Hearing those two words, Mrs. Pei’s eyes rolled back, and she nearly fainted.

“Tsk, such a familiar technique,” Si Fuqing suddenly chuckled, her eyes narrowing. “It’s just a pity that after all these years, they haven’t improved at all. Truly useless.”

Pei Mengzhi didn’t understand but didn’t dare to ask.

“I’ll be taking this box,” Si Fuqing stood up. “The rest is up to you.”

Mrs. Pei trembled, hesitating to speak.

“Let me remind you of something,” Si Fuqing turned her head. “Who could be so familiar with your family’s layout?”

Mrs. Pei shuddered. “M-Master, do you mean… It’s a family member?!”

Si Fuqing didn’t respond. She slung her bag over her shoulder and lazily unlocked her bicycle. “I’m leaving.”

Pei Mengzhi wanted to stop her, but Mrs. Pei held him back. “The fact that the master came to inspect our home today is already a great mercy. Don’t push it any further.”

“But with the state our family is in…” Pei Mengzhi, despite being frustrated with Mrs. Pei, still wanted to save her since she was his mother.

Even though the renowned Master Miaoguang couldn’t help them, their only hope was Si Fuqing.

“Focus on staying alive for now,” Mrs. Pei said, regaining her composure. “I’ll talk to your father and figure out which branch of the family is behind this!”

“And take these cards,” she added, handing them to him. “Make sure to give them to Miss Si. I’ll also see if there’s anything valuable in our family’s heritage. Tomorrow morning, I’ll record a public apology video at the company.”

Si Fuqing wasn’t an ordinary person, and money alone couldn’t win her over.

Mrs. Pei hurried off after speaking.

Pei Mengzhi scratched his head. “The effects are that quick?”

It seemed all they did was chop down a few trees and rearrange some items, yet his mother’s demeanor had already improved significantly. She wasn’t yelling at him anymore.

Although his mother was a strong-willed woman, she had never been this irrational before.

It must have been related to the feng shui layout.

Frowning, Pei Mengzhi decided he had to investigate who was trying to harm their family.

The next day at noon.

Zuo Tianfeng returned to the Zuo family home.

Over the past month, he had become noticeably haggard, with dark circles under his eyes.

The company was in a critical state, and he had been preoccupied with organizing the funeral for the Zuo family’s Fourth Master. He barely had any time to rest.

Old Madam Zuo had just been discharged from the hospital and still looked unwell.

“Father, Grandma, that Liushan Temple is a total scam!” Zuo Qingya complained indignantly. “Yesterday, I went to seek advice from their so-called ‘Master Miaoguang,’ and do you know what he said?”

Old Madam Zuo, having heard of Master Miaoguang’s reputation, frowned. “What did he say? And watch your tone—don’t speak disrespectfully about the master.”

“He’s just a fraud! He knows nothing at all! Why should I respect him?” Zuo Qingya snorted coldly. “I kindly asked him what was wrong with me, and he said I took something that didn’t belong to me and it’s time to give it back. Then he even called me arrogant! How could I not be angry?”

Crash!

The teacup in Old Madam Zuo’s hand fell to the ground, her face instantly turning ashen.

“Grandma!” Zuo Xianyu rushed forward. “Are you alright?”

She then turned to scold Zuo Qingya. “Grandma just got out of the hospital! Can’t you hold your tongue for once?”

Zuo Qingya was startled. “I-I didn’t even say anything that bad!”

Why was Grandma reacting so strongly?

“No… no problem…” Old Madam Zuo’s expression was dazed. She quickly grabbed Zuo Qingya’s arm, anxiously asking, “Besides that, did Master Miaoguang say anything else?”

Zuo Qingya shrank her neck. “N-no, that’s it. After I called him a bald fraud, I got kicked out.”

As if all her strength had been drained, Old Madam Zuo slumped onto the sofa. “Impossible… This is impossible.”

She did know that Old Master Zuo brought Si Fuqing into their family solely to use her fortune to nurture the Zuo family.

Later, when she saw that the Zuo family’s business and other ventures were flourishing, she started to believe Old Master Zuo’s claims.

Old Master Zuo had once told her that Si Fuqing’s fortune would continue to benefit the family, even if she were dead, as long as she was buried in the family’s ancestral cemetery.

How could there now be signs of it being returned?

Old Madam Zuo suddenly looked sharply at Zuo Xianyu.
