Ji Yaxuan smiled as she moved among the guests, while also reminding the servants to make sure that everything that went into the mouth at the banquet was safe and sound.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked up to her. Her face, which resembled Rong Momo, was expressionless, but she was very respectful to Ji Yaxuan: "Madam, everything has been prepared as you instructed."
"Fifth Sister-in-law, thank you for everything you've done over the years. Don't worry, I, Ji Yaxuan, am not a heartless person."
Fifth Sister-in-law had a look of grim determination on her face. "Madam, you don't need to say anything. If it weren't for you, I would have died thirty years ago."
Ji Yaxuan smiled gently, "You and I are as close as sisters, let's not talk about this. The old man is out, you can go now."

She felt that Huo Zhenghong's gaze just now was like a knife. Did he find out something?
impossible.
Everyone who knew the truth was either dead or silenced. Fifth Sister-in-law was loyal to her and would never betray her.
Thinking about it this way, Ji Yaxuan's worry instantly dissipated; she had been overly nervous.
