Chapter 488: Keeping the Family Business
He still didn't want to believe this fact, pushed away the maid beside him and walked towards the courtyard behind.
Song Anqian happily came out to greet someone after hearing that someone was coming.
"Didn't you tell me that I was going to be busy in the study at noon today, why didn't you miss me after a while?"
She grinned and pulled his arm, only to find that the person in front of her was a little stiff.
"What's going on?"
She noticed that something was wrong, waved her hand, and let the little girls in the house go out first.
"Is there really no problem with our cooperation with the imperial court?"
Ji Baifeng couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and his mind was full of the words Su Muli said.
He casually said such a person, but it made Song Anqian's heart feel a little defensive, and he quietly poured a cup of tea in his heart, and he dragged him to see if he knew some news or how much he knew.
"Who told you this?"
As she spoke, the cup of tea had been poured and placed in front of him.
"Don't worry who told me these things, it's true that there's been a lot of uproar outside."
Before he could inquire, he hurried to this courtyard to inquire, which was enough to show his trust in this matter.
"Actually, this is only temporary, and then we will cooperate with the imperial court and achieve a win-win situation together, and everyone will not say anything."
Song Anqian also knew that it was not good to hide this matter any longer, so she simply said it directly.
"Think about it, most of these people outside are jealous, even if they don't believe in the promise made to us by the imperial court, isn't it possible that they don't even trust me now?"
Song Anqian knew in her heart that as long as she showed that aggrieved expression, the man in front of her would agree no matter what.
This trick had just begun, and the other party hurriedly hugged her in distress.
"I naturally trust you, but the gossip outside is too ugly, since it has been said now, there is nothing to do, I will do what you say."
The reason that had just been born in his mind disappeared without a trace as soon as he heard these words.
I almost forgot what had just happened in the study.
Song Anqian showed a smug expression when he didn't see it.
Even if it was rampant before, what could it do, but now it is not firmly held by her in her hands, and she finishes it at will.
Su Muli, who was on the other side, looked very bad because he was angry.
After taking the decoction and standing on the side of the bed, I couldn't help but be angry.
"What's going on?"
Old Man Ji immediately noticed that something was wrong, and he didn't even have the mind to ask for it later, and put it on the tea table next to him.
"If my father really wants to know, he must drink this bowl of medicine."
Su Muli glanced at the bowl that had been put down, and took the initiative to pick it up again, authentically in front of the old man.
"I know, I won't secretly skip the medicine, and you little girl doesn't need to come here every time to stare at me and drink it."
The old man shook his head helplessly when he heard these words, and then began to drink the medicine again.
As soon as he finished saying this, he tilted his head, and a bowl of soup was about to be poured down.
Su Muli stood aside and intimately handed over a candied fruit, this ancient medicine was the most bitter.
"Okay, I've obediently drunk the medicine now, tell me, what's going on at home?"
The old man has been recuperating at home for the past two days, and he also vaguely smells some bad things outside.
Su Muli didn't hide it at this time, and directly told the news of the family's cooperation with the imperial court.
The mood that the old man relaxed at first turned into anger after hearing these words.
"What's wrong with this useless thing, it's ridiculous to do such a thing."
The old man casually picked up this medicine bowl and slammed it to the ground, so that he couldn't resolve the anger in his heart.
I don't know how long this hundred-year-old foundation lasted before it reached the hands of the two, if the hundred-year-old foundation was buried because of cooperation with the imperial court, even if he died, he couldn't go underground and explain to his ancestors.
"Father, don't be angry, I'll settle this matter."
Su Muli hurriedly helped the person to the bed worriedly.
"I don't know when I'll get up, I have something for you."
The old man propped up half of his body as he spoke, took a careful look at it, and saw that no one was coming outside, and then took out a token from his arms.
Su Muli had never seen such a small and delicate happy token, since the old man kept it close to him, it must be something important.
"There are some properties in our family that are not subject to royal control, etc., and I have quietly told them that they only look at the token, and they will never recognize people."
These high-ranking dignitaries are worried that one day they will decline, and then the prosperous days will be gone, and they will still live on the streets, in pain.
When the old man was young, he had more ideas, so he would accumulate so much industry, just to one day, if the situation is unstable, he will take it out and use it.
"How could I ask for something like this?"
After Su Muli now knew the importance of this object, he hurriedly returned it.
The old man was a little unhappy, so he took out this jade pendant again and stuffed it directly into her hand.
"For so many days, I have also seen that my son is unreliable, and now he has been bewitched, if you are not willing to take on this burden, this family will be over."
There was a touch of pleading in the old man's tone.
"Just as I beg you, you agree to take this responsibility for me, and when my health is better, I will carry it with you."
Su Muli looked at the old man's excited emotion, and could only hold the token in his hand tightly.
"Don't feel any kind of burden, just let it go, I actually handed over this power to you to do it today, so I naturally trust you."
The old man accentuated his tone again.
He didn't expect the turbulent day to come so quickly, and he had already expected that his fall was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
I just hope that this old bone can recover as soon as possible and go to take care of these things outside.
"I will definitely not go against my father's wish and firmly hold on to this family business."
