It’s unclear what Madam Feng said to the Feng Family Master, but in less than an hour, he emerged looking extremely satisfied.

He agreed!

No one could figure it out—why did Madam Feng, with all the prestigious young ladies in An City and all of Hua Country to choose from, settle on a woman who just has a bit of money as her daughter-in-law?

The most impressive part is, Madam Feng even convinced the Feng Family Master!

Madam Feng smiled lightly and said, "I’ll take charge of handling the engagement and betrothal gifts. I’ll return to Jiangzhou Prefecture to make arrangements in the next few days."

Wu Pei and the others watched Madam Feng’s seemingly gentle yet actually decisive methods, feeling uncomfortable.

They really couldn’t understand—why does Madam Feng seem to value Su Li so much?

Moreover, Madam Feng, who usually avoids socialite gatherings, is actually going to Jiangzhou Prefecture herself for the engagement and betrothal gifts, clearly showing her importance.

Except for being a bit prettier, a bit smarter, and a bit richer, Su Li doesn’t seem to have any particularly outstanding qualities. Why is Madam Feng so fond of her?

Madam Feng has lived in An City for years; how many prestigious young ladies has she had afternoon tea with but never settled on like she has with Su Li... It feels like there’s a plot here.

After failing to stop her, everyone could only leave the hall.

Soon, two middle-aged noblewomen, adorned with expensive jewelry and wearing dresses worth tens of thousands, gathered together. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Wu Pei pouted and whispered, "Look at Madam Feng’s attentive attitude; I feel there’s some sort of conspiracy here. Madam Feng is really proactive."

Xue Xin looked at her newly done crystal nails and said casually, "You just don’t get it. Do you know why Madam Feng is so proactive in going back? Tsk, there’s an old lover there; maybe she’ll even use this engagement opportunity to meet them."

Wu Pei’s eyes lit up. "Old lover? What old lover?"

A soft voice suddenly jumped out from behind, "Why doesn’t Ms. Wu Pei just ask me, the person involved, if she’s so curious?"

Xue Xin and Wu Pei were so startled by the voice that their legs nearly gave way, almost falling to the ground, their faces turning stark white.

You really can’t talk bad behind someone’s back; you’ll get caught immediately.

Wu Pei and Xue Xin awkwardly smiled at Madam Feng, frantically waving their hands, "Madam Feng... we were only joking earlier, not serious."

As Madam Feng’s stilettos made a "click-click" sound on the stone path, the slit of her dress elegantly swayed as she walked, revealing her long, fair legs. She turned to the two embarrassed middle-aged women and smiled slightly, "Mm, you’re right, I do have an old lover in Jiangzhou Prefecture."

Xue Xin and Wu Pei stared in shock as Madam Feng walked away...

Whoa, did she just admit it outright? There really is an old lover?!

Su Li was still anxious, always worrying that the Feng Family might not agree to the engagement. Even if they were intimidated by Feng Huaijin, they might try to delay the marriage.

Who knew that just two days after Feng Huaijin informed the Feng Family members, Madam Feng had already started preparing the engagement and betrothal gift list, ready to head to Jiangzhou Prefecture.

That swift pace left Su Li in awe.

Madam Feng... does she really like her?

Su Li looked at her WeChat messages, where Madam Feng reassured her not to worry or be anxious, promising that they would handle the engagement properly.

Could this future mother-in-law be too easy to get along with?
