Chapter Twenty-Six: Strong
Li Liping's sharp questioning made Liu Shufen's originally firm heart begin to waver, and at the same time brought her strong fear. But she couldn't believe it was true, because if it was like that, then what? She simply couldn't save her children. can only watch his pair of children fall into a catastrophe. So she subconsciously chose to escape.
"Even if the eldest lady wants to harm us, the old lady is still there, and you are her own grandson. And she also promised her husband that she couldn't hurt us, so the old lady wouldn't agree. Yes, we don't look for the eldest lady, we go to the old lady, she won't care. Liu Shufen seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and said with a look of anticipation.
"Mother, you are sober. Although the current Li Mansion is said to be headed by the eldest lady, who doesn't know that it is the old lady who is actually in power. How could anything big or small in the Li Mansion escape her eyes. How could this conspiracy have been carried out without her acquiescence?
Don't talk about anything else, let's just say that since the younger brother is raised by the eldest wife's side, he has never asked her to say goodbye for several years, which is completely unreasonable.
When my father died, Lao Taijun promised not to hurt us, but that was on the premise that there was no conflict of interest. But when she knew that sacrificing us could bring wealth to the Li Mansion, she had already made a choice. That's tacit and implicitly supported! So you still expect the old lady to help us administer justice? What a joke! ”
In order to make Liu Shufen sober up as soon as possible, I don't expect her to help much, but at least don't drag her feet, Li Liping is completely unkind when she speaks. Because she doesn't have much time, she has to find a way to rescue Tuan Tuan as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very difficult to wait for Li Lijing to "rescue" Tuan Tuan and then try to save him.
After saying this, Li Liping didn't wait for Liu Shufen to open her mouth and continued to say in a tough tone;
"I know that my mother won't be able to accept it for a while. Now that our time is precious, I don't want to waste it on this pointless argument. To prove whether what Xiaoqing said is true, the method is very simple, that is, to find Tuan Tuan as soon as possible! Shall we judge then? So before rescuing Tuan Tuan, my mother didn't do anything, just acted as if nothing had happened, and stayed quietly in Rongyuan as usual. I know it's going to be hard for you, but I promise you, Tuan Tuan and I will be fine. So please believe in me and cooperate with me, okay? ”
Looking at her daughter's determined gaze, Liu Shufen's originally collapsed emotions were magically calmed down. Still reluctant to believe it, he nodded.
Finally appeased Liu Shufen, Li Liping breathed a sigh of relief. Now she has to think carefully about how to break this dilemma. After thinking about it, Li Liping asked Xiao Cui;
"Xiaocui, you go out of the yard a lot, do you know what the situation in the Li Mansion is now? What is the relationship between our big house and the second room? In addition, there are several gates in the Li Mansion, which are guarded by those people. Anyway, as long as the news related to our Li Mansion is related, you can tell me about it. ”
Don't blame Li Liping for asking this question, the original owner is an idiot in life, and Liu Shufen only knows that Li Fu is in the salt business and is the richest man in the past. But I don't know what the specific situation is.
Although Xiao Cui's face was already pale with fright, she knew that the young lady was thinking of a way, so although she was uneasy in her heart, she still told some of the gossip news she usually heard in detail.
"The slave maid occasionally heard the conversation between Mrs. Wang and Mama Rong, and learned that the situation in the Li Mansion was not optimistic now. The salt industry in the vast country has long been not the exclusive operation of the Li Mansion. After the death of the old lady, the imperial court took back the exclusive right to operate the Li Mansion, and instead divided the salt management right of the entire vast country into five pieces. Each county is a block, and if you get the right to operate this area, you can only operate in this area. The right to operate is changed every four years, because of the huge profits of the salt industry, in order to get a piece of the right to operate, salt merchants across the country are vying for popularity.
I heard that there used to be three pieces in the Li Mansion, but now there is only one left. And the Liu Mansion next door has won two management rights from the Li Mansion, and now the Liu family is already the largest salt merchant in the country. And the last piece of management rights in the hands of the Li Mansion is still eyed by others. Seeing that the ownership of the management right will be determined again in the near future, the Li Mansion is very worried about this. If this last piece of management rights is also lost, then the Li Mansion will be finished. ”
Hearing this, Li Liping sneered in her heart. It turns out that the Li Mansion is only a superficial scenery now. No wonder the old lady would acquiesce to Chen's conspiracy.
However, after the death of the cheap father, Li Hongda wanted to keep filial piety, and now Uncle Li Yong is in charge of the business. In the past few years, I don't know how much money has fallen into the hands of the second room. The old lady and the Chen family must be so aggrieved. On the surface, the Li Mansion is a large house, but it must also be restricted by the second room everywhere. Hehe, the water is not shallow.
Sure enough, Xiao Cui continued; "I heard that when the lord was alive in the past, the lord was still in order, after all, the lord had an official position, and the position of the head of the family was also the lord. The eldest lord didn't dare to have a little misdeeds. But since the death of the old man, no one threatens him, and slowly he becomes more and more bold, and almost all the money in the business falls into his own arms. For this reason, the old lady and the eldest lady were angry and hateful, but they were helpless.
First of all, the eldest young master has to keep filial piety and can't do business, and for so many years, the eldest master has already replaced his henchmen in various important positions in the firm, even if the old lady forcibly takes back the firm, he only accepts an empty shell, so in the past few years, Dafang can only endure silently in his heart, dare not tear his face immediately, and maintain the harmony on the surface. On the first day of every month, Aunt Zhang will lead a group of juniors in the second room to greet the old lady.
The slave maid also heard that the eldest master started gambling three years ago, and then he was out of control. Every day, in addition to gambling, he doesn't even care about business, and the old man has lost a lot of money in the past few years. also sold a lot of shops, and the wealth accumulated by the old lady in the past has long been left, and it can be said that the Li Mansion is now a strong outsider. Because of this, the standard of living in the government has also been greatly reduced, and people often complain. ”
