If we can get the support of the Dongfang Mansion, even if ten old ladies die, it won’t matter.

Dongfang Ti remained calm on the surface, but he was actually thinking about how to deal with the situation.

He suggested going to pay tribute to the old lady, and Mr. Cheng led him to the mourning hall.

In the mourning hall, Dongfang Ti saw Cheng Cheng who was heartbroken.

He secretly observed Cheng Cheng's expression and found that he seemed to be deeply regretful for what he had done.

After the worship, Dongfang Ti had a conversation with Mr. Cheng.

He said that the matter would be dropped, but he hoped that Cheng Cheng could truly grow up and become a responsible person.

After leaving Cheng Mansion, Dongfang Ti was worried. He always felt something was wrong.

Next, we need to remain vigilant about the Cheng family's movements.

After Dongfang Ti returned home, he told everyone what had happened in Cheng's house.

Everyone unanimously decided to observe for a few days before making any decision.

After all, death is the most important thing, and we cannot disturb Madam Cheng’s funeral.

In the next few days, there was indeed no news about the Cheng Mansion in Xuancheng.

I think it was the Cheng family who suppressed the whole thing.

On the day of the funeral, Qin Huailan, despite her unwell body, insisted on going to Mrs. Cheng's mourning hall to see her old sister for the last time.

A few days later, in Dongfang Mansion.

"Report! Cheng Cheng, the young master of the Cheng family, wants to see you." The guard's announcement broke the tranquility of the Dongfang Mansion.

"This guy dares to come!" Dongfang Qiong clenched his fists.

He's still angry from last time!

A trace of doubt arose in Dongfang Ti's heart. He didn't know why Cheng Cheng came here at this time.

"Don't worry, brother. Let's see what he wants."

"Let him in."

Dongfang Ti decided to meet Cheng Cheng to see what his purpose was.

"Humph, you definitely have bad intentions!"

Cheng Cheng entered the hall, fell to his knees with a thud, and said sincerely, "Mr. Dongfang, I'm here to apologize to you and Miss Dongfang. That day at the Cheng Mansion, I was possessed by a ghost and spoke nonsense while drunk. I deeply regret my actions. Please forgive me."

Dongfang Ti looked at Cheng Cheng, wondering if this man had truly reformed.

Dongfang Qiong had no intention of giving him a good look. "Humph, what a drunk talking nonsense! Do you think you can just say whatever you want about the daughter of the Dongfang family?!"

Dongfang Ti had sharp eyes and could see the displeasure on Cheng Cheng's face at a glance.

He exchanged glances with Dongfang Qiong, and they both understood each other. With a few words, they drove Cheng Cheng out.

Dongfang Ti said coldly, "I see you are not sincere. Please leave."

Then, Dongfang Qiong waved his hand and asked several people to come to Cheng Cheng and carry him out. "Come here, please ask Master Cheng to leave."

Their actions were swift and decisive, leaving Cheng Cheng no chance to resist.

Cheng Cheng was caught off guard by this sudden change and could only watch himself being expelled from Dongfang Mansion.

He didn't understand where the mistake had gone.

He disguised himself very well!

No matter what, with so many people on the street seeing him in such a miserable state, he could only go home.

Afterwards, Dongfang Ti and Dongfang Qiong posted a notice throughout the city to inform the whole city of what had happened, announcing that from now on the Dongfang Mansion and the Cheng Mansion would have no relationship whatsoever.

The news quickly spread throughout the city, attracting widespread attention and discussion.

On the street, people were whispering and talking.

Some people praised Dongfang Ti and Dongfang Qiong's decision, believing that they were decisive and resolute and maintained the dignity of the Dongfang Mansion; others expressed sympathy for Cheng Cheng's experience, thinking that he had just experienced the death of a loved one and that the Dongfang Mansion should not be so cruel.

I also heard that later, the Cheng family spread the evil deeds of the Dongfang family everywhere, and Dongfang Ti hired people to severely punish them several times before they finally put their minds at ease.

Cheng Cheng returned to Lianyi City in dejection, without saying a word about the birthday banquet and the holiday.

-

Dongfang Qingmo sat leisurely in the yard, chewing sweet grapes, enjoying the sunshine, and listening to the servants report what had happened in the past few days.

When she heard the news about Cheng Cheng, she couldn't help but sigh.

"This Cheng Cheng is really persistent." Dongfang Qingmo sighed.

The Dongfang family's huge wealth is undoubtedly a huge temptation, but Cheng Cheng is not aware of the risks and challenges involved.

He was obsessed with making a fortune, but he didn't consider whether he had enough ability and wisdom to manage the family business.

"Money is indeed a good thing. It can make people greedy and blind." Dongfang Qingmo thought to himself.

Suddenly, an idea struck her and she sat up straight: "Yes, I can do business! If I can make a lot of money, I can just use my money to hit people in the future!"

Thinking of this, she suddenly became excited.

She knew that she already had more than 100,000 taels of silver in her small treasury. If she could find the right opportunities and projects and invest the money into them, she might be able to get rich returns.

Moreover, she does not need to do it herself, she just needs to ask others to help her implement her plan.

"Or... investing is also a good option!" The more Dongfang Qingmo thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. "Not only does this save worry and effort, but I can also reap the benefits without any hassle. It's simply fantastic!"

She couldn't help but clap her hands, feeling very satisfied with her idea.

She began to think about how to find suitable investment projects and make a detailed plan.

In the coming days, she will study the market trends carefully and look for potential business opportunities.

"Haha, why didn't I think of it earlier!" Dongfang Qingmo said to himself with a smile.

As long as you seize the opportunity, in time, you can remove the word "daughter" and become the "richest man"!

Yunmei looked at Dongfang Qingmo's excited expression and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

She thought to herself: Could the young lady have come up with some brilliant idea again?! She had to find a way to make the young lady succeed, otherwise she would fall into despair again...

However, Dongfang Qingmo was completely immersed in his own joy at this time and did not notice the change in Yunmei's expression at all.

"Sister Yun, please prepare your writing brush and ink!" Dongfang Qingmo shouted happily.

She couldn't wait to write down her plans.

"Yes, Miss." Yunmei responded and quickly prepared paper, pen and other items.

Before long, everything was ready.

Dongfang Qingmo picked up the brush, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Sister Yun, what do you think is the most profitable part of our family's business?"

After all, only by knowing the most profitable industry at present can you clearly know what kind of career you should pursue.

"Miss, I'm not quite sure about this..." Yunmei shook her head helplessly, indicating that she didn't know the answer.

She usually concentrates on practicing martial arts, and she has no right to interfere in the Dongfang family's business!

"All right……"

After careful consideration, Dongfang Qingmo wrote down several industry names on the paper: catering, beauty, clothing, etc. These are all giant industries in the market and are also necessities for people's daily lives.

She knows that in order to succeed in the business world, she must seize these hot industries.

Afterwards, Dongfang Qingmo finished writing the preliminary plan and took Yunmei with him to find Dongfang Qingshui.

At this moment, Dongfang Qingmo and Yunmei passed by a pavilion. Inside, several maids were discussing the top ten names in the sect competition, their voices clearly audible.

Success made her stop.

Yunmei wanted to remind them, but Dongfang Qingmo stopped her.

Yunmei had no choice but to silently light a candle for these maids in her heart.

These maids seemed to be a little too excited to notice that Dongfang Qingmo was standing behind them.

"Have you heard? The young master of Lianlan Sect will be participating in the competition this year!"

"Young Master of Lianlan Sect? Hasn't he participated in competitions in previous years?"

"It is said that this is the case."

"Is he great?"

"I don't know either, but I heard he's very handsome!"

"really?!"

"Yes, many female disciples from various sects admire him greatly. Even Peng Qinqin, the young master of the Flame Sect, has admired him for a long time."

At this moment, Dongfang Qingmo suddenly interrupted and said, "Then why didn't he participate before?" She frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

A maid continued, "It is said that..."

However, before she could finish her words, another maid suddenly cried out: "Ah! Miss."

She looked at Dongfang Qingmo in horror, her face as pale as paper and her body trembling.

Then she quickly knelt down, her forehead pressed against the ground, not daring to look up.

Seeing this, the other maids also reacted, looked terrified, and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Dongfang Qingmo was speechless and muttered to himself: These maids are so timid. I just wanted to hear some gossip, but they were so scared.

She waved her hands helplessly and said, "It's okay, get up, everyone." There was a hint of impatience in her tone.

The maids looked at each other, seeming a little bit unbelieving, fearing that this was just a joke by Dongfang Qingmo.

In the end, it was Yunmei who stepped forward and helped them up one by one.

Dongfang Qingmo then asked, "He hasn't said it yet, why didn't he participate before?" Her gaze fell on the maid who had just spoken, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

The maid said tremblingly, "Uh, it is said, it is said..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, as if suppressed by an invisible force.

Her eyes darted around and she looked very nervous, afraid of being punished for saying something wrong.

Dongfang Qingmo sighed helplessly and comforted her softly, "Speak, I won't eat you, don't be afraid." Her tone was gentle, trying to make the maid relax.

The maid swallowed her saliva and continued, "It is said that the young master of Lianlan Sect has been on the lonely island in the sea area and has only returned to Lianlan Sect..."

"An isolated island in the sea?" Dongfang Qingmo repeated curiously, "What place is that?" She had never heard of this place and her mind was full of questions.

"Miss...Miss, I have only heard about it and don't know the specific situation..." The maid lowered her head and answered in a low voice.

Dongfang Qingmo nodded thoughtfully, "Well, it's okay, you guys go down, don't be afraid, I won't eat people."

After the maid left, she turned to Yunmei and said, "Yunmei, go find out where this lonely island in the sea is, and find out more information about the young master of Lianlan Sect."

She is now very interested!

"But, miss..."

Today Dongfang Qingmo only brought Yunmei with him. If she left, Dongfang Qingmo would be alone.

"It's okay. My brother's yard is just ahead. He will take me back later."

Yunmei had no choice but to obey the order and leave, while Dongfang Qingmo continued to go to Dongfang Qingshui's residence.

When she came to Dongfang Qingshui's courtyard, she found that he had grown a short layer of hair on his head, but it still looked a little sparse.

Dongfang Qingshui still felt embarrassed and didn't want to go out and see anyone. He just kept hiding in the yard and kept using the hair growth agent provided by the pharmacist.

Dongfang Qingshui teased, "Hey, what a rare guest! What brings Mo'er here?!"

You know, Dongfang Qingmo would not step into his courtyard three times a year.

"Brother doesn't welcome me? Then I'll leave?" Dongfang Qingmo pouted and turned away.

"Hey, hey, hey," Dongfang Qingshui stopped in front of her, "Since you're here, it's not too late to have a pot of tea before leaving."

"Hmph~~" Dongfang Qingmo walked around him and sat on the stone bench.

"You are alone. Where is your maid?" Dongfang Qingshui looked over and over again, but could not find any trace of Yunmei and the others.

Dongfang Qingshui said earnestly, "Mo'er, wasn't what happened last time enough to teach you to be more careful?! Why don't you bring more people with you when you go out?"

"Brother, they sent me to the door and then I sent them to do things for me! What, brother, will you harm me too?" Dongfang Qingmo asked back.

"How is that possible? I won't harm you no matter who you are! It won't happen again." Dongfang Qingshui patted his chest and promised.

Dongfang Qingmo smiled secretly, thinking that to deal with him, all he needed to do was provoke him.

"No one comes to the temple for no reason. Tell me, are you short of money again? I don't have your brother anymore! Go find your parents."

"No, brother, come and sit here and listen to me..."

Dongfang Qingmo told Dongfang Qingshui about his plan in detail. After listening to it, Qingshui's eyes flashed with surprise and couldn't help but praise: "Mo'er, this is a great idea. If it can be successfully implemented, our Dongfang family's status in Xuancheng and even the entire Qizhou Kingdom will be further enhanced!"

Dongfang Qingmo's confidence instantly increased after receiving his brother's approval. "Yeah, I think it's a good idea too."

Dongfang Qingshui nodded her head, "What a stinker!"

Dongfang Qingmo stuck out her tongue at him.

"Mo'er, where did you find these methods?" Dongfang Qingshui asked in confusion.

I've never heard her mention it before.

After thinking about it, he still felt it would be better to ask directly.

So as to avoid rifts between siblings.

"Mo'er, you've been acting weird lately. Are you under too much pressure?"

Dongfang Qingmo was a little stiff.

Has she been discovered?

That shouldn't be the case. She always spoke the way the original owner remembered.

This……

Wouldn't it be possible to be exposed if I were to spend every day with music, chess, calligraphy and painting?!

But she doesn't want that, she wants a colorful life...

"What's strange about that? Is it your illusion?"

"I can't explain it, but it just feels a little different."

My sister has been replaced, of course!

I wonder if her parents will also recognize that she is not her...
