Considering the depth of the Cheng family's roots in Longnan, the elders felt a flicker of unease. Suppressing their shock, they immediately turned to Lady Song beside them and said, "Since he and Lingbo are old acquaintances, and you are unwell, why not invite them to stay at the residence for a day or two?"
Hearing this, Madam Song furrowed her brow slightly. "But my husband specifically instructed that we not receive guests during this period." Moreover, whether it was a woman's intuition or not, she felt a certain dislike toward this group, especially that man named Cheng Wanli, who evoked a strong sense of aversion.
The man had severed an arm from one of the guards without so much as a flinch, showing no regard for the fact that the guard was his own man. Such ruthlessness, coupled with his unsettling manner and speech, made her uneasy.
She couldn't fathom how such a person could be acquainted with her husband, but instinctively, she didn't want them staying in the mansion.
