Wuzheng answered, "Majesty Huang has returned to the imperial family, and Majesty Kang still wields control. Everyone is considering their personal benefits. Even if they aren't siding with the imperial family, they're also forming their own alliances."

Han Mubai laughed leisurely. "Interesting. Things are moving faster than I thought."

Wuzheng knew that Young Master Han had already made grand plans. Even Old Master Han listened to Young Master Han's instructions now. To the members of the Han family, everything that Young Master Han did was right and beneficial to their family. This was how influential he was.

He might appear to be a calm and gentle person, but was actually great at planning ahead.

In fact, Wuzheng was also waiting for Young Master Han's next orders.

"Our family shall not take any actions for now. We shall just observe. Even if we stand alone, don't act."

Wuzheng was startled but still answered courteously, "Yes, I'll relay your words to the Han family." With Young Master Han's orders, the Han family can feel more a.s.sured.

After watching Wuzheng leave, Han Mubai's focus turned to the newspaper on the table. A dark glint flashed across his eyes, and he shook his head, tossing the newspaper into the paper shredder.

After a short while, Han Mubai began to concentrate on his work.

Han Mubai was completely serious when working. Otherwise, the Han family wouldn't have been able to progress so quickly under his leaders.h.i.+p.

The other families could've exploited all kinds of opportunities to become wealthy, but only the Han family did it legally. Regardless of what the imperial families or other higher powers wanted to do, the Han family would never be affected.

When all the other families began to meet to form alliances, the An family also tried to find a way to survive and flourish.

Under Xie s.h.i.+liu's persuasion, An Yexuan stayed by her side all day long. In the end, An Yexuan kept getting hurt and continuously nursed his injuries. He didn't seem to care about what was happening anymore.

Therefore, he hadn't heard nor asked about the An family.

An Yexuan was rather contented this way, but Master An still had hopes for his son. After all, the An family finally had a capable heir. Although he wasn't in the right state of mind now, Master An thought that one day, his mind would clear up.

When Master An convened several meetings with the An family, he finally realized that his family had already lost its status. Other mid-sized n.o.ble families would never care about the An family.

All of them regarded the An family the same way as they did the Jiang family.

"Master An, we did want to side with the Jiang family, but look at how things turned out? Within a few days, the Jiang family was reduced to nothing. Rumor has it that the Jiang family had offended Xie Limo and Yun Bixue. Your son had initially…" Master Feng looked at Master An and didn't know how to continue.

In the past, the n.o.ble families wouldn't have attributed every matter to Xie Limo and Yun Bixue. However, with the rumors spreading wildly now, they couldn't help but reconsider their impression of the couple.

Perhaps Young Master Xie and Yun Bixue did have a hand in everything. If they didn't, there wouldn't have been such groundless rumors.

Moreover, An Yexuan had been doing well in the past. It was only after Yun Bixue came to the capital that his powers had been taken away from him. Now, he appeared to be an imbecile who did nothing.

n.o.body would believe that Yun Bixue had nothing to do with it. Moreover, who else had An Yexuan offended? There was no one else besides Yun Bixue.
