Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 591 - 237: Changsun Mei! Wei Jiunuan! (Request for subscription)_5
After Bu Huoran sent his eldest daughter back to the Celestial Craft Workshop, he needed to head to Xufu Town. By then, having a meal with Yuchi would allow him to learn about the situation of that sect!
...
In Xufu Town, Yuchi unaware of being targeted by Bu Huoran.
Today marked the tenth day since his return to Xufu Town, and he had accomplished quite a few things over the past two days.
First was the issue of Xufu Town's development. He had already gone to the Government Office, where the Office Master now felt like one of his own, ensuring that these matters were handled very properly. When asked if the first batch of people could be sent directly to Xufu Town before the end of the year, their answer was affirmative.
They assured Yuchi that Xufu Town wasn't just the merchant town; it was also the government's Xufu Town. The government wouldn't display ridiculous behavior at this time, with various issues being managed very suitably. Thus, Yuchi had no need for doubts; since others had said as much, it was best to let them calmly proceed with their tasks.
Such basic trust needed to be upheld.
Secondly, Yuchi had already chosen six styles of clothing. Yuan'Er had tried them on again, and compared to the first fitting, she was now much more proficient.
However, Yuan'Er remained an inexperienced presence, truly feeling uneasy under Yuchi's direct gaze, especially with some movements being somewhat shy.
Regarding the excellent quality of the clothes, Yuchi didn't inquire about the specific materials used, as Wei Yuan had mentioned, but he couldn't comprehend them. From an outsider's perspective, the clothes appeared very precious. Thus, he awaited an opportunity to launch the Immortal Robe Pavilion.
"Let's wait until the matter with Changsun Mei is resolved."
Yuchi walked down the street, having just returned from the merchant association. Along the way, he greeted some neighborhood folks and noticed many unfamiliar faces in Xufu Town as he headed toward the Wei Family.
...
In the Zhangsun Family, Changsun Mei had already stated her case directly, claiming that she was about to leave the Zhangsun Family. Anyway, what happens next in the Zhangsun Family had little to do with her. Whether she left or not, it made no difference as she was already exhausted.
"You can leave, but you caused this debt. You can't leave this debt unpaid, can you?"
One Zhangsun family member immediately brought up this issue. She believed Changsun Mei could leave, but shouldn't depart without repaying the debt.
"Don't worry, I'll take the thirty thousand taels of silver with me, and I've taken nothing from the Zhangsun Family." Changsun Mei was already used to such reactions.
Upon seeing others nod in satisfaction, she added:
"Similarly, after I leave the Zhangsun Family this time, do not come looking for me for anything in the future. While these words might seem harsh right now, I can see that you are merely waiting for my demise to seize the morsel of Zhangsun Family in Xufu Town."
"Is that correct, everyone?"
The Zhangsun Family was quite similar to the Wei Family.
At least, structurally, they resembled each other. The Wei Family had three brothers, analogous to the relations between Changsun Cheng, Changsun Mei, and others. If Yuchi decided to divide the family, many would surely be willing to leave with Yuchi. It was the same for the Zhangsun Family; after Changsun Cheng and others left, the remaining people were just branches of the original Zhangsun Family.
Within these branches were individuals of perceived high status, so relying solely on Changsun Mei made it impossible for them to fully support her. While they cooperated with her overtly, secretly, they hoped for her downfall sooner rather than later. Otherwise, if the Zhangsun Family were truly united, they would have produced the thirty thousand taels long ago.
It was simply that others refused to contribute, each harboring ulterior motives.
"It doesn't matter, but don't come seeking my help in the future. I won't assist based on our past family ties; I am no longer the Changsun Mei of before, and you're no longer the Zhangsun Family of old."
Having said this, Changsun Mei turned and walked away.
A few individuals remained where they stood, very composed. When Changsun Mei left, they could seize the Zhangsun Family, and once they became the Patriarch, they could bring forth their gold and silver, turning themselves from branches into the trunk.
Haha, though the Zhangsun Family might never regain its former strength, the feeling of being the Patriarch was undeniably delightful.
"What's our next step, then?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"Bring out our gold and silver!"
"And then?"
"And then… then… we continue doing business?"
"How do we conduct business… just like before? Wouldn't that lead us back to square one?"
"…No… impossible."
Everyone was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked outside, realizing Changsun Mei had vanished altogether.
Next.
"How to run a family!"
