“It won’t make sense, Uncle Sheng. No matter how much you try to persuade her, it’s all in vain. Madam Sheng is determined to bring her children and the Qin siblings together. Even if you disagree, she will still work with the Qin family to drug and scheme against her children, forcing them to have sex.” As she said this, Gu Wanwan looked at Sheng Zhuoting with an unfathomable expression. “Not only do Sheng Qing and his wife need to be wary, but I’m afraid Uncle Sheng, Brother Hantao, and even Grandpa and Grandma Sheng need to be wary as well.”

"The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light. We must be on guard. I believe Uncle Sheng has already noticed Madam Sheng's unusual behavior."

"Why does Madam Sheng insist on helping the Qin family? They've only known each other for a year, they're not even distant relatives. Even if they've been friends for decades, they've never been completely open with each other. Don't you have any doubts?"

"The first one is in cahoots with the enemy, the second one has something on Zhou Derong, and the third one is one of their own. Haven't you noticed that Madam Sheng visits the Qin family very frequently, as if she were her own kitchen? Qin Feifei is making all sorts of accusations against us, and Madam Sheng is on her way to confront us. She will be arriving at the 'battlefield' soon."

The first two were somewhat understandable, but the third was someone they knew, which puzzled the Sheng family.

Old Master Cheng knew the inside story, but walls have ears, so he couldn't say it outright. "Just be careful around your daughter-in-law and Aunt Feng. Otherwise, why would Wanwan give you the talisman necklace? Don't doubt its effectiveness. She'll remind you if there are any problems. In short, don't alert them."

"Brother Sheng, if you accidentally take off your necklace, you won't even know how you got poisoned."

Having experienced a fantastical scene, Old Master Sheng had dispelled his stubborn idea. "I understand now. There's a mole in the Sheng family, working together from the inside. I wouldn't feel at ease without the necklace. Fortunately, my other sons and grandsons are all away on business trips, minimizing the damage."

Even so, Grandma Sheng still asked Gu Wanwan for more life-saving necklaces, hoping that each member of the Sheng family would have one, so that they would have the confidence to fight back even if they encountered a certain Ju faction in the future.

Old Master Sheng didn't refuse again. He wasn't stupid enough to give the enemy another chance to strike. "Let's all adapt to the situation."

Gu Wanwan smiled faintly, looking at Sheng Zhuoting with a half-smile, "Uncle Sheng's charm remains undiminished. You'd better protect your chastity and not let Madam Sheng succeed. It was right that you didn't share a room with her!"

Grandma Cheng and Grandpa Cheng immediately chimed in, "They must keep their integrity and not betray Zhili."

Upon hearing this, the Sheng family was even more bewildered, as if Madam Sheng wasn't Ji Zhili.

Sheng Qing and Sheng Chuxuan knew that Wan Jie's words had a hidden meaning, and Grandma Sheng was also very puzzled. Wan Wan and her older sister were hiding something from them, but they hadn't explained it to their faces.

By the way, didn't my old friend just want her to go to the Cheng family to meet someone? Could it be that she can get the answer from that person?

“Hey sis, how about I come over to your place for a bit? I need to keep a close eye on you. Wanwan said you're in for some bloodshed. The century-old banyan tree in the third courtyard is going to fall. You can't be so foolish as to let your distant relative call you over.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than the second wife of the Cheng family came running to the Sheng family. “Mom, your relative came to urge you to join the mahjong game. I refused on your behalf, but she insisted on having one more person and that it had to be you. I told her you were away on a long trip, but she didn’t believe me.”

A moment later, the Sheng family's phone rang. Grandma Sheng answered the phone, and the person on the other end identified themselves first, then urgently summoned Grandma Cheng. Grandma Cheng was immediately bombarded with questions, "My dear sister, you have to take care of me. Is playing cards more important than my health? My dear sister, you have to stay with me these next few days. Once I'm better, we can go play cards again. Then, my sister and I will play cards with you to our hearts' content."

"What, is it not okay? Does it have to be today?"
