"Then their connections are our connections, right? Am I smart or what? This is like getting something for nothing, without spending a dime."

She arrogantly lifted her head, already assuming the role of the Ji Family’s junior daughter-in-law.

Ling Kong silently watched her, astonished by her comment about not spending a dime; this girl was really too naive.

Were the Ji Family that easy to fool? She wanted to be related by marriage, but she’d have to sell herself to him; what a silly girl, she thought she had gotten a bargain.

Thinking this, a sly smirk crept onto his face.

After Ye Lu laughed, she didn’t take it to heart, after all, it was just a child’s naive statement.

Each child is blessed in their own right; that can be figured out later, what’s most important right now is...

"You two little rascals, get ready, we are going back to the Hua family!" Her eyes filled with fighting spirit, she wanted to reveal her identity to the world, and from then on, as a member of the Hua family, duel with Father Yiren.

And this identity-revealing banquet would be the first battlefield of smoke and gunpowder.

...

In N Nation, Yiren, frustrated by the failed capture of Ye Lu and the loss of her whereabouts.

She thought that knowing the woman’s identity would allow her to capture her in one fell swoop, yet the plan had failed, and now she didn’t even know her location, causing a strong unease to grow in her heart.

She always felt that something was going to happen.

Then, after receiving a call from Hua Lunxi, he mentioned that the Hua family was going to host a grand banquet, which exactly was to announce the identity of the Hua family heir.

Yiren’s eyes lit up, her mood greatly lifted.

Although the Hua family had recognized her identity, they had never formally introduced her to all the prestigious families of high society, and she always felt that Hua Lunxi and his son still had doubts about her identity, so they had been dragging their feet.

Hmph, now it was finally going to be made public.

Forget about Ye Lu for now, the most important thing is to establish my position in the Hua family, and my identity in the eyes of high society and the public.

Everything is about precedence, once her role as the daughter of the Hua family is deeply rooted in people’s hearts, if Ye Lu comes out to challenge her later, it will be like a bastard child trying to take over the legitimate daughter’s position, which will be despised by others.

"Father, he... he’s awake," Mason reported the condition of Third Young Master Jun daily, and today finally brought news of his awakening.

Su Feiman frowned, "Is there a problem? Why that odd look on your face?"

Mason sighed, "When he woke up, his expression was very painful, constantly struggling in bed, even tearing up the blankets. Those symptoms..."

He paused, then continued.

"When we found him, we also found some morphine nearby."

"He got into drugs?" Su Feiman was very surprised because he knew this godson’s character; the king never touches these things, and he had enough willpower not to.

"Yes, his urine test came back positive. Although the morphine wasn’t very pure, he had used quite a lot, and it seems like he is having a reaction now, and it’s not just the addiction acting up, I guess, his own illness is also compounding the pain."

Su Feiman pondered for a moment, then let out a cryptic chuckle through his nose.

"It seems I was not wrong to frame him; this time, he can’t wash this away. Having really become an addict, how can he escape my control now? Let’s go, I want to go see him, and yes, bring Lie Feng too."

Upon arriving in the room where ThirdYoung Master Jun was sitting, seeing him emaciated, covered in cold sweat, pale-faced, bleeding from the corners of his eyes, and confused and in tremendous pain as he struggled on the bed.

Yet, a few soldiers forcefully held him down, preventing him from attacking or harming himself.

Today’s update is complete.
