After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

Liu Yuefu looked at her angry brother and said calmly: "Brother, I want a divorce."

"What?! There are many men in Da Qi who take concubines. It's fine for you to take Kang Miaoqing as your wife." Liu Dalang advised with a frown.

"Although there are many women in this dynasty who divorce and remarry, women need to have legitimate reasons to file for divorce," Liu Dalang continued.

"I will get the evidence sooner or later." Liu Yuefu said firmly.

Liu Dalang wanted to say something but stopped.

Soon, the two met Liu's mother, and they toured together for a while, then waited for Li Jianzhang and Kang Miaoqing to return.

At this time, it was almost lunch time, so everyone went to the Liu family's flower hall together.

There were two charcoal fire pots in the small flower hall, making the room very warm.

"It's so warm in the house. I heard that a large mountain range was discovered to the west of Da Qi, and it's full of trees that can be used to make charcoal. The people will be blessed this year, and the price of charcoal will probably drop a lot." As soon as he entered the door, Liu Dalang was inspired.

"I heard that the mountain range is endless and extremely large. Now the kilns of the merchants there are all ready, and they will definitely send a lot of charcoal to the capital after burning it. I estimate that the price of charcoal will have to drop this year." Li Jianzhang said.

"Oh...? Is this really the case?" Kang Miaoqing wondered in her heart.

"In just these two days, the news has spread throughout the capital," said Li Jianzhang.

Kang Miaoqing had a dull lunch. She was thinking about how to maintain the situation and teach Liu Yuefu a profound lesson.

After lunch, Li Jianzhang and Liu Yuefu returned to the Li family.

Kang Miaoqing was not idle either. She drove straight to Tianchang Building.

In the private room of Tianchang Building, Kang Miaoqing was furious when she saw the newcomer. "You must have known about the large tract of forest resources suitable for charcoal production a long time ago, right? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Young lady, don't be anxious." Boss Wu said with a smile, squinting his eyes.

"Not in a hurry?! Will you be in a hurry only when the fire reaches your eyebrows?" Kang Miaoqing retorted.

"Young lady, are you sure this is true?" Boss Wu asked.

Kang Miaoqing's eyes narrowed. She had already had some doubts in her heart, and she came here just to see if Boss Wu was still on the same side as her and if he had any other ideas.

Now it seems that Boss Wu, who has been immersed in the business world for many years, has already made up his mind.

On the other hand, Mrs. Lu, who was far away in Liyang County, heard many rumors.

There was a large stretch of mountains in the west of Daqi, with countless forests on them. In the forests there were many elms and lindens suitable for making charcoal.

The kiln for making charcoal over there was ready. The fire in the kiln did not stop for three days and three nights, and charcoal was being made all the time.

There are too many charcoal fires in the west, and the price of charcoal fires there has been falling again and again. Many merchants are planning to transport them to the north to make a profit. Although it is hard to transport them from a long distance, it is good to make money.

Soon, there will be a steady stream of merchants in the capital bringing charcoal from the west to sell at low prices. The price of charcoal in the capital will probably drop again and again.

Mrs. Lu got a headache just by listening to this. She originally wanted to wait until it got a little colder and there was another snow in the capital, as the wealthy families might not have enough charcoal, and then she would ship out the charcoal in large quantities.

But I didn't expect to receive such news.

The rumors about the charcoal fire in the west have been spreading and getting more and more intense recently. Mrs. Lu is becoming more and more panicked.

Fortunately, there was no news of any merchants from the west coming to sell charcoal, which made Mrs. Lu feel a little relieved.

"Madam, madam, something bad has happened! Something bad has happened! Merchants from the west have come to Liyang to sell charcoal!" The steward under Madam Lu stumbled over in a hurry to report.

"What?!" The teacup in Mrs. Lu's hand was placed heavily on the table, making a "bang" sound.

"How much did the merchant sell it for?" asked Mrs. Lu.

"Basically, they are all sold at 15 cents per pound now."

"You mean more than one?"

"Yes, ma'am. There are probably three or four western merchants who came to buy charcoal." The steward bowed and replied.

"I know, you go down first."

The steward bowed and left, and just as he turned around to walk out the door, he saw a man dressed as a servant running towards him.

"You San, why are you running? You must have offended the nobles in the mansion. Why are you so rash?!" the steward shouted angrily.

"Manager Li, it's bad! It's bad! Two or three more people have come to sell charcoal, and now the price of charcoal is thirteen cents!" You San said anxiously.

"Well... you go outside and keep an eye on the market and send someone to tell me if there is any change." Manager Li said seriously.

You San nodded, said "Okay," and hurried back.

Manager Li had just left Madam Lu's room, so he had to go again.

"Madam, it's bad. Two or three more merchants from the west have come. The price of charcoal has dropped to thirteen cents." Manager Li reported truthfully.

"This...are those rumors true?" Mrs. Lu murmured in a low voice.

Mrs. Lu thought about it and said, "Send someone to Tianchang Tower to deliver a letter to my brother and see what he says."

"Madam, Liyang is close to the capital, but it's also quite far. I'm afraid the price of charcoal will fluctuate too much with this trip back and forth." Manager Li reminded.

"You are right. How about this, you take my brother over."

Just as Mrs. Lu finished speaking, someone came over, bowed, whispered something to Manager Li, and then bowed and left.

"Madam, my clerk just sent me a message that the price of the charcoal has dropped by another penny."

"So fast!" Mrs. Lu was so surprised that she stood up immediately.

"How about this, I'll go to Tianchang Tower with you." After saying that, Mrs. Lu told the nanny beside her to prepare the car.

Soon, Madam Lu and Steward Li drove to Tianchang Building.

"Brother, do you know? Several charcoal merchants from the west have come to Liyang, and the price of charcoal has been falling again and again. Before I left, it was already thirteen cents per pound." Mrs. Lu said anxiously.

"Is things good in the capital?" Mrs. Lu asked immediately.

"Sister, things are not going well here in the capital. Five or six charcoal merchants have come here today. The price of charcoal here is only eleven cents per pound now." Boss Wu said in a deep voice.

"What should we do now? We're afraid we won't be able to wait until the next snow. If the price drops, we'll lose a lot of money for stockpiling so much charcoal!" Mrs. Lu said anxiously.

"Let's wait and see. They came from afar, so there's no way they won't make money. We can still make a small profit at the current price. Let's ship it now."

"it is good."

The day after Boss Wu, Mrs. Lu and Kang Miaoqing delivered the goods, the price of charcoal dropped again, and that day it dropped to eight cents.

For many days, the three of them were in a state of panic, fearing that the manager would come to report the news.

"What?! Two cents???" Boss Wu was a little overwhelmed. This was too low. He used to charge three cents for charcoal, and now he only sold a little. He couldn't compete with those merchants in the west.

At this time, he and Kang Miaoqing looked at each other and thought of someone.

"Sister, Madam Li wanted to buy all my charcoal from me for three cents a pound. I refused. Didn't you form an alliance with her? Three cents, we will give her all for just three cents." Boss Wu said, his eyes turning.

"This is not good." Mrs. Lu felt that this was not very authentic.

"What's wrong with that? She was the one who wanted to charge us three cents per pound before." Kang Miaoqing said righteously.

"That's right, that's right." Boss Wu looked at Kang Miaoqing with a sly look and agreed.

"Will this work?" Mrs. Lu said hesitantly.
