Zhang Shaoqi ordered the driver to rush back to the He family. Although He Xiangdi didn't understand why Zhang Shaoqi suddenly didn't go to visit Mr. Qinghe, he would not object as long as it was a decision made by Zhang Shaoqi. He would just treat it as going out for some fresh air today.

After returning to the He family, Zhang Shaoqi waved everyone away, then wrote an encrypted letter and asked his confidant to deliver it to the capital.

At this time, Han Xiao didn't know that a conspiracy was quietly approaching them, because he had no time to think about anything else.

Ever since Mr. Qinghe put on the clothes sent by Han Xiao, these dignitaries learned that the fabrics were all sold by the Ruan family's Jinshang Pavilion. This led to a huge flow of customers to Jinshang Pavilion every day. With the young master's wedding dress as an example, the young ladies and young men who were preparing to get married recently all had their eyes on Jinshang Pavilion.

Custom orders have been scheduled until next year, which has taken the Ruan family's business to a higher level. The family is so busy that Mr. Ruan has lost several pounds.

Chen family.

The head of the Chen family sat in the main seat with an expressionless face, looking at the steward below. The atmosphere in the living room was very solemn.

Manager Chen sat trembling in his seat, not daring to raise his head. Cold sweat kept dripping down his forehead, soaking the collar of his neck.

“Snap…”

With a crisp sound, the head of the Chen family threw the teacup in front of the steward Chen.

Manager Chen was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Master, calm down."

"Calm down, huh? Tell me how I should calm down!" The head of the Chen family clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, making a banging sound.

"I...I have already sent people to the Ruan family to inquire, and there will be news soon." Manager Chen said with a pale face and blue lips.

"Uncle, please calm down. I think this matter has nothing to do with Manager Chen." Han Mingxiu stood up and said when he saw that it was almost time.

When he saw Han Mingxiu, the face of the head of the Chen family looked a little better, but the look in his eyes when he looked at the manager Chen was still as if he wanted to eat him.

"Mingxiu, you don't need to plead for him. He is the one who failed to handle this matter properly." The head of the Chen family felt that he couldn't let Manager Chen off easily. If he had known the news about the Ruan family's cloth shop earlier, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

"No, uncle, you can't say that. If the Ruan family wants to conceal the news, even if Manager Chen has supernatural powers, he will be powerless."

Han Mingxiu talked freely. He knew at Han Xiao's wedding that the Ruan family must have another trump card. Since they dared to reveal their trump card at the wedding banquet, he knew that the Ruan family came prepared this time. So he was not surprised that the Chen family's business had fallen to this point. He just didn't understand why he didn't tell the head of the Chen family when Chen Chengye was there at the time?

When Manager Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, saw Han Mingxiu speaking for him, he was immediately moved to tears of gratitude and wanted to go up and hug Han Mingxiu's thighs.

However, it was not that Han Mingxiu wanted to do good deeds every day. It was just that this matter had nothing to do with Manager Chen. Even the Chen family did not notice the new fabrics put on the shelves by the Ruan family, let alone a small manager?

Today, the head of the Chen family was just angry and wanted to find someone to take the blame, and Han Mingxiu just wanted to give the head of the Chen family a way out. If he really punished Manager Chen without any reason, it would inevitably make the people below feel disheartened.

Sure enough, after hearing Han Mingxiu's words, the anger of the head of the Chen family gradually subsided, and he gestured for Han Mingxiu to sit down.

"Ming Xiu, this incident has a huge impact on our Chen family. Do you think there is any other way..." The head of the Chen family wanted to use the same trick again and send people to steal the Ruan family's secret recipe.

He also had someone buy back the Ruan family's fabrics for inspection. He originally thought that moonlight satin was a rare treasure, but he didn't expect that the new fabrics put on the shelves by the Ruan family were even more luxurious and precious than moonlight satin. Even the moonlight satin that was once very valuable has become a gift.

The head of the Chen family could not accept this at all. He had listened to Han Mingxiu's advice and stole the secret recipe of the Ruan family's moonlight satin. Later, the moonlight satin was no longer exclusive to the Ruan family, and the Chen family accumulated a lot of wealth by relying on the moonlight satin. The Ruan family only did business in Qingping Town, but the Chen family had great ambitions.

Now they were suddenly attacked by the Ruan family, and they had no strategy at all. The head of the Chen family was so worried that his hair was about to fall out these past two days. He looked at Han Mingxiu as if he saw a piece of driftwood in the water.

"Uncle, don't worry. This matter is not without room for maneuver, and the previous method is no longer effective. The Ruan family suffered a loss once, so this time they will definitely be on guard."

Han Mingxiu analyzed the matter with the head of the Chen family, and the head of the Chen family's expression became more and more ugly.

"Then what other solutions are there?"

Han Mingxiu chuckled. The fabrics that the Ruan family used this time were indeed beyond his expectations. He also didn't expect that even Mr. Qinghe was wearing Ruan family's ready-made clothes. This was undoubtedly a signal to the powerful and wealthy.

"Uncle, let's do this..." Han Mingxiu whispered in the ear of the head of the Chen family.

Although Manager Chen, who was still kneeling on the ground, was curious, he did not dare to look up.

The Chen family head suddenly burst into laughter. "Great! This is a brilliant idea. You are indeed the one, Mingxiu. You are much better than my useless son."

The more the head of the Chen family looked at Han Mingxiu, the more satisfied he became. Han Mingxiu had already passed the imperial examination at the young age of twenty, and even the next level, the Jinshi, was not out of his reach.

On the contrary, his own sons, who were about the same age, spent their days eating, drinking, gambling, and having no proper job. They were not comparable to the Han Mingxiu brothers at all. The head of the Chen family sighed and thought that maybe the Chen family was not the type to be educated.

Fortunately, she has an obedient brother who can marry Han Mingxiu. If Han Mingxiu really enters the court in the future, it will also be the good fortune of their Chen family.
