Chapter 1120: Forming Family Ties

Su Ke listened intently, careful not to inadvertently break any taboos and cause trouble. But halfway there, Xue Qian unexpectedly got off the carriage.

"Eh, didn't we agree to discuss the palace examination questions together?" Su Ke protested.

"Let's do it another day. This young master must face what needs to be faced, and the days ahead seem to be bleak!" Xue Qian said, full of emotion.

Before leaving, he turned around to whisper in his ear, "Don't blame your brother for not warning you. Uncle Lei is a decent man, diligent in his work, but a tad too keen on rank and wealth. It seems he's taken a liking to you as his son-in-law. You'll just have to pray for good fortune!"

After saying this, he left with a loud laugh.

Left behind, Su Ke's face darkened immediately.

But Xue Qian ran off so quickly and Su Ke couldn't call him back in time before he disappeared into the bustling crowd.
