Mother and son join forces to abuse the scum to seize power and fight for the family property!

"Mother, you must get better soon!" Gu Huan said worriedly.

In the past, his mother was sick and couldn't take care of him, so he might be happy.

But now his mother is willing to take him out for fun, and he doesn’t want his mother to be sick all the time!

Su Yuan smiled and said, "Okay! Mother promised Huan'er that she would get better soon."

No wonder!

She won't recover until this storm is over.

She wanted to see how Zhou and the others would force Gu Huan to go to the academy.

In the past, the original body had to use threats, inducements, and a combination of soft and hard tactics to scare Gu Huan.

From now on, this annoying task will be handed over to Zhou and his team.

Gu Huan stayed with Su Yuan for two hours, and he would not leave until Su Yuan coaxed him to leave.

Su Yuan felt relieved after letting Li Mo send Gu Huan out.

She stretched and got up to have dinner.

"Madam, you didn't see it just now, but the young master beat Liang Yinyin until she cried." Li Mo said gloatingly while scooping soup for Su Yuan.

Before, Liang Yinyin and the others teamed up to bully their wife, but now they are fine.

The young master took out his anger on his wife.

Su Yuan became interested. "Oh? Huan'er beat Liang Yinyin to tears? What happened?"

Li Mo then vividly recounted to Su Yuan how Liang Yinyin had tried to persuade Gu Huan with all her heart, but was slapped in the face by Gu Huan.

Su Yuan drank the soup with a faint smile.

The reincarnation of heaven and the retribution of karma.

Liang Yinyin must have felt extremely ashamed after being slapped by her own son, but she had no way to vent her feelings and could only cry in grievance.

The suffering that the original body had suffered before was gradually transferred to Liang Yinyin.

The Zhennan Marquis's Mansion was in chaos, but Su Yuan was still hiding in her room pretending to be sick.

After Gu Zhiquan came to look for her last time and failed, he never set foot in her yard again.

Zhou and Liang Yinyin came twice, but were both turned away by Su Yuan on the grounds that she was afraid of infecting them with her disease.

At the end of October, they finally coaxed Gu Huan into going to the academy.

Gu Huan went to the academy, and Su Yuan's "illness" also got better.

After she recovered from her illness, she went directly to Yuxianglou.

Yuxianglou is the largest industry of Duke Yu’s Mansion. Among her five shops, three are teahouses. Duke Yu’s Mansion should be very interested in it.

The five shops of the Li family in Kyoto all have red deeds, and Su Yuan’s name is written on the deeds.

Without Su Yuan’s personal signature at the yamen, these five shops could not be sold, but now she wants to sell all five shops.

First, she cut off Zhou's financial resources, and then she asked Li Chong to stop sending money to Kyoto, completely cutting off the financial resources of the Marquis' Mansion.

When they arrived at Yuxiang Tower, Su Yuan went down wearing a veil hat.

Duke Yuguo and the Marquis of Zhennan had a feud, and the only person in Kyoto who was willing to buy her shop was Duke Yuguo.

Even if others dare to buy, they are too lazy to wade into the muddy water.

So, she could only find Duke Yuguo Lu Qin.

"I need a private room, and I'd like your shopkeeper to come over." Su Yuan stuffed five taels of silver into the waiter's hand as she entered the room. She added, "I want to see your head shopkeeper."

The head shopkeeper of Yuxianglou is definitely qualified to meet the boss, and the boss must step in to buy the five shops from her.

The waiter did not dare to delay and led Su Yuan into the side room.

Not long after, the head manager of Yuxianglou arrived.

The other person was a fat man in his forties. He looked at Su Yuan.

He felt that Su Yuan looked familiar, so he asked tentatively, "Madam of the Marquis of Zhennan?"

He is a businessman and now works for Duke Yu.

But he used to run his own teahouse. He knew Li Yanhua and had met Li Yanhua's granddaughter once.

He doesn't have any advantages except that he remembers people clearly.

In addition, Su Yuan is beautiful, so it is normal that he can remember her for more than ten years after meeting her once.

Su Yuan laughed, "Does the shopkeeper recognize me?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "My last name is Huang. I met Madam Li at Mr. Li's birthday party more than ten years ago. She was not married at that time."

Su Yuan felt admiration. He could remember her for so long even though they had only met once every ten years.

This memory is admirable.

"Since Manager Huang recognizes me, there's no need for me to introduce myself. I came here today to ask Manager Huang to arrange a meeting between me and your boss. I have five shops and I want to sell them to your boss." Su Yuan directly stated her purpose.

Shopkeeper Huang widened his eyes. Why did Su Yuan want to sell the shop for no reason?

As far as he knew, Su Yuan's five shops made profits every year and had good business.

Is she willing to sell the shop?

Since there is money to be made, why cut off the way to make money?

"May I ask one more question, madam, why do you want to sell the shop?" Shopkeeper Huang asked curiously.

Su Yuan smiled but said nothing. "Anyway, I'd like to trouble Shopkeeper Huang to inform your boss. We can discuss the details later, okay?"

Shopkeeper Huang: ...

What could he say?

He is just a shopkeeper. Does he have the right to speak?

"Don't worry, ma'am. I will make sure it's all arranged." Shopkeeper Huang asked no more questions.

Su Yuan drank tea, ate some snacks, and then returned to the Zhennan Marquis Mansion.

Two days later, someone from Yuxianglou came to deliver a letter.

Su Yuan went to Yuxianglou.

The person who came was Lu Qin, Duke of Yu.

Lu Qin is forty years old this year, but he has been practicing martial arts for many years and looks younger than his peers.

"Madam of the Marquis of Zhennan? I heard that you want to sell your shop to me?" Lu Qin gestured for Su Yuan to sit down.

Su Yuan sat down opposite Lu Qin and asked, "Is the Duke interested?"

"Of course I'm interested! But why does Madam Gu want to sell the shop?" Lu Qin asked her curiously.

Originally, buying a few shops was not worth his time.

But since the other party was the wife of Marquis Zhennan, he became interested.

Their Lu family and Gu family have a long-standing feud. The old man Gu Fengnian died early, and the current Gu Zhiquan is not worthy of being his opponent.

However... he is still very interested in things that can make the Gu family suffer.

Moreover, the Concubine De in the palace relied on the favor of His Majesty to target his sister everywhere. His sister is the queen, how could she be suppressed by someone from the Gu family?

He didn't know what Su Yuan wanted to do, but as long as it could make the Gu family unhappy, he was interested!

"I don't have time to manage these shops, so I want to sell them and get some money back." Su Yuan said frankly.

It was too difficult for her to take back these shops, so she simply gave them up.

Anyway, she still has the Li family's seven businesses, more than 40 shops, and they are far away from Kyoto, so it doesn't matter if she sells these five.

"How much is Mrs. Gu's offer?" Lu Qin asked readily.

"Fifteen thousand taels! How about that? The Duke will be able to earn the money back in just three years." Su Yuan explained.

These five shops are all big and prosperous shops with good business, and they can earn at least 50,000 taels of silver a year.

It’s not too much for her to ask for 150,000 taels for five shops.

If she didn't want to spend time fighting for the shop, she really wouldn't be willing to sell it directly.

But now it can only benefit Lu Qin.

There is gain in loss, and she doesn't want to lose the big picture for the small.
