Chapter 162 Just a Dream

Having said that, now that the Yue family is feeling guilty and eager to sever ties with Prince Yong's Mansion and is asking for money, the Yue family will do whatever it takes to survive, even if it hurts.

In this way, with the money, we can solve the problem of the snow disaster.

But fishing by the lake can solve the problem temporarily, but not forever.

Therefore, Su Rui did not speak, but slowly made a cup of tea for Yue Heyun and said, "Then I hope Miss Yue can sit down and have a cup of tea and listen to me."

Knowing that Su Rui was still trying to fight for it, Yue Heyun felt a little embarrassed.

"If after I finish speaking, you still feel it's better to cut ties with us, I won't force you to stay." Su Rui pushed the teacup to the side with a sincere look.

Yue Heyun thought about it, and finally sat down, saying embarrassedly: "I can only stay for half an hour."

When the time comes, the Yue family will take her away.

If necessary, they will even directly break up.

Yue Heyun didn't want to make things too awkward with Su Rui.

"That's enough. I just have three words." Su Rui said without wasting any time. He took the small wooden box from Luo E's hand and handed it to Yue Heyun.

Yue Heyun took it curiously, opened it at Su Rui's signal, and immediately looked at Su Rui in surprise.

"Where did the concubine come from?"

"The Yue family has been the imperial merchants for fifteen years, and their business assets are spread throughout the Great Zhao. It's not difficult to check these things. Besides, you are the emperor's money bag, so the emperor should know everything."

It's normal for the emperor to know about it, but it's not so simple when these things fall into Su Rui's hands.

There was no way Su Rui could get it, it was given to her by Yun Ji.

Then Yun Ji naturally got it from the emperor.

Yue Heyun's expression changed drastically. This... this matched the illusion in her dream again.

Could it be that wasn't a dream?

"The Yue family has been loyal to the emperor for fifteen years and knows very well that your position cannot be easily changed, especially at this time. However, the situation is changing. If we do nothing, what awaits us, Miss Yue, you should know better than me."

Yue Heyun naturally knew it.

Even though she has devoted herself to Pei Yan these years, she is well aware of such a big thing, not to mention that her brother has been so worried that he can't sleep all night.

Now the imperial power is about to be transferred, but the Yue family is the emperor's money bag. At this moment, the emperor is still alive, and the Yue family cannot show any signs of deviation, let alone get close to the prince.

The eldest prince was so, and the second prince is even more so.

Regardless of whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince, the Lin family is behind them. Two branches of the Lin family have been engaged in business since their early years. In the past year, they have made rapid progress, intimidating each other step by step, and intending to encroach on others.

My father had long been aware of the Lin family's intentions, but there was nothing he could do.

Moreover, my father is now old, and although my two brothers have great ambitions, the current situation means that once the emperor passes away and the new emperor ascends the throne, they will be nothing but meat on the chopping board.

That was why the Pei family did not stop Pei Yan from giving her the divorce letter. In fact, they should have thought about how to expel her when they deliberately sided with the Second Prince.

That was what happened in the dream. Although Su Rui was not there and Pei Yan did not shoot her with his hidden arrow, he just changed the way he gave her the divorce letter.

She refused to let go, and her father and brother fought hard for her. Although she was not divorced in the end, she froze to death on that snowy night. Her Yue family was also sold to the Lin family by the Pei family, and eventually the family was broken up.

The dream was truly extraordinary, but afterwards, she felt hazy and confused. She seemed to see Su Rui, but she was floating in front of the gate of Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Then she saw Yun Ji wearing a yellow robe, passing through her body and taking her into the mansion.

She wondered how Yun Ji could ascend the throne as emperor.

So, she concluded that it was just an empty dream.

But now, looking at the things in the wooden box, he was shaken again.

If that wasn't a dream, would the Yue family's final outcome still be the same?

But she has already received the divorce letter, has that changed?

"I think your brother wants to withdraw from Shengjing, cut off his arm to survive, and buy a way out for the Yue family. But this is a gamble, a gamble on whether the new emperor is willing to let you go, and a gamble on whether the Lin family is financially strong and will not kill you all. However, the business world is like a battlefield, and these are not ordinary merchants. Even if you retreat, it is not as effective as the four words of cutting the grass and eradicating it. No one can have too much money."

Who doesn't understand this truth?

But the Yue family had no choice but to take a gamble.

Half a year ago, the Yue family had begun to divest their assets in Shengjing. Her father and mother returned to their hometown in the south under the pretext of retirement, and her brothers also retreated to the provincial capital outside Shengjing and only came to Beijing occasionally. At this moment, she was the only one in the capital who still had some dowry assets.

Originally, he planned to clean up his mess quickly after severing ties with Su Rui, and leave far away after a month, hoping to snatch a glimmer of hope and preserve the Yue family.

However, they all knew that there was little hope, but no one said it out loud.

"I have finished what I have to say. If Miss Yue still insists, I will bring back the original contract."

Yue Heyun hesitated.

Every word Su Rui said hit the nail on the head.

And that dream made her even more panic. If it was as in the dream, even if they retreated, they would not be let off, because the Pei family still contacted the second prince as in the dream. They knew the assets of the Yue family. If they used the Yue family as a token of their allegiance, the fate of the Yue family could be imagined.

But relying on just a dream, he gambled on all the Yue family members, nearly a hundred years of foundation, and Yue Heyun...

"If you are considering it, there is no need to rush to answer. Miss Yue can go back and discuss it with your brother. I can guarantee on behalf of the prince that if you wish, the future will remain the same as when the emperor was on the throne."

The temptation is huge.

Yun Ji is only twenty-five years old, in the prime of his life. If it is like in the dream, he looks no more than thirty years old. The Yue family can have at least ten or twenty years of stable development.

"It's just that I can't wait long, at most midnight."

Yue Heyun didn't know why Su Rui was so anxious, but she didn't ask. She just stood up and bowed, saying, "I will tell you everything the concubine said, brother. But if you remain unchanged, what I said just now will still count."

After Su Rui nodded and sent Yue Heyun away, she did not return home, but continued to sit in Fengyun Tower and watch the snow outside the window.

For the first time, Su Rui felt that time passed so slowly, even slower than when she was lying in the snow that year.

He waited until late at night, and seeing that only half an hour was left, Su Rui sighed deeply.

She stood up and was about to look for another one when Xiaoru came running in impatiently, "Concubine, someone from the Yue family sent this."

Su Rui took it and found it was an iron plate.

It was bare, with nothing on it, but Su Rui's pupils trembled with excitement.

It’s settled!
