Mu Anhan laughed, "Tong Tong, people change. You also said, I’m Mrs. Gu. If I’m not a bit more assertive, wouldn’t I be letting down the title of Mrs. Gu, right?"
"Exactly! Mrs. Gu is mighty!" Xue Xiangtong instantly beca her little fangirl.
Mu Anhan patted her head, "Good girl! Mrs. Gu’s got you covered!"
The two laughed and joked, completely out of place with today’s banquet, but having a close friend around made it easier to pass the ti.
...
In a secluded garden.
Qin Ye Peng and Pei Wei stood facing each other under the dim lights.
"Bro, why do you think that guy with the surna Gu brought his wife along today? Is he up to sothing?"
Pei Wei brushed aside so branches, "Can’t understand it now. Logically, since his wife once cheated on him with Zhou Jingyi, he wouldn’t co to give blessings!"
"I think so too." Qin Ye Peng nodded, "How’s it going with taking down the Feng family to seize the oil market?"
"The Feng family is like a stubborn rock in a latrine, both stinky and hard." Pei Wei expressed so irritation as he spoke.
Qin Ye Peng mused, "You told to get close to that manly woman Xue, but it seems useless? She never shares the affairs between her and Mu Anhan with !"
"Brother, that’s because you’re not close enough yet. If your relationship becos more intimate..." Pei Wei said with a wicked smile on his lips. He put his arm around Qin Ye Peng’s shoulder, "Won need guidance. Once you’ve trained her well, you just need a look, and they’ll know exactly what you want and obey."
Qin Ye Peng lacked experience, but Pei Wei was a veteran in these matters, always keeping an eye on different potential opportunities.
"I’ll listen to you, Bro." Qin Ye Peng also put his arm around his shoulder.
...
A secret guest room.
Feng Ruixiang quietly left the main hall and ca here.
He pushed the door open and saw the witch performing a ritual.
"Master, how is it?"
The witch chanted mysterious spells, and after a while, said, "Master Feng, your recent business is declining because your family has been tainted by sothing you shouldn’t have..."
"Is there a solution?" Feng Ruixiang asked imdiately.
The matter with the oil was still locked in a stalemate with Pei Wei, as it depended on who could hold out longer.
"Well..."
The witch seed a bit hesitant.
"Money is not an issue," Feng Ruixiang quickly stated.
The witch shook her head, "This isn’t about money. The impurity is among the people at tonight’s banquet. I’ll identify them when the ti cos. I ask for your cooperation, Master Feng."
"Of course." Feng Ruixiang nodded.
After a mont’s thought, he added, "Do you already know who it is?"
"The secrets of heaven cannot be divulged, I’m sorry, Master Feng." The witch had an air of mystery, as if saying no more.
"I’ll wait." Feng Ruixiang didn’t press further.
A week ago, he was introduced to this witch from Southeast Asia through a friend. It’s said she works wonders, whether for fertility or business prosperity, she can turn crises into blessings.
So, he placed his hope in her.
The engagent party finally started under everyone’s anticipation.
Feng Siling wore a long white dress, her engagent gown, looking joyfully at Zhou Jingyi beside her.
Zhou Jingyi wasn’t sure why his eyelid kept twitching...
