With no one causing trouble, the drinking was much more enjoyable.
Drunk and cowardly, Feng Gan, relying on his drunkenness, walked to Xue Jiang's table and became completely intoxicated.
Finally, he was tricked by Wan Qiqi again, not only selling Xue Jiang's table, but also paying for the other two tables in the martial arts school.
So later Wan Qiqi welcomed Feng Gan quite a bit, as he would always bring her money whenever he came.
That night, Wu Gousheng returned from Baizhi Town and brought Wan Qiqi news of the Xie and Pei families.
The Xie family is considered a prominent family, with ancestors who served as officials but were later demoted to Yunhe County. They then started doing business and settled in Baizhi Town.
Their initial business rivals were the Pei family!
Although the Pei family was not as prominent as the Xie family, they were merchants with a century of business experience, and "Eight Directions Guests" was a long-established restaurant in Yunhe County.
The Xie family's operation of the restaurant directly clashed with the Pei family, and they even used the power of the government at the time to fight against the Pei family.

The Xie family also switched to trading in jade, cloth, and other commodities, and established a stable presence in Baizhi Town.

When he went to inquire, he also heard that Madam Pei was restricted from leaving the house by Pei Shi'an and was being kept at home.
Wan Qiqi suddenly realized that Pei Shi'an was not lying, and that everything might really have nothing to do with him, but was all done by his wife!
Recalling the case, Wan Qiqi felt a chill run down her spine. No wonder Xie Xing was so resourceful; he had known all the answers all along.
However, Xie Xing probably didn't expect that Pei Shi'an would personally help Pei Yuan confess his crimes and be brought to justice.
At the same time, Wu Gousheng also mentioned some news...
Feng Gan and Xie Xing knew each other and had a close relationship.
Wan Qiqi believed that Xie Xing looked down on Feng Gan, but why waste manpower that was offered to him?
