FID – Chapter 511

Chapter 511: It’s Time for Us To Turn Over 

  ”That has long been an established campaign. How did it get postponed?”

  ”That’s a no brainer. It must have been a bunch of people behind Consort Liu’s party who made the move.” Qian Wanjin grunted, “The Liu family just lost the tea industry in February, and their court and community reputation have dropped significantly. The situation was direly unfavorable to them when it coincided with the Fu family’s plunge and Yuzheng’s rise to power. If the campaign started back then, there was almost no possibility for the Liu family to win the selection.”

  Liu Yusheng understood.

  No wonder the selection was postponed, and Yuzheng has encountered obstacles after obstacles in collecting fabrics.

  The Liu family was indeed betting their bottom dollar on this opportunity to rise again.

  Although their family’s prestige has dropped a lot, and their reputation was not as favorable as before, it would be all too easy for them to regain fame and fortune if they could uphold the royal merchant label.

  Thinking of this, Liu Yusheng laughed. Now even she believed that she was blessed.

  Otherwise, how did she chance upon Chen Hai who saved her when she fell into the water?

  Why was it that Chen Hai was delivering the cloth for the Liu family and letting her know the inside story?

  It was as if it was destined to happen.

  All the fabrics that the Liu family imported have been stored in the warehouse, and Liu Huai has personally inspected them a couple of times.

  After confirming that there was no discrepancy between quantity and quality, he locked the warehouse by himself.

  He also assigned extra guards around the warehouse and cautioned not to make any mistakes.

  ”Patriarch, do we really have the chance this time?” some of the elders who followed Liu Huai asked.

  The reason they asked wasn’t because they didn’t believe Liu Huai, it was just that they have experienced too many blows within this period that they have begun to lose confidence.

  The current Liu family was no longer the previous Liu family.

  It was impossible for them not to admit this.

  It was not that their Liu family strength was poor, but they met an opponent, someone too powerful, too difficult to deal with.

  Liu Huai, with his hands behind his back, coldly swept a glance at the speaker. “Don’t boost someone else’s morale, and destroy your own prestige. We have made full preparations, so this time, it must work against all odds. No matter what method, Fu Yuzheng’s small cloth shop must be trampled upon! It’s nothing but a small shop, a tiny workshop, that wants to swallow a huge cake like the palace’s special supplier. I’m afraid they can’t swallow it down!”

  Someone next to him immediately echoed, “It is also because the Fu family are too useless from the outset. They can’t even compete with the orphan they drove out of their family, which finally reduced them to their current state. Now our family has lost a lot of help.”

  ”What if they help? What if they don’t? We’re fortunate that the Fu residence was raided. Otherwise, with Fu Shuyuan’s stolen dyeing skills, I’m afraid that he will drag down even our entire Liu family after we really gave him such a significant job!”

  The rest nodded.

  Wasn’t that the case?

  In other words, Fu Yuzheng also indirectly helped them preserve their home and cut off a latent sore.

  Otherwise, with Fu Shuyuan’s craftsmanship, the dyed fabrics would definitely fade. Once the scandal spreads, wouldn’t the Liu family’s painstaking efforts vanish in a puff of smoke?

  If the Emperor pursued it, it was very likely that even their Liu residences would be raided.

  Consort Liu could no longer shelter them.

  That was a crime of deceiving His Majesty!

  ”Stop mentioning the past.” Liu Huai snapped coldly, “The Fu family’s collapse is their business. Do we still need to rely on the Fu family to revive? There are many craftsmen who know how to dye. As long as we can afford their price, are you still going to be afraid that no one will help us?”

  ”Patriarch is right. The artisans we hired with a fortune have all arrived in the capital. As long as we are ready, they can start dyeing the cloth immediately. There is still half a month before the concubine registry ceremony, so it shouldn’t be too late. When the time comes, it will be time for us to turn over and hold our heads high!”

  Liu Huai smiled coldly. When that time comes, it’ll be time for that party to cry rivers of tears!

  Fu Yuzheng has not yet acquired enough special fabrics.

  It would be a huge crime to wait until the day when the cloth needed to be handed over and fail to deliver them.

  In serious cases, people would be beheaded.

  Of course, with Feng Qingbai and Feng Mohan around, beheading was impossible.

  But there were many involved with Fu Yuzheng; the Liu family of Xinghua Village was also bound to be greatly wounded. By then, their tiny cloth shop could never rise to their feet in the capital. 

  At the appropriate time, he would leak some news and show his kindness to the Liu family in Xinghua Village, steering the wind direction of the people to their side once more.

  The rumors that the so-called two Lius were a family would sound more realistic. Everything would be in place, allowing them to swallow Liu Yusheng into the Liu family in the capital soon.

  In half a month, 2000 pieces of fabric have to be dyed. The time in question wasn’t enough.

  Yet, the Liu family hired more artisans at this juncture.

  Finishing printing and dyeing the cloth before the grand ceremony would pose no problems.

  During this period, the Liu family paid close attention to the movements of Fu Yuzheng’s small cloth shop. After knowing that Fu Yuzheng was still worrying about the fabric, Liu Huai sneered.

  When the capital’s Liu family was preparing for the ceremony, Feng Mohan was laughing wildly at the table in the imperial study.

  He laughed so hard that his tears burst out.

  ”Imperial Uncle, you haven’t seen that dead old witch. Her hair is disheveled, and she didn’t even have time to wear a robe. She rushed out with her bare feet and screamed all the way, just like a mad woman. She has always paid so much attention to her appearance, yet her deportment now is absolutely hideous. It’s enough for her to grit her teeth inwardly!”

  Seeing the man who was ambling around the office as if he hadn’t heard him, Feng Mohan rubbed his small belly that hurt from laughing and approached him, his eyes crystal bright and shining.

  ”Uncle, are you still going to scare her tonight? Almost all the people close to her are dead. Who are you going to deal with this time? Uncle, you are so powerful. You not only scared the old witch to nuts, but also took the opportunity to eradicate her trusted lackeys, killing two birds with one stone. It’s very gratifying! Did Uncle Wei and the others do this? Uncle Wei’s martial arts is becoming increasingly powerful. He treated entering the imperial palace like entering a barren land. The imperial guards in front of the gates of the Qingning Palace are rendered useless. At this point, even the commander of the Imperial Guard Army was so furious that he was on the verge of vomiting blood. Today, I ran into him head-on when I was going back to court. Oh, his black face could drip ink. I can die laughing!”

  Reminded of the expression of the commander of the Imperial Guards, Feng Mohan felt relieved.

  That fellow always opposed him, and he would stop him wherever he wanted to go.

  Putting on such a business-like face, who didn’t know that he was actually Qin Xiao’s henchman?

  He said he would protect him, the Emperor, but he was actually monitoring him.

  In the future, he must find an opportunity and let his Imperial Uncle eliminate him all together.

  The more the little boy talked, the more excited he became, and his vitality was oozing from his head to his foot.

  Feng Qingbai only glanced at him lightly, and continued to focus on the government affairs in front of him.

  He went to Xuzhou for less than a month, with the intention of taking the opportunity to hone Feng Mohan.

  Unexpectedly, when he came back, what he saw was Liu Zhixia sitting in front of the desk and helping to review the memorial files, painstakingly.

  Feng Mohan, on the other hand, simply sprawled on his stomach and fell asleep beside him.

  He was so angry that he spanked Feng Mohan several times.

  There were policies on the top and countermeasures on the bottom. He didn’t expect that Feng Mohan entertained the idea of recruiting Liu Zhixia and training him as a backup helper.

  What a job well done!
