Once we return to the Mu City, we'll send Jiu Jiu back to his former villa. With Shen Xiuyuan taking care of him, Mu Huainan and I will go meet up with An Fang.

Mu Huainan also wouldn't let me go. I insisted that I was Lady Mu, so how could I not go?

Everyone who came respectfully called me "Madam".

Since the incident with Wei Jian, everyone had understood that from then on, He An and the others only had one surname, Mu.

There were a lot of people in the courtyard. I watched as Wei Qing and his mother stood at the entrance of the courtyard from afar, arguing with the guards about something.

Wei Qing is Wei Jian's son, his mother is a rare sight to me, but even after seeing him a few times he still called his Madam Wei politely.

Ever since Wei Jian did that, the gangsters knew that the Wei family had a disappointing traitor, and He Anfang had always been ruthless towards the traitor. It could be seen from the looks of it that the mother and daughter of the Wei family were not doing well.

In the end, it was as a mother. I felt uncomfortable watching Little Wei Qing and her mother being bullied by the guards at the door.

He couldn't help but walk over.

"What are you doing?" I coldly asked the guard. When they saw that it was me, they hurriedly lowered their heads respectfully. "Madam, the Wei family's mother and son wish to enter."

"Then why did you block it?"

Although they were traitors, the Wei family had spent generations of effort to get along with An Fang, so it was unlikely they would let their families in.

"The hall master had instructed them to say that they had committed the crime of carrying Wei Jian, so in the future, they are not allowed to enter any large scale gatherings in An Fang.

"Who's the owner of the lobby now?"

He hadn't seen any newbies around with An Fang lately, but ever since Liang Yin's death, the seat of the Main Hall Master had always been vacant.

"Reporting to Madam, it's Hall Master Shen Xiuyuan Shen."

"I will bring him in." Since it's Shen Xiuyuan, I don't mind not giving him face.

If I don't give Shen Xiuyuan face, this guard would not dare not give me face.

"Since Madam has spoken, let the two of them enter."

I bent down to help them up, and asked Wei Qing in a soft voice.

"Did it hurt?"

Wei Qing was obviously a little afraid of me, and so was his mother. Madame Wei pulled her son and stood up, then respectfully bowed to me and said: "Thank you Madam."

"Let's go in first."

I led them in and found a table in the side hall. This table was filled with new arrivals from the year with An Fang. Young people aren't as rigid and dogmatic as the older generation. Naturally, they wouldn't be as harsh towards mother and son of the Wei family.

I've arranged for them to sit here, just so that the children can have a good meal.

Since the last time I saw Wei Qing, he had lost a lot of weight, and his mother had also aged quite a bit.

After settling me down, I was about to leave when Madame Wei stood up and called out to me.

"Madam, Qing and I are not here to eat."

I stopped and looked back at them.

Suddenly, with a plop, the mother pulled her son to his knees before me.

I was shocked, "Madam Wei, you are …" I hurried to help them up.

"Madam, please don't call me Madam Wei. I can't take it. Just call me Qing Xuan."

I remember that Madame Wei had a very nice surname, Bai. His name was Bai Qingxuan.

Once she married into the Wei family, she would no longer have her own name.

"If you have something to say, stand up and say it. I won't be able to take it if you all are to kneel like this."

"No, I owe you this. If it wasn't for you staying at He An Fan to protect Wei Qing that day, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to see him now. "

She was talking about what happened that day, the matter of the child being unable to control herself and firing at Mu Huainan.

With this mentioned, I still felt a little uncomfortable in my heart. After all, Mu Huainan had narrowly escaped death and was barely able to save his.

But luckily, the tragedy didn't happen, and I didn't want to blame it on a child.

He had just lost his father and was a poor man.

"It's all in the past now." I indifferently said, "Let him go once he passes. Stop mentioning it."

"Madam, I was not optimistic about my son at that time. If there is any crime in the future, please let me bear it myself. Please don't implicate my child, alright?"

After listening to all of this, I finally understood why they had come in this time.

"You are afraid that the Mr. Mou will not let Wei Qing go, so, you seek me out to plead for mercy?"

With bloodshot eyes, Bai Qingxuan quietly lowered her head, tacitly agreeing.

"Rest assured, Mr. Mou will not pursue this matter."

"Really?" Bai Qingxuan's eyes suddenly lit up as he asked me, "Mr. Mou has always hated traitors, he … Can he really let us go? "

I nodded.

"It's true that the Mr. Mou hates traitors, but he also likes children."

After I finished speaking, I looked at Wei Qing. He asked: "Wei Qing, do you still want to shoot Mr. Mou?"

The calm Wei Qing appeared to be very ordinary, and even somewhat stiff, completely lacking the coldness of the gun he used at that time. Before he could even react, the topic of conversation was immediately brought away by his mother, as she hurriedly answered in his stead.

"Wei Qing didn't know that it was Liang Yin who killed his father that day. It was only because he heard the gunshot and saw the blood on Mr. Mou's hands that he did such an impulsive thing.

"That's good." I rubbed the child's head. "Auntie is treating you to a cake today, okay?"

Wei Qing licked his lips and carefully nodded.

"Madam, we …" I patted her arm to signal for her to calm down.

"Stay behind to eat. This table is filled with newcomers. They won't make things difficult for you."

She looked at it, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Madam, I will definitely repay your kindness."

I smiled. It was just a simple gesture, how could it be considered a favor?

Therefore, I didn't really like greeting guests outside, so I just sat down and started chatting with them.

"Sister Bai, I remember calling you that the first time I saw you."

She smiled, a little embarrassed. "I didn't know who you were back then."

"It's the same now," I told her. I understand the rules set by the older generation, but seniority is very important, and that has nothing to do with status or status.

"According to the rules, I have to call you Sister Bai as well."

Bai Qingxuan quickly waved his hands, "Right now, He An Fang no longer has the right to speak with the Wei Clan. All rules must be followed according to the arrangements made by the Mr. Mou."

I didn't hear the disapproval in her voice, but she hurried to explain.

"I didn't mean that."

She lowered her head. "I am not dissatisfied, just … "However, I understand the rules of He Anfang."

"I heard someone say that you grew up together with Wei Jian, right?"

Bai Qingxuan nodded.

"I was sent to He An Fang since I was young, and grew up with him. Afterwards, it was natural for me to get married."

"That's why you know more about He Fang's rules than I do. "Sister Bai."

I even called her Big Sister Bai because she was in the same boat with An Fang. It could be said that she was about the same as Mu Huainan.

In the past few years, Sister Bai had been working diligently in the square, she had never been like the other madams, spouting nonsense. She would be herself, all these years, if it were not for her husband's incompetence. She might still be safe and sound.

Not knowing why, all year long, Big Sister Bai would always be by Wei Jian's side, yet she didn't have the arrogant and condescending attitude of her husband. Instead, she kept a low profile, calm and collected appearance, which made her seem like she had a story.

Right now, I'm being polite to her. Aside from feeling sorry for them, and more importantly, because Sister Bai has been in the market for a long time, many old people like her and don't like him showing off. After all, right now, the Wei family only has this kind of person.

And I just hope.

I looked at Sister Bai seriously and said to him, "I hope that our two families can have fun and help each other out."

Bai Qingxuan probably didn't expect me to be so magnanimous, and forgave the mother and son duo. There was a few seconds of shock in her eyes, but she quickly nodded her head.

"Thank you Madam, thank you so much."

"Then you take care of the child. I'll send someone over to deliver the cake to Wei Qing later."

"Madam, there's no need to trouble yourself."

"That's what I promised him."

"Wei Qing, thank you Madam."

"Thank you Madam."

After settling them down, almost everyone had arrived. Mu Huainan only appeared when everyone sat down and quieted down.

I knew that he had never liked so many people, and that a man of a cold disposition was naturally weary of dealing with such situations.

After casually saying a few words, he announced something that everyone knew.

I am now the Owner's wife.

I'm going to have to say a few words about that.

The banquet had just begun after he finished with his usual words. The representatives from the various halls in the country were almost enough to fill the several hundred square meters of the courtyard up to the size of a chair.

It was really hard to imagine just how frightening He An's power was.

Mu Huainan hastily returned to his room after meeting with everyone. I followed him in, planning to accompany him when one of his subordinates came over and handed me a small gift box.

I frowned and opened it.

He only saw a few words.

"Marriage invitation. Groom Master: Peng Haobai. Bride: Luo Ta. "

Inside the box was a square, transparent box. Inside was a picture of a chocolate sculpture. It's me.

This is probably the most extravagant wedding present I've ever seen.

"Who asked you to give it to me?"

"I don't know him. Someone get out of the car by the door and tell me to give this to you."

"The car by the door? Is it still there? "

"I don't know. He was still here when I came to look for you."

I lifted my leg and walked out, but Mu Huainan stopped me in the house.

"An'an."

I looked back. He walked over and placed the object in front of him.

"Peng Haobai is getting married."

Mu Huainan did not say anything, but quietly took out the chocolate from the box and placed it in his mouth.

I want a piece of my earlobe.

Then he frowned, as if he had eaten something bad.

"It's fake."

When I was young, I liked to call poor quality chocolate fake chocolate. Because I was used to it, the chocolate was made by the best designer. The most common brand of chocolate is fake.

That was why Mu Huainan said that.

"It's fake."
