Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

The heads of the Zhong and Fei families didn't realize that they were not paying attention, allowing Zhong Jing and Fei Yuning to discuss countermeasures with their friends right under their noses. Their plan to control the two of them had collapsed.

Logically speaking, Fei Yuning and Zhongjing were among the most outstanding talents in the family since they were able to pass the imperial examinations and should have been nurtured by the family.

However, they were used to ignoring people, thinking that they could still easily control the two of them, but they didn't know that the little guy's wings had already grown strong.

Judging from the results, Fei Yuning and Zhong Jing should be grateful for their neglect, which prevented them from being poisoned by their parents' lectures and allowed them to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the family without becoming puppets of the family.

As for whether they would suck their blood in the name of filial piety after they become successful in the future, Fei Yuning and Zhong Jing said they were not worried at all.

Uncle Hua demonstrated in person not long ago and gave them a lesson on how to break away from the family that is holding them back. In one word - tough!

But their situation is different, and it is impossible for them to set up a new clan directly.

However, they have learned to find the weak spots that the other party cares about and make them obey them. They think this is still possible.

If they really don't learn their lesson, then we can only give them a separate courtyard to live out their old age. If their legs and feet are disobedient and want to run away, they don't mind letting them lie in bed and spend their remaining years in peace. After all, they won't kill their fathers and mothers or do anything treasonous.

"By the way, my wife just sent someone to tell me that we should take the medicine first because the banquet is about to begin." As Xin Ye spoke, he took out pills wrapped in oil paper from his purse and distributed them to several people one by one.

"The green ones are detoxification pills, and the yellow ones are hangover pills." Xin Ye added, "Even if you've taken the medicine beforehand, it doesn't mean it's the right medicine for you. At least it can alleviate the effects of the medicine and buy you time to escape, so you should be cautious."

"You mean, someone is plotting against us?" Mu Xiong was quite surprised and puzzled. Did they make enemies with someone?

Mu Xiong is not from this circle. Even if he has heard some things they said, he has never encountered them. After all, most of the banquets he attended were exchanges between students or invitations from the Hua family.

No one dared to cause trouble at the Hua family's banquet. The Zhong family and the Fei family looked down upon the Mu family, who were only good at studying and had no power or money, and had never invited Mu Xiong to their homes. Therefore, Mu Xiong only occasionally heard gossip about the plots in the back house.

Xin Ye smiled playfully: "My brothers are now famous people in Shacheng. They have good looks, talents, and family backgrounds. They are the best candidates for husbands for the young ladies waiting to get married.

But there are only a few brothers, and there are more than a few young ladies waiting to get married. If you want to successfully get a husband, you naturally have to work hard, and you have to strike first, so..." Xin Ye raised his eyebrows, and his meaning was very clear.

Having said that, if you still don’t understand, you’d be stupid.

Mu Xiong's face darkened and he looked very unhappy.

Fei Yuning and Zhong Jing looked at each other at the same time. From each other's indifferent expressions, they knew that the other had already expected it.

Hua Murong, however, looked as if it was none of my business and picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Seeing this, Mu Xiong asked, "Mu Rong, have you guessed it?"

"Yes." Hua Murong responded and explained, "Anyway, they don't dare to plot against me. The noble families present should all know that my brothers and I always bring secret guards with us when we travel. Some despicable means will not work against us. We have already had previous experience."

Mu Xiong thought thoughtfully, "What if she is a girl who doesn't know the twists and turns?"

Hua Murong: ...

He was seeking death himself, so he could only help him.
