Wu Hei had knew his mother well enough and what her tactics were. All she had done now were plain old acts that she would do all the time. She was no simple lady and was not averse to schemes either. Being the wife of an aristocrat like Wu Xun was no easy thing.

Not to mention She herself was an aristocrat before she even married Wu Xun. If Wu Hei showed a reaction, she would only do more things to make it worse. Such was the way she teased him or rather punished him.

"Are you done, mother?" Wu Hei calmly asked.

~Sigh~

"What a son I have, doesn't even have time for his mother…" The madam said, shaking her head.

"Brother Mu Lin meet my mother, madam Zhen Sui." Wu Hei introduced.

Lin Wu clasped his hands in a formal greeting again and slightly bowed his head. This was the first time he was hearing the full name of the mayor's wife. He knew that her first name was Sui and that some people called her madam Sui.

"So mother what did you want from me?" Wu Hei questioned after they all had taken a seat.

The old Steward meanwhile went to get some refreshments for them and did not dare to listen in anymore.

"Well, I need you to take care of the marital tournament to be precise. This was supposed to be done by your father, but now that he's unavailable you are the only one who can do it. I'll be handling the other tournaments but the Martial tournament is the prime jewel of the ceremonies. It needs to be perfect." Zhen Sui answered.

"What about Elder brother? Can't he do it?" Wu Hei asked with reluctance.

"You think he would really do it? All that happens in that thick skull of his is food, women, and fighting. He has no idea how to do things like this… I still don't know how he leads his battalion with his management skills." Zhen Sui replied.

Wu Hei nodded his head in agreement. He knew that his brother was rather ill suited to tasks such as this. But this didn't mean that he was willing to take the task of organizing the competition. This would mean that he would have to talk with other aristocrats and important people, which was a thing that he usually disliked.

He would much rather go back to his mansion and continue his research. But then after thinking for a while, he realized that this could actually work in his favor. It would make it easier for them to investigate the Gu Legion along with him being able to fulfill the challenge that Wu Xun had given him.

"Alright mother, I accept." Wu Hei stated.
