Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them

Fei Wuxuan still wanted to get more information from the maid, but the maid shook her head, indicating that she did not know the specific reason.

"Your Excellency, you'll see for yourself. If the old lady is really angered to the point of illness, then..."

The maid didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was already clear.

Fei Wuxuan dared not delay any longer and quickened his pace, heading towards Liu's Rongning Hall.

Throughout the journey, his heart was filled with doubt and worry.

"You country bumpkin, how dare you be so disrespectful to me!"

Fei Wuxuan could hear Liu's cursing from the courtyard.

"Hmph, you old hag, you're so old, you should have handed over the management of the Marquis's mansion a long time ago."

Xu Yuerao, of course, was not to be outdone and retorted with insults.

When Fei Wuxuan entered the room, he saw the two men, each being pulled by their maids and nannies, their hair and clothes disheveled, standing several feet apart, pointing at each other and cursing.

Fei Wuxuan was somewhat troubled, but he intervened in time to stop Xu Yuerao and Liu from continuing their argument.

"Mother, please calm down. What happened?"

Fei Wuxuan immediately went to Liu's side. "Mother, please calm down. What happened?"

Fei Wuxuan immediately went to Liu's side and gently patted her back, trying to calm her agitated emotions.

Liu took a few deep breaths, her expression softening slightly, before recounting the whole story.

Xu Yuerao spent a large sum of money from Liu Shi to rent three large shops in a prime location in the capital, intending to start a business selling rouge and face powder.

But just when the money was almost spent and the shop was almost finished being renovated, someone suddenly died in the shop.

The government sent people to seal up the shop and even came to the Marquis's residence to ask Xu Yuerao to come in for questioning. When Liu found out, she couldn't bear the shame, so she had her servants bribe the officials and their superiors with silver.

Out of consideration for the Marquis's residence, they did not make things difficult for Xu Yuerao, but the shop could not be unsealed immediately.

So, after all this back and forth, the Marquis's household lost a lot of money. Madam Liu was heartbroken and angry that Xu Yuerao was more trouble than she was worth, so she naturally didn't give her a good look.

Xu Yuerao, on the other hand, felt that someone was deliberately using this to target her, which made her even more convinced that the shop would definitely be a hit once it opened.

She wanted Liu to give more money to the government to get the shop unsealed, and she also said she wanted to renovate it and make it more impressive.

How could Liu agree to that?

So the two really got into a fight, and after they started hurling insults at each other, it got increasingly ugly and they even started hitting each other.

Fei Wuxuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this; thankfully, it wasn't Liang Qiuli's affair that was discovered.

"Mother, calm down. Don't let these things upset you and harm your health."

Fei Wuxuan quickly poured Liu a cup of tea and comforted her.

"And you, Yue'er, your mother is getting old, so don't always make her angry."

Fei Wuxuan turned to look at Xu Yuerao, but Xu Yuerao had no intention of backing down.

"Anyway, I did nothing wrong. I want to keep this shop open. If you don't contribute any money... then you don't need to get involved in the Princess's affairs anymore."

In fact, Xu Yuerao only knew so much about the eldest princess, but she wanted to use it as a threat to force Liu Shi and Fei Wuxuan to compromise.

"you!"

Liu was so angry at Xu Yuerao's attitude that she trembled, but Xu Yuerao had found her weakness and she couldn't do anything about it.

"How about this, Yue'er, you go back first, and Mother and I will discuss it further, okay?"

Fei Wuxuan stepped in to smooth things over. He now felt like he had married a goddess, and he didn't know how his father had found him such a wife.

Xu Yuerao flicked her sleeves, turned around and left. She didn't have the patience to linger here with Liu Shi and Fei Wuxuan.

Seeing that Xu Yuerao had finally left, Liu felt much better and turned to look at Fei Wuxuan.

Fei Wuxuan sighed.

"Mother, does our Marquis's manor still have any money?"

Fei Wuxuan was most concerned about his own interests. He was worried that the Marquis's mansion did not have the money to find him a good writer to write articles for him.

Moreover, the imperial examinations would require cultivating connections, and all of these things would cost money. Without money, it would all be just empty talk.

"The Marquis's mansion still has some money, but not much, so we can't let Xu Yuerao squander it like this anymore!"

Liu was unaware of Fei Wuxuan's practice of having others write his works for him. She always believed that he was truly talented and learned, so as long as Fei Wuxuan made connections with the Princess and successfully passed the imperial examinations, the revitalization of the Marquis's mansion would be just around the corner.

After hearing Liu's words, Fei Wuxuan hesitated whether to ask Liu for money.

In her heart, she blamed Xu Yuerao, thinking that if Xu Yuerao hadn't insisted on running that shop, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

But what if her shop really makes money?

Fei Wuxuan planned to go to Xu Yuerao's side again later to sound her out. If it really could make money, he could ask Liu Shi to give Xu Yuerao some more money from the Marquis's mansion.

However, once you make money, you must first get Xu Yuerao to pay you back the principal and interest.

Fei Wuxuan thought about it more and more and felt that the idea was feasible, so he thought about how to persuade both sides.

……

Liang Qiuli's side.

"Master, this is what happened... I heard it was a huge argument."

Liang Qiuli leaned against the bedside, listening to her trusted maid's report, and nodded gently.

It was worth all the points she spent.

Xu Yuerao wanted to open a shop and had taken money from the Marquis's mansion from Liu Shi. After Liang Qiuli found out, she kept an eye on her.

It was only then that they learned that someone had fallen and been seriously injured while Xu Yuerao was renovating the shop, but Xu Yuerao only gave him a dozen taels of silver and sent him away. Later, because he had no money to treat his injury, he died.

Liang Qiuli simply had the system tamper with the system to place the corpse in that shop and also informed the authorities in advance.

With the suspect caught red-handed, it was difficult for the authorities not to investigate.

This is what caused Xu Yuerao to suffer a major setback.

"Understood. Continue to send people to keep an eye on the Marquis's residence. Also, go and send a message to your second brother, asking him to choose an auspicious day for the shop to open."

Liang Wencheng's shop is almost finished with renovations. Since Xu Yuerao's shop has already suffered a setback and can't open for a while, they might as well open first and seize the opportunity.

The beauty and skincare formulas for rouge and face powder provided by the system are sure to be a hit once they're released.

"Yes."

Just as the maid was about to leave, Liang Qiuli suddenly called her back.

"Oh right, have someone prepare things so we can go to the peach orchard tomorrow."

Liang Qiuli received a notification from the system, indicating that Princess Richang would emerge from the Peach Blossom Forest where she had perished, presenting her with a good opportunity to make her move.

I went to the lab to do an experiment today, and I might have broken the equipment. I'm totally devastated.

My writing has been affected a bit, but I will try my best to update twice a day.
