"A circular wound, and an unmarked flying car."

"Son, what's your opinion of Master Fan now?"

Tang Yufeng remained silent; it was clear that he could no longer view this Grand Preceptor Fan in the same way he had before.

“But, Father, he… he’s already on equal footing with my uncle, and even that matter concerning my grandmother… it was all at the request of Grand Tutor Fan…”

Tang Yufeng was truly puzzled, his biggest question being his inability to understand the logic behind Fan Guoshi's behavior.

"Perhaps, at his level, enjoying the struggles of others is what he pursues."

Tang Yufeng remained silent. "Then... what about Boss Xiaoyun..."

"You mean that fabric shop? Yun's?"

"Yes, that young master Yun wanted to... oh, no, I originally wanted to ask my father to go to the Prefectural Governor's office to inquire about the situation, but now it seems..."

Tang Yufeng's eyes darted away slightly.

But how could his little scheme escape the notice of his own father? A mischievous glint flashed in the eyes of the Prince of Jin.

"Alright, I know you're speaking up for that Boss Yun. No need to hide it anymore. I know you want me to go to the Jingzhao Yin office on behalf of that girl."

"Father..."

“Your mother met that girl last time and said that she was quite opinionated and, although she was a merchant, she had an extraordinary demeanor. Your mother said she was good, and I trust her judgment.”

"You don't need to worry about the matter of the Prefect of Jingzhao. Father already knows, and I also have my own considerations."

The Prince of Jin straightened his clothes and walked towards his backyard, signaling to his son not to follow him.

"Well... what should I say to Boss Xiaoyun?"

"You silly boy, do you really need your father to teach you this? Figure it out yourself. But be careful, there are some things you shouldn't say too much about, especially about Grand Preceptor Fan."

After saying this, the Prince of Jin turned and left.

Tang Yufeng nodded slightly, having already decided what to say.

The days that followed seemed to fall into a fixed pattern.

The Yun family's backyard continued to operate as usual, after all, previous orders still needed to be fulfilled, and business integrity had to be upheld.

The number of guests coming to offer incense in the front yard has also decreased significantly, after all, it's almost the seventh day after his death, and most of the people in the capital who were supposed to come have already done so.

The merchants from other places were in a hurry, and we didn't originally plan to notify them. We only notified Yunji in Xin'an City and Yunji in Changgan City.

The only thing that could be considered newsworthy was the return of "Taoist Master" Xiao Zhang.

To be honest, this young man, Zhang, seems to be a frequent practitioner of this kind of "ritual." The equipment he brought and the assistants he brought were quite professional; you could tell at a glance that he was someone who performed rituals often.

Because of this, a large crowd once again gathered in front of Yunji Restaurant.

"Oh my, why is Yun Ji suddenly starting to perform a ritual?"

"I don't know. It's said that a highly respected Taoist priest said there's evil spirits here!"

"I think there's something sinister about him, otherwise how come his boss, Mr. Yun, is gone?"

"Hey! You don't know, the Yun family didn't even put up a memorial tablet, which clearly shows they don't acknowledge him as their boss."

"So what if you don't admit it? With such a big show of it, how could it be fake?"

Brother Zhang and his men pretended to walk around the mourning hall several times, taking the opportunity to investigate and check for any unusual circumstances.

Previously, Yun Qingjin had already explained to the others in Yunji that the exorcism was not a big deal, as they were all family.

In the past few days, Yunji's employees have basically understood what happened in this accident. Although it wasn't explicitly stated, most employees understood that Yun Yuke had faked her death.

The main reason is that we encountered a major problem that was very difficult to solve, so we had no choice but to take this action.

Most of Yunji's employees, like Yuan Chen and Xu Huibing, are women whom Yun Yuke helps in various places, including widows, abandoned actresses, and prostitutes.

These people generally regard Yun Yuke as their great benefactor, and they can confide in her about some things.

"Boss Yun, the ritual is complete. My cultivation is too shallow to force out the evil spirits immediately..."

After Xiao Zhang finished casting the spell, he walked outside Yunji and deliberately told Yun Qingjin about the results in front of everyone.

Yun Qingjin feigned distress, "Ah? How could this happen? Master Zhang, please stay a few more days! Save us! We are a large family of orphans and widows, we can't bear any more blows!"

"Yes, Master Zhang, please stay a few more days!"

Brother Zhang waved his hand, "Please rest assured, I'm just doing my job since I'm being paid. As for my helpers, please arrange accommodations for them, Boss Xiao Yun."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Originally, their performance was intended for outsiders. Xiao Zhang specifically chose two junior brothers and sisters to come with him, and had someone in Yun remember them.

All five of them are skilled fighters and can basically protect this place, preventing thieves from taking advantage of it.

Of course, thanks to the magical communication device that Xiao Zhang sent over the past few days, he has basically made contact with Yun Yuke, who is waiting outside, and he can now feel much more at ease.

“Qingqing, the family needs to be stabilized. Now that Grand Preceptor Fan knows about Yunji, I’m worried he might target our family. You need to stabilize the family and the rear, then your mother can rest assured.”

Yun Yuke had not anticipated that the other party had already discovered the existence of Yunji.

The Yun mother and daughter communicated through a communication device. It now appears that when Yun Ji first entered the capital, she arranged for someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the Imperial Preceptor Fan.

I thought I had done it discreetly, but I didn't expect that someone would still discover my tracks.

Of course, it's also possible that something was leaked from the Changxing Marquis's residence.

In short, no matter what, since we're just one step away from breaking through the barrier, we can't afford to be too careless.

Arranging for people to stay at Yun Mansion is also to better protect ordinary people like Yunji.

"Mother, please be careful! Don't be impulsive!" Yun Qingjin left this message.

"Don't worry, Mother has someone with her, she won't act impulsively," Yun Yuke replied.

A backyard somewhere in Beijing.

"Ke, relax. Trust my apprentices, they won't cause any problems for your family." Wen Jiangyue comforted her friend, seeing that she was staring intently in the direction of her Yunji restaurant.

“Of course I trust your disciple,” Yun Yuke replied casually.

"Then why did you keep staring at it?"

Yun Yuke then looked away. "I've never been away for such a long time before. When I went out to do business before, I always informed my family."

Wen Jiangyue looked incredulous. "Alright, don't worry. The current situation shows that the guy surnamed Fan doesn't have absolute power. We still have room to maneuver."

The two then got down to business and changed their joking attitude.

Switch to a serious state.

"We're going to take down a renowned imperial advisor. We can't afford to be careless."

The two mentally reviewed their original plan. In this unconventional turn of events, although they were the ones in charge, they were not the most crucial element of the plan.

The more important person is...

"Sister Yun, Master Wen, it's good that you two are here."
