High up in a great hall in the City Lord's Manor.
Peng Xiuxiu stood beside a small window, looking down at the scene below, a smile curling her lips.
"Xiuxiu, isn't this going too far?"
"If we provoke the city lord's wrath, it'll only turn out badly!"
A woman dressed in red stood opposite Peng Xiuxiu.
The woman was quite good-looking, her face full of worry.
"Don't worry!" Peng Xiuxiu picked up a cup of divine tea from the table beside her, took a leisurely sip, and said, "The He Family is a servant lineage of our Peng Family. So what if I took his berth?"

"Then it'll be easier for me to take him as my servant later. Hahahahaha..."
A trace of greed appeared in Peng Xiuxiu's eyes.
