It was no wonder Leng was being so cautious. After all, that was an ancestral star teeming with powerful figures.
In this tiny corner of the Known Universe, given her family's strength and status, it was true that they could do whatever they wanted.
But once they got over there, they might offend some taboo through sheer carelessness and provoke a big shot whom even she and Ximen Lang couldn't afford to offend!
If it really came to that, losing face would be a minor matter. Being arrested and sent to prison would be the real disaster! Especially since Ximen Lang was extremely protective of his own.
If he lost his head at the time and everyone went charging in one after another to rescue him, like the Calabash Brothers rescuing their grandfather, it wasn't impossible that the entire family, young and old, would end up joining the fight!
Then the whole family, regardless of age, would be arrested and thrown in the lockup?
If that really happened, they would be completely screwed! So there was no harm in being careful. It would be best to use this opportunity to make everything clear and lay out the worst-case scenario in advance, so they wouldn't have trouble explaining themselves later.
As for whether the entire crowd of wives in the Ximen Family would listen to her and promise not to act recklessly...
First of all, everyone who could enter the Ximen Family's gates had been personally investigated by Leng. Only after receiving Leng's approval could they marry in.
Their character was guaranteed! Secondly, after all these years together, Leng had treated them with sincerity, putting herself in their shoes and showing them wholehearted kindness. Every one of them, including the two elders Queen Keisha and Pi Pi Xi, respected Leng immensely.
