On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Cheng Fengyao no longer had the heart to stroll around and went back to the front hall.

Linlang, who had been following her secretly, did not show up either. She returned to Yan Ruyu and briefly told her what had just happened.

Yan Ruyu glanced at Cheng Fengyao and saw that her face was slightly red, her brows were lowered, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Yan Ruyu's eyes were slightly cold. Is Cheng Fengyao thinking about Huo Changxu again?

What a big face.

She felt a surge of anger in her heart, but when she thought of how Madam Qiu had just taken Aunt Su away in a rage, she suppressed her anger.

Aunt Su will definitely not feel good after being beaten. She is angry, and coupled with the previous loss of money, she will definitely find something to be angry about.

Cheng Guanghan's days will not be easy either.

Cheng Guanghan is now the backbone of the Cheng family.

Yan Ruyu remained calm and advised herself to be patient. She should not move against Qiu Fengyao for the time being. What if she could wait for the ghost hand again?

Thinking of this, she slowly sipped her tea again.

Not long after drinking, Song Ping's figure flashed by the gate outside the hall, and he seemed to be looking over here.

Yan Ruyu signaled to Linlang with her eyes. Linlang nodded and walked out to meet Song Ping.

After a while, he came back and whispered in Yan Ruyu's ear.

"Master, Song Ping brought news that Hou Bulai is dead."

Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised and turned to look at her. Linlang nodded: "Song Ping said that he died of poisoning. The secret guard who was watching saw the person who poisoned him, but... he also committed suicide."

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly, this was clearly an attempt to silence someone.

No, it's a provocation.

The mysterious man naturally knew that Hou Bulai had betrayed him and that he had lost his effectiveness. Not only was he useless, but he was also killed for the sake of showing it to the palace.

Yan Ruyu gently stroked the pattern on the cup lid and thought to herself: It seems that this person is narrow-minded and vindictive. He is willing to sacrifice a killer to kill Hou Bulai in revenge.

"Let all the people from Yaofeng Village withdraw."

"Yes."

Hou Bulai is dead, so that place is useless.

As for the aftermath, Song Ping would talk to Cui Chong and let the government handle it. After all, although the people were gone, the stronghold was still there. If a group of bandits came one day and occupied the mountain, it would be a disaster again.

After two rounds of tea, someone asked to leave.

The eldest lady did not stop him. She said goodbye politely and had someone escort him out of the house.

Everyone left one after another, leaving only Madam Cao and Princess Mingzhao.

Several people looked at each other and smiled.

Mrs. Cao laughed and said, "I have to add fuel to the fire."

Princess Mingzhao sneered: "Su Shi overestimates her own capabilities and actually wants to go against the princess. How ridiculous."

Yan Ruyu took over the conversation: "It's okay to do business honestly, compete fairly, and make a living based on your ability. It's not that I don't allow others to do business. It's just that she wanted to do something crooked and dragged Cheng Guanghan into it to deliberately disgust people."

"That's right," Mrs. Cao said cheerfully, "If that's the case, don't blame others for disgusting her."

"I'm leaving too, Madam, Princess, and Princess. I'll go first."

She led her people away and asked the driver to slow down. Today, Master Qiu had an important guest, and it was she who helped arrange it.

At this time, Mr. Qiu came out of the teahouse.

The carriage stopped beside him. Mr. Qiu recognized it as the carriage from the Governor's Mansion and a smile appeared on his face.

Mrs. Cao raised her hand and the car window curtain opened a little.

"Master Qiu, this family incident... Alas, you can't blame Madam Qiu. She usually favors a concubine, and it's fine if it's harmless in the mansion, but if she runs outside and loses the face of the Qiu family, Madam Qiu can't tolerate it."

"No matter how much Master Qiu favors me, if I don't consider Madam, I have to consider the two young masters."

"Don't you think so?" Madam Cao laughed again without any smile, "Never mind, this is also your family affair. I shouldn't say too much. I just sympathize with Madam Qiu."

After she finished speaking, she gave an order and the carriage left.

Mr. Qiu stood there in a daze, a smile still on his face, but his mind was confused and bewildered.

He hadn't said a word yet, why did Mrs. Cao leave? The key point was, what did she mean by that just now? He didn't know what to say.

I had a feeling that something had happened at home and hurried home.

Before I even reached the main hall, I heard crying and shouting.

He was very familiar with this voice, it was Su's voice.

He was anxious and was about to rush in to see what was going on, but suddenly he remembered what Mrs. Cao had said. It seemed like a narration, but in fact it was a warning.

No, he had to find out what was going on first.

As Mrs. Cao expected, Mr. Qiu was extremely furious when he heard what happened in the palace.

Normally, he would not bear to see Su get beaten, even if she ran away on her knees or cried. Today, for the first time ever, he did not show up and went straight to the study without even entering the front hall.

As soon as he arrived at the study, the servant came forward and said, "Master, there is a letter from the eldest master."

He opened the letter and saw that his eldest son said that business in Shencheng was good, especially the cloth business, and it would be best to send another batch as soon as possible.

Mr. Qiu was very satisfied. He was satisfied with the business, and even more satisfied with his eldest son who was managing the business.

Thinking of Madam Cao's words again, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Go buy some supplements and send them to Shencheng later with the cloth for the eldest master."

"Yes."

Speaking of cloth, he remembered that Su told him a few days ago that he had recently bought a large batch at a low price and could make a lot of money by reselling it.

Thinking of this, I thought of sending this batch to Shanghai first.

It was also troublesome to stay at home, so he might as well go and arrange the matters concerning the cloth. Therefore, he hurried out again and went to the shop to arrange for the clerk to count the cloth, load it onto the truck and send it out.

But when I asked them here, the shopkeeper and his assistants all looked miserable. Where is the cloth? They were just some paper rolls wrapped in a few layers of cloth to deceive people.

Only then did he realize that there was no such thing as a cloth business where one could make a lot of money by reselling it. All that money was spent on buying waste paper!

If someone hadn't wanted to buy this batch of cloth and discovered during inspection that they were kept in the dark and that it might have already been sent to Shanghai, the chaos would have been even bigger.

I spent money to buy the paper, and when I sold it I lost double the deposit, plus the loss. The total amount was tens of thousands of taels!

Mr. Qiu was so angry that his head felt dizzy and his eyes were blurry: "Where did you buy the cloth?"

"My Lord, according to the Second Steward, it was bought from the Cheng family."

Master Qiu smashed the teacup and said, "Great Cheng family! Someone, lead the way to the Cheng family!"

That night, there was a bustle in front of the Cheng family's door. Master Qiu brought a group of men, shouting and cursing, and banging on the door, turning the Cheng family upside down and demanding them to pay compensation.

After being shocked and angry, Master Cheng asked someone to call Cheng Guanghan back from the store. When Master Qiu heard this, he was shocked. What? The Cheng family kid actually did business with the Su family?

Are you still using Su’s shop?

Is it the liquor shop that he gave to Su before?

Ah!

He laughed briefly and ordered his butler to go and "invite" someone in person.

Soon, apart from Cheng Guanghan who was brought in with a bruised face, all the shop assistants were brought in with bruises on their faces, and some were even limping.

Cheng Guanghan was dissatisfied and said, "What are you going to do? Who are you?"

"I am the eldest son of the Cheng family and the owner of the Qiu family shop."

Master Qiu said in a cold voice: "You are the one in charge? How come I don't know?"
