Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 126 Nails

Everyone was stunned, never expecting Liu Yuechu to act so magnanimously.

I took the contract with some skepticism, and it was indeed written in great detail, without any tricks in the writing, showing that the writer was sincere.

"I'll sign." The first person to agree was Dr. Sun.

Among the many officials and businessmen, he was closest to the Liu family, and besides, the terms were already very good, so he had no reason not to agree.

The head of the Xu family hesitated slightly, "It's a good thing, but are you sure there's no problem with the Liu family's horse farm?"

He knew the horse farm was run by a few spoiled young masters, which didn't sound very reliable. Especially that Pei Chun; he was involved in almost every kind of bad thing. Was there anything wrong with the horse farm he ran?

“I’m worried about this too,” the head of the Tian family said hastily, as he dared not take the risk.

The Bai family patriarch said sarcastically, "Physician Sun, don't rush to agree. These are valuable items worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. If problems arise during transportation, you'll only be asking for trouble and have nowhere to turn. You'd better think it through!"

Doctor Sun had already pressed his fingerprint and was frozen in place, regretting that these people hadn't said so sooner. It was too late for him to back out!

Liu Yuechu snatched the contract in a flash, not giving Sun Yizheng a chance to hesitate. "Those few are just nominal owners, not the real operators. If you are worried, you can go back and discuss it again. But this benefit is only for this time. The price of fur and operating supplies will not be so cheap next time."

Her eyes crinkled into crescents as she smiled, like a bright crescent moon.

Dr. Sun was at a loss for words. He couldn't back out or sabotage the deal because of the relationship between the two families, so he could only finalize the cooperation with a heavy heart.

The other households wanted to go back and discuss it further, and Liu Yuechu didn't press the matter further.

In fact, apart from medicinal herbs, the Liu family's shops can supply all other supplies to the Mongol Kingdom. They were afraid of offending people by monopolizing the business before, but now that they are the ones who are looking down on the Liu family, they can't blame her.

When Liu Yuechu returned home and explained what had happened, Liu Musheng immediately protested, "Why are you looking down on us brothers? We really want to do our jobs properly, okay?!"

"So all the bad things you did before were for nothing? This is karma coming back to haunt you."

Liu Yuechu gloated, mocking the group so much that they seemed to want to disappear into the ground. "Anyway, our family business has been delayed, and I might even offend someone because of it. Doctor Sun had to risk everything to agree to my request. If I hadn't been quick enough to snatch the contract, none of you would have been able to take over the Sun family's business!"

Liu Yuechu admitted to exaggerating, as she knew all too well that the Bai and Xu families had always disliked her.

The Bai family, in particular, are always involved in business with the Meng Kingdom, even though it has nothing to do with them. They are like troublemakers.

He wanted to play the seniority card first, so she paved the way for them with nails. Anyway, she'd offended Pei Chun and Lu Bingyang; let's see if these playboys were any good then!

Liu Yuechu teased Liu Musheng all night long with just a few words.

The next morning, Liu Muchi went to see Pei Chun and Lu Bingyang and gave them a stern lecture, "Our three horse farms have been rejected. What are you going to do about it?"

Liu Yuechu had already added fuel to the fire, and Liu Musheng, already angry, added fuel to the fire.

The grumbling and cursing sounded to Pei Chun and Lu Bingyang as if the Bai and Xu families were cursing at them.

Pei Chun was completely confused and didn't think it was a big deal. "If these two families aren't happy, they're not happy. Without their business, we won't be able to get new shoes, will we?"

Lu Bingyang nodded, "That's right, even if it's not their family, there are other families."

"Do you know how much silver a family earns?" Before coming, Liu Musheng specifically asked Yuan Cuo to calculate the amount for him.

He held up five fingers and waved them back and forth.

"A thousand taels?" Pei Chun gasped, genuinely feeling a pang of pain. But a thousand taels would only amount to a hundred taels in his hands, so he didn't care too much.

"It's not that we can't talk about it." Lu Bingyang was about to propose marriage, and his family was indeed short of money.

Liu Musheng snorted coldly, "Look at your limited perspective. What do you mean by one thousand taels? It means one thousand taels per family per month."

"?!!!"

Pei Chun's face twitched. "Isn't this like tearing flesh off my body?!"

"Whose relatives are the Bai family? How dare they openly call the three of us spoiled brats?" Lu Bingyang was furious when she heard the price. "Find out right now, I'll go ask them myself!"

“The Bai family are relatives of Consort De’s family. In addition, the monopoly on escort services in the capital is held by a son of a concubine from the Liangbo Marquis’s family. You guys running the horse farm is equivalent to stealing their business.” Ye Zinan did not participate in the horse farm, but he had been playing along.

Now that Liu Musheng, a wealthy man, is paying the bill, he's quite comfortable freeloading off the meal.

Pei Chun curled his lip. "She's just Consort De. I can't afford to offend her?"

"It's easy to talk to Consort De, but there's a bit of trouble with Marquis Liang," Lu Bingyang said timidly.

The Marquis of Liang is the maternal family of the Imperial Concubine and also the maternal family of the Third Prince, Qin Muyan.

Who knows if the copper coins in the Third Prince's hand were a tribute from the Marquis of Liang's mansion?

Upon hearing this, Pei Chun immediately perked up. "What's wrong with their family? Even if they weren't their family, I wouldn't be robbing them." He was the Crown Prince's brother-in-law, so why not seize this opportunity to claim credit?

Lu Bingyang had no intention of getting involved in this mess. "I'll take care of the Bai family. The Liangbo Marquis's mansion is up to you."

The two had a clear division of labor: one was for the money, and the other was because they were unwilling to accept defeat.

Liu Musheng treated the three to a big meal, and then went home to tell Yuan Cuo the news.

"I spoke exactly as you taught me, barely changing a few words!" Lately, he's come to him more and more because he's a really good brother-in-law. He hasn't been mocked as a fool by Pei Chun in a long time.

He's not stupid, he's just lazy.

As Yuan Cuo carefully analyzed each matter, his mind gradually began to sharpen.

Yuan Cuo expressed his gratitude and showered him with praise, making Liu Musheng very pleased with himself.

"Um...did you talk to my sister about helping me find a wife?" He had been thinking about getting married, especially after seeing Liu Yuechu and Yuan Cuo together, he couldn't suppress his inner desire.

“How could I forget my elder brother’s matter? Yue Niang wrote to Princess Chen, asking her to help her to participate in the selection of several people. Once we receive a reply, we will naturally discuss it with my elder brother.” Yuan Cuo always treated Liu Musheng with utmost respect.

Liu Musheng grinned so wide his mouth stretched to the back of his head, "I didn't realize you were so capable. Don't worry, even if my sister argues with you, I'll still stand by your side!"

The two of them were making empty promises to each other.

Liu Musheng was so drunk that he quickly went back to the courtyard to sleep.

At this moment, the head of the Bai family was drinking with the young master of the Liang family. After a few rounds of drinks, he stirred up trouble and said some unpleasant things, "The Liu family thinks they can steal your business by setting up a horse farm? They don't even know their own worth."

"Now I'm afraid that she'll use the power of the Pei and Lu families to force us to sign contracts. We'll be in a dilemma then, unable to sign or face retaliation."

"It's really too difficult to do business steadily these days."
