Chapter 463: Targeting the Gu Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“It’s said that this method of making white sugar was developed by a farming family in the Xuanhe Prefecture. Later on, they offered it to the Imperial Court. However, that farming family had always been making sugar and trading it. Therefore, the Imperial Court no longer found anyone to sell white sugar in the Xuanhe Prefecture.”
“A farmer?” Xin Zhiyuan’s voice was instantly filled with excitement.
Gu Yundong suddenly frowned. Were they talking about her family?
F*ck, she was actually targeted. Qin Wenzheng, you big idiot, you have to stop them.
Uncle Wei’s voice sounded again. “That’s right. Unfortunately, we can’t interfere with the Xuanhe Prefecture. That prefecture magistrate Dai is not an ordinary person.”
“Why can’t we? It’s not like we’re going to take root in the Xin family and do business. Let’s go to that farmer in secret and ask him to hand over the secret recipe for making sugar. We’ll give him some benefits later. Won’t everyone be happy?”
Uncle Wei said helplessly, “So what if we obtain the secret recipe to make sugar? Do you dare to make it in private and sell it? Now, the business of white sugar is controlled by the Imperial Court. If the Emperor finds out, the Xin family will not be in a good state.”
Uncle Wei sighed and reiterated, “Don’t contact those two countries. Wait for me to come back.”
“I know, I know.” Xin Zhiyuan was impatient. “Then, Uncle Wei, when are you leaving?”
“In a few days. I just returned to Wanqing Prefecture. I still have to tell your father about the situation.”
“Then you can stay in the residence for the next few days. How can this inn compare to the residence?”
“No need. It’s convenient to stay here. I’m used to it.”
That was the end of the conversation.
However, Gu Yundong’s expression was as dark as water. She had thought that the three scumbags from the Xin family had caused her father to become like this. It was enough for her to settle scores with them.
Unexpectedly, they had their eyes on her white sugar.
Trying to force them to hand over the secret recipe?
Gu Yundong sneered—In your dream! Dream!
