Upon hearing this, Jia Ting’s eyes lit up, and he chuckled, “How can I miss such a joyous occasion?” He then instructed his subordinates, “Prepare a thousand taels of silver as a congratulatory gift for the proprietress. Let’s all join in the fun.”

Hearing a thousand taels of silver, Jin Xiangyu’s eyes gleamed, and she said, “Elder Sir is truly generous. You must drink a few more cups tonight.”

After Jin Xiangyu left, Cao Tian suddenly asked, “Old Jia, the proprietress suddenly getting married, could there be a trick?”

Jia Ting sneered, “Regardless of whether there’s a trick or not, as long as we keep a close eye on them, can they really disappear from right under our noses?”

Cao Tian nodded, “You’re right.”

Subsequently, dozens of East Factory personnel descended the stairs together, preparing to attend the wedding banquet.

Just at this moment, Zhou Huai’an and his group also happened to come downstairs. Both sides harbored ulterior motives, so they pretended not to know each other and passed by. However, as they passed, both sides involuntarily tightened their grip on their waist weapons.

Fortunately, both sides exercised restraint and no conflict erupted.

Before long, Jia Ting figured out who Jin Xiangyu was marrying. He then walked up to Ye Qingfeng, smilingly congratulating him, “So it’s little brother you who’s getting married. This is truly cause for celebration.”

Ye Qingfeng returned the courtesy, “You’re too kind. We’ll drink a few more cups later.”

Zhou Huai’an’s group also followed suit, offering their congratulations to Ye Qingfeng.

Ye Qingfeng naturally returned the courtesy one by one.

Soon, the banquet was set, and everyone took their seats. Several waiters busily attended to them, creating quite a festive wedding atmosphere.

After three rounds of drinks, Ye Qingfeng stood up and toasted everyone, saying, “Everyone, enjoy your food and drinks. I’m going to the bridal chamber first.”

With that, he pulled Jin Xiangyu and walked upstairs.

Jin Xiangyu feigned shyness, “You’re so annoying. You were so cold to me earlier, and now you’re so impatient.”

Although she said she was annoyed, there was no hint of annoyance in her body as she leaned against Ye Qingfeng and went upstairs.

Watching the two enter the room, the atmosphere downstairs immediately quieted down, and everyone’s expressions varied.

The inn waiter, Diao Buyu, quickly called out, “Don’t just stand there, everyone, drink! Drink a few more cups.”

Only then did everyone come to their senses, quickly raising their cups and feigning merriment. However, while feigning merriment, their eyes occasionally darted upstairs. Yet, as time passed, there was still no signal from upstairs.

Tie Zhu cursed under his breath, “Damn it, could Mister Ye really be in the bridal chamber with that seductive woman and forget about the important business?”

He Hu said, “That’s hard to say. That seductive woman is so alluring, which man can resist her?”

Zhao Yuan said, “I’ll go see what’s going on.”

With that, he picked up his saber, intending to go upstairs.

He had only taken two steps when a figure flashed over, blocking his path.

This figure was none other than Jia Ting.

Jia Ting coldly sized up Zhao Yuan and said, “Brother, today is the proprietress and little brother Ye’s joyous day. Let’s stay downstairs and drink, and not disturb them in the bridal chamber.”

“Let’s fight them, then go up… that seductive woman, I don’t believe she won’t talk.”

Seeing Zhao Yuan blocked, Tie Zhu immediately grabbed his weapon, ready to attack.

Zhou Huai’an quickly pulled him down, whispering, “Don’t be impulsive. Things haven’t reached their worst yet, and the East Factory army hasn’t arrived. It won’t hurt to wait a little longer.” He then turned to Zhao Yuan, “Brother, come back. Don’t disturb them in the bridal chamber.”

Zhao Yuan looked at the situation and had no choice but to retreat.

Tie Zhu said impatiently, “How long do we have to wait?”

Zhou Huai’an said, “Before dawn, if Mister Ye still hasn’t come out, we’ll make our move.”

Qiu Moyan remained silent throughout, merely sighing softly, a hint of faint disappointment flashing in her eyes.

However, the situation in the room was completely different from what everyone imagined.

Jin Xiangyu stood by the bed, her face pale and trembling, her face full of fear.

Ye Qingfeng sat to the side, carefully savoring the fine wine.

Just now, as soon as the two entered the room, Jin Xiangyu was impatient, like a big bad wolf about to devour a little lamb. In her opinion, with her skills and beauty, dealing with Ye Qingfeng, this pretty boy, would be a piece of cake.

She never expected that Ye Qingfeng, this little lamb, would suddenly transform into a fierce tiger, and she would become the prey.

Or rather, in front of Ye Qingfeng, she didn’t even qualify as prey. Because Ye Qingfeng looked at her with eyes like he was looking at weeds and wildflowers by the roadside. Those cold and indifferent eyes, without a trace of emotion, made her feel a deep dread from the depths of her soul. Having walked the jianghu for decades, Jin Xiangyu had never encountered such a terrifying person. Just a hint of his aura was enough to make her breathless. Facing Ye Qingfeng, she was truly afraid, and immediately pleaded, “I’ll tell you where the secret passage is, just let me go.”

“Secret passage? I’m not interested.”

Ye Qingfeng’s expression was calm, still leisurely savoring his wine.

Jin Xiangyu puzzled, “Aren’t you friends with them? Why don’t you help them escape?”

Ye Qingfeng smiled, “If they left, where would I watch the show?”

Upon hearing this, Jin Xiangyu felt even more terrified, even a little chilling.

Time flew by, and in a few hours, the wind stopped, the rain also stopped, and outside, light gradually began to appear.

Ye Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes, looked at Jin Xiangyu, who hadn’t dared to sleep all night, and said, “Do you know what to do?”

“Yes, yes…”

Jin Xiangyu nodded repeatedly. At this moment, she regretted it immensely. She had walked the jianghu for over a decade, developing a pair of discerning eyes for people, how could she have been so blind here and provoked such a formidable being?

After responding, she walked out of the room with faltering steps.

Downstairs, the East Factory personnel and Zhou Huai’an’s group were still in a stalemate.

Seeing Jin Xiangyu’s pale face and faltering steps, looking “overworked.” Tie Zhu suddenly stood up and sneered, “It seems Mister Ye’s capital is quite considerable, he’s worn out that seductive woman so much she can’t even walk.”

Upon hearing this, the men were all incredibly envious, and after envy, came indignation.

They were downstairs, anxious and fearful, while someone else was galloping in the room. How could they not be indignant?

Zhou Huai’an hurriedly went to meet her, smiling, “Proprietress, shouldn’t we discuss the important business now?”

Jin Xiangyu feigned confusion, “Hasn’t the important business already been taken care of?”

In truth, she wished these people would leave immediately, but Ye Qingfeng had spoken, and she dared not stop acting.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huai’an’s expression immediately darkened, and he said, “Proprietress, you’re not keeping your word.”

Jin Xiangyu cursed, “What word? Didn’t your mother teach you never to trust a woman?” In her heart, she cursed Zhou Huai’an even more profusely: “You damned dog, how dare you talk about keeping your word with this old woman? If it weren’t for you, you dog, instigating all this, how would this old woman have provoked that formidable being?”

Qiu Moyan frowned and asked, “Where is Mister Ye? Why hasn’t he come down?”

Jin Xiangyu’s eyes darted, and she chuckled, “You mean him? He didn’t sleep all night, so of course he needs to rest.”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Moyan frowned even more.

Zhao Yuan said, “I told you that kid wasn’t reliable. See? It’s come true.” He then slapped the table and shouted, “Since we’re going to fight anyway, why not be direct? Kill these eunuch dogs, capture this seductive woman, and I don’t believe we can’t deal with her.”
