After a long silence without a response, Huo Chanyi asked in confusion, "Ah Ci, are you still there?"
"Hmm."
Huo Chanyi sensed sothing was off, "What’s wrong? You can tell if you have any worries, I’ll help you solve them."
Huo Chanyi was like a counselor in her life, ng Junci always confided in her.
"Do you know Ji Yunya?" ng Junci asked quietly.
"Ji Yunya? The na sounds familiar, are you referring to that young CEO of the Ji Group?"
"Yes, that’s her."
"Why did you suddenly ntion her, did sothing happen?"
ng Junci sighed, "Yan Ke doesn’t have a fiancée, but Yan Song does. Just today, Third Lady announced it to all the guests herself."
Huo Chanyi imdiately said, "Is Ji Yunya Yan Song’s fiancée?"
ng Junci was silent.
Huo Chanyi was shocked inside, she hadn’t expected that Ji Yunya was engaged to Yan Song, and despite the mismatch, Third Lady agreed to it.
"It’s a bit unexpected, but on second thought, it seems quite reasonable."
"How do you say that?"
"Think about it, Yan Nanmo has been the mayor of Jiangzhou for more than ten years, and the Yan brothers grew up in Jiangzhou. Ji Yunya is also from Jiangzhou. The Ji Family is the top family in Jiangzhou, so they must have had interactions with the mayor. It’s no surprise that Ji Yunya knows Yan Song. Yan Song has an eminent family background and is handso and smart, and Ji Yunya has money and beauty; it makes sense that they got together. I don’t know what thod Ji Yunya used to win over Third Lady, but to have such a picky person acknowledge her, she’s certainly not to be underestimated, soone with deep thoughts." Huo Chanyi analyzed thoroughly.
After talking for a while, she suddenly realized sothing, "Ah Ci, since Yan Ke doesn’t have a fiancée, why are you unhappy? Is it because of Ji Yunya? Or because...."
ng Junci quickly said, "What are you thinking?"
"I hope I’m overthinking it. You and Yan Ke still have a chance, but with such a sister-in-law, you’re in for it in the future."
ng Junci gritted her teeth, "Chanyi, do you have friends in Jiangzhou?"
"Why?"
"Can you ask your friends in Jiangzhou to investigate Ji Yunya for ? Is she really as perfect as they say online? I have so uncertainties, Chanyi, please help ."
"I have a close friend who moved to Jiangzhou, I’ll ask her."
"Hmm, thank you, Chanyi."
After hanging up the phone, a trace of coldness flashed in ng Junci’s eyes. She didn’t believe anyone could be so perfect. Once she found leverage against Ji Yunya...
Her stomach rumbled at the right mont, and ng Junci headed to the kitchen to find sothing to eat. As she passed her mother’s room, she seed to hear her on the phone. ng Junci pressed her ear against the door but couldn’t hear anything because of the good soundproofing.
After grabbing sothing to eat downstairs, when she ca back up, Lady ng was standing at the room’s door waiting for her. As she approached, Lady ng turned and went into the room.
ng Junci followed her in and closed the door behind her.
"I’ve already heard about it from your aunt. Your aunt and I have discussed and decided to comply with your wishes and let you get engaged to Yan Ke."
Yesterday, hearing this news would have driven her crazy with happiness. But at this mont, she couldn’t feel happy at all, even feeling cold in her limbs.
Lady ng noticed her strange expression and asked, "What’s wrong? Why do you look so unwell?"
ng Junci composed herself, lowered her eyes to hide her unusual deanor from her mother, and said indifferently, "I’ll listen to whatever you and Aunt say."
Lady ng walked to her side and gently patted her on the head, "Don’t worry, Mom will fulfill your wishes."
Fulfill her wishes? Her wish was no longer as simple as marrying Yan Ke.

Lu Mingzhu’s room was right next to Lu Yuke’s, cramped and without the design and arrangent of the West Warm Pavilion, making her feel very uncomfortable and causing her to sleep poorly.
When she woke up in the morning, she rubbed her sore back as she sat up. The bed was too hard, nearly breaking her back.
Actually, this room was ant for the servants, but since no guest room was available temporarily, Lu Yuke let her stay here for the ti being.
Swearing internally, Lu Mingzhu rubbed her back and got out of bed. At this mont, Aunt Cui called from outside the door, "Miss Mingzhu, are you awake?"
"Hmm."
Hearing the response, Aunt Cui pushed open the door. When she suddenly looked up and saw Lu Mingzhu’s face, she was wide-eyed in shock, "Oh my god...."
Lu Mingzhu frowned, feeling a sudden bad premonition, "What’s wrong?" She instinctively raised her hand to touch her face and felt a layer of tiny bumps, evenly distributed like grains of sand. Lu Mingzhu’s heart skipped a beat, "What is this?"
