After Yue Dewen calmed down, he noticed his youngest son huddled in the chair, a look of disappointment flashing in his eyes. "You'd better stay home and not go anywhere."

"Yes, Father."

Yue Dewen walked out of his study, stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, sighed silently, and looked up at the white clouds drifting in the sky. Gradually, the clouds in his eyes coalesced into familiar faces...

Under his gaze, those faces slowly became ferocious. Some roared at him, some looked mocking, and some bared their teeth and claws at him, as if they might pounce down at any moment.

"Get out, all of you get out! I'm not afraid of you..."

Yue Dewen waved his arms in the courtyard, looking up in horror at a certain spot in the sky.

When the housekeeper arrived, he saw that his master was in a state of utter derangement and immediately rushed over, "Master, Master, what's wrong with you?"

Yue Dewen was pulled by the butler's arm, and his mind immediately jolted. He realized that he was standing in the courtyard. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked up at the white clouds floating in the sky, and saw no ferocious face.

Thinking of those who kept him up at night, Yue Dewen couldn't help but clench his fist. Yue Qirui, so what if you're unwilling? The Yue family is mine now.

The butler stood trembling to the side, watching the landlord exude a chilling aura, trying his best to minimize his presence.

"What is it?" Yue Dewen calmed himself down and stared at the butler's head.

"Reporting to Master, the assassins dispatched by the young master have not come out of the Maple Bridge Restaurant since they entered the building."

"Understood. Send spies to investigate and see who the young master has offended." Although their Yue family has not been in Jiang County for long, anyone who wants to bully them will have to see if he agrees.

"Yes, I will have someone investigate immediately." The steward bowed and withdrew. Ever since the young master and young lady were ruined, the master of the mansion has become increasingly unfathomable.

Mo Lan and her servant spent the entire day in the courtyard conserving their energy, preparing to embark on their path to wealth, completely unaware that danger was already lurking.

When it was time for dinner, Tingyu from next door came over and said, "Miss Molan, my young master said that if you are sober, he would like to invite you to have dinner with us."

"knew."

It's perfectly normal for friends to have a meal together, so Mo Lan agreed without hesitation.

When Mo Lan saw the various dishes laid out on the table, her eyes lit up immediately. She had been starving after drinking a bellyful of congee. There were her favorite river crabs, both steamed and braised, which she still loved.

"Are you feeling unwell from the hangover?" Qin Su looked at Mo Lan, and seeing that she looked energetic, she should be fine now.

"A little wine, that's all." Mo Lan sat opposite him, waving her hand dismissively. Qin Su shook his head. She couldn't even walk straight, yet she didn't care. She was truly carefree.

Thinking about what this woman had done last night, Qin Su suddenly felt heartbroken. Compared to the understanding noble ladies of Liangjing, this woman was simply not a woman.

Today, apart from the yellow wine dipping sauce to accompany the river crabs, Qin Su didn't prepare any wine at all. The two of them quietly ate the crabs and picked out the fish bones, enjoying their meal immensely. It took them almost half an hour to leave the table.

After sitting back down on the soft couch, Qin Su poured her more tea before placing a stack of papers in front of her. "This is the information about the surrounding shipyards. Take a look, choose a suitable one, and place an order."
