Yan Jiu had good reason for saying that; she had calculated that Zhong Heng was a member of the Zhong family, which was also located in the capital, just like the Chu family.

If Zhong Heng was her master's former name, then before her master changed his name to Zhong Yan, she indeed wouldn't have been able to calculate any information. Of course, she also couldn't possibly have figured out her master's intentions.

Either way.

She inherited her master's lineage.

Naturally, I'm considered half a member of the Zhong family.

When you do the math...

Zhong Heng holds a high position in the Zhong family.

Her seniority must also rise accordingly.

Although Yan Jiu was not entirely certain that Zhong Heng was her master Zhong Yan, it did not stop her from elevating her own seniority in her heart.

no way.

It's better to be superior than inferior.

That's how good she is at "shrewd calculations"!

The Chu family had no idea what Yan Jiu was thinking.

They just thought Yan Jiu had gone mad.

Aunt Chu's face suddenly turned cold: "Do you even know what kind of family the Zhong family is? You dare to presume to associate with them? Even I wouldn't dare... Yan Jiu, let me tell you, if your childish words drag the Chu family down with you, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

There are not many long-established families in the capital.

But the Zhong family is definitely top-notch.

Unlike the Chu, Liu, and Li families, the Zhong family consists entirely of Xuanmen inheritors.

These people's rise to wealth was not based on mundane things at all.

They relied on their feng shui skills in finding auspicious burial sites.

The Chu family is wealthy and powerful, but compared to the Zhong family, who are masters of feng shui, they seem insignificant.

No one understands the mysteries of the universe better than those in positions of power.

That is something that can only be encountered by chance.

You can't find them without knowing the ropes.

The Zhong family is the only family they know of that travels between the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) and the outside world.

Chu Lixiong also said, "Xiao Jiu is a child who likes to joke. It's fine to say such things at home, but don't do it outside."

Yan Jiu: Nothing to lament.jpg

Chu Chu: "..." You probably don't know what netizens call my sister behind my back!

Third Aunt Chu scolded, "Who do you think you are? The Zhong family doesn't value the status of the eldest daughter of the Chu family. If Mr. Zhong Heng knew that the Chu family had you, he probably wouldn't agree to it either..."

She left the rest of her sentence unfinished.

When talking about Zhong Heng.

Chu Sangu's eyes were full of admiration.

This caused Yan Jiu to fall into deep thought.
