Sky Lin Imperial City.
Even though there were twelve city gates, the flow of people almost blocked the gates.
There were all kinds of people walking on the wide roads.
Most of them were merchants like Shu Ruyan. Of course, there were also many mercenaries and nobles. There were also many vagrants.
When Shu Ruyan's carriage arrived, they slowed down. It was only a few hundred meters, but they took almost two hours to reach the city gates.
Of course, it was not the gate in the middle.
Only the nobles of the kingdom could walk there. Ordinary people did not have the right to enter.
Although the Shu family had some reputation in the business world, they were still far from the nobles.
Uncle Wen was clearly familiar with the soldiers at the gate. When they arrived at the gate, Uncle Wen went up to the soldiers and said a few words. He then stuffed something into the soldiers' hands. Then, the carriage was smoothly allowed to enter.
The Flyer.
This was the company founded by Shu Ruyan's father. Although it was not big, it was involved in many fields.
He had his own restaurant, his own medicine shop, weapon shop, clothing shop, and so on.
The medicine store was the lifeblood of the Flyer. It was also the most profitable store.
Actually, Shu Ruyan's trip this time was to purchase medicinal herbs from the outskirts of the Black Devil Mountain Range. This way, as long as they transported the herbs back to the Imperial City, they would be able to make a huge profit.
Although Shu Ruyan was a woman, she had a good business sense.
In other fields, they might not be able to raise their heads under the pressure of their competitors. However, medicinal herbs were real. Regardless of the size of the family, they would need them. Therefore, they would only make money.
However, at this moment, there were many people standing at the entrance of the Flyer, blocking the entrance.
They did not come with good intentions!
After Uncle Wen's reminder, Shu Ruyan walked out of the carriage.
"Shu Ruyan, you still have the face to come back?!"
The moment she appeared, the people blocking the entrance of the Flyer walked over.
The one who spoke was a man in his forties. He was wearing a luxurious robe and stood at the front.
After Qin Yichen got out of the carriage, he looked at their faces, which were full of condemnation, and his face sank slightly.
He really did not think that these uncles of the Shu Family's sisters could actually be shameless to this extent!
"Shu Ruyan greets third uncle."
"Hmph!"
Shu Ruyan greeted them politely, but Shu Xin snorted and rolled her eyes at them, her face full of dislike.
"Shu Xin, what are you doing?!"
The man in the gorgeous robe was so angry at Shu Xin's attitude that he trembled. Then, when he realized that Shu Xin didn't care about him at all, the corner of his mouth twitched. Then, he glared at Shu Ruyan and shouted angrily, "Shu Ruyan, you sisters have hardened your wings. Don't you treat us as elders anymore?!"
"Ruyan doesn't dare."
Shu Ruyan couldn't bring herself to betray the clan.
It was because of her weak attitude that these so-called family members and relatives gradually took advantage of her!
In this regard, Qin Yichen could only sigh in his heart.
"No, you wouldn't dare!"
Sure enough, their third uncle's tone became even louder. His gaze swept across the carriages, and a hint of greed flashed across his eyes.
The Shu family started out as mercenaries. Only Shu Ruyan's father had a business acumen. After the business grew, Shu Ruyan's father gave the family a lot of financial support. However, he never expected that as time passed, these relatives would take his righteousness and kindness for granted!
As the saying went, 'Dou rice feeds kindness, while carrying rice feeds enmity'.
Now, these relatives of hers were no longer satisfied with her charity. Instead, they wanted to swallow her business.
Perhaps, in the hearts of Shu Ruyan's relatives, the Flyer belonged to them in the first place.
"Yo, it's quite lively."
Qin Yichen couldn't stand it anymore. He walked out and stood beside Shu Ruyan and her sister. Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were exceptionally cold.
"Is this the thief who injured your eldest cousin?"
Their third uncle only glanced at Qin Yichen. He didn't take it to heart. Soon after, he put on a righteous expression and said, "Your eldest uncle is furious, so he sent me here to mediate the conflict between the two of you."
"How about this? Send these goods to my residence first. I'll keep them for you for the time being. Then, come with me to your eldest uncle's place and let him deal with this thief. I think your eldest uncle won't be too harsh on his future daughter-in-law …"
He said it very casually, as if it was a matter of course.
"Third uncle …"
Even Shu Ruyan had a dissatisfied look on her face.
This batch of goods had cost more than half of the business's funds. If they lost it, the business would completely collapse.
However, her third uncle actually wanted to forcefully take it back with a righteous expression. Wasn't this forcing her into a dead end?!
What's more, when did she agree to marry that so-called Eldest Cousin?
How could such an outrageous thing be taken for granted?!
Shu Ruyan was so angry that her eyes turned red. She was about to cry.
If it weren't for her relatives demanding more and more money, how could a good Flyer fall to such a state in just a few years?!
"What? Shu Ruyan, do you want your third uncle to call his own people to take it away?! "
Her third uncle's expression was vicious. It was as if these goods were originally his and Shu Ruyan had become some heinous sinner.
"Don't you dare touch my goods!"
Qin Yichen took a step forward with a domineering expression. He was even more arrogant than his uncle. Then, he directly shouted at the guards behind the convoy, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take my goods in!"
The guards were stunned for a moment before they started to move.
Even they couldn't stand by and watch these goods be taken away!
Uncle Wen even cast a grateful look at Qin Yichen.
He knew very well what kind of person his eldest miss was. All these years, he had tried to persuade her, but she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
"Wait, what are you doing?!"
Her third uncle was stunned at first. When he saw the guards unload the wooden boxes and carry them into the Chamber of Commerce, he immediately shouted hysterically, "Put them down! Put them down!"
Following his obstruction, the people he brought with him also blocked the path of the guards, preventing them from carrying the boxes in.
There was another chaotic battle in front of them. However, at this moment, Qin Yichen's light voice drifted over …
"Since you insist on keeping them for the time being, you can have them. Later, I'll have the Zhou Tianwei, Young Master Zhou, personally go to your residence to get them!"
