FID – Chapter 512

  Chapter 512:  Spurt Out a Mouthful of Blood

  After receiving a spanking from his Imperial Uncle, Feng Mohan didn’t dare to argue. He sat back to his original position with his neck shrank, picked up the brush and did his homework conscientiously.

  He occasionally raised his head in intervals, glanced at the man sitting opposite him, and while he was not paying attention, he swished his brush and wrote a name on the white paper hidden underneath his textbook.

  As long as he thought of something, someone that he suspected was Consort Liu’s lackeys, he wrote all their names.

  He made a long list. He would then give it to his Uncle, so that his Uncle could let someone cut their heads off later.

  In a place like the palace, there were prying eyes and ears everywhere that people planted.

  If they could take this opportunity to remove those spies in the shadows that the stinky old witch has placed all over the palace, would she still be able to act arrogantly in the future?

  Even if his Uncle didn’t kill her, she would be restrained motionlessly.

  If she wanted to cultivate a group of henchmen again, the time it would take wasn’t a matter of a few days or a few months.

  Once the old witch deployed those forces anew, he would have grown up, and his wings would have already hardened. Did he still need to fear her?

  Oh-ho-ho, Old Witch, this Young Master will choose a feng shui treasure land for you now. It’ll be waiting for you to live in!

  The side concubine ceremony was in mid-June.

  The time was approaching day by day, and in the blink of an eye, only five days was left.

  Liu Huai has sent someone to keep an eye on Fu Yuzheng’s movements.

  They have determined that she still has not acquired enough cloth, yet there were only five days left. Even if she could collect enough, it would be too late to carry out a large number of dyeing.

  Except for the election of the first Beauty General Election, this was the second time that Fu Yuzheng would supply special fabrics to the palace.

  On the second time, she would mess up. He could almost visualize what kind of consequences Fu Yuzheng would suffer next.

  This time, it was Fu Yuzheng’s dead end.

  Feng Mohan and Feng Qingbai backed her up, but if Fu Yuzheng’s blunder was obvious to all, it would be impossible for them to cover it up.

  They might be the Son of Heaven and the Regent, but they couldn’t take the matter lightly either. Otherwise, how could they convince the public?

  Once Fu Yuzheng was convicted, as her husband, would Liu Zhixia still be able to perform?

  After this incident, Liu Zhixia’s career would be equivalent to stepping into the grave with one foot, facing his end at any moment.

  Moreover, Fu Yuzheng was Liu Yusheng’s partner in business, or a subordinate should be the more appropriate term.

  Then Liu Yusheng couldn’t get away either.

  When something happened to Liu Yusheng, Feng Qingbai would definitely not stand watching by. He would definitely help.

  By then, Consort Liu, who was in the same vein as Prime Minister Zuo, would have the opportunity to seize his fault and stomp on him.

  This game of chess could be described as a slight move in one part but affecting the whole situation.

  For the Liu family and the Consort Liu faction, it could be regarded as a one fell swoop.

  Liu Huai sneered while rehearsing the upcoming good show in his mind.

  After taking the lead a few times, that bunch of young people really thought they were amazing.

  They wanted to fight him, huh? They were still far behind!

  On this day, after a round of discussions with the elders of the clan and the outstanding children of the family, Liu Huai sat in the hall and sipped the nourishing tea bought from the Qian Family Tea House.

  For the first time, the taste of this tea was quite wonderful.

  Different mental state, different flavor.

  It wouldn’t take long for this nourishing tea to become the possession of his Liu family too.

  The taste of his possession, and other people’s possessions was totally different despite them being one and the same thing.

  ”Patriarch! Patriarch, it’s terrible. Something big has happened!” The Liu residence’s steward came rushing in in a panic, staggering, and his face was pale.

  Liu Huai frowned. He put the teacup in his hand on the table forcefully and questioned, “What’s the big deal that makes you yell like this? What a disgrace!”

  The steward ignored the reprimand. He gasped for breath and said anxiously, “Patriarch, go take a look! Something has happened in the cloth workshop! Those fabrics used for printing and dyeing, those silks… a-all have mildew spots! They all grew… fluff!”

  Liu Huai shot up to his feet and rushed out, bumping into countless people along the way.

  His self-satisfaction earlier has all but sank to the bottom in an instant.

  A terrible premonition enveloped him completely.

  Mildew!

  He thought of the previous Liu family’s tea, which also suddenly grew moldy, and triggered a series of reactions, resulting in the Liu family’s fall from the pedestal as the most powerful and the wealthiest family to their present state where they couldn’t even rise up!

  Now, it was that mildew again!

  Liu Yusheng’s face flashed first in his mind.

  This couldn’t be an accident!

  He rushed to the cloth workshop anxiously and sprinted into the inner courtyard.

  On the high hanging racks, the fine silk fabrics with light texture and bright colors fluttered in the wind, which looked extremely beautiful at first glance.

  Liu Huai was panting heavily, and under the dazed gazes of the surrounding craftsmen, he stepped forward, slowly approached the fabrics, and stretched out his hands to smooth the fabrics.

  On the fabric in front of him, a tiny mildew the size of a grain of rice was densely distributed amidst the colorful colors.

  The area is all over the fabric, and green hair even grows in some places!

  The range has spread throughout the entire fabric, and some locations even have green hairs growing out!

  Ruined, completely ruined!

  He exhausted his energy and financial resources to set up this game, but it was ruined again!

  The Liu family had been hit one after another, and the family property had shrunk considerably. For this battle, he almost took out all the cash that the Liu family could use and brought everything in from the Pan State. He spent everything in vain.

  In order to turn around, he even conspired with Consort Liu and Prime Minister Zuo, so that they could help him replace the special supplier!

  He swore and assured them that he would rise to the top as long as Fu Yuzheng had an accident. By then, the Liu family in the capital would make a comeback and reach new heights, and his tributes to the two of them would definitely not be less than before!

  ”Liu Yusheng! Xue Qinglian! Liu Yusheng—!” He slammed the cloth from his hand and flung it to the ground. His eyes turned red and mad, sweetness filled his tumultuous chest, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

  ”Patriarch!”

  ”Big Boss!”

  Around, panicked voices rose one after another, and someone seemed to have stepped forward to support him.

  But Liu Huai felt numb. Only Liu Yusheng’s face kept popping up in his mind, taunting him with the corners of her lips hooked!

  Liu Huai’s eyes darkened, and he passed out. 

  When he woke up again, he found himself in the bedroom.

  In front of the bed were the elders and children of the clan, as well as a bunch of weeping female relatives.

  The whole room was extremely noisy and buzzing, making his ears and head twinge.

  The tumultuous fluctuation in his chest made him want to roar and kill all those who were disturbing him, but he didn’t even have the strength to speak.

  ”Patriarch, are you awake? Patriarch, think of a way! How do you think things suddenly turned out this way?! Isn’t everything going well? Why is there mildew on the fabric? How is this going to work?”

  As soon as the people in the room saw that Liu Huai was awake, they immediately cursed loudly and angrily, shouting and yelling for him to quickly come up with a solution. Meanwhile, their mouths kept criticizing bitterly.

  ”There are still four days before the imperial concubine ceremony. It’s too late, it’s definitely too late! All the fabrics are useless!. How are we going to deal with Fu Yuzheng? How are we going to deal with the Liu family in Xinghua Village?! That’s the last money our family can spend!”
