Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Chapter 481: Chapter 219: Small Matters in Xufu Town! Yu Lao’s Big Melon!_3

”Does he want to directly acquire our entire family?”

”Yes.” Su Qifang answered firmly.

Seeing the doubt in the Patriarch’s eyes, she declared even more resolutely, ”I won’t deceive you, that’s exactly what he said. He wants to directly buy our family, to directly bring it under his control.”

After Su Qifang finished speaking, she wanted to see the disdain on her Patriarch’s face, to prove the pride of their family!

Indeed, she saw the scornful expression on the Patriarch’s face, a kind of tainted disdain—typical of someone who doesn’t care about the guild’s gold and silver but merely looks down upon it. A guild that deals with ordinary clothing materials, and they want to swallow our whole family? Just what gave them such confidence?

Who gave them the courage?

”Patriarch, how should we handle this?” Su Qifang couldn’t help but ask.

”No worries, they just want to acquire us, right? We’re not unreasonable people, we can talk to them.”

The woman’s face was slightly obscured: ”Prepare ourselves, we’ll go to Xufu Town tomorrow. I need to have a chat with them, to see how much confidence they really have.”

This family’s pride is coming, and Yuchi thinks: I love this even more.

...

”It’s been a long time since I returned to Xufu Town, but the weather here is really frustrating. In this weather, there’s really no way to start construction.”

The gallant Han Ming, with her long ponytail, stood outside Xufu Town. The snow outside Xufu Town had already melted a lot, and the willow trees by the big river had already shown a hint of green.

Love is like a beam of light, making you anxious with its green hue. Han Ming leisurely entered Xufu Town, heading straight to the guild, where she simply inquired about Yuchi’s whereabouts. Surprisingly finding Wei Zhe in Xufu Town, she was quite astonished.

Ah, it’s been a while since I’ve seen him, let’s pay him a visit. Is this considered a late New Year’s visit? Well, then it’s really too late... Maybe I should wish him an early New Year instead, offering my greetings ten months in advance...

Han Ming always found it strange. She didn’t know why, but she always felt that Yuchi could effortlessly bring her trouble. As a result, unless necessary, she didn’t dare to seek out Yuchi. Meanwhile, the Great Tang Prison sent a message, roughly implying that she should steady Yuchi.

And to represent the Great Tang Prison in wishing Yuchi a Happy New Year.

Though young and inexperienced in the ways of the world, Han Ming didn’t realize what the Prison Director surely knew—that trying to make money outside Xufu Town meant giving the local powers some face, instead of opposing everyone. It wasn’t necessary to act confrontationally, for a strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, otherwise, who knows what tricks Yuchi might pull.

Still, the Great Tang Prison underestimated the situation, thinking it too simple. Although Yuchi hadn’t mentioned the prison yet, he intended to partake when the opportunity arose. Sending a mere beauty to smooth things over was far too naive.

”I should be fine,” Han Ming thought as she reached the gate of the Wei Family. After the doorman went to inquire and inform, she was soon entering the Wei Mansion.

Yuchi greeted her with a smile.

This time he was much more straightforward, previously being unaware of the Great Tang Prison’s approach, he had been quite bold. But now, he didn’t want to draw their attention.

After all, since he planned to outfox others, making preparations and keeping a low profile was essential.

”Chairman Wei, hello. I represent the Great Tang Prison to wish you a Happy New Year,” Han Ming said amicably.

”I also represent the Wei Family in wishing you all a Happy New Year,” Yuchi replied with a smile.

Following were simple pleasantries, not without substance, but briefly touched upon.

Topics like the recent weather, the state of the town, the condition of the guild, and the development of the Great Tang Prison were discussed.

They only scratched the surface, refraining from delving into deeper matters.

”Currently, it’s uncertain whether the Great Tang Prison that Han Ming represents is good or bad. If it’s the traditional Great Tang Prison governed by proper officials, then there’s no problem. But if not, and it’s run by prisoners, then things get complicated.”

”Based on my extensive experience, Han Ming seems to be a fledgling, appearing somewhat fearful, as if she doesn’t completely trust or rely on the Great Tang Prison either?”

As Yuchi pondered, he asked, ”Han Ming, didn’t the Great Tang Prison plan to construct a prison outside Xufu Town? I haven’t heard any recent updates—is this due to our inadequate hospitality, causing the Great Tang Prison to abandon the plan?”

Being addressed as a beauty by Yuchi, Han Ming felt both strange and pleased. However, his wandering gaze couldn’t be blocked by her armor!

After thinking it over, Han Ming replied, ”Chairman Wei, rest assured, our decision at the Great Tang Prison is firm and won’t change. But due to the harsh winter in Xufu Town, construction has to be postponed...”
