“Yeah, it is similar. It makes people’s hearts turn cold. Actually, there’s no big deal about a noble family. It’s better to be a commoner and just live our lives peacefully and quietly.”

“Not everyone understands this. Everyone still clamors to get into the good books of those noble families.”

“I find it so strange. Miss Lu clearly said before that the Yuan family might have been involved in this. Why did nothing happen to the Yuan family?”

“Who knows…”

…

As everyone was talking about it fervently, the people in the Lu family were all ranting and raving. They hated Lu Suyan to death. They hated that they could not eat her flesh and drink her blood.

Lu Suyan naturally knew how much the Lu family hated her, so she had long hidden herself.

The Lu family’s misfortune had also shocked all the noble families in the capital. The Masters of these families started to hold emergency meetings and rolled out a series of family orders.

One of them was a strict order to their descendants not to stir trouble for no reason, and to especially stay far away from Yun Bixue.

Some people took these words seriously, but there were also some who did not give a damn and did not treat Yun Bixue as a threat.

…

In the Yuan family

When Yuan Shuangrui knew that one of her pawns, Ding Guangwei, had been captured and that Qin Huailing was still alive, she got so angry that she almost had a stroke.

She clearly had everything settled and made sure that nothing could go wrong. How did this happen?

She even planned perfectly for Qin Huailing to be killed by her men. How was he still alive?

Furthermore, the men she sent out could not find Qin Huailing no matter where they searched.

She was completely panicking right now. Qin Huailing might not know that she was responsible for what happened in his youth. However, for the assassination this time, Qin Huailing might really just suspect her.

If Qin Huailing went to find Han Mubai and tell him about this, what should she do?

Since she fell in love with Han Mubai, the thing she cared about the most was her marriage with the Han family. Nothing should go wrong, so she could not let Qin Huailing meet him.

Yuan Shuangrui immediately called over her most trusted subordinate. “Follow Han Mubai in secret and observe his surroundings. You must definitely not let Qin Huailing see Han Mubai. If you have news of Qin Huailing or if you see him around, don’t need to report to me. Just kill him on the spot.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Just as Yuan Shuangrui was about to continue making arrangements, the door to her secret chamber was kicked open.

“Who had the guts to barge in…”

The moment Yuan Shuangrui said this, she looked up and saw that it was the Old Lady, the matriarch of the family. She shuddered and immediately bowed as she said, “Grandma, I’m sorry. I didn’t know it was you!”

The Yuan family was helmed by this Old Lady. She called the shots in the family, and every word she said was like an edict to them.

The reason why she was named heir to the family instead of her father was also because of this Old Lady’s orders.

The Old Lady was very old, and her hair was all white. She supported herself with a walking stick, but her eyes remained sharp.

The moment she was glared at by this pair of eyes, Yuan Shuangrui could not help shuddering in fear deep down. “Grandma, I…”

“Shuangrui, you made Grandma very disappointed.”

Yuan Shuangrui suddenly looked up and said, “Grandma, what did I do to make you dissatisfied or unhappy?”

“Don’t think I don’t know about your car accident with Miss Lu. She actually bit the Yuan family in the back before you were discharged from the hospital. Can you say that this has got nothing to do with you?”

The Old Lady’s voice was very cold and calm, but it gave Yuan Shuangrui tremendous pressure.

“Grandma, I wasn’t aware of this. I will definitely go and check!”

“Hmph. You’re too focused on your love life. You have long forgotten about your responsibility to the Yuan family. Once the crime of smuggling firearms lands on the Yuan family, our family will end up just like the Lu family!” As she said that, she slammed her walking stick hard on the floor.
