Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 159 Selfishness

"Junior has another request." Bai Xun said.

Sheng Yu'an said, "You say."

"I wonder if you, Fourth Master, can go to Yangcheng in advance?" Bai Xun asked.

"I was planning to go back on the old man's 70th birthday. Why did I go there early?" Sheng Yu'an asked in confusion.

Bai Xun replied, "Marshal Li is a dishonest scoundrel. Now this scoundrel has soldiers under his command, and as far as I know, he recently bought a batch of weapons from foreigners.

When Boss Sun arrives to deliver the goods, he discovers his plan has failed and he still has to shell out a large sum of money for the goods. He might even resort to rogue tactics. If a fight breaks out, Boss Sun won't be able to stop him.

Sheng Yu'an thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I have no soldiers or weapons, only some servants to guard the house. If I really fight him, I can't defeat him. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with me, so it doesn't make sense for me to get involved."

Bai Xun smiled and said, "I asked Boss Sun to set the delivery location at the entrance of Fuyuanji. There are people coming and going on the street, and everyone can come to watch the excitement. Fourth Master, you are passing by in your car, so isn't it reasonable for you to take in the excitement?"

Although Marshal Li wants to cooperate with the two masters, he dare not offend you. After all, he still relies on your methods to transport supplies on a daily basis. With you in charge, he dare not act rashly.

And since we have decided to cooperate, your high-profile appearance will help our Bai family win a good battle. The eldest and second masters know that you will be in the best mood at Mr. Sheng’s birthday banquet.

Sheng Yu'an raised the corners of his lips and smiled, saying, "You! You! You are quite good at guessing people's thoughts."

Seeing his attitude soften, Bai Xun added, "Actually, I have my own selfish motives. Marshal Li has lost the battle, and the consequences will definitely be traced back to the Bai family. I have to stay in Baijiazhai for the next period of time, so I won't be able to accompany Nanchun. If you are in Yangcheng, Nanchun will have an extra layer of security."

Sheng Yu'an raised an eyebrow and said, "If nothing else, for Nanchun's safety and to see the frustrated expressions of the eldest and second brothers at the birthday banquet, I have to go to Yangcheng as soon as possible."

Bai Xun bowed and said, "Thank you, Fourth Master!"

After Bai Xun left, Sheng Yu'an hurriedly asked Lao Xing to find Zhou Jiufang, the head of the Zhou family.

Zhou Jiufang got off the carriage and hurried into the house. Seeing Sheng Yu'an's face turn pale, he bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Fourth Master! It's all my greed that ruined everything!"

Sheng Yu'an snorted coldly and said, "Your Zhou family has so many people in Yangcheng, and you didn't even notice the crisis at Fuyuanji?"

"Oh, I really didn't expect it. Although Fuyuanji can't compare with the textile factory of Mr. Sheng, its reputation is still there. Boss Sun went to the money shop and said that he had reached a cooperation with Marshal Li and borrowed money to buy raw silk. Once he delivers the goods in a few days, the money will be paid back immediately." Zhou Jiufang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I can lend you the money, but isn't the amount a little too large?" Sheng Yu'an looked at him seriously and asked.

"Alas, Fourth Master, I was too greedy! I thought the interest he offered was high and the money would not be needed for long... President Jiang and the others had already saved their money, and we had enough silver and money, so I made an exception and lent him so much! Who knew that the cooperation between Marshal Li and Fuyuanji was actually a trap..." Zhou Jiufang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Seeing Sheng Yu'an didn't say anything, he continued, "The raw silk that Boss Sun bought at a high price in the warehouse was half destroyed. He wanted to buy back the raw silk at the last minute, but he didn't expect that there was no raw silk left on the market. The delivery date is approaching... Sigh! But, Fourth Master, don't worry. If the Sun family really can't pay back the money, my Zhou family will make up for the shortfall with everything we have."

"Make up for it? Sufficient money? What if President Jiang takes his men to the bank to withdraw deposits at this time?" Sheng Yu'an said with a serious expression.

Zhou Jiufang's legs went weak and he almost fell down. Fortunately, Butler Xing was quick to help him from behind.

"Mr. Zhou, not only Boss Sun fell into the trap, you fell into the trap too! It's a chain trap! It traps the Sun family, the Zhou family, and my Sheng Yu'an's wallet." Sheng Yu'an sighed.

"Fourth Master..." Zhou Jiufang was so frightened that he almost lost all his soul.

When the Zhou family was in trouble, it was the Fourth Master who helped them with all his might. Now, because of my greed, I am holding the Fourth Master back. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?

Seeing his pale face, Sheng Yu'an sighed and said, "Who knows what the Jiang family's attitude will be now! What if they really want to help my eldest and second brothers to hit me hard?

"You must be prepared for a run on the bank by depositors. Even if we lose, we must return all the hard-earned money people have saved, including principal and interest. We can't do things that will make people stab us in the back!"

Zhou Jiufang quickly responded, "Yes, Fourth Master."

"Don't worry too much about the deficit. I will find a way. Don't alert President Jiang for the time being. Isn't there still some time? What if Fuyuanji hasn't collapsed? I will leave for Yangcheng in the next two days. You must be extremely careful in the future and beware of fraud." Sheng Yu'an said.

Zhou Jiufang responded tremblingly.

After Zhou Jiufang left, Sheng Yu'an went to a teahouse.

At the door, I met Shopkeeper Shi who was about to leave in a carriage.

"I was just coming to find you!"

"how?"

"Come into the house and talk!"

After entering the house, Shopkeeper Shi said, "The incident between Fuyuanji and Marshal Li in Yangcheng has already become public. There's something fishy about this matter. I have a feeling your eldest and second brothers are behind this."

"It was indeed their conspiracy." Sheng Yu'an said.

"You knew already?"

"Well, Master Bai Er came just now and told me about the situation in Yangcheng."

"Oh? What does he mean?"

Sheng Yu'an smiled and said, "Second Young Master Bai is very thoughtful and has made all the necessary arrangements. Since Yangcheng is making a fuss, it would be better if Jincheng and He'an were also making a fuss, so that everyone can enjoy a good show.

I'll be going to Yangcheng tomorrow. It's so lively there, I have to go and mix things up. You two will keep an eye on this side. We can start preparing for the power plant. Second Young Master Bai is confident he can get it done, and we can't hold him back."

"By the way, what about Xinchuanling?" asked Manager Shi.

"Tell Minghe that the goal has been achieved. Let's withdraw and hide first. The more contact they have, the easier it is to reveal their true identity. Old Man Nan hasn't come out yet, so let him wait. Once he comes out, tell him about Nanchun. If he wants to see Nanchun, I will arrange it for him." Sheng Yu'an said.

"Are you going to Yangcheng? I'll prepare some delicious food for you to bring to Nanchun." Manager Cheng said.

"No matter how shameless the Bai family is, they can't afford to let Nanchun go without food. You treat him like a child?" Sheng Yu'an teased.

"That's different. Nanchun likes the side dishes I make. They are my exclusive secret recipes and can't be found anywhere else." Manager Cheng said happily.
