  Chapter 453: The Liu Family’s Scheme

  The days passed quietly in the orderly preparation of the Liu family.

  Soon it would be the end of April, the day of the upcoming beauty election.

  The best of the beauties selected from all over the world had been entering the capital one after another.

  The fever of the Number One Scholar had not yet passed, but a new wave of fever was ushered in.

  Before the start of the election, the King of Nanling’s Manor also received a post that took the Liu family by surprise.

  It was sent by the Liu family of the capital, inviting the family to a banquet. Moreover, the venue of the said banquet was at the Lius’ residence.

  The family looked at the post and everyone turned serious.

  The Liu family in the capital was ambitious and had schemed them over and over again, so how could this invitation bear good tidings?

  Grandpa Liu looked at Feng Qingbai: “Axiu, I forgot to ask you before. What exactly are the Lius planning for our family? How could they find excuses to approach us time and again?”

  Not once or twice, but for nearly half a year. Wherever they were, shadows of the Liu family of the capital appeared.

  In particular, they sent people to Xiapo Village to dig out information about their family ancestors. Because of this, Grandpa Liu couldn’t dismiss it from his mind. 

  They were having bad thoughts about their ancestors!

  What good could people who had been underground for 800 years bring them?

  Feng Qingbai frowned, and his fingertips knocked his knees subconsciously: “In the past six months, the Liu family in the capital has been driven to a corner too much. Cornered beasts will do something desperate. They couldn’t suppress the Qian family and Shengsheng in other places, so they’re entertaining other ideas. When they sent people to dig out information about the family before, they wanted to start from your ancestors and then describe the Liu family of Xinghua Village as a branch of their family. That way, the branch family will be under the control of the main branch. Everything in Shengsheng’s hand will then also belong to their family.”

  ”How absurd! Shameless!” Grandpa Liu’s anger rushed to his head.

  In his decades of life, he had never seen such shameless people, who were so keen on other people’s properties, that they would do anything to such an extent.

  How dare they try to swallow the Liu family of Xinghua Village in one bite!

  Liu Yusheng’s brow also wrinkle: “If they insist on playing on this idea, it may prove successful. Our two families are surnamed Liu, so I guess they will make an issue of this.”

  ”Traditionally, families have family rules. Even the state law has no way to restrict family laws. If we let them have their way, then our family will no longer have a chance to movel” Liu Zhixia’s voice dipped.

  ”Then what can we do? Is there any way to circumvent them? What if they really obtain some evidence to say that we are a branch of their family? Then wouldn’t our family’s winery, the wine we produce and the money we earn all end up being theirs?” Grandma Liu said anxiously.

  ”More than that, even our people will be at their disposal.”

  People would be at their disposal?

  If that were to happen, the Liu family of the capital would torture their family!

  ”Elders, take it easy.” Feng Qingbai’s voice sounded faint, with a calming and soothing timbre. “I have been prepared for this matter. If they really want to pursue this idea, I’ll be here. They will never succeed.”

  ”Really? Axiu, don’t think about coaxing me, ah. If we can’t stop them then, the first they will deal with will be Nannan!” Grandma Liu wasn’t that knowledgeable, but she wasn’t stupid.

  The Lius in the capital wanted to swallow their family. It was because Nannan was too dazzling. Her ability rendered them helpless, and they had no choice but to be jealous and want to take her for themselves.

  By then, Nannan would become a cash cow in their hands. She would be miserable all her life!

  ”Grandma, I will do what I said. After so many years, when have I coaxed you?”

  With Feng Qingbai’s reassurance, she finally calmed down a little, but her face was still ashen-white.

  Liu Yusheng grabbed her grandma’s hand and sighed. “Grandma, you also underestimate your granddaughter. Even if they get their way, they can’t pinch me. It’s also uncertain who will be worse off then.”

  ”You, you are a little girl. No matter how capable you are, you’re still just a little girl of seventeen. How can you fight against a bunch of beasts and wolves?”

  Chen Xiulan also pitched in, “There are thousands of days to be a thief, but not forever to prevent them. No matter how capable you are, can you prevent others from plotting against you every time? Instead of defending, we should find a way to beat them until they’re afraid, and thrash them until they dare not come!”

  Liu Yusheng, “…” Her mother really dazzled her this time. 

  She was usually soft-spoken, and when her grandma was nearby, you could hardly feel her mother’s sense of existence. She would just stand beside her father. Her speech this time really shocked people.

  ”Scared? That’s your mother. She amazes the world with a single brilliant feat!” Liu Dalin uttered a bookish idiom to show his wife off. 

  ”Pfft!” This washed away the nervousness and panic of the two elders.

  ”Aunt Liu is right. Beat them until they don’t dare to come.” Feng Qingbai curled his lips. Deep in his eyes, there was a smile that spilled over unknowingly. “But as for how to fight, we have to carefully consider it. It’s best to put things right once and for all. Otherwise, they would never give up on their sinister designs.”

  The elders agreed with Feng Qingbai. Next, they picked up the invitation as if it were a hot potato: “Shall we go or not?”

  ”Go. Why shouldn’t we go?” Liu Yusheng laughed. “Since they came to invite us, we will go. Let’s freeload at their expense.”

  The elders were once again amused.

  They were old and knew nothing about fighting with others. Since the younger generation reassured them, they could set their minds at rest.

  Each of their children were capable. Otherwise, the Liu family wouldn’t dread them so much, those who wanted to calculate them would not necessarily succeed. It wasn’t worth scaring themselves too early.

  After the elders calmed down, when they were alone, Liu Yusheng asked Feng Qingbai, “You said you were prepared. What’s going on?”

  ”Do you want to know?” Feng Qingbai leaned back lazily, his index finger tapping his thin lips.

  Liu Yusheng was annoyed. This man was always like this. He always needed to take some bribes before satisfying her. “Can’t you be generous for once?”

  Feng Qingbai shook his head: “There is no free lunch in the world.”

  ”Does a family haggle over this too?”

  ”Uncle Liu said that we will talk about things later. Why don’t you persuade Uncle Liu, so that we can really become a family sooner?”

  ”This is the barrier you have to cross. If you want to marry someone else’s daughter, how can you do it without sincerity?”

  Feng Qingbai sighed: “My sincerity has all spread out, ready to be taken.”

  The little girl covered her mouth and smiled with a look of schadenfreude.

  Since she refused to send it to him, he could only take it himself.

  He stretched a hand and effortlessly pulled the Miss into his embrace. The lady was startled and struggled. “Let go, let go. If my father comes back and sees you, your points will be deducted again!”

  ”Uncle Liu went to rest. He won’t be coming out any time soon ——”

  ”Brat! Let her go this instant!”

  ”…”
