"why?"
After asking, Yun Xiyue regretted it somewhat. A career in government was good, but it also carried risks, and it depended on personal preference. She hadn't asked for his opinion. "I'm sorry..."
Yun Xiaohan smiled and said, "It's alright. If you want me to pursue an official career to help the Yun family, then I will pursue an official career."
"I just don't know what you're thinking and want to know more."
“I made the Yun family a royal merchant. Father is getting old and probably won’t be able to do it for long, so I plan to get rid of the Shen family and take over Father’s position to manage all of the Yun family’s businesses. If we want to go further in the capital, then we need both official and business connections.”
"The reason why Father doesn't dare to develop in the capital is not because the Yun family lacks the strength, but because our Yun family has no powerful backers."
She originally thought that her father agreed to her marriage to Shen Yue so that the Yun family's business could expand into the capital, but five years have passed and her father has no such plan.
Yun Xiaohan knew her godfather's plan. "Godfather doesn't want to put you in a difficult position. Besides, you are his only daughter. He's afraid that people in the capital, including the Shen family, will covet the Yun family's wealth."
"Why did the Shen family marry you? Now you should understand. Your father saw it long ago, but at the time you liked Shen Yue..."
Yun Xiyue looked embarrassed. So that's how it is. Her father was such a smart man that he had seen through it long ago. The Shen family was after their Yun family's property, but she was young at the time and was temporarily deceived by Shen Yue's good looks.
"I don't like that man. They came to our house on their own, begging my father to repay their debt of gratitude." She didn't really like Shen Yue; she hadn't liked him much in her past life, and it was even less likely now.
Yun Xiaohan scoffed, "Indeed. A shameless family!"
"Let's not talk about him. Princess Qin gave me a lot of things, and I want to return the favor."
"I'll take care of these."
......
"Eat, eat, all you think about is eating! You want to eat meat too?"
"We're out of food!"
The grain stored in the manor was sold, and Zhou and Xu only found out today. They harbored considerable resentment towards Lin Bao'er.
Her son kept asking for meat, so she deliberately refused to give it to him.
Lin Bao'er was furious. "I don't believe the Marquis's mansion has no food left. Second Aunt, Third Aunt, you're not the one running this mansion."
"Yi'er is hungry, please move aside."
Madam Shen Zhou sneered, "No means no. If you want meat, bring the money. This meat was bought by my son."
"If you want to eat meat, you can ask the Marquis to buy it for you."
Lin Bao'er said, "When the Marquis goes to the palace, Second Aunt, we haven't separated our family yet. If you do this, don't blame me for telling Grandmother."
The old lady doted on her great-grandson the most.
No matter how powerful the Marquis's mansion is, it can't be worse off than the common people outside. They've already sent someone to buy food.
Madam Shen's expression changed slightly, and she was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder. "This meat was bought by our second branch of the family. If you have the guts, then go ahead and tell the Grand Madam."
She refused to give them any, which not only caused her son's marriage to fall through, but also made them sell grain behind their backs, without giving them a single penny of the profits.
Don't think she's easy to bully.
"Move everything back to the second room."
Lin Bao'er was almost furious, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
"Madam, we can't buy rice at any rice shop, and we can't buy meat at any butcher shop either."
"what happened?"
The servant said, "They said... they won't do business with our Marquis's residence."
Lin Bao'er sneered, "This is the Yun family's shop?"
