Return of the Phoenix Lady

"Hey! Hey! Have you heard about what happened the night before last?" In Fengyun Tower in the capital of Mu Kingdom, a few big men were sitting in a corner of the hall, discussing in a low voice. Big man A asked.

"Of course! Such a big thing, I guess the whole Mu Country knows about it now, and maybe it has even spread to other countries!" Big Man B replied with a curled lip.

"Huh? What's the big deal? How do you all know about it?" Big man C asked curiously with his eyes wide open.

"Oh my God! You don't even know about that?" Big man A widened his eyes and looked at big man C in disbelief.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly!" said big man C anxiously.

"Isn't it just the Chu family, the richest family in Rongcheng?" Big man B replied while eating melon seeds.

"The richest businessman? What could happen to them? Didn't I hear that a treasure-hunting event was held there a few days ago?" asked big man C disapprovingly.

"Look at you! You are so ignorant! Let me tell you! The night before last, the main building of the Chu family collapsed, and even the master disappeared. Some people said that they were crushed to death and their bodies were not found; others said that they were afraid that their fame would anger the royal family, so they retired on their own." Big man A deliberately lowered his voice.

"Is this true? What exactly happened? Tell me quickly!" asked big man C curiously.

"I also heard that the night before yesterday, there was a strong wind and heavy rain in Rongcheng, which did not stop until dawn. Then, the next morning, everyone found that the main house of the Chu family had collapsed, but the servants' rooms were safe and sound, and all the masters of the Chu family disappeared. Anyway, the Chu family was finished." Big man A continued to explain.

"Is that so? But how come no one noticed such a big noise until morning?" asked big man C in confusion.

"I find this very strange too. That's why people say that the Chu family committed too many evil things and that's why they brought down the punishment from heaven!" replied the big man A.

"So that's how it is! The Chu family is really finished!" Just as the big man C was sighing, a refreshing male voice suddenly interrupted: "That's not necessarily true!"

Upon hearing this, the big men turned around and saw a handsome young man sitting next to them, sipping tea leisurely.

"Oh? Young master, what do you mean by that? Tell us quickly!" Big man A couldn't help but ask.

The young master put down his teacup, picked up the folding fan beside him, opened it, and gently shook it, showing a smug smile, and said: "Your news is out of date, let me tell you! According to the latest news I got..." The young master suddenly stopped and glanced around. He saw that most of the diners stopped talking and stretched their ears to listen to the latest gossip.

"Young master, just tell me! Stop keeping us in suspense!" the impatient big man C said hurriedly.

"Don't be anxious! Let me tell you slowly. After the masters of the Chu family disappeared, a young man came the next day. The young man claimed to be a member of the Chu family and the grandson of the former head of the Chu family. There was also a middle-aged man who came with the young man, who also claimed to be the cousin of the head of the Chu family. Moreover, they were all students of the Five Nations Academy!" The young master paused here to give everyone space to digest what he said.

"What? One is the grandson of the head of the family? And the other one is the head of the family's cousin?" asked big man A in disbelief.

"Yeah! Why have I never heard that the head of the Chu family has a cousin before? Besides, doesn't the Chu family only have a single son? How come a grandson suddenly appeared?" Big man B was relatively intelligent and thought a lot.

"Oh my God! Are they both students of the Five Nations Academy? So impressive! I think the Patriarch of the Chu family must have intended to train them both and wanted them to practice peacefully, so he didn't announce the news to the public. Who knows, that young man is the grandson of the Patriarch of the Chu family, and the current one is just a decoy!" Big man C guessed boldly.

"That makes sense. It's a pity that the Chu family has suffered such a misfortune. That young man must be very sad." Big man B also agreed with C's statement.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to the young master! Young master, please continue!" said the big man A loudly.

"Well! They came back this time to continue to inherit the Chu family and carry forward the Chu family's business.

Of course, they wouldn't give up on searching for the rest of the Chu family, and they even declared that they would keep searching until they found the bodies of the Chu family members. Fortunately, none of the Chu family members were harmed, and no greater tragedy occurred. The young master stopped fanning himself and sipped his teacup again.

"So that's how it is! But how do we prove that those two people who suddenly showed up are really members of the Chu family?" Big man B suddenly asked.

"That's a good question, brother!" The young man put down his teacup again, looked at the big man B with a smile, and praised him.

"In fact, everyone has this doubt, and the ones who can solve it are the old servants of the Chu family. They have lived in the Chu family for many years, so they can naturally recognize whether they are fake or real. So, after the unanimous confirmation of the old servants of the Chu family, those two people are indeed members of the Chu family!" The young master explained with a smile.

"Oh~ Thank you very much for clearing up my doubts! But I wonder where you got this information?" Big man B asked gratefully and curiously.

"Oh, I have a friend in Rongcheng, and he told me!" The young master said lightly.

"I see!"

The young master smiled, picked up his folding fan, and walked upstairs, leaving everyone to digest the new news.

"Xing'er, you're naughty again!" Jin Yifeng scolded her lightly as he entered the private room, but there was no trace of blame in his tone.

"Hehe~Brother Feng, I'm just raising awareness for Chu Xiang and the others!" Han Xing tilted her head and smiled at Jin Yifeng.

"Young Master, why do you always say words that we can't understand?" Ying Rui asked with a smile.

"What? Are you envious?" Han Xing glanced at Ying Rui and continued with a half-smile, "I see you're really too idle. How about this! Let's expand the market a bit!"

"I dare not, I dare not! Young master, please stop torturing me!" Ying Rui begged for mercy and replied helplessly.

Since returning that day, Chu Xiang, Chu Longhui, Han Xi and Han Qingyu stayed in Rongcheng to continue to reorganize the Chu Mansion. Shui Luochen and Feng Shang should have returned to the country long ago, but were delayed until now because of Han Xing, so they were also sent back to the country by Han Xing. Jin Yifeng, Liu Hanyang and Ying Rui followed Han Xing to Mucheng overnight. In order to avoid being revealed, Liu Hanyang had also returned to the mansion.

"Okay! Stop it, Xing'er. What are you going to do next?" Jin Yifeng looked at the two of them with amusement and asked.

Han Xing smiled wickedly and said, "Chu Ziyi cares most about wealth, while Liu Hexian cares most about status. So, guess what I will do next?"
