Of the current officials in the court, which family did not have many businesses outside of the country? Even Feng Jin Yuan had some small businesses that he was running. Of course, the Feng family relied mainly on the Chen family's support back then, but the current Left Prime Minister, Lu Song, completely relied on his own business to support the Lu family's expenses. He also relied on his own business to support his own career.
From the very beginning, the Lu Family had not only set their sights on the Eighth Prince. They had three daughters, and they had set their sights on the Yao family and the Ren family. Unfortunately, in the end, they only had the Eighth Prince as their last straw of hope. Lu Song was not a foolish person. He knew that his position as left prime minister was not stable. In truth, the people in the position of left prime minister had never been stable. That was why he had to plan for the Lu Family's future while he still had power. Now that all sides were in trouble, he had to grab hold of this last straw of hope.
After Lu Song and the Ge Clan discussed it, they decided to move the Lu Family's businesses in the East, West, and North to the South. The Lu Family would make their position clear and fully support the Eighth Prince. They would place all of their bets on the Eighth Prince for the sake of the Lu clan's future prosperity. At the same time, they also used their connections with Consort Yuanshu to invite an old granny from the palace that taught etiquette for Lu Yan. They wanted to raise Lu Yan into a suitable official princess. In regards to all of this, Lu Yan was very cooperative.
The Lu Family's matter of reorganizing the businesses was done very secretively. Even Lu Yan did not know about it. The people in charge of the businesses in the East, West, and North also kept their mouths shut. They actively carried out Lu Song's orders in a low-key manner, cooperating with the Lu Family's businesses to move quickly. As for the so-called speed, it really was fast enough. A large amount of business had been transferred over within a month, and they were all transferred to the South of Da Shun. Starting from the capital, they went all the way to the southernmost Lan Zhou. They had even begun to move into the desert.
However, just when the Lu Family was at their most complacent, just when Lu Song thought that everything was developing in the perfect direction he had imagined … Suddenly, the Lu Family's business, which was originally stable, began to suffer heavy losses. Moreover, the losses started from the southernmost part of the Lu Family and spread all the way to the north. The Lu Family was caught unprepared.
The other party seemed to be deliberately targeting the Lu Family, destroying and crushing them. One shop a day, two days a town, and three days a city. Advancing from the southern border to the capital, the destruction became more and more smooth, and the speed also became faster and faster. Finally, within a month, all of the Lu Family's businesses failed miserably! All of his assets were cleared to zero! Even the people in charge of the various businesses either took the initiative to leave the Lu Family for various reasons or were arrested by the authorities for various crimes. The information network that Lu Song had built up over the years was suddenly completely destroyed. He couldn't even find out any information. As soon as his people left the capital, they would immediately lose the information link, and there was no one he could contact. Lu Song tried no less than ten times, but he couldn't get any information back.
He finally realized that something was wrong. He began to feel afraid, and began to wonder what was going on. A sentence from the Ge Clan reminded him: "Quickly ask Consort Yuanshu for help. Our Lu Family's information has been cut off, but Consort Yuanshu and the Eighth Prince's arrangements can't be cut off at the same time. Ask Consort Yuanshu to help find out."
As a result, Lu Song entered the palace, but what he saw was a furious Consort Yuanshu — — "Lu Song! You still have the nerve to look for this consort? Your Lu Family's daughter made such a big mistake and provoked someone she shouldn't have. Now that she's suffering retribution, you still have the nerve to ask this consort for help? Did you know that because of the other party's suppression, 30% of His Highness the Eighth Prince's businesses were also destroyed?! "
Lu Song couldn't even kneel anymore. He fell to the ground and stared blankly at Consort Yuanshu. After a long time, he finally asked: "Consort Yuanshu means that the people who harmed us are … the Yao Family?" Lu Song originally didn't think of this. He also didn't think that the Yao Family had such great ability, but now that Consort Yuanshu mentioned that it was their Lu Family's daughter who had made such a big mistake, even if he didn't believe it, he understood that the person she was referring to was the Yao Family. But … "The Yao Family and Princess Ji An had a falling out. Without Princess Ji An's help, could they have done so much in such a short period of time?"
Seeing the disbelief on Lu Song's face, Consort Yuanshu coldly snorted, "Not to mention whether or not the Yao Family and Princess Ji An had a falling out, even if they did, Lord Prime Minister Lu, could it be that you've always looked down on the Yao Family? When you married your daughter into the Yao Family, was it only because of their relationship with Princess Ji An? " Consort Yuanshu's face was filled with disbelief, "This One thought that the new left prime minister was smart. Who knew that you weren't much better than Feng Jin Yuan." She scolded Lu Song without holding back. In the end, she flicked her sleeve and entered her room, not wanting to say another word.
Lu Song half-knelt and half-sat on the ground. His mind continued to spin. He replayed every word that Consort Yuanshu had said in his mind, but what of it? Although he did not know whether or not this matter was done by the Yao Family, thinking back to when Lu Yao's case was closed, the Yao Family had indeed said that the Lu Family would pay the price for Lu Yao deliberately dragging Xu shi into the water. In the past, he didn't take this matter seriously, but he didn't expect that once the Yao Family, who had never spoken, became ruthless, they would take revenge so fiercely.
Lu Song did not remain in the palace for long. He quickly left and prepared to investigate further. As for Cun Shan Palace, Consort Yuanshu asked her palace maid Yue Xiu: "That portrait should have reached the South a long time ago, right?"
Yue Xiu calculated and nodded, saying: "It's been two months. It should have already reached His Highness the eighth prince's hands. Consort, please wait a little longer. After His Highness the eighth prince has seen it, he will give you a reply very quickly. "
Consort Yuanshu smiled, "This One is not in a rush. It's just that the relationship between Princess Ji An and the Yao family needs to be kept a close eye on. Do not be fooled by her."
In truth, Consort Yuanshu was not the only one keeping an eye on Feng Yu Heng. Ever since Feng Yu Heng broke off relations with Yao shi, her fiance, and the Feng Family, and the Imperial Court stripped Yao shi of her first-rank noble title, who knew how many pairs of eyes were secretly keeping an eye on her. They kept an eye on her from mid-autumn until the bitter winter. Even if they were not tired, Feng Yu Heng was worried about them. However, she was not worried at all. Every day, she would travel between the Imperial Daughter's Manor and Hundred Herb Hall. In a short two months, she and Ghost Doctor Song Kang trained the doctors who were interested in the medical profession. Then, they were sent to various Hundred Herb Hall branches in Dashun.
Of course, during this time, Yao Xian did not appear in Hundred Herb Hall again. There were even some people who had been trained by Yao Xian in Hundred Herb Hall who chose to leave and go to the Yao Xian Manor to seek refuge with Yao Xian. In response to this, Feng Yu Heng's response was to harshly scold the people who had left Hundred Herb Hall at the entrance. Then, she did not give them a single copper coin to leave. Afterwards, those people announced that Hundred Herb Hall had cheated them of a month's worth of wages. This made Feng Yu Heng look very bad.
However, it was also because of this that most of the people who had doubts about Feng Yu Heng's falling out with the Yao Family believed that this matter was true. Thus, a portion of the spies in the dark withdrew. Only a few who were too stubborn and whose employer was too powerful remained in the dark. However, they only knew that they were monitoring Feng Yu Heng. They did not know that Feng Yu Heng's hidden guards were the orioles behind the oriole and were also monitoring them.
"Do you want me to make a trip to the south and steal the eighth prince's letter on the way?" Inside the Imperial Daughter's Manor, Ban Zou stood in front of Feng Yu Heng and expressionlessly asked her, "When that woman's portrait was sent out, it should have been stopped. It should not have been allowed to reach the South." Ban Zou said to Feng Yu Heng without any trace of politeness: "If that portrait landed in the Eighth Prince's hands, it would look exactly like you. That kind of person would definitely arouse the Eighth Prince's desire to use it. The South is far from the Emperor. Once he uses Fu Ya to do something, with your name, what would you do?"
Feng Yu Heng hugged the little white tiger and listened without saying a word. She was not worried in the slightest. Her appearance made Huang Quan anxious. He could not help but say: "Young Miss, Ban Zou is right. If they use Fu Ya and use your name to do something that shouldn't be done, we will know that it's fake. The people in the capital will also know that it's fake, but the people in the South are different. How would they know if it's real or fake? They would be hoodwinked. "
Feng Yu Heng continued to smile. That expression … … "Why are you looking at us like we're idiots?" Ban Zou could not help but say: "Do you think that none of this will become reality? But in reality, Consort Yuanshu painted a portrait of Fu Ya. Before the portrait was painted, she even had her wear a very beautiful palace dress. That appearance made her look exactly like you. You had me stay in the courtyard to keep an eye on things. In the past two months, the most important piece of information I received was that Fu Ya had sought refuge with Consort Yuanshu, and Consort Yuanshu had the intention of introducing Fu Ya to the Eighth Prince. It's obvious that there is something fishy going on here. "
"So what?" Feng Yu Heng smiled as she looked at the two of them, "That's right, I should have taken this matter to heart. Just like you said, if Fu Ya was used by the Eighth Prince as me, it would have a very bad effect. But how could you forget that Xuan Tianming is currently in the South! I don't believe that with him present, Consort Yuanshu's letter would be delivered to the Eighth Prince as normal. What do you think? "
Ban Zou and Huang Quan were both stunned. Very quickly, Ban Zou raised his hand and slapped his forehead. He cursed himself in a low voice: "I'm so stupid." Soon after, he said: "It's fine." His figure flashed, and he disappeared into the darkness.
Huang Quan was left behind in an extremely awkward situation. She could only helplessly look at Wang Chuan and Feng Yu Heng laughing at her. She could not maintain her expression, but she did not dare to say anything to Feng Yu Heng. She could only glare at Wang Chuan and say: "You didn't even remind me."
Wang Chuan said with a bitter smile: "Didn't I just realize?" He then looked at Feng Yu Heng, "It's young miss' mind that moves quickly. I just don't know what arrangements His Ninth Highness has made. Did he steal the portrait or use it for some other purpose?"
Feng Yu Heng stroked Little White as she said to them: "Don't worry, he will definitely make the best arrangements. You should pay more attention over the next few days. He will most likely send a letter over."
Just as they were talking, Qing Yu returned from outside. Beside her was a person who was dressed like a palace maid …
