A dream ends life

Chunshui asked in confusion, "Why did Madam want Lord Lu to participate in the Four Nations' trade?"

Su Ci's eyes were leisurely, "Of course it's because Lu Bohuai is upright and honest."

When she saw that Liu Yunjin was among the messengers from Qi State, she guessed that there would be members of the Liu family in the Siguo Trade City.

You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. The fact that Liu Yunjin came to Dongyong shows that he knows the details of the affairs in Qi State.

Facing Qi State, whose background she didn't know, all she could do was to make herself worry-free.

Chunshui asked, "Master Lu's character is okay, but where does his integrity come from?"

Su Ci chuckled: "He has been in the Imperial Academy for eight or nine years. If he is not too upright, how could he not advance to the next level?"

The house is rented, which shows the character of Mr. Lu.

Although the Four Kingdoms Commercial City is under the jurisdiction of Qi State, the imperial courts of various countries will send people there to supervise and inspect it.

This is a lucrative job, and someone like Lord Lu probably won't even get it, but she doesn't mind giving him this opportunity, it's just a piece of cake.

Su Ci's carriage went all the way south, and after entering an unknown town, the carriage disappeared.

The two people who were following them dug the entire town three feet deep, but still could not find any trace of Su Ci and his group. They had no choice but to leave one person to continue searching while the other returned to the capital to report.

"What? You said that several living people and the carriage disappeared out of thin air."

The eldest princess looked dangerously at the secret guard kneeling below her.

The secret guard lowered his head. He didn't see the person disappear out of thin air, but he definitely couldn't find the person.

"Oh! She's on guard against me!"

The eldest princess laughed out of anger, but she did not attack the secret guards again afterwards.

"Forget it, as long as what she does does not hinder this princess, let her go!"

She was used to controlling others, so she couldn't help but send people to follow Su Ci. They didn't do anything, just wanted to know her every move.

Since Su Ci minds, she won't meddle in it.

Even though that person is quiet, he won't give anyone a chance to suffer if he wants to. She doesn't want to anger him.

The capital city was in a state of chaos and it seemed like it had nothing to do with her, but in fact, she was responsible for everything, and everything was linked together, without any bloodshed.

It is better for such people to be in the same camp. Only when the blade is facing outward can she feel at ease.

Su Ci's departure did not cause any waves in Shangjing. Instead, Shi Yuyan, with the support of Princess Changle, launched a comprehensive attack on Su Ci's shop.

She believed that this time she would be able to take advantage of her completely and make her a pauper again, returning to the village to farm.

Her prices kept dropping, and the noble ladies in the capital were ecstatic. They could now buy three pieces with the money they normally spent on one piece of jewelry. Anyone who didn't buy one would be stupid.

Customers flocked to Zhenbaolou, and Shi Yuyan quickly rose to prominence. She opened shops one after another, and she sold everything that Su Ci sold, focusing on a targeted approach.

Shi Yuyan was very proud and felt that it was time to expand and strengthen the wine business.

Although he opened many shops, he didn't make much money.

She needed to recover funds, and the liquor business was the one she planned to make a lot of money from. The others were all aimed at Su Ci's shop.

As long as she has the liquor business to support her, she can squeeze out Su Ci's shops and force them to close down!

He sorted out the funds he had and spent almost all of it in one go to open five liquor stores in Shangjing.

She has a recipe for wine, and the head of the Shi family has left her a lot of resources in Shangjing. As long as the wine is on the market, she can make a profit quickly.

That is her biggest trump card, and the reason why she dares to burn her boats.

As she expected, the wine business was indeed promising. Since the fall of the Shi family, the wine business in Shangjing City had been filled with local famous wines shipped from all over Dongyong by other merchants. The tastes were different, and the people of Shangjing did not recognize them very much.

With her wine recipes, those substandard foreign wines were indeed squeezed out.

It quickly captured the market in Shangjing, and was especially in line with the tastes of the upper class. For a time, everyone praised Shijia wine.

At the same time, the forgotten Shi family was also mentioned. There were even voices saying that the Shi family was framed and that their crime did not warrant exile, and that the head of the Shi family died unjustly.

Some people even spoke out to overturn the Shi family's verdict.

Shi Yuyan was excited when she heard the report from her subordinates. It would be soon. Soon her family would be able to return to Shangjing from that desolate place!

Grandfather, did you see that? Fortunately, my granddaughter has fulfilled her mission.

The Shi family's glory will soon return.

He took out a brocade box from the drawer of the study, examined it carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem with it, he took it out of the Regent's Palace.

After the carriage drove away, a figure flashed out from behind the gate.

He turned around and went straight to Rong'an Courtyard, where Xu was waiting.

"Madam, Aunt Shi went to Princess Changle's mansion."

Mrs. Xu's face was grim. "What a daughter of the Shi family. She is really a businessman who only cares about profit. My son promised her wealth and honor so that she could avoid exile. What a traitor!"

Liu Zhenzhen looked proud. How could such a restless woman stay in her cousin's backyard? She didn't deserve it!

"Aunt, my uncle died so unjustly. He was tortured so badly before he died. And my cousin is still lying in bed and can't go out. The real murderer who framed them is still at large. How can we tolerate this!"

Mrs. Xu was so angry that she threw the teacup hard and said, "Of course we can't let them have an easy time, otherwise your uncle's spirit in heaven won't rest in peace."

That bitch Shi Yuyan was actually having an affair with Princess Changle. It seems the news was not false. Princess Changle was the real murderer who killed her brother!

By the way, didn’t Shi Yuyan get in touch with Han’er while in prison? Han’er showed mercy and took her out of prison because she had been devoted to the Xu family father and son.

Who knows if there is something else going on here? Maybe Princess Changle instructed her to do so. She gained Han'er's love and successfully moved into the palace.

Xu Zhinian and Xu Qingyun also became scapegoats for Princess Changle. This bitch stepped on her brother's corpse and wanted the Shi family to rise and let Princess Changle go unpunished!

She had to find a way to make both her and Princess Changle die miserably!

After so many changes, Xu has become more scheming. She is now the biological mother of the Prince Regent. Even if she wants Princess Changle to die, she cannot do it in a high-profile manner. It would be best to kill Princess Changle quietly, or put the blame on someone else and not implicate her.

I have to say, if the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery knew who the scapegoat was, she would also wonder how that scapegoat would feel.

One person's plan is short, two people's plan is long, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang!

She went to Xu Qingyun's yard. Yu Luohan was not there, so Xu Qingyun was the only one she could discuss with. Moreover, he was the victim, so revenge would only count if the person involved participated.

After Xu Qingyun heard what Mrs. Xu had explained about the real cause of Wu Shizi's death, he almost jumped out of bed.

It turns out that the suffering he and his father endured is not counted, his father's life was lost in such an unclear manner.

How could these people be so hateful!
