The closer one gets to the Sheng family, the denser the black aura becomes. Living there for an extended period will cause one's body to visibly weaken.

The first to show signs of illness was Grandma Sheng. Sheng Qing mentioned that Grandma had been feeling unwell lately. She had seen several doctors, and after the examinations, they all said there was nothing wrong, she was just tired and needed to rest.

However, even though Grandma Sheng gets enough sleep every day, she still feels tired.

Old Master Sheng planned to have Gu Lizhu come and check on his wife after the Fu family finished their medical check-up. "Take a look," he said, "there's nothing there at all."

Gu Wanwan walked to the gate of the Sheng family and saw a small chrysanthemum mark on the doorplate.

She understood immediately, and when she probed inside with her divine sense, she indeed discovered quite a few things.

"Sheng Qing, prepare some shovels and other tools; we're about to start work."

Sheng Qing understood his sister-in-law's implication: something terrible was probably buried beneath the Sheng family's land.

Just then, Aunt Feng heard the noise and came out of the living room. "Mr. Sheng, you're back! What brings you here..."

She stopped herself from saying anything more.

Sheng Chuxuan leaned close to Gu Wanwan's ear and whispered, "She's Aunt Feng, whom Mom hired a year ago. I heard she's a distant relative of Mom's, and her background is quite pitiful. Grandpa and Dad investigated her and confirmed that there were no problems before letting her stay in the Sheng family."

"Sister Feng's cooking skills are pretty good. She gets along very well with my mother and is quite good at taking care of the Sheng family. Recently, my grandmother has not been feeling well, and she and my mother have been taking care of her. However, I get the feeling that she is biased towards Qin Feifei. She treats Qin Feifei very well, regards her as the young mistress of the Sheng family, and spoils her just like my mother."

"She really wanted my brother to marry Qin Feifei, and she said many good things about Qin Feifei to my brother. My brother told her off a few times, but she didn't take it seriously. Instead, she acted like an elder, as if my brother was a heartless man if he didn't marry Qin Feifei."

"In my opinion, Aunt Feng is two-faced. I don't like her at all. She's too self-righteous, but my mother values ​​her."

Old Master Sheng began by introducing her, "This is Old Master Gu's granddaughter, Gu Wanwan, who is also considered my granddaughter."

When Aunt Feng's gaze fell on Gu Wanwan and her niece, she was momentarily stunned and repulsed. "So it's Miss Gu. I've heard so much about you. Sir, please come in first. I'll go make some tea."

Her expression reacted quickly, but Gu Wanwan still easily caught it.

Wow, the Sheng family is getting more and more interesting. What a hidden gem!

"Wan Ning and I will help you."

Sister Feng said with a forced smile, "There's no rule about letting guests do things. You're a distinguished guest, so please feel free to tell me what you need. Don't be so polite with me."

Gu Wanwan didn't stand on ceremony with her and immediately instructed her, "In that case, I'd like to trouble Aunt Feng to go out and run an errand for me and buy three roast ducks."

Aunt Feng twitched her lips. She was just saying it politely, but Gu Wanwan actually took it seriously. After all, she was a distant relative of Madam Sheng, yet she dared to treat her like a servant she could dismiss at will.

"I really want to help you, but what about the old lady..."

Grandma Cheng helped Gu Wanwan send Aunt Feng away, saying, "I'll keep an eye on things. I'll talk to my little sister. You go and buy some. Go to the most famous shop in Beijing. If you go late, you'll have to wait in line. Buy two, no, buy six. There are so many people in our family who need to eat."

Aunt Feng frowned. In their eyes, there was no such thing as 'politeness'. She secretly wondered what reason she should find to stay. She couldn't leave the Sheng family's house even for a moment.
