"We've been chosen. We're going to infiltrate the Qiao family smoothly."
As soon as Song Guangdi and Song Qijin returned to the inn, they happily announced the good news to everyone.
The Song family stared at the two people they couldn't recognize at all, but felt that their voices, expressions, and temperaments were very familiar.
"Who are you? Why are you barging into our family's home and saying such nonsensical things?"
Yes, Song Guangdi and Song Qijin have been completely transformed. One has shaved his head, and the other has been burned with scars. They are both wearing unfamiliar masks.
"This is my father, and this is my eldest cousin," Song Dujuan said with a mysterious smile.
Living together day and night, the Song family members didn't recognize each other, let alone Qiao Lian'er.
Her family's reaction gave her even more confidence.
The Song family only now learned of Song Dujuan's arrangements. The reason Song Dujuan hadn't mentioned it before was that it wasn't appropriate to reveal it before the matter was settled.
"It means that the second brother and Qi Jin will go into the Qiao family first, and then drag us in one by one," Song Fusheng said.
“That’s right. Once they’ve established a firm footing, things will go much more smoothly,” Song Dujuan said. “Otherwise, having too many people at the beginning could easily arouse Qiao Lian’er’s suspicion.”
Song Fusheng puffed on his pipe again, which contained horse feed he had picked up from the inn's stable. Amidst the acrid smoke, a longing expression appeared on his face.
Indeed, how could Qiao Lian'er have imagined entering the Qiao family in this way? By the time she realized what was happening, it was too late.
At that time, the entire Song family will be attached to the Qiao family. Regardless of age or generation, they will all eat and live there, sharing both prosperity and adversity.
"Good, that's how we should sneak in unnoticed and catch Qiao Lian off guard." Song Guangtian laughed smugly, "She's been trying so hard to hide and guard against us, but she never expected that our Dujuan could come up with such a good idea."
"By the way, Dujuan, why do you want us to sign a death contract?" Song Qijin asked.
“A death contract means forming a long-term relationship with the Qiao family, which is the only way to ensure stability,” Song Dujuan said.
“But I seem to have heard that with a death contract, one completely loses their freedom, and their life and death are decided by the master.” Madam Wei frowned: “If we are controlled by Qiao Lian’er because of this, it may not be a blessing, but a curse.”
Song Dujuan shook her head: "Sister-in-law, you don't need to worry about this. Once the Song family members have all infiltrated, we will announce that we are related to the Qiao family. We will let all the high-ranking families in the capital know that the Qiao family actually enslaved their relatives in this way. Under pressure, for the sake of their reputation, they will cancel the death contract, but they will still have to settle us properly."
"Whether we forgive them or not will be up to us then." She gave a sly smile.
“Alright, then we’ll wait.” Song Qimu’s eyes lit up: “Big brother, second uncle, after you go in, don’t forget to grab some benefits and share them with us, so that those of us who are temporarily outside can also enjoy that kind of good fortune.”
Song Qijin laughed heartily and patted Song Qimu on the shoulder.
"What's the rush? They're all going to go in eventually. When that happens, they'll reap countless benefits."
"If that's all there is to it, then that's really unambitious." Song Dujuan curled her lips into a smile.
The Song family members all looked at her, clearly not understanding what she meant.
"What we want to do is not to be parasitic or dependent, but to usurp the Qiao family's nest and take control of everything in the Qiao family."
"So all these years, Qiao Lian'er has been working hard for us."
The Song family was even more motivated and full of expectations.
The status and resources that the Qiao family had worked so hard to obtain were rightfully taken by them because of their kinship ties. This is what is meant by doing something for someone else's benefit.
