After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles.

Xie Linghe went to the silver shop to deposit several hundred taels of silver, so naturally he couldn't wear a plain cloth.

I still have more than forty taels of silver on me.

She found a broker at the street corner and paid him fifty cents to introduce her to a large caravan that would pass through Chunde County.

The fare was fifteen taels of silver, including food, accommodation and safety, so she gritted her teeth and agreed.

She specifically asked a few people about this caravan, and found out that it had a good reputation in the neighborhood. Besides her, there were four or five other guests.

lucky.

The caravan set out in the morning.

Xie Linghe got directly into the caravan carriage and set off with them.

soon.

The carriage drove out of the city.

Xie Linghe opened the window and took one last look at the Suzhou city wall. He thought to himself, "I wonder what those weaving shops would look like when they found out that a dozen of their counterparts had the same blueprint. It must be quite amusing."

"Unfortunately, I dare not stay here for long~"

People leave traces behind.

Although she was very careful, there was still a possibility that she would be discovered.

She quickly left this place of trouble. In ancient times when there was no surveillance, she arrived in Chunde County and regained her female body. No one would think of harming her.

after all.

She is just a village girl.

……

Here.

Xie Linghe followed the caravan, and the years were peaceful.

Suzhou Prefecture.

Manager Yun of Xiangyun Manor is currently studying the blueprint for an improved loom. This blueprint has become somewhat worn out because he has been looking at it all the time.

"The shopkeeper's."

A waiter announced to him, "The Yunnan shopkeeper from Yunxiuqing wants to see you in the store."

Shopkeeper Yun immediately raised his head, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.

What is he here for? !

He stood up directly, not forgetting to fold the drawing carefully, put it in his arms, and strode out.

In the lobby.

Yunnan, with his big belly, forced a fake smile: "Cousin, long time no see."

Yun Yannan said expressionlessly, "Don't call me cousin. Our family split up during our grandfather's generation. Your grandfather is only a distant relative of mine, and we're already five generations apart in terms of bloodline."

Done.

Without giving Yunnan a chance to refute, he asked bluntly, "You never come to me for no reason. What do you want from me?"

The Yun family’s ancestors were in the textile business.

Yun Yanan's grandfather's father had a younger brother who died young, so he adopted a boy in the clan.

Yun Yannan’s grandfather was an only son and also the legitimate son.

According to the system of primogeniture, Yun Yanan's grandfather was the heir to the family, and he had a good relationship with his adopted brother at that time.

People's hearts are changeable.

When he grew up, his adopted brother began to think about fighting for the family property.

In the end, they divided 40% of the family property. One of the core industries was called Xiangyunzhuang, and the other was called Yunxiuqing. They had been fighting openly and secretly for years, but neither could do anything to the other.

When it came to Yun Yannan and Yunnan's generation, they also inherited the likes and dislikes of their elders, and were tit-for-tat with each other. Today you plot against me, and tomorrow I frame you.

Closer to home.

Yunnan would normally be furious if he heard such impolite words, but today, not only did he not show any anger, he even chuckled: "In terms of status, we are still blood relatives."

Seeing Yun Yannan was about to lose his temper.

He quickly changed the subject: "You asked me what's going on? Hahaha, it really is something serious."

"Oops~"

"Just yesterday, I was lucky. A young man from the countryside came to me to sell blueprints. He said his father was seriously ill. I saw that he was not lying. The blueprints were amazing."

"The most important thing is that I only spent fifty taels of silver, hahaha~"

Done.

Yunnan laughed out loud.

After a while, he realized that Yun Yannan opposite him was not envious at all, but instead had a very ugly frown on his face.

Suddenly.

He felt uneasy: "What does that expression mean? Could it be..."

Yun Yannan had a wooden expression on his face and pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket: "Is this the blueprint?"

one sight.

Yunnan was stunned and asked in shock: "How did you get this blueprint?"

really.

Yun Yannan closed his eyes, opened them again, his face ashen, and gnashed his teeth: "We have all been deceived!"

Hear the words.

Yunnan also reacted.

"Did that sallow-faced bastard sell you this blueprint?!"

His face flushed red, and he squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "Damn it, he dared to play tricks on me, I won't let him go."

talking.

He was about to leave angrily.

"return!"

Yun Yannan called out to him.

Yunnan was puzzled, but at least his opponent wouldn't stop him for no reason, so he stopped obediently.

"what's up?"

Yun Yannan took a deep breath and asked him word by word: "Do you think he only sold our two weaving workshops, or did he sell the other weaving workshops as well?"

Yunnan was stunned.

When he realized what was happening, his face darkened. "Damn it! Now the blueprints we bought are just a piece of waste paper!!"

"That's not necessarily the case."

Yun Yannan shook his head: "It's just that I can't take all the benefits for myself."

Yunnan was silent.

indeed.

This blueprint is real, but after being sold to so many companies, it is no longer a rare commodity.

Of course you make money.

but.

He gritted his teeth: "I'm still very angry!"

The next moment, an idea struck him: "If I hadn't come here to show off, I wouldn't have known that this bastard sold the blueprints to other weaving workshops. My colleagues certainly wouldn't know either. Do you want to come with me to visit my colleagues?"

How can they be the only ones unhappy? Others should also bear it together...

Yun Yannan agreed without hesitation: "Let's go."

In this regard.

Xie Linghe knew nothing.

Wanting to buy out the improved loom blueprints with just fifty taels of silver, isn't that too unrealistic?

The current situation is not Xie Linghe's fault, but the result of their greed.

……

Yunnan and Yun Yannan first visited six other medium-sized weaving workshops and found that only two were affected.

They didn't explain much.

Went to the small weaving workshop again...

The four large weaving workshops never thought that the behemoth affiliated with the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau was not something they could afford to provoke, and it would be best if it did not even appear within their sight.

but.

Overnight, the news spread like wildfire.

therefore.

It also reached Murong Qing's ears.

Chunde County.

After hearing the news from his men, Murong Qing's face darkened: "Improved loom?!"

"Have you got the blueprint? Give it to me."

"It's no secret that every large weaving workshop in Suzhou has a blueprint. I spent some money and bought it."

"Sir, please take a look."

Murong Qing took it and took a look, his face instantly darkened.

His hands holding the blueprint tightened uncontrollably, puncturing the blueprint. Finally, he crumpled the blueprint into a ball and threw it to the ground angrily.

"damn it!"

"Prepare a car for me immediately. I want to go to Xinghua Village."

"Yes."

The servants left.

inside the house.

Murong Qing was the only one left. He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, and uttered through gritted teeth, "Xie Lingdi, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation this time, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death!"
