So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

As night fell and the moonlight was as bright as water, Liuzhu and Liuying tiptoed back to Ling Jiuan's residence.

They held tightly in their hands a title deed.

"Master, this house is really big, and it didn't cost a penny. It's all the young master's love. The staff inside was also carefully selected by us. Do you want to take a look in person?"

Ling Jiuan shook his head slightly, with a hint of worry between his brows.

"Not yet. My current strength is not enough to protect myself. Being too ostentatious will only bring danger to them."

Her words were steady.

"You must also be extra careful when you go there, and don't let anyone notice you. Safety comes first."

Upon hearing this, the two men bowed and agreed.

"Yes, Master, we understand."

As the sky gradually darkened, Mother Wang's slightly hurried voice could be heard from outside the house.

"Fifth Miss, are you there? I have something to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan's eyes moved slightly and he looked at Liu Zhu, signaling her to deal with it.

Liu Zhu understood, gently pushed open the door, and smiled gently.

"It's Madam Wang, what do you want, Madam?"

Mother Wang was smiling, with a hint of flattery in her eyes.

"Oh, it's Miss Liu Zhu. Madam asked me to come over and have a private chat with Miss Fifth. I wonder if Miss Fifth is available now?"

Inside the house, Ling Jiuan's voice was cold and indifferent.

"Come in, Mother Wang, you can speak frankly if you have anything to say."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhu made a gesture of invitation, with an attitude that was respectful yet polite.

"Mother Wang, please follow me."

Mother Wang nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and followed Liu Zhu's footsteps into Ling Jiuan's house.

After entering the house, Mother Wang bowed deeply to Ling Jiuan with a smile on her face.

"Miss Fifth is well and safe!"

Ling Jiuan raised his hand gently, motioning for Mother Wang to stand up, his tone calm.

"Mother Wang, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to be so polite."

Mother Wang smiled, with a sly glint in her eyes.

"My dear Fifth Lady, tomorrow the Madam will host a banquet to celebrate your triumphant return from the front line. This is a kind gesture from the Madam, so please be sure to attend."

Ling Jiuan raised his eyebrows, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Oh? She doesn't hate me? After all, my second brother and third sister were punished when I came back. She must feel very bad, right?"

Mother Wang's face froze for a moment, but she soon smiled again.

"How could that be! Miss Fifth, you have misunderstood. In fact, what Miss Third and the Second Young Master did was indeed wrong, and the Madam knows it all. How could she blame Miss Fifth? You are the pride of our Ling family!"

When Ling Jiuan heard this, the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, but his heart was cold.

She knew that this banquet might not be that simple. However, since Madam Lan invited her to the banquet,

She also wanted to see what the secret was behind this.

Ling Jiuan nodded, with an inexplicable emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Please report this to Madam Lan. I will be there on time."

Upon hearing this, Mother Wang bowed with a smile.

"That's great, Fifth Miss. I'll go back and tell my wife right away. You will definitely be the most dazzling presence at tomorrow's banquet."

After saying that, she turned and walked away.

Ling Jiuan looked at Mother Wang's departing back, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

She knew that this banquet would definitely not be a simple celebration, but a Hongmen Banquet set up by Madam Lan.

But she also understood that she really had to go!

Liu Zhu and Liu Ying on the side looked at Ling Jiuan with worry in their eyes, and Liu Zhu couldn't help but speak.

"Master, Madam Lan has come with bad intentions. Do you really want to go? What if she sets a trap for you?"

Ling Jiuan nodded firmly, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

"It's because she has bad intentions that I have to go. I can't hide forever. I have to face her. Don't worry, I will be careful."

Liuzhu and Liuying looked at each other and saw helplessness and worry in each other's eyes.

But they also knew that Ling Jiuan's decision would not be easily changed.

Ling Jiuan glanced at Liu Zhu and Liu Ying. "Okay, you guys go down first! I know what's going on."

Although Liuzhu and Liuying were full of worries, they had no choice but to retreat as they were told.

After the two men left, Ling Jiuan stood up and walked lightly towards Lei Tingyi's room.

Pushing the door open, she saw Lei Tingyi sitting at the table, looking at her with a complicated expression.

"You knew she was going to poison you, but you still went?"

There was some confusion and worry in Lei Tingyi's voice.

Poison is something that is always hard to guard against, and he felt that Ling Jiuan was still too careless.

Ling Jiuan curled his lips, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Go! Of course I'm going. I'll go to attract Madam Lan's attention, and you go to check Ling Jiuze. Isn't this the best opportunity?"

When Lei Tingyi heard this, admiration and worry were mixed in his eyes.

He knew that Ling Jiuan was always brave and smart, but he was also worried that she would be in danger.

However, he also understood that this was their best chance to uncover the secrets of Madam Lan and Ling Jiuze.

"Okay, then you be careful. I will find out Ling Jiuze's secret as soon as possible."

Ling Jiuan nodded, a smile flashing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I will."

In fact, she cherishes her life more than anyone else.

After saying that, she turned and left.

The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to turn pale, Mother Wang hurried over.

She said to Ling Jiuan with a smile on her face.

"Fifth Miss, the Madam is ready. Please go over now."

Ling Jiuan narrowed his eyes, with some surprise and amusement in his eyes.

"So early? It seems like Madam Lan is really eager to see me."

There was a hint of teasing and self-mockery in her tone, and she had already seen through Mrs. Lan's thoughts.

Is it because you really want to see her become completely disabled?

Upon hearing this, Mother Wang quickly smiled apologetically.

"Yes, Miss Fifth, Madam really takes this banquet very seriously. You should hurry over and don't keep Madam waiting for too long."

Ling Jiuan nodded, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

She knew that this banquet would definitely not be a simple celebration, but a Hongmen Banquet set up by Madam Lan.

She stood up, straightened her clothes, and said to Mother Wang.

"Okay, I'll be there right away. You lead the way."

When Mother Wang heard this, a hint of pride and cunning flashed in her eyes.

She knew that her mission was accomplished.

So she bowed quickly and led Ling Jiuan to the banquet hall.

Ling Jiuan, on the other hand, had a calm expression on his face.

Ling Jiuan stepped into Madam Lan's yard and found that there were not many people in the yard, basically all of them were from the Ling family.

In addition to Ling Jiurong, there were several daughters from side branches, including Ling Xiaofu and several other girls.

They were either sitting or standing, with different expressions, but when they saw Ling Jiuan walk in, their faces changed slightly.

Even Ling Jiurong's biological sister looked unhappy.
