Chapter 238 How about developing in the southwest?
As he was speaking, there was a commotion at the entrance of the alley. A group of government officials came out from outside, escorting a man. Leading them was none other than Lord Yi Qian, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture.
Seeing Lord Qian coming, Old Madam Liu's eyes lit up. Lord Qian and Old Master Liu had a good relationship. She wondered if he had come to help them out. She was about to step forward to pay her respects and mention the grievances they had suffered here when Lord Qian glanced at her coldly. His eyes were so cold, like a winter wind, that they instantly froze the words she was about to say in her throat.
"Greetings to the Princess of Southwest, Her Royal Highness!"
"Master Qian has come here in person, what is the purpose?"
Lin Yue glanced at Liu Cheng and probably had a guess in his mind. If Liu Cheng didn't have a backup plan, he wouldn't be so calm. If his mother was framed, he would never give up the opportunity to clear her name.
Moreover, it is impossible for the person in the palace to be completely ignorant of the news.
"I was ordered to investigate a theft case and discovered that the perpetrator had been bribed to frame a concubine of the Liu family. Upon investigation, it was confirmed that the perpetrator was the Liu family's first and second wives! I came here precisely to apprehend the perpetrator!"
When Lord Qian briefly explained his purpose, the onlookers gasped in amazement! The two wives of the Liu family were terrified.
Madam Liu swayed a little, "Qian... Lord Qian, is there any misunderstanding here?"
Lord Qian said expressionlessly, "I don't know if the old lady knows about this. If she does, she's an accomplice. If she doesn't, yet she allows her daughter-in-law to frame her family, she's truly lax in her management of the household!"
"Come here, take the prisoner back!"
"Yes!"
The bailiffs responded loudly, frightening the two Madam Lius so much that they almost fainted. They were then taken to the carriage in full view of everyone!
The two ladies of the Liu family were caught by the bailiffs in the street, and their reputations were ruined!
Madam Liu's eyes went dark and she fainted! The people around her didn't dare to say a word, and she ran back home to report the news!
The farce ended just like that. After sending Lord Qian back, Liu Cheng thanked Lin Yue and Yuwen Feifei.
"Thank you, Princess and Princess, for coming to my rescue. I'll remember this forever! I'll definitely thank you in the future."
As he spoke, he seemed to be having trouble speaking. He looked at Lin Yue and said, "Sifanglou's business has not been taken back, and our cooperation with you may also be terminated. I'm afraid the jade token I gave you before will no longer be valid!"
Lin Yue smiled and said, "If it doesn't count, then it doesn't count. I'll use it when it counts! Anyway, I won't return it to you on purpose! You don't have to be discouraged. Sifanglou was your mother's dowry. Lord Qian handles cases fairly and will definitely clear your name!"
Liu Cheng said nothing, but nodded slightly. Sifang Building was his hard work. No matter how much was taken away by the Liu family, he would definitely take it back!
"As for the Liu family, do you have any plans?"
Liu Cheng looked dejected. He had seen his family members' expressions clearly. How could he go back without any hesitation? That was out of the question!
"I no longer plan to return to the Liu family. Since we've severed our ties, I'll start my own business!"
His gaze turned to Liu Ning. He still had his sister and mother to take care of.
Lin Yue pondered for a moment, knowing that he had made up his mind. It is indeed difficult to get over the betrayal of loved ones. It is a lifelong pain!
“Everything will pass!”
Liu Cheng nodded, his eyes calm and determined.
He has talent. Besides the capital, Sifanglou is spread all over the world. The Liu family's calculations will eventually fail! I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will come to ask Liu Cheng to return to the Liu family.
However, whether Liu Chengtong agrees or not is another matter. It can be seen that he is extremely disappointed with his family and may even take his family away from the capital.
Therefore, Lin Yue thought for a moment and said, "If you need anything, just come to me! We will be returning to the southwest soon. Once your affairs are settled, if you don't mind, I hope you can join us in developing our business in the southwest. Don't worry about replying to me. Talk to your family and if they agree, send me a letter and we'll set off together."
Yuwen Feifei couldn't help but happily interrupt, "Ah! That's a great idea! Your sister and I get along quite well. Why don't you come with us? We can go not only to the southwest, but also to Nanrong since you know how to do business. With me protecting you, no one will dare to bully you!"
After hearing her heroic words, Liu Cheng smiled slightly, and there was a special gratitude in his eyes when he looked at Yuwen Feifei.
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess and Princess. I will consider it!"
Lin Yue's proposal made Liu Cheng very excited. The capital was no longer suitable for the three of them, mother and son. Starting over away from here might be a good start.
When they parted, Liu Ning held onto Yuwen Feifei, reluctant to let her go. Yuwen Feifei comforted her, "Then try your best to convince your brother to take you to the southwest! I've had the food at Sifanglou, it's so delicious. It would be great if Nanrong also opened a restaurant like this! I could go there every day!"
Liu Ning nodded seriously, "I'll persuade my brother! I like the princess!"
"Hahaha... I like you too! If you really go to Nanrong, we can be good friends!"
This made Yuwen Feifei happy and delighted. After living so long, she finally had her own little fangirl! Of course, she would not let go of this opportunity and tried her best to persuade her little fangirl to go to Nanrong.
After getting on the carriage, Lin Yue saw that she was still smiling from ear to ear, and felt happy for her.
"You are becoming more and more carefree. I don't know what kind of man will marry you in the future!"
Yuwen Feifei hugged her arm and said, "I have to thank Sister Yue. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be laughed at all times! Especially Ye Yin! Don't think I don't know the nickname he gave me! Humph!"
"From now on, I won't look for an official or a general. I'll just look for a businessman. I'll follow him around, do business all over the country, and try all the delicious food in the world. If anyone dares to bully him, I'll whip them and beat them to a pulp!"
As she spoke, the little girl used her hands and feet, with a look of longing on her face.
Lin Yue smiled but said nothing. However, the last words made her heart move. Could it be that this little girl has taken a fancy to Liu Cheng? Looking at her like this, she doesn't seem to be moved, right?
Well, let’s observe further.
The little girl’s dream is good and deserves support and affirmation.
"I hope your dream will come true one day! However, will Prince Cheng be worried about you sneaking out now? I'll send someone to pass on a message later. If you find Sifang Pavilion too cramped, you can move into the palace! I've been traveling a lot lately, so how about you follow me and be my bodyguard?"
Yuwen Feifei was instantly happier and agreed immediately! She had wanted to stay at the palace for a while, but she had been holding off because she felt it was inappropriate for her to disturb them after their recent wedding. Now that Lin Yue had taken the initiative to invite her, Ye Yin couldn't refuse!
"That's great! Anyway, once you're all done, we're going back to the southwest together!"
"Let me correct you. It's true that we're going back to the southwest together, but we still have to go to Yejia Village. You're definitely one step ahead of us."
"That counts as one!"
