This time, Su Yueying directly set her target on Emperor Jing Zhao.

Once she gains the favor of this supreme ruler, she will gain nearly ten thousand points of luck.

She urged Emperor Jing Zhao to recall Su Yunling to the capital as soon as possible to cut open Su Yunling's heart and take out her blood. Only in this way could Emperor Jing Zhao recover soon.

Emperor Jing Zhao was obviously attracted by Su Yunling's blood, but he was also wary of her identity as a fox demon.

Su Yueying said that although Su Yunling was a demon, he had not yet mastered his magic, so they could not delay any longer.

Under Su Yueying's instigation, Emperor Jing Zhao drafted an imperial decree on the spot to summon Su Yunling back to the capital to treat his illness.

If they dare to disobey the order, we will take this opportunity to charge them with the crime of treason for disobeying the order.

Su Yueying was not idle while waiting for Su Yunling to return to Beijing. Since she had admitted that she was from another world, she naturally had to do something to win the emperor's heart.

She used the distillation method to produce fine salt, and the lime adsorption method to produce crystal clear white sugar.

For a time, the name "Yingyue" became a household name in Shangjing.

What surprised Emperor Jing Zhao the most was that she used gunpowder to make a cannon with amazing power.

Emperor Jing Zhao finally believed that she was a person from another world. He not only granted her a mansion, but also rewarded her with a lot of silver.

For a time, she was extremely popular and became a guest of honor for many celebrities in Beijing.

Su Yueying was so happy when she saw her luck value rising continuously.

At this rate, it would take less than two years for her to accumulate enough luck to become an empress.

Emperor Jing Zhao had new hope, and his originally frail health miraculously improved.

From being unable to get out of bed to being able to barely attend court.

The first thing he did after arriving at court was to suppress officials who had contact with Prince Su.

Grand Tutor Fu was the first to be hit and was accused of abusing his power for personal gain and accepting bribes.

Fu Wanshu was dressed in men's clothing and sorting out the accounts at Baicao Hall when he heard a servant report:

"Miss, it's bad...something happened at home..."

When Fu Wanshu hurried back home, Grand Tutor Fu and his eldest son had already been imprisoned, and the Fu family was in chaos.

Upon asking, I found out that the account books of Master Fu's embezzlement and bribery over the years were found in his study.

Coincidentally, Grand Tutor Fu’s eldest son, who was a local governor, was also found to have embezzled military pay.

This time both father and son were investigated, and their property was confiscated and they were dismissed from office.

However, the Fu family knew very well that it was impossible for them to accept bribes.

This was just a means for Emperor Jing Zhao to "kill the chicken to scare the monkeys", the purpose of which was to warn others not to make friends with Prince Su's forces.

"I told you from the beginning that you can't get close to Prince Su, but father just wouldn't listen. He even went to Prince Su's mansion to express his gratitude in a big way. Now what? We are all going to be killed!"

The one who spoke was the second uncle of the Fu family, who had an angry face.

"Fu Lao Er, what nonsense are you talking about? Your father and elder brother are still suffering in prison, and you don't try to find a way to get them back, but you blame your father. Who gave you all the wealth and glory you have had these years?"

The old lady of the Fu family pointed at her disappointing second son and trembled with anger.

Fu Lao Er put his hands in his sleeves and muttered, "What can I do? The only way is to divide the house before the confiscation of property comes. Maybe we can save some of the property this way."

"Yes, mother, let's divide the family now! If we divide the family, it won't be taken away by the government!" Fu Laoer's wife immediately became excited, her face full of expectation, and she didn't care at all about her father-in-law being imprisoned.

"Second wife, are you speaking human language? Father and eldest brother are in trouble now, and you are trying to distance yourself from it. You are simply heartless and treacherous." The wife of the third wife could no longer endure it.

Fu Lao Er couldn't bear it any longer and shouted, "If a man doesn't work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth! Father and eldest brother usually favor you three houses, you should sacrifice your lives for them, don't drag us into it, we don't get any benefit from it."

"Fu Lao Er! You bastard who is unfilial to your parents and disrespectful to your brother and sister-in-law, are you speaking human language? If your father and brother had not always taken care of you, with your lazy, cunning and cowardly appearance, how could you have found a wife and lived a life of luxury?" The old lady pointed at his nose and questioned.

Fu Lao Er avoided his mother's gaze and said to himself, "Don't think I don't know that you secretly give 200 taels of silver to the third room every year, but our second room gets nothing. Isn't this partiality?"

When the old lady heard what he said, her chest almost exploded, and she raised her cane and hit him:

"How dare you say that the third wife got an extra 200 taels? Would the third wife have jumped into the icy lake and gotten sick if she hadn't saved your trouble-making son? Didn't she use all that money to buy medicine to recuperate? How dare you refuse to accept it?"

"That doesn't cost two hundred taels, does it?"

"Stop arguing. The family will not be divided as long as our parents are alive. Moreover, in the current situation, if they really want to confiscate our property, it will be too late to divide it. Uncle and aunt, you should just give up on this idea!" Fu Wanshu's clear voice was loud and powerful, with a strength that he had never shown before.

After hearing this, Fu Lao Er showed displeasure: "Why are you, a junior, butting in? It's all because of you, a jinx. You got married but got rejected. It's really embarrassing."

Second Aunt Fu also echoed: "Isn't it? I thought I could become a prince's consort and bring honor to our Fu family, but who knew that in the end I would be nothing and have to stay in the mansion for free for the rest of my life. It is said that it is unlucky for a woman to be sent back to her parents' home. Isn't this a disaster for us?"

"You guys..." Fu Wanshu's eyes turned red with anger. She didn't expect that her second uncle and second aunt, who seemed honest and simple in the past, would have such a strange side.

"Shu'er, don't pay attention to those ungrateful people from the second house. This is not your fault."

Third Aunt came up to comfort her, and her mother and grandmother also gave her comforting looks.

But she still blamed herself in her heart. This disaster did have something to do with her, but the most urgent task now was to find out the emperor's attitude towards the Fu family.

On that day, the imperial edict of Emperor Jing Zhao came down, and both Grand Tutor Fu and his eldest son were dismissed from their official posts. At the same time, all the property of the Fu family was confiscated and put into the national treasury, and the Fu family mansion was also sealed off.

Perhaps because he was afraid of Grand Tutor Fu's prestige in the court and was afraid that loyalty would fade, Emperor Jing Zhao did not intend to kill them all.

Instead, considering that Grand Tutor Fu was once a close minister of the Great Yin Dynasty and was also old, he did not want to take his life and only locked up the father and son.

The Fu family moved from their bustling mansion on Yongning Street to a quiet alley on the outskirts of the city.

The original servants were all dismissed, and a family of more than thirty people, young and old, were crowded into an old two-story courtyard.

They bought this small courtyard by pooling together the money they had secretly hidden.

After buying the yard, the next question became how to support the whole family.

Although Master Fu had many close friends, asking them for help at a time like this would be tantamount to ruining their future.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

These young masters, young ladies and ladies were used to a good life with everything provided for them. Now they suddenly became poor, and anyone would feel disappointed.

The six members of the second house were all arrogant and domineering. They wanted the best room and the least work. They didn't contribute any money, but they were never satisfied with the advantages, which made the first and third houses complain.

Fu Wanshu saw the true face of her second uncle's family. Fortunately, no one in her family knew that she had money.

When she opened Fengyue Tower, she did not use the identity of Miss Fu, so naturally it was not confiscated.

The wealth she had accumulated from doing business over the years far exceeded the total assets of the entire Fu family...
