FID – Chapter 290

Silence reigned in the study for a long time.

Liu Yusheng obviously hit the core.

Elder and Master Qian were well aware of this deep inside.

Once the Liu family took power, one family would dominate the capital.

The Lius would never tolerate anyone’s wealth and power that could keep up with them and pose a threat.

The most common means of solving hidden dangers was to cut off weeds from the roots!

“Previously, our family has always been relatively pure merchants. Although we also have contacts with officials in the court, we have never set foot in the court.

If we reach a deal, it is the same as the Qian family taking part in the court struggle. It is impossible for us to stand alone in the future.

If we succeed, the future is boundless, but once we fail, we would have nowhere to be buried.

Miss Liu, it’s not that the Qian family doesn’t want to cooperate with you, but we can’t afford to take that risk.

Without guarantees, my family does not dare to step into that vortex.

In the future, it’s uncertain whether the Liu family can climb to the top, but once my family has a change of heart, the Liu family will immediately turn around and deal with us first.

My family would be over before we can reap that boundless scenery. My family can’t afford to carry it.”

Qian Baihao looked deeply at Liu Yusheng.

This was asking for her assurance.

The so-called guarantee was only related to power.

There was only one power behind her, Feng Qingbai.

Liu Yusheng didn’t want to pull Feng Qingbai in because the mess in the court was enough for him to clean up.

However, she wanted to win the Qian family over, for her to cut off his rival’s rear dependence. It was inevitable that he would be involved.

Just as the Liu family was the vault and granary of Consort Liu and Qin Xiao.

What she wanted to achieve was to be Feng Qingbai’s vault and granary. However, it was necessary to swallow up her opponent’s coffers!

In war, it was said that troops and horses would advance first with army provisions. It was thus clear the importance of vault and granary.

She wanted to be Feng Qingbai’s “grain and grass”. It wouldn’t work without the Qians help, because it would be too slow.

Moreover, as long as they fought against the Liu family, they would naturally regard them as Feng Qingbai’s helpers, and the two camps were bound to fight to the last breath.

Liu Yusheng pondered for a moment and said, “What we are going to do is earn a decent living, not disregarding the law and discipline. It’s not that easy for others to catch our weaknesses.

Of course, if the opponent uses tricks to deal with us, we are not without justification.

If the Liu family wants to cover the sky with one hand, they are still not qualified enough for that.”

Without explicitly saying so, it was considered a promise.

Having said that, all that remained was to give them time to consider it.

When the three walked out of the study, the kitchen was ready to serve their meal.

Upon sitting on the dining table, Qian Wanjin immediately approached Liu Yusheng’s side and whispered.

“What exactly did you talk about inside for so long? Is it a business matter?

My father and my grandfather are old foxes. How can you, a young girl who has never seen the world, be their opponent? Did you suffer badly?

Tell me about it, and I’ll quarrel with them later!”

Liu Yusheng, “…”

She gave Shi Xianrou a glance. Take care of your man. If this continues, the Qian family won’t welcome me in the future.

Shi Xianrou raised a brow and shrugged. My beloved has such virtue. If he’s unhappy, I can’t manage him. Figure it out yourself.

Liu Yusheng smacked her forehead.

Qian Wanjin looked left and right, feeling like he’s been left out.

They are playing a mute riddle, and he couldn’t understand!

How displeasing!

Elder Qian and Qian Baihao, the Elder Madam and Madam Qian, who were sitting opposite the three, turned their eyes away, unable to look at them.

This bastard didn’t support his family!

Wang Zhi has been observing their expressions, but because she had no clue what Liu Yusheng discussed with the two masters in his family, she didn’t dare to speak rashly.

She still had a criminal record in the family. She was already lucky enough that they didn’t drive her out, so it was impossible for them to trust her as before.

She could only behave with her tail between her legs.

After the dishes were served, Madam Qian personally gave Shi Xianrou and Liu Yusheng some dishes.

“Miss Liu, you are good friends with Wanjin and Xianeou, so come to our house more often in the future. Treat it like your own home, and don’t be restrained.

I should have visited you long ago and thanked you personally, but my body isn’t strong enough to make the trip.

Now that you are here in the capital, you can’t be a stranger to our family.”

“Madam Qian, I won’t be a stranger to you, but don’t be annoyed if I come more often in the future.”

“Why would I be bothered? I would love that.”

The old lady also nodded frequently. “Yes, come more often, but make sure to bring a jar of nourishing tea when you come. I like that!”

“Okay, definitely.” Liu Yusheng laughed.

During the meal, the young girl laughed and smiled, and she responded appropriately and generously, making the atmosphere cordial.

Madam Qian occasionally looked at Liu Yusheng, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

When her son ran away from blind dates every year in the past and did not come back for at least half a year, she knew the reason.

But her son himself did not notice, so she never took the initiative to help uncover that layer of window paper.

At that time, she was really afraid that her son would develop something with the little girl of the Liu family whenever he went to Xinghua Village and stayed there for a long time.

Although the Qian family was not at the top of power and status,  they were also a rich and powerful family in the capital. The eldest daughter-in-law of the family couldn’t be a country girl.

Businessmen were profit-oriented.

She didn’t look down on Liu Yusheng, but the family’s interests came first.

Especially over the years when the Liu family has done tricks to suppress the Qian family. If they wanted to earn a living, the Qian family needed to work hard on a marriage.

Liu Yusheng’s family background was inappropriate.

Now that the marriage between her son and the Miss Shi was settled, and they were getting along better and better, she was really relieved.

The three young people were also extremely natural when they got along, so her previous point of defense and disconnection to Liu Yusheng has long disappeared.

In all fairness, she liked this little girl very much.

She was capable, good natured and knew how to advance and retreat.

On top of that, among thousands upon thousands, no one probably ever thought that such a little girl had such a monumental relationship with the King of Nanling, Feng Qingbai.

If Liu Yusheng would later get married into the Nanling Palace, then it was the Qian family who couldn’t climb her.

After lunch, Liu Yusheng wasn’t prepared to stay longer and rushed to return to the royal residence.

Before leaving home this morning, when she told Feng Qingbai that she would not go back for lunch, his expression was pretty ugly at that time.

If she stayed here a moment longer, Qian Wanjin would probably suffer.

That man never showed his discomfort in front of her, but he would turn his head and find a target to vent his anger.

“Lucky Nannan, why are you in such a hurry to go home? Xiao Shitou has not left yet. Feng Qingbai is too strict with you. You’ve got a curfew when you go out during the daytime!”

Qian Wanjin was quite dissatisfied with Liu Yusheng’s eagerness to leave.

How long has she been here? They have not even exchanged a few words!

What did they talk about in the study? She hasn’t even told him yet. How could he quarrel with his father about it later?

“Come to the royal residence with Xianrou and find me next time. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure no one will stop you then.”

“Snort! Don’t you know that Feng Qingbai will always agree to your face and oppose secretly? I’ll keep your promise for now.” He was traumatized from being stopped!
