Song Yiluo clearly understood that if she continued as before, Cheng Yijin, Deng Yiyi, and earlier Li Xipei, might end up the same way.
Zheng Zhongping from the Zheng Family beside her was indeed someone Song Yiluo didn't particularly fancy, but the Zheng Family held a noteworthy position in Jing City.
Xu Zongyin's maternal family, the Zheng Family, was a transformed merchant family, and couldn't compare to this Zheng Family. Hence, when people in Jing City mentioned the Zheng Family, the first thought would be of the family with three officials.
It wasn't the first time the Song Family dealt with the Zheng Family. Previously, Song Yiluo had obtained Lingzhi, and indeed, the largest piece was given by the Zheng Family. However, currently, the family closest to the Zheng Family is the Gu Family, Gu Shizhao's family, after all, the family saved the elder of the Zheng Family with something Gu Shizhao acquired.
