Ji Haoyang was a truly honest man. He treated others sincerely, so he thought others treated him with sincerity as well. Therefore, Ji Haoyang had no idea what those people fed him after getting him drunk.
In addition, his family also supports many relatives from the clan. Those people nominally help him, his grandfather and his father, but in fact they just collect a monthly salary from the Ji family under the pretext of doing things.
Because they were all relatives, those people not only earned more money and did less work, but also had more convenience and freedom to enter and leave the Ji family than ordinary managers and servants.
They could easily get in touch with the masters of the Ji family, and naturally it was easy for them to find opportunities to attack those children who were ignorant of the world.
After all, Yu Zizhen only received the task introduction provided by the system and did not know how those people had operated before, so she did not elaborate on the details.
But even so, Mrs. Liang was shocked by the big news that Yu Zizhen gave it away for free.
Over the years, the couple has been worried about the lack of successors in the Ji family. She even bought two healthy, honest and decent girls for Ji Haoyang to give birth to children after she began to doubt her own physical condition.
But the two girls who were bought were obviously so healthy. Mrs. Liang didn’t understand why they still encountered the same thing as her?
Or was it Ji Haoyang himself who brought it up? Could it be that it wasn't the women who had problems, but rather that he, as a husband, was unhealthy?
At that time, Ji Haoyang had been drugged for many years. The result of the Ji family inviting famous doctors was that it was completely confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with Ji Haoyang's body.
Since then, the Ji family has been planning to have Ji Yinghui marry into their family.
Ji Yinghui herself is also willing to stay at home and start a family. She not only inherited her mother's shrewdness and ability, but also inherited her grandfather and great-grandfather's talent for perfumery. If her gender disadvantage is not taken into account, she is actually a very suitable candidate for the head of the Ji family.
Just at this time, several families in the Ji clan came to Ji Haoyang and his son and proposed to adopt their children to Ji Haoyang and his wife.
Ji Haoyang's father, Old Master Ji, is a shrewd man. The strange attitude of his clansmen made him almost subconsciously develop some suspicions and guesses.
Emotionally speaking, Old Master Ji was unwilling to doubt his own clansmen, because those Ji clan members who could speak in front of him were actually all his cousins within the third degree of mourning.
He has always treated them well, trusted them, and taken good care of their descendants.
The fact that Old Master Keji is able to dominate the business world shows that he is not someone who lets his emotions cloud his rationality.
The moment he became suspicious of his clansmen, Old Master Ji subconsciously used the tactic of procrastination.
He did not tell his clansmen that his family had decided to keep Ji Yinghui at home, and he also planned to pass on his perfume-making skills to Ji Yinghui, a girl who was not recognized by the world.
While teaching Ji Yinghui how to make perfume, the old man began to monitor and investigate the suspicious tribesmen with extreme caution.
Although Ji Haoyang and his wife, and Ji Yinghui, who received his instructions, did not know the reason, they kept their mouths shut and no one told others about Old Master Ji's real plan.
In this way, with only her parents knowing, Ji Yinghui became the only heir to Old Master Ji's perfume making skills.
This is also why in the original book, she was able to so easily obtain the Ji family incense recipe that was originally supposed to be kept by her father, the head of the Ji family.
It’s a pity that both she and Old Master Ji were a little unlucky.
The problem with Old Master Ji was that he died too early, and God did not give him much time to find out the truth. The problem with Ji Yinghui was that her network of relationships was too narrow, and there was only one person she could turn to for help in times of crisis.
But this time it was different. This time, Yu Zizhen took the initiative to find the Ji family.
She watched with satisfaction as Mrs. Liang's expression kept changing. "How about it, Mrs. Liang, would you like to buy some information for me?"
Mrs. Liang took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "What does the young master want?"
Yu Zizhen tilted his head. "Her?" "Points."
Of course, she couldn't say this out loud. So, she chose to make up a lie for herself, "I want 30% of the shares of Jijiaxiang Shop."
To make money, this purpose is so legitimate and reasonable.
Mrs. Liang subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before she could open her mouth, Yu Zizhen casually dropped another bombshell on her.
"I know that Master Ji has great trust in you. No matter how much his clansmen try to persuade him, he will not take away your authority to manage the Ji Family Incense Shop."
"But haven't you ever considered that if they can't remove you as a stumbling block through Master Ji, they will definitely use extreme measures against you next?"
"No way? No way? You're not so naive as to think they wouldn't dare kill anyone? Then who killed Master Ji's children?"
"As the head mistress of the Ji family's inner house, you know best whether you have done anything to your own children or your concubines' children, don't you?"
"Master Ji doesn't have any other brothers. After ruling out the possibility of harem infighting and sibling disputes over inheritance, who do you think would most want Master Ji to have no descendants?"
"Or should I put it another way? If Mr. Ji has no descendants, who do you think will be the most likely person to take over the Ji family business?"
"Is it your daughter's future husband, or the adopted son of Master Ji from the clan? If I'm not mistaken, Master Ji's clansmen are already recommending candidates for an adopted son or son-in-law to Master Ji, right?"
"If anything were to happen to Mrs. Liang, who is so shrewd and capable and not easy to fool, given Mr. Ji's temperament, wouldn't he be quickly bankrupted by someone else because of his credulity towards his relatives and friends?"
"What will happen to your daughter then? Without her parents' protection, will she become a fish on the chopping block of the tribe? She will have to marry whoever they tell her to marry, and she will have to adopt whoever they tell her to adopt as her parents' son."
"That's not the worst. The worst is, if they only want the wealth she represents but not her as a person, then even if she gets married, her quality of life and safety will still not be guaranteed."
Mrs. Liang was trembling all over and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
She was not angry at Yu Zizhen's suspected bad mouth, but she was frightened by the scene Yu Zizhen described.
The nanny beside her noticed that Mrs. Liang was trembling, and subconsciously wanted to scold Yu Zizhen for speaking without restraint, but before she could open her mouth, Mrs. Liang had forced herself to calm down.
She said, "Mammy, go and guard the door."
Yu Zizhen was now dressed as a man, so she couldn't send all the servants out, so she kept the maid who was responsible for serving tea.
