Chapter 40: Is It Nonsense?

  "The Emperor is the ruler, and the three kings and four families are all his subjects. Even if one knows the truth, what can they do? At most, they can only be cautious and careful, increase their vigilance, but who dares to point fingers at the Emperor?"

  Mo Li said calmly, "Moreover, the emperor has always been secretly carrying out such things. All matters are handled by others, and each one is done almost flawlessly. Even if various families know they have suffered losses or been controlled, they can only endure in silence. Losing some is better than suffering disaster for the entire family after all. Openly opposing the imperial family is not that simple."

  "You're right!" Han Jiang Xue stared straight at Mo Li, exceptionally firm and unflinchingly said: "But as for me, no matter how formidable the other person's status is, I will absolutely not allow them to continue harming my family, harming the Han family! Even if it's the Emperor's orders, what can be done? I won't be so foolish as to think that when the ruler wants a minister to die, the minister must die!"

  "Mo Li, I know you also have the same determination to protect the Mo Wang Fu, and I know that with your abilities, you will definitely do a great job! However, individual strength is ultimately limited. If we can join hands with several other kings and families to resist the imperial family's persecution together, I think the Emperor won't be so unscrupulous!"

  When he heard the joint hands, Mo Li's heart was more and more approving. The momentum alone was indeed much stronger than some of the masters of the aristocratic families. Han Jiang Xue's bloodline made him admirable!

  "He frankly said: 'Not everyone has the courage to actively resist. The so-called royal and noble families have long been tainted by a hundred years of comfort and wealth, and many people would rather enjoy the temporary prosperity and peace on the surface before being forced to take the last step. However, with the temperament and means of the current emperor, this superficial peace will probably be broken soon, and when that happens, the situation will naturally force them to make a choice!'"

  Mo Li's words couldn't be clearer; joining hands to resist the imperial family is the ultimate way out, but it's still not the right time yet.

  Han Jiangxue knew before her rebirth that Mo Li had already made a name for himself at that time, showing off his skills and abilities that even the emperor had to be cautious of. Although she didn't know what the final outcome would be, she firmly believed that brave protection would ultimately lead them to victory over everything.

  Mo Li left without saying anything else, but the first collaboration between the vassal king's mansion and the noble family began quietly because of their intentions and tacit understanding.

  After accompanying her grandfather to spend his birthday, Han's siblings stayed at Tan's house for two more days. Han Jiangxue took the opportunity to sort out all the things about the industries that her grandfather had given her, and soon she was clear in mind and solid in hand.

  Han Jing, apart from going out for a trip on the second day, returned to the Tan Mansion after half a day and spent the rest of his time either helping his sister with things or accompanying his grandfather to chat and show filial piety, looking much more mature and stable between his eyebrows.

  Han Jiangxue didn't ask where his brother went, probably he went to see Lin Xiaoxiao. After all, so many things happened in these few days, as a man, he should comfort and explain to the woman.

  Lin Xiao was half a year older than her, and at this age, even if the Wu family's proposal had been ruined two days ago, it would be difficult to guarantee that there wouldn't be another family with genuine intentions to propose. Therefore, big brother's marriage shouldn't be delayed for too long, Han Jiangxue thought to herself, she still needed to think of a way to get her father to agree to this marriage as soon as possible.

  Three days later, after bidding farewell to their maternal grandfather, the two siblings returned to the Han residence together.

  Han Jing was stopped by his father's attendants at the door and told that Master is currently entertaining important guests at Tianxiang Building, if Young Master can make it back in time, he should go over immediately.

  Of course, this is a good thing. Father Han must have deliberately wanted to introduce his increasingly advanced son and lay the foundation for him to do things independently in the future. So Han Jiangxue immediately urged her big brother to go over.

  Her father was not around, and Han Jiang Xue did not plan to take out the things that Mo Li had given her immediately. For now, she still lacked an opportunity, a chance for those evidences to play their best effect.

  She didn't go to the Liu's house, just sent someone over for a while to inform them that they had returned. Now her relationship with Mrs. Liu and her daughter is clear, she lets herself be in the right in big and small matters, even her father wouldn't think there's anything wrong, temporarily being like this is already enough.

  As I passed by the garden, I saw a young man with a scowl on his face coming towards me. He looked like he couldn't wait to leave this place immediately, with a hint of disdain in his expression.

  The young man's eyebrows furrowed even deeper after seeing Han Jiangxue, clearly recognizing her identity. However, as he passed by, there was no pause, and instead, he let out a cold snort, deliberately ignoring her as he walked past.

  Han Jiangxue was perplexed again, and saw another elegant young woman chasing after the young man, anxiously calling out to her husband to slow down.

  However, the young man was apparently being driven by a sudden impulse and didn't care at all. Instead, his footsteps became even faster and he soon disappeared around the bend.

  The young woman was in a hurry and couldn't help it, but after seeing Han Jiangxue, she stopped immediately about four or five steps away, made a polite bow and called out "Sister, good".

  Han Jiangxue hadn't planned to ask more questions, but seeing that the man and woman were dressed in a way that didn't seem like servants, they seemed somewhat like relatives of the Han family, so he still stopped and asked casually what was going on.

  The young woman was dignified and calm. When Han Jiang Xue asked her, she explained clearly in a few words that she and the young man who had left earlier were husband and wife.

  As expected, the young man was a grandson of one of Han Jiangxue's paternal uncles, named Han Qizhi. His wife, née Deng, was also present.

  The couple has come to Japan today to see the hostess of the Han family, because Han Qi has an urgent need for a sum of money to turn around, but unfortunately, they can't gather the money from all sides, so they have to come to Liu Shi for help.

  The Han family has a written rule that if any of the adult descendants have the ability to start their own business and confirm that what they are doing is legal and compliant, and if they don't have enough capital on hand, they can borrow a certain amount of silver from the head of the household without interest, and repay it within a specified time limit according to the amount borrowed.

  But Mr. Liu refused the request, citing that what Han Qi had done was unreliable and the amount of money was too large. He also advised Han Qi not to indulge in fantasies every day. Han Qi didn't borrow the money, but was even scolded by Mr. Liu as a fantasy, so he was furious and left immediately.

  "Then tell me, is what your husband did really just a mess?" After figuring out the general idea, Han Jiangxue asked Deng again.

  "Miss, you don't know this, but my husband has always been very practical and orderly in his dealings. He would never do anything reckless. In the past, several shops under Father's name were on the verge of bankruptcy, but after my husband took over, he managed to turn them around within just three months. He had already made plans for expansion, but soon after, the eldest branch of the family took control and wouldn't let him continue."

  "My husband was unhappy, but he endured and didn't give up looking for something to do. Recently, after much effort, he finally found a business that could make money, although the initial investment was a bit high. If it succeeds, not only will the profit be substantial, but it can also be operated long-term, and at least we won't have to worry about making ends meet. However, we simply don't have the capital, and our monthly salary is barely enough for daily expenses, let alone having any leftover money."

  Han Jiangxue nodded slightly after listening, indicating that she still believed in Deng's words. After thinking for a moment, she asked: "How much money is needed? It shouldn't be so much that it would completely put Uncle and Aunt in a difficult position to come up with?"
