When they received the message from the Bai and Zhao families, asking them to meet at Shi Yan Zhai, they understood that the two families had decided to compromise with the Yan family.

Otherwise, why would the meeting be held at Shi Yan Zhai instead of Jin Hong Tower?

That was Yan family's territory. Holding a meeting there was equivalent to making everything transparent to the Yan family.

Since the two families had made their decision, they had no choice but to accept this fate.

Otherwise, the fate of the Xue family today could very well be theirs tomorrow.

Carriages after carriages stopped at the entrance of Shi Yan Zhai. Those who got off were all prominent figures in Changting Town, most of whom were visiting Shi Yan Zhai for the first time.

The patriarch of the Ma family, dragging his weary body, walked into Shi Yan Zhai. He hadn't rested all night. After learning about the fate of the Xue family, he had spent the night in fear, finally making it to dawn.

He was also weighing the pros and cons. If they really sided with the Yan family, would it really lead to better development in the future?

If they didn't side with the Yan family, how could they protect their own interests?

By dawn, he still hadn't figured out any solutions.

As soon as he entered Shi Yan Zhai, he saw that the entire first floor was almost full of people.

"Business is booming?" Ma Chen looked around. Several people were sitting together, chatting, with a pot of tea and many small snacks on the table. They all had smiles on their faces.@@novelbin@@

There were many familiar faces, all nobles from Changting Town.

He often dealt with them on a regular basis.

Upon closer inspection, he saw a familiar face at a single table.

Sun Yue Ru from the Sun family.
