“Grandpa Bao!” Yu Wan never expected to meet Chef Bao, whom she had not seen for a long time, so far away. She thought that she would never see him again in her life.
Yu Wan was extremely shocked. After seeing her reaction and hearing her call him Chef Bao, the rest of the people’s reactions were not any better than hers. They were escaping when an old man suddenly rushed out. Were he and Yu Wan old acquaintances?
“What’s going on?” Zhou Yuyan asked Shadow Six softly.
Shadow Six shook his head. “I don’t know. I just think this old man looks familiar. Thirteen?
Shadow Thirteen’s gaze fixed on Chef Bao’s face. He also vaguely felt that it was familiar, but he couldn’t remember who this person was for a while. He thought that they shouldn’t have interacted seriously with him, but why did he feel that he looked familiar?
Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen did not know, let alone Zhou Yuyan and Mu
Qing. Although Grandma and Old Cui had stayed in Lotus Flower Village, when Chef Bao appeared in Lotus Flower Village, Old Cui was in the neighboring village. Grandma was on the way to the Great Zhou, so they did not meet.
As for Yan Jiuchao, he had never seen Chef Bao before. At that time, he had just reunited with the three little lads and did not know that Yu Wan was their mother, so he did not pay special attention to the commotion in Lotus Flower Village.
A large group of people looked at Chef Bao with wide eyes.
Chef Bao did not pay much attention to the others, but he saw Yan Jiuchao, who was intertwined with Yu Wan.
He frowned. Then, he realized that Yu Wan was pregnant. When he left Lotus Flower Village, Wan was still an unmarried young lady. Why did she marry someone else in less than a year and was about to become a mother?
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the three little black eggs twisted down from Shadow Thirteen and the others’ arms and ran to Yu Wan’s side. They grabbed the corner of Yu Wan’s clothes and looked at Chef Bao adorably.
“Mother, who is this old grandpa?” Er’bao asked curiously.
M-Mother?
Chef Bao gasped. So she was not about to become a mother, but she was already a mother?
Chef Bao looked at the three little black eggs and then at Yan Jiuchao, who was carved from the same mold as the three little eggs. A terrifying thought flashed across his mind—his Wan girl… had become someone’s stepmother?!
“The pursuers are here!” Shadow Thirteen reminded them.
Chef Bao frowned and brought them into his courtyard. The rich fragrance of wine wafted over. Yu Wan looked around in shock. “Grandpa Bao, are you making wine?”
“I opened a small tavern and have nothing to do. I only provide it to a few restaurants and don’t sell it.” Chef Bao smiled.
Footsteps and the clamor of guards searching from house to house came from outside the courtyard. Chef Bao lifted the curtain of the central room and said to them, “You guys go in first. There’s a room in the backyard. You can stay in whichever room you like.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the Second Madam in Dawa’s arms and the Sorcerer King on Mu Qing’s back. Obviously, their situation was very bad. The man was seriously ill, and the woman… seemed to be dead.
Chef Bao did not say anything else and asked them to hurry in. He dusted his sleeves and strode forward to open the courtyard door.
A guard was about to knock on the door when he saw the courtyard door open by itself. The guard put down his hand and asked him coldly, “Let me ask you, did you see a few men and a few women pass by just now? One of the women was shot!”
Chef Bao shook his head. “I didn’t see anyone who was shot, but I saw an injured one.”
“What clothes are they wearing?”
“Apricot-colored. It looked very luxurious, but there were some bloodstains,” Chef Bao said with a reminiscent expression. “They came to me to buy a jar of the strongest wine. I said that my wine was not saleable, so they held a sword to my neck. ”
When the guard heard this, he immediately became vigilant. The woman had been shot by an arrow, so the strongest wine was probably used to treat her wound.
The guard asked, “Where did they go?”
“They bought a jar of wine, threw me a silver ingot, and left,” Chef Bao said as he took out an ingot with the Great Zhou’s official seal.
Even the money did not belong to the Sorcerer Clan. The guard was certain that it was that group of spies.
“In which direction?” The guard asked.
“I think it’s that way.” Chef Bao pointed in the direction where Yu Wan and the others had come from.
The guard frowned. “That way? We came from that side…” “Big Brother! We found their carriage!” A companion shouted..
