Old Liu was also an old servant of Madam Zhou.

It had been a long time since I had seen Old Madam Zhou so angry.

He replied emphatically, "Yes!"

Although the answer was concise and clear, it inexplicably gave the rest of the Zhou family a jolt.

Kneeling on the ground, Sun Meizhi trembled violently, knowing in her heart that her death was imminent!

No matter how Old Madam Zhou deals with her today, she is doomed to die!

Sun Meizhi gritted her teeth and held her breath, preparing to smash her head against a wall to avoid further torment.

Unfortunately, none of the Zhou family's bodyguards were pushovers.

They had already sensed that Sun Meizhi had suicidal thoughts, and when she struggled, they used even more force to hold her down.

Click—

Sun Meizhi suffered a broken arm.

The muffled thud wasn't small, but it still didn't attract the attention of Old Madam Zhou.

Madam Zhou maintained her gentle smile, affectionately taking Junyao's hand and saying, "The reason you were frightened today is entirely due to Xiaochuan."

Zhou Yichuan, who had been silent for a long time, silently conveyed a huge question mark with his eyes.

Madam Zhou ignored him and continued to comfort Junyao, talking to herself.

"That kid is never thorough in his work!"

"If he had just chatted with me a little longer before I returned to China, and mentioned that you had already exorcised Mrs. Qiao at home, but it wasn't completely cleansed, I definitely wouldn't have let her appear at today's welcome banquet."

"Naturally, there won't be any of these charlatans trying to scare you out of this mess."

"To be honest, our Xiaochuan has many shortcomings, and Grandma wants him to pay attention to correcting them, but Grandma is getting old and her abilities and energy are limited. There are many things she is willing to do but is powerless to do, and I'm afraid she can't do them anymore."

"But you're still young, and you have a long road ahead of you. Could you stay by his side all the time, in place of Grandma, and remind him properly?"

The Zhou family are all "shrewd old foxes".

They're all cunning and scheming.

How could they not understand what Old Madam Zhou meant?

This is the highest recognition for Qiao Junyao, her granddaughter-in-law!

It seems that Qiao Junyao has won a great victory in this battle of feng shui!

Not only did they win the contest, but they also gained the absolute trust of Old Madam Zhou.

Although it appears that Zhou Yichuan is currently the sole person in charge of the entire Zhou Group.

However, as members of the family, they all know very well that Madam Zhou still holds considerable influence.

Since Madam Zhou was able to utter such words of advice and entrustment, she was telling everyone else—

Qiao Junyao is now a formal member of the Zhou family.

His status is even higher than that of many others.

They must not be underestimated or neglected.

Holding Junyao's hand, Madam Zhou suddenly posed a new question.

"I heard your father mention you before, that your birth chart wasn't stable when you were little, but seeing how you can withstand even this kind of evil exorcism now, you've really changed a lot! What things happened that your grandmother doesn't know about?"

Jun Yao could tell that this sentence was the key point of Old Madam Zhou's Tai Chi routine.

After all, Madam Zhou can trust her more than before.

However, if she wants Junyao to get involved in dispelling the illness from Old Madam Zhou, she needs to provide more compelling evidence to prove that she is truly qualified.

Jun Yao smiled calmly.

"Actually, nothing major happened. In the end, we should thank Master Liang!"

"Grandma, you don't know, Master Liang helped capture a fox spirit a while ago. That fox spirit almost bewitched Zhou Yichuan, but luckily I slapped her in time and beat her to a pulp."

"At the time, I didn't know that I was actually gifted; I just hadn't received proper guidance."

"After having more contact with Master Liang, he taught me some mental techniques and mantras. When faced with similar situations, silently reciting the mantras in my mind can help me avoid the interference of evil spells."

"Today I almost got killed by those vicious demons, but luckily I had a flash of inspiration at the crucial moment and remembered the mental cultivation techniques Master Liang taught me..."

Jun Yao turned around and bowed deeply to Liang Jingu, "Master Liang, thank you again! You saved my life once more!"

Liang Jingu's legs began to tremble uncontrollably again.

Who's saving whom, heroine!

From now on, I, Lao Liang, will give you my life!

The others were unaware of the true story, but after hearing Jun Yao's explanation, they looked at Liang Jingu with even greater admiration.

Madam Zhou nodded as if she had just realized something.

"So it was Master Liang who saved our Ayao." She smiled kindly. "Afu, didn't you tell me last time that the three houses in Jinling River Bay were quite nice?"

Assistant Afu: "Yes, Madam, they've all been purchased."

"Alright, go and choose a set to give to Master Liang," said Madam Zhou.

The others were so envious they almost drooled.

Jinling River Bay is a newly developed riverside villa in Jiangcheng, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, a secluded paradise hidden in the bustling city.

Each detached villa has a viewing platform courtyard.

Surrounded by forests and with a wide-open view, it is a well-known auspicious place in Jiangcheng.

It is also a secluded retreat that countless people yearn for.

When the Jinling River Bay properties were still in the planning stage, they attracted many wealthy families in Jiangcheng to compete for the right to purchase.

Even if some people work hard to pass the capital verification threshold and gain the qualification to compete, they may not be able to buy a set in the end.

However, Madam Zhou's connections and social status allowed her to exclusively own three properties in Jinling River Bay.

The rest of the Zhou family tried their best to please the old lady, but they still couldn't get close to the edge of Jinling River Bay.

Liang Jingu barely uttered a word today, yet he still got a villa on the hillside for free.

They're so jealous!

Despite the envious, jealous, and resentful looks from everyone, Liang Jingu pretended to be calm and said, "Thank you, Madam."

But in her heart, she couldn't help but start thinking: how would she spend the rest of her life serving Jun Yao...

After rewarding Liang Jingu, Madam Zhou slowly returned to the topic of her own illness.

"Ah Yao, what do you think about Grandma's illness...?"

Jun Yao, displaying a strong sense of chivalry, patted Old Madam Zhou on the shoulder and said, "Grandma, don't worry, with Master Liang in charge, this ancient ailment will definitely be cured!"

She paused, then asked, "However, I find this illness quite strange. Have you recently been to any particularly secluded places? Or perhaps seen an old friend you haven't seen in a long time?"

Junyao asked this question because she had been standing next to Old Madam Zhou for quite some time.

Besides temporarily suppressing the restless, sickly atmosphere, a scent of moss could also be detected emanating from it.

The smell of moss does not necessarily mean that it comes from a large forest.

Perhaps it is the secluded dwellings of hermits and the old temples in the mountains that also possess this atmosphere.

Madam Zhou recently went on vacation abroad, and it's unlikely she would have gone to a very quiet place.

After thinking it over and over, Junyao concluded that it could only be because she had met someone.

The illness most likely originates from there.
