months?"
