Money was certainly a powerful thing. The three women she had hired from Huangban Village hadn't thought twice before spilling every detail about Ji Xiu'e's husband's family, going back generations, and had even eagerly helped her find out more.
As for what happened to Huang Junjie at the Gambling House, she had relied on Xin Ziqi, who had connections in Yeyang.
