Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 226: Diverting the trouble to the east

"Fourth Master, then...what should I do next?" asked Zhuang Lao San.

"Just do as Young Master Bai says and treat yourself as his. You know a lot about him, and you are still of great use to him. He will not give up this chess piece of yours easily. But you have to be careful not to let him discover the relationship between you and me. Otherwise, he will definitely not let you go." Sheng Yu'an said.

"okay, I get it."

After Zhuang Lao San left, Hu Quan walked in with a serious expression.

"Fourth Master, Cui Dong doesn't want to leave."

"Did you tell him that I would find an opportunity to send his sister away as well?" Sheng Yu'an asked.

"I told him that he wanted revenge and he would leave after he got it."

Sheng Yu'an slammed the table heavily: "Nonsense! Does he want to die?"

Hu Quan sighed and said, "He said his life was long gone. He wouldn't leave until he saw the end of the Sheng family's eldest and second masters. He also said that Young Master Bai wouldn't kill him for the time being."

"Why?"

"Young Master Bai hasn't had enough fun yet and wants to use him to play tricks on the Second Master. Young Master Bai said that if Cui Dong can cooperate with him in the future, he can spare his life at his discretion. Although he is no longer detained there, I didn't dare to stay any longer for fear of arousing other people's suspicion, so I didn't say much." Hu Quan said.

Although Bai Song was ruthless, he kept his word. He probably felt that with Cui Xia around, Cui Dong couldn't escape. Furthermore, Cui Dong was also a witness to the Second Brother stealing his things. Keeping him alive would be more useful than killing him.

Sheng Yu'an lit a cigarette and started smoking.

The Cui family in Haicheng is in the silk business.

Because he disagreed with Sheng Yuqing's cooperation agreement, Cui Dong's father was brutally killed by bandits disguised as Sheng Yuquan's men while transporting goods, and the goods were taken away.

Afterwards, Sheng Yuquan's people came to the door and forced Cui Dong's mother to sign the agreement on the grounds that they had not received the goods and were collecting debts.

After that, Cui Dong's mother lived a hard life with her and her siblings, and died of illness two years later.

Cui Xia took Cui Dong to Yangcheng to seek revenge on his enemies.

In the heavy snow, the brother and sister collapsed on the road due to hunger and cold. Sheng Yu'an saved them.

Sheng Yu'an still remembers the fearless yet hateful look in the eyes of the two skinny children when they woke up.

"Fourth Master, not only Cui Dong, but Cui Xia is also reluctant to leave. You asked someone to transfer her to the kitchen and not let her participate in this matter. She is still a little unhappy!" Hu Quan said.

Sheng Yu'an sighed: "She had called Cui Dong from Lao Er under the pretext of cleaning. When she came out, she ran into Fu, the housekeeper, and was questioned by Fu. Although Fu only suspected her of stealing things, he was always on guard against her!

That's why I asked Zhuang Lao San to make that call this time. Tell her to stay in the kitchen. I promised the Cui family an explanation, and I will do it. Only by keeping their own lives can they comfort their parents' spirits in heaven.

"Yes, I will tell her."

When they returned to Baiyuan in the evening, Baisong told Baixun about writing a letter back to the old house.

"Eliminating the suspicion of the Fourth Master means eliminating the suspicion of Nanchun colluding with outsiders. If grandfather dispels his doubts, he will not do anything to Nanchun and his mother." Bai Song said.

"So the group of people I met in Xinchuanling before were Sheng Zexi's people?" Bai Xun asked.

"That's right. On the day Marshal Li laid siege to Baiyuan, I specifically sent Bai Yufeng to watch. He'd fought those men several times and knew their style. He said that while the weapons and equipment of Sheng Zexi's men differed slightly from Xin Chuanling's, they were both German, and their style of operation was almost identical. It's basically confirmed that they were his men.

"I sent people to Sichuan to investigate the Sheng family's tung oil and bristle business. A message came back saying that Sheng Zexi was in charge of this business. Sheng Zexi was so secretive, most likely because he was using tung oil and bristles to trade with foreigners for weapons," said Bo Song.

Bo Song took a sip of tea and said, "What does Sheng Zexi need so many weapons and equipment for? He wouldn't need so many just to guard the house, would he?"

Bai Song said with a smile: "Who says it's not true! The Sheng family is buying weapons on a large scale. If this matter gets out, the Sheng family will be a real fat sheep in the eyes of all factions. I have to have people continue to investigate. If we have solid evidence, we will have a handle on you."

At this point, Bo Song sighed, "Brother Xun, it seems the Sheng family is determined to take over the Underground Palace. Although we don't want to get involved, as you saw before at Xinchuan Ridge, if they send a large number of troops and bring the most advanced weapons and equipment, we will be powerless to fight back!"

Bai Xun asked, "What do you want to do, brother?"

"Your cooperation with the Fourth Master was a great move. We can use the Fourth Master to contain the Sheng family. Marshal Li is at the end of his rope and has been harassing our kiln factory frequently lately. It's too close to Ancheng, so we have to move. Yuncheng is already busy building a new kiln factory, so I may have to go there more often.

"Now that Nanchun has been cleared of suspicion, I'll have Bai Dahai slowly teach him about the business. Wang Zijin will be in charge of communicating with the foreigners. You and Nanchun will be in charge of the business in Yangcheng from now on. I've already written this to my grandfather," said Bai Song.

Bai Xun nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry."

As they were talking, Nanchun came back from walking the dog in the garden.

Bai Song smiled and said, "Nanchun, I was just talking about you with Xundi."

"What did you say about me?" Nanchun took the tea handed to her by Bai Xun and took a few sips.

"I may have to go to Yuncheng for a while recently. The new kiln factory there needs me. The business will be handed over to you and Bai Xun for the time being." Bai Song said.

Nanchun said, "Let Bai Xun take charge. I...I'll be fine as a salesman."

Bai Song said, "Don't be so modest! You've done a great job cooperating with Minghua Cosmetics Factory. If you have any ideas in the future, just go for it. Bai Dahai and the others will cooperate with you."

Nanchun hesitated and said, "I'm good at selling goods, but I can't deal with foreigners! I can't even understand what they say."

"Don't worry, Wang Zijin will take care of the business with foreigners." Bo Song said with a smile.

Nanchun looked at Baixun, only to see him nodding at him with a smile on his face. Nanchun felt more confident: "Okay then, if you don't do it well, don't blame me."

Bai Song said, "How could that be? Besides, isn't Xundi here? He can even handle the eldest and fourth masters of the Sheng family. This little business won't be a problem for him."

Nanchun was happy.

The good news is that Bosong should no longer doubt him.

This also means that he no longer doubts the Fourth Master.

The Fourth Master succeeded in diverting the blame.
