Liu Yuefu had just returned from winter hunting, and as she was worried about the charcoal fire, she immediately drove to the grocery store.

The winter solstice had passed, and the wind was howling outside. As soon as Liu Yuefu entered the shop, she felt warm. Her face was a little red from the cold. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Qiu Tong writing something at the counter. When she heard the sound, she looked up, and their eyes met, and they both laughed.

"Madam! Madam, you are finally back." Qiu Tong said in surprise, with an unconcealable smile in her eyes.

"I was only gone for two days, and look at you, you act like I was gone for a month." Liu Yuefu couldn't help laughing when she heard Qiu Tong's words.

Qiu Tong's face was filled with sorrow. "Madam, it's all because of Qiu Tong's uselessness. I really can't collect the charcoal fire."

"Qiutong, this is not your fault. Don't say that again. I won't forgive you if you say that again." Liu Yuefu pretended to be angry.

"Yes, ma'am." Qiu Tong's eyes were still filled with sorrow.

"Okay Qiutong, don't worry. I have an idea. Make an appointment with Mr. Wu from Tianchang Building tomorrow and tell him this..." Liu Yuefu whispered.

Qiu Tong's eyes lit up, "Madam still has a way."

"At the beginning of the Si hour, at Yueqing Teahouse, don't forget the time." Liu Yuefu added, "Also, it's getting colder these days, so prepare some winter essentials."

Liu Yuefu calculated the time and found that the snowstorm in the north was approaching. By then, many families would flee to the capital, and those who came later would not be able to enter the city. Those who came later would be poor people, and would become refugees with no food to eat.

All it takes is a heavy snowfall to easily take their lives.

Liu Yuefu looked at the shelves of the grocery store, then at the account book, and then took a carriage back to the Li family.

She looked at the falling snow outside the window and gently touched her belly.

Liu Yuefu plans to make some donations during this snowstorm.

She was not a bodhisattva, she just wanted to accumulate blessings for the child in her belly. This child might be unlucky, that's why Liu Yuefu was unable to keep him in the previous life.

After Liu Yuefu returned to the Li family and had dinner, she went to bed early.

The next day, Liu Yuefu got up early, and after washing up, she put on a light purple fox fur cloak with cattail pattern, held a gilded plum blossom pattern hand warmer, and was helped by Chuntao into the carriage.

After a bumpy ride, we arrived at Tea Street. There weren't many people in the early morning. The carriage slowly drove into Tea Street and soon stopped in front of Qingle Teahouse.

Liu Yuefu walked along the path in the bamboo forest and entered the teahouse. "Waiter, I want a private room."

"Okay, please go upstairs, madam." The waiter led Liu Yuefu into a private room on the outside of the second floor and sat down.

Liu Yuefu didn't plan to order tea herself this time. "Waiter, bring a pot of tea. Rainforest Longjing."

"Okay, ma'am, I'll be right there." The waiter stepped out.

Liu Yuefu nodded and waited patiently.

After a while, I heard some noise at the door.

Liu Yuefu looked outside the door and saw a plump middle-aged man with sparse hair and purple clothes. "Are you Madam Liu?"

"Yes, I guess you are Boss Wu."

The man nodded, walked over and sat down opposite Liu Yuefu.

He said very impolitely, "If Madam Liu wants me to show mercy because of the charcoal fire, then you don't have to say it."

"No, I want to give Boss Wu a chance. I want to buy all the charcoal in his hands."

"Oh..." Boss Wu snorted coldly, "Two hundred coins per pound."

Haha, he really dared to speak up, and he was not afraid of biting his tongue. He really asked for a lot, and sold it at least twenty times the price.

"No, three cents." Liu Yuefu looked at Boss Wu and said with a smile.

"You must have gone insane. You are really sick!" Boss Wu sneered and was about to leave.

But he met the waiter carrying tea into the private room, blocking his way.

"Boss Wu, please stay. The tea is here. Why don't you listen to me? It's not too late to make a decision after you have a sip of tea." Liu Yuefu said slowly with a smile, without any anger in her words.

"What?" Boss Wu asked impatiently.

The waiter put down the teapot, bowed and left the box.

Liu Yuefu then said, "Zhu's Bank."

Boss Wu's eyes suddenly widened, "What do you know?"

Liu Yuefu stood up and poured a cup of tea, and also poured another cup into the teacup opposite. She blew on the teacup and took a sip.

Then he replied calmly: "Everything is known. You ate away Boss Zhu's money. You said he always took care of you and taught you how to do business. But you transferred his property. What do you think he would do to you if he knew?"

Boss Wu shuddered. Boss Zhu was always cruel and ruthless, and was definitely not a kind person. He was the only one who robbed others, so it was impossible for others to rob his money. Boss Wu's betrayal was obviously something he could not tolerate.

Boss Wu had already anticipated that if Boss Zhu knew about it, he would probably end up dying "accidentally". As for whether it was really an accident, who knew.

Then, his own property and money would probably be quickly taken away by Boss Zhu with thundering means.

"Oh, by the way." Liu Yuefu took out a slightly yellowed account book from her sleeve and raised it. "This is the evidence of your transfer of money."

"This fake account is really well done." Liu Yuefu nodded in affirmation.

When Boss Wu saw the account book, the last bit of hope he had was gone and his face turned extremely cold.

He rushed forward and tore the account book into pieces, scattering them all over the floor. "Now, let's see how you can talk to Boss Zhu. You think you can fight me?"

Boss Wu smiled triumphantly and turned to leave.

"Boss Wu, you are still too impatient. Don't leave in a hurry. Talk to me."

"Talk? I have nothing to talk to you about. Now that you don't have the account book, you can only talk to Boss Zhu without any evidence. Do you think he will believe you or me?" Boss Wu said with a sneer.

"Boss Wu, I told you not to panic. I didn't say I only have one copy, did I? I copied several copies." Liu Yuefu said with a smile. In her hand, another account book of the same style appeared.

"It doesn't matter if you tear it up. You can tear up this one too. I have a few more copies at home anyway." Liu Yuefu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and watched Boss Wu's constantly changing expressions with interest.

Boss Wu then sat down resignedly. He said unhappily, "Three cents is too low. How about five cents? If it's three cents, wasn't I helping you buy things these days?"

"You should at least leave some for me."

"No, just three cents." Liu Yuefu looked at Boss Wu's face, which was now completely different. She knew that if she gave him five cents, he would doubt whether the evidence in her hand was real. This man looked like an old fox who was very flexible and suspicious in the business world.

The more determined you are, the more he will feel that you really have evidence in your hands. Even if you don't have evidence in your hands, you still have evidence.

Boss Wu looked at Liu Yuefu deeply and said, "Okay, deal."

"But I have a condition. You have to give me the account book."

"If I give it to you, you will regret it in a blink of an eye. What's more, if I give it to you, can you believe that I didn't keep a copy for myself? Boss Wu, you still have to have some trust in people." Liu Yuefu took a sip of tea and said slowly.

Boss Wu's hands were pinching the hem of his clothes under the table, tightening and loosening, loosening and tightening again.

"Okay." After saying that, Boss Wu got up and left the private room, planning to go find Kang Miaoqing.
