FID – Chapter 534

  Chapter 534: Blurted Out the Name So Smoothly

  The results were consistently surprising.

  As the heated discussion wore off, they looked back and thought about it, and it seemed logical.

  When it came to the Ruyi County Lady and the Liu family of Xinghua Village, another matter once again increasingly intensified in the people’s speculation.

  The two Lius were one family.

  This rumor was on the brink of becoming true.

  Nobody knew who started talking about it, saying that the ancestors’ names recorded in the genealogy of the Liu family in the capital included the ancestors of the Liu family in Xinghua Village.

  That ancestor used to be a branch of the Liu family in the capital, but was driven out due to a crime he committed. Finally, he settled down in Xinghua Village, Yunzhou.

  Although it had been ages ago, the genealogy records were definitely not false.

  In other words, the Xinghua Village Liu Family was indeed a branch of the capital’s Liu family.

  As long as they were recognized by the main branch, they could recognize their ancestors and join the clan at any time.

  ”Those shameless Liu creatures! Seeing that they had no chance of recovery, they really entertained this idea!” Qian Wanjin was so furious that he wanted to throw the teacup. He remembered that he was not in the Qian’s residence, so he restrained himself.

  The Liu elders gathered together, and their faces could not be painted when they sat in the living room.

  After they came to the capital, they hardly went out for a stroll, so they were unaware of the movement of Lius outside. They also did not know the rumors spreading outside.

  If it weren’t for this big trouble, the few juniors probably would have kept it from them until now.

  ”What the hell is going on?  How can there be rumors that our ancestors belonged to their clan? It’s ridiculous! How could they get the details of our ancestors wrong?!” The teacup that Qian Wanjin didn’t smash was hurled by Grandpa Liu. He was honestly furious. 

  They knew that the Liu family in the capital was shameless. They just didn’t expect them to be shameless to such an extent.

  This showed that they wanted to swallow their family from Xinghua Village!

  Even small families knew the rules of some prestigious clans. In prestigious clans, as long as the main branch made a decision, the branches have no right to refuse. They could only obey like vassals!

  ”Everyone, don’t panic. This matter hasn’t erupted yet. We can think of a way to deal with it. No matter what they are after, it won’t succeed,” Liu Yusheng comforted the elders.

  ”Nannan is right. Let’s have a look at what tricks they have and not panic. Besides, Axiu has already started to make arrangements long ago. The final outcome is still uncertain. However, no matter what, the Liu family will never succeed.” The matter became so serious that even Liu Zhixia did not go to the palace for work today. He accompanied Fu Yuzheng and his family to come up with solutions.

  Although his mind was heavy, he was not flustered. He had talked to Feng Qingbai about the gossip outside. Feng Qingbai said that he had an arrangement in place, so something was definitely out there. He believed him.

  ”Then, did Axiu say what arrangements he had made? You have to let us know so we won’t panic. You keep hiding everything. Do you think we can stop worrying about it?” Grandma Liu frowned. Her heart was pounding incessantly, unable to calm down.

  These kids were really unbelievable. They actually concealed such a huge matter for so long. They never leaked a word about it.

  Otherwise, how could they be in such panic and confusion now?

  ”Since they have taken the first step, they will definitely take the second and the third. Rumors have already been widespread, and then they will definitely provide evidence to prove the rumors.” Xue Qinglian pondered. The usual carelessness on his face faded away. “If we want to counterattack, we can only wait for them to take the next step. The key point is the genealogy thing. If this is not clarified, you might end up really becoming a family.”

  Although it wasn’t his business, he had stayed with the Liu family for so long, so he couldn’t stand idly by and let Lucky Nannan’s family be annexed.

  Otherwise, once they fell into the hands of the Liu family, could he still be so free? Can he take medicine from Lucky Nannan any time he wants to research?

  By then, the Liu family would probably chew him completely, bones included.

  Qian Wanjin grimaced and gritted his teeth. “We should have suppressed them early on until they can’t stand on their feet, or better yet ruined their family. Let’s see if they still have the energy to figure things out!”

  Xue Qinglian gave him a side glance. “The more you do that, the more ruthless they will be. With the only life-saving straw in their hands, they will drag Lucky Nannan down even if it means breaking their bones to climb up.”

  No energy?

  In your dreams.

  Just like the Liu family in the capital, as long as they were not dead, they would never miss any chance to turn over.

  They have been prominent for so many years. Now that they fell into the mud, could they be reconciled?

  Xue Qinglian stroked his chin and exchanged glances with Qian Wanjin. For the first time, they had a tacit understanding. “Shall we kill them?”

  The several elders of the Liu family, “…”

  Liu Yusheng face-palmed and looked at them helplessly. “Don’t come up with wicked ideas at this time. If you really kill people, do you think you can run away?”

  The yamen wasn’t just for show.

  Behind the Liu family in the capital were Consort Liu, and two talented ladies who have entered the palace. If their clan was decimated, could they just stand by?

  They would most likely chase you to the ends of the world.

  Killing them was an option, just let them live a lifetime of desperation.

  ”The Lius were forced into a corner and are struggling to death. Qian Wanjin and Xue Qinglian had ruined their tea plantations, rendering them unable to produce tea, and the goods that they poured their wealth out were again swallowed by us. The clan has entered a dead end. This last fight is probably the last card in their hands. We should not panic or take it lightly. When His Highness comes back, we should discuss the countermeasures with him carefully,” Fu Yuzheng said. 

  The Lius have always been the support of the Fu family, and she knew a lot about them, even more thoroughly than Qian Wanjin.

  Grandpa Liu nodded, “Then, let’s wait for Axiu’s return. Anyway, it’s absolutely impossible for our family to be a branch of anyone. Don’t even think about it!”

  If they were to be truly trapped, he would have no face to face their ancestors once he was buried deep underground.

  Feng Qingbai came back in time for dinner before nightfall.

  After  Consort Liu was stabbed, the palace has been under martial law. Her subordinates found various excuses to hand over memorials, demanding that the assassin must be found out. The assassin must absolutely not go unpunished.

  She was dedicated to giving him work.

  It took him a lot of time to deal with those garbage memorials.

  By the time he returned, he saw the grandpa, the grandma, his father-in-law, his mother-in-law, and the others all with serious expressions. In an instant, he realized why.

  ”Axiu, you are back.” Seeing Feng Qingbai entering the door, the grandma’s dignified expression unconsciously relaxed.

  So did several others.

  It was just that they didn’t realize that they had long used Feng Qingbai as their pillar.

  ”Grandpa, Grandma, father-in-law, mother-in-law, you don’t need to worry about things outside and leave everything to me. Go about with your days as usual. This matter will sink after a while.” Feng Qingbai sat naturally beside Liu Yusheng and smiled to comfort the few people.

  Qian Wanjin and Xue Qinglian squinted at him at the same time.

  The cheeky rat! What father-in-law and mother-in-law, he utters them quite smoothly.

  He really wasn’t embarrassed at all, rushing to establish his identity before marrying Lucky Nannan.

  Was he afraid others might not know that he was the son-in-law of the Liu family?

  ”Come on, Feng Qingbai, can you stop keeping us in suspense? If you have a way to deal with the people out there,  tell us so that we can sleep peacefully at night.”
