Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

The Gong family is a super family doing business in Baiyue City. Before the court sorted out Baiyue City, the Gong family had already made a fortune and settled down here. The Fang family's history in Baiyue City is not that long, so you only need to check what the Fang family relies on to make money. As for the Gong family, no one has ever studied it.

"The Gong family is very wealthy in Baiyue City, and can be said to be rich enough to rival a country. However, before the former emperor issued an order to open water transportation, Baiyue City was just a dilapidated town. How could the Gong family make money except by relying on the water to survive? They are just a small businessman in Baiyue City, how could they have such huge funds now?" Su Leiye said.

Fang Feiting nodded in approval, "That's true. The Gong family has only been known to people in the last few decades, but by the time people knew there was such a Gong family in Baiyue City, the Gong family had already taken control of the entire economy of Baiyue City. Now, if we just touch the Gong family, I'm afraid the lives of the civilians in Baiyue City will be affected."

"Thirty-five years ago..." Li Yuyan's fingers were lightly clasped on the table, and he lowered his eyes and pondered over and over again.

The Fang family made their fortune by smuggling goods. It was really a coincidence that they transported a batch of official silver for the Japanese pirates at sea thirty-five years ago. Apparently, this batch of official silver was eventually embezzled by the Bai family. So, did the Fang family know in advance that this was the batch of official silver that could not be seen in the light and therefore embezzled it, or did they find out about it later?

What were the identities of these pirates at sea? Why was the Bai family designated to transport the official silver?

"No matter how powerful the Gong family is, they are just businessmen. How can they find out what happened to the Fang family thirty-five years ago? Even the guards in the court can't find out." Su Leiye said.

Li Yuyan smiled. "No matter how the Gong family found out, I'm afraid even the people in the capital don't know about this. Su Leiye, spread the information back to the capital and say that the Gong family is related to what happened thirty-five years ago. Do your best not to disturb the palace. Just let some people know about it."

"Yes, my lord."

"Fang Feiting, come with me to meet Fang Shengjing." Li Yuyan said.

Ever since he knew that the Fang family was related to the Japanese pirates at sea thirty-five years ago, Li Yuyan had always wanted to meet the new head of the Fang family.

In the evening, on the flower boat by the river, Fang Shengjing listened to others talking about the serious internal injuries suffered by the killer. Li Yuyan, who had kept his door closed until now, was shocked. He had not expected that the Lord Li, whom everyone wanted to see, would appear in his exquisite flower boat where he often appeared.

"As the head of the Fang family, please forgive me for our sudden meeting." Li Yuyan held a drinking cup as bright and clear as a cup and as thin as a cicada's wing in his hand, and looked at Fang Shengjing with a smile.

It seems that I didn’t hear anyone say that Li Yuyan had gone out... Fang Shengjing thought about it, and then looked at Li Yuyan’s moist face with a faint smile, and was shocked. This guy didn’t look like he was seriously injured at all!

"It is an incomparable fortune for ordinary people to be able to share a drink with Lord Li." Fang Shengjing had already thought about many reasons why Li Yuyan appeared here. He suppressed the shock in his heart, bowed, and sat down opposite Li Yuyan.

"Mr. Fang, please." Li Yuyan personally poured a glass of wine for Fang Shengjing.

"I dare not." Fang Shengjing returned the greeting and looked up at Li Yuyan. "Little Li's internal injuries haven't healed yet, but he actually has such a refined taste. I really admire him."

Li Yuyan was too lazy to beat around the bush with him, and said with a smile: "Today, I came here for Mr. Fang."

Fang Shengjing was surprised and thought he had misheard. He and Li Yuyan had a deep friendship, and they rarely met. Due to the suppression of the Gong family, his Fang family had no chance to compete for the river transportation. So no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only hold it in. He would never take the initiative to please Li Yuyan. But today...

"Master Fang, let's stop chatting. I wonder if the Fang family is interested in the grain export business this time?" Li Yuyan seemed not to notice Fang Shengjing's shock and asked to himself.

"Young Master Li, what do you mean?" Fang Shengjing asked carefully. Li Yuyan was more than ten years younger than him, but he couldn't even tell what such a man was thinking.

Li Yuyan said with a smile: "Why did the Fang family leave such attractive white meat uneaten? It's nothing more than the Gong family's suppression. With the power and funds of your two families, it is not impossible for the Fang family to compete with the Gong family. Boss Fang, why are you afraid of the Gong family?"

Why fear the Gong family? Fang Shengjing was no longer shocked. He was almost certain that a little Li knew everything.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he tried hard to think of how to reply to Li Yuyan.

"Master Li, you are joking. It's just that the Fang family is not interested in river transportation. How could they be afraid of the Gong family?" Fang Shengjing said with a laugh.

"Is that so?" Li Yuyan's eyes sparkled with a hint of something special, and his lips slightly raised. "I thought that it was because Head Fang was afraid that the Gong family would expose what happened at that time, so he tolerated the Gong family in every possible way."

Fang Shengjing was terrified and stared at Li Yuyan with his bright eyes.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fang. I came to see you today and won't tell you about that matter. But you should know what to do next." Li Yuyan said with a smile.

"You...how did you know..." Fang Shengjing was sweating profusely, and suddenly thought of Cheng Yang, "It was that bitch!"

"How I know is not important. What is important is, does the Fang family want the entire Fang family to be threatened by the Gong family like that?" Li Yuyan asked calmly, "What the court needs most is loyal and patriotic imperial merchants, not a family that does not practice what it preaches."

So, this time the voice of exporting grain is totally impossible to fall on the Gong family? Fang Shengjing was pleasantly surprised, "As long as the Fang family can be saved, I will follow Lord Xiao Li's orders."

Li Yuyan was not surprised that Fang Shengjing nodded and agreed. Apart from working with him, the Fang family had no other choice.

He looked at Fang Feiting beside him and said to Fang Shengjing, "Fang Feiting is considered half of the Fang family. You should find a way to get him back to the Fang family."

Fang Shengjing was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he finally followed the voice and came down.

When Wei Bingyan wanted to go to Mazu Temple again the next day, she was stopped by Fu Youqi.

"Why is this? Is there any danger on the top of the mountain?" Wei Bingyan asked with a frown.

I was not able to tour the entire top of the mountain the day before, but today I was still savoring the aftertaste. Anyway, since I was bored sitting around the courtyard, it might be a good idea to take a stroll around the Mazu Temple.

Fu Youqi looked at the beautiful face beside him, and his tongue was almost knotted.
