Chapter 804 [Mistress of the House 9]
After the elders and Seventh Uncle walked further and further away and their figures disappeared from the end of the sight, Ren's mother turned around and said to Youyou with a serious face: "Youyou, you silly girl! We have to be strategic in doing things. How can we put such things on the table so blatantly? Now it's good, they all know about this, and it will be even more difficult to act in the future. What's more, aren't you afraid that they will fight back desperately? As the saying goes, 'A lean camel is bigger than a horse'!"
Youyou didn't care. She raised her lips slightly, revealing a confident smile, and comforted her: "Don't worry, mother. I know my limits. In fact, I have already secretly collected a lot of key evidence. If they dare to openly oppose us, then these evidences will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. I didn't want to confront them at first, but they always suppress me in every way. It's really too much!"
Seeing her daughter so confident, Mother Ren felt relieved and nodded, "Well, as long as you know what's going on. But having said that, no matter what, I will stand firmly by your side and support you. In the clan, I have some prestige and say."
Hearing her mother's heartwarming words, Youyou was deeply moved. She quickly took her mother's hand and said, "Thank you for your love and trust. But my sister-in-law is pregnant now, and her body is getting heavier and more inconvenient. I hope you can take more care of her. Besides, my eldest brother has passed away, and my sister-in-law must be depressed. If you have time, mother, you might as well spend more time with her and help her relieve her worries."
"I will. After all, she is pregnant with the next generation of our Ren family!" Ren's mother said solemnly, her eyes revealing her concern and expectation for the continuation of the family.
"Mother, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Youyou responded softly, then turned around and prepared to leave.
At this time, Ren's mother hurriedly stopped Youyou and said, "Youyou, isn't it time to pay attention to your lifelong event? Didn't you say before that you wanted to find a live-in son-in-law? I have spent a lot of time and effort on this recently. I have carefully selected these people in Jiangnan and picked out several good candidates. I just don't know if they are suitable for you. Do you want to take a look first?"
Youyou stopped, turned around and looked at her mother, shook her head and said, "Mother, forget it. Aren't the people you chose all from a family with similar circumstances to ours? Since I want to find someone to marry into our family, then this person must at least meet my requirements. First of all, his parents must be dead, so that there won't be any complicated family relationships involved; secondly, he can't have a wife, and he can't have brothers or sisters. Apart from these, I won't consider anyone else."
Hearing Youyou's demanding request, Ren's mother couldn't help but frown and said with difficulty: "With your request, where can I find the right person for you?"
"Mother, you also know that most things in this world are about fate. If we really can't find a suitable candidate to inherit the family business, then so be it. After all, you can't force it! Isn't my sister-in-law pregnant now? If my sister-in-law gives birth to a boy, I will definitely train him carefully and make him the next generation head of our family. But if it's a girl, then we can only give up. Think about it, the work of being the head of our family is many and complicated, and I can't bear to let my little niece suffer! But my little nephew is different, as the saying goes, the capable ones have to do more work! Of course, if I still can't get what I want in the end, there is still my second brother. After my second brother gets married and has children, we can also choose suitable seedlings from them to train." Youyou said to her mother with a smile.
Hearing what Youyou said, Ren's mother couldn't help but shook her head and said lightly: "You, you, you are always so unruly! But since you said so, then I will look for it for you. Maybe you can really meet such a destined person. This matter is settled, I will do my best."
Youyou nodded obediently and said, "Okay, mother. I will follow your arrangements."
At this moment, on the other side, Shen Cuixi solemnly handed a beautiful painting of the Eternal Love of Wisdom to Qiao'er, and said gently: "Qiao'er, this painting is a dowry I specially prepared for you. I hope it can accompany you on your new journey of life and bless you with happiness and success in the future."
The loyal servant who had been serving Shen Cuixi for many years also sent his daughter Xiaolan and asked Xiaolan to take good care of Shen Cuixi. Xiaolan quickly and respectfully agreed and said that she would serve her master wholeheartedly.
After the weaving house issued an order, all weavers were required to hand in their looms for unified management and use. This made Youyou feel troubled, as she originally did not want to hand in these looms, after all, they were the tools that her family relied on for survival.
However, she thought that she was just a commoner with no background, and she was powerless to compete with such a huge organization as the Weaving House. Especially the terrifying Li Zhao, who was someone she could not afford to offend at the moment. So, after careful consideration, although she was reluctant, she still chose to compromise for the time being.
However, clever Youyou did not completely obey the instructions of the weaving house. She secretly kept a few looms and carefully stored them in a secret space known only to her. The rest of the looms were handed over to the weaving house in full as required.
After receiving the looms handed in by many weavers, Li Zhao carefully counted them and found that the number seemed to be less than expected. He was suspicious and suspected that someone had secretly hidden the looms. In order to find out the truth, Li Zhao specially sent his trusted men to search for places where the looms might be hidden. However, no matter how they searched everywhere, they still found nothing. In desperation, Li Zhao had to give up further investigation.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was Qiao'er's wedding day. Coincidentally, this day was also the official opening of Qingyue Workshop. The Ding family, which should have been very lively, was deserted at this moment, with only a few guests coming to congratulate. It turned out that Mrs. Ding had heard that the Ren family had offended Li Zhao because of the loom incident. If she knew this in advance, she would never agree to let her son Ding Rong marry Qiao'er.
At this time, Zhang Biao, who had a dispute with the Ren family, appeared in Suzhou again. Moreover, this time he secretly met with Ren Rufeng without anyone noticing. When Ren Rufeng saw Zhang Biao suddenly appear, he could not help but feel very surprised and terrified.
He really couldn't understand why Zhang Biao had been chasing after the Ren family and wouldn't let go. But despite being panicked, Ren Rufeng didn't lose his composure. Instead, he quietly sent someone to inform Youyou when no one was paying attention, telling her what had happened here.
Shu Fang carefully flipped through the pile of account books in the general account office, her eyes sharp and focused. Suddenly, she noticed something unusual - the price of raw silk had dropped significantly in recent days! This discovery made her heart tighten, and her intuition told her that there must be something wrong. So, Shu Fang decided without hesitation to investigate who was secretly selling this batch of raw silk.
At the same time, Ren Rufeng had a bad feeling after hearing Shu Fang's story. He knew that this matter was serious. If they could not find out the truth and take measures in time, it would bring them huge losses. After some thought, Ren Rufeng went straight to Zhang Biao, who was responsible for purchasing the raw silk, and asked him solemnly: "Where do you plan to sell the raw silk you bought?" However, in the face of Ren Rufeng's questioning, Zhang Biao pretended to be calm and continued to make up lies that the raw silk would be shipped to Guangzhou for sale.
At this moment, a group of people in official uniforms appeared in front of everyone like a god descending from the sky. It turned out that the government had already noticed the tricks in the raw silk transaction and had been secretly monitoring the actions of the relevant personnel. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Biao, who was guilty of being a thief, panicked immediately. He turned around and wanted to escape without caring about anything else.
In a flash, Youyou, who was standing by, quickly lit a fire. In an instant, the fire spread rapidly, and the scene fell into chaos. Taking advantage of the chaos, Youyou cleverly pulled Ren Rufeng, skillfully avoiding the crowd and the fire, and successfully took him away.
