After the two of them had discussed it, they were no longer in a hurry and instead started discussing the matter of Jiang Chao.

Master Wu said, "Master Jiang has not experienced much. He only knew that Boss Wang wanted to start his own business, but he did not take precautions against the two sons of Boss Wang's former employer. This is a lesson learned. Fortunately, Master Jiang is still young and will have plenty of opportunities in the future. This may not be a bad thing for him."

Yu Wen nodded and said, "The Jiang family is an orphan and a widow, so their life must be hard now. We have some affinity with him, so I was thinking whether we should send him some Mid-Autumn Festival gifts."

"That's a good idea! Why didn't I think of that?" After praising him, Boss Wu said with emotion, "Everyone praises Brother Yu for his kindness. I didn't take it seriously before. Now it seems that I was too blind to recognize the true value of Brother Yu!"

"Brother Wu, what are you talking about!" Yu Wen replied with a red face. After Master Wu left, he asked Ah Tiao to seal ten taels of silver, a set of four treasures of the study, and two pieces of newly produced pure purple plain silk to Master Wu, and prepared to send them together with Master Wu's holiday gift to the Jiang family in Suzhou by the chief steward of the Wu family.

Yu Tang has been a little confused ever since he heard about the changes in Jiang Chao's business.

How could Jiang Chao be deceived?

In his previous life, he was famous for being shrewd.

Is this the hardship that comes before success?

Yu Tang felt a little uneasy.

Because of her rebirth, this life has changed a lot from the previous one. For example, Wei Xiaoshan's death was caused by her. Although Jiang Chao was a successful businessman in his previous life, who can guarantee that Jiang Chao has not been affected by her rebirth in this life?

Yu Tang was very uneasy, but secretly thankful that Jiang Chao was a good person and did not quit. Otherwise, how would she explain to her father, brother and others!

It can be seen that some things cannot be based solely on past life experience.

Yu Tang sighed, but did not show it in front of his mother. He just did his best to take care of his mother. Mrs. Chen and others were even more frightened, fearing that Chen would be bedridden eight out of ten days like before. The people in the family were afraid of scaring Chen by even speaking loudly, so they all gathered around Chen to serve her. Who had time to make moon cakes?

It was not until the employee from the crab shop came to their house to deliver the crabs they had ordered that Yu Tang and Yu Wen realized that they had forgotten to send the Mid-Autumn Festival gift to the Pei Mansion.

"Look at my brain!" Yu Wen slapped his head and asked Yu Tang, "Can you make mooncakes? If not, I will quickly find someone to go to Hangzhou City to buy some new mooncakes and give them back to people."

Of course, mooncakes cannot be the only gift sent to the Pei family as a holiday gift, but mooncakes are definitely a must.

Chen was frightened a few days ago. Yu Wen was afraid that something might happen to her again, so he didn't even have time to make sure she had a rest, so how could he let her continue making mooncakes?

Yu Tang smiled bitterly and said, "How can I know these?"

Yu Wen did not hesitate and said, "I will go and ask if anyone is going to Hangzhou City in the next two days and ask them to bring back a few boxes of Wufangzhai mooncakes."

Yu Tang agreed and sent his father out.

But before their family could send the Mid-Autumn Festival gift to Pei Mansion, Pei Yan arrived first.

However, Pei Yan still did not enter the house, but parked the sedan in the alley behind their house and asked Ah Ming to find Yu Tang privately: "Our master is waiting outside, and he has a few questions for the young lady."

It happened that Yu Wen had been visiting the Wu family frequently these days and was not at home. Chen had taken medicine and rested. She thought about it, went back to the house to change clothes, and then went to see Pei Yan.

Pei Yan was sitting in the sedan chair and got out only when he saw Yu Tang coming out.

As soon as he got off the car, he looked at Yu Tang carefully.

Yu Tang wore a brand new lake green plain silk jacket. Her jet-black hair was tied into two neat buns with a string of jasmine flowers pinned on each bun. She looked plain and simple, but her fair and fair face made her outfit look neat and tidy, as fresh and natural as a tree bud that had just turned green.

He nodded in his heart, and waited for Yu Tang to come forward and bow before he asked, "Have you been at home these few days?"

Yu Tang didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

What is Pei Yan trying to do?

Why would he speak to me in such a homely way?

With such an opening statement, I don’t know what to say next?

She suddenly became a little nervous and even forgot to reply.

Pei Yan noticed that she was a little nervous, and couldn't help but be confused as to why she was nervous. He looked at Yu Tang strangely and continued, "Did you know that the Li family was going to sell the land?"

Yu Tang nodded: "I know!"

Not only did she know this, but she was also thinking about how to make things worse for the Li family!

As a result, something happened to Jiang Chao, and she had no time to care about the Li family's affairs.

When Pei Yan brought this up, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and said, "It's a pity that something happened at home, otherwise I would have made this matter known to everyone, so that their family would never be able to hold their heads up again in Lin'an City!"

It was obvious how short of money the Li family was when they had to buy their ancestral property.

Even if they don't buy it, it would be nice to force the Li family to sell the land to the Pei family.

This is to prevent the Li family from always thinking that they are superior to others and always making trouble behind the Pei family, trying to replace the Pei family.

Pei Yan stared at Yu Tang intently, as if there was a flower on her face, which made Yu Tang very uncomfortable. She couldn't help but wipe her cheeks and asked cautiously: "Third Master, is there something dirty on my face?"

"That's not the case!" Pei Yan responded, and couldn't help but look at Yu Tang again.

Not only was there nothing on her face, but her face looked like a freshly peeled egg, white with a hint of pink, which was pleasing to the eye.

Then what do you see me doing?

Yu Tang looked at Pei Yan in confusion.

Pei Yan saw it clearly, raised his eyebrows and said to Yu Tang: "Don't you want to see the Li family fall into disgrace? How come you didn't do anything when the Li family fell into disgrace this time?"

Yu Tang was very angry.

Is this the image of her in Pei Yan's mind?

Yu Tang glared at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan didn't take it seriously, thinking that Yu Tang was just trying to save face in front of him. Thinking about it, he felt that Yu Tang's energetic and lively appearance when gossiping about the Li family in front of him was quite interesting.

He couldn't help but smile and said, "Since you don't want to know, I'll leave."

Just go, as if she wouldn't be able to know what happened to the Li family unless she stuck to him!

Yu Tang sneered in his heart.

I didn't expect Pei Yan to leave as soon as he said he would.

Once the curtain is lifted, one must get into the carriage.

Yu Chang was a little dumbfounded.

Is this what he came here to tell her?

Yu Tang couldn't help but take a few steps forward and let out a "eh".

Pei Yan, who had his back to her, twitched his lips without even noticing it. He paused for a few breaths, put on a calm expression, then turned around and looked at Yu Tang in silence.

Yu Tang's mind suddenly changed.

Pei Yan dared to say this, he must be the only one who knew about the changes in the Li family. At least in Lin'an City, he was the only one who knew about it.

Yu Tang felt that she was simply foolish to bet with Pei Yan on this matter. In addition, she had already experienced Pei Yan's arrogance, so she simply did not say anything empty and said, "Third Elder, what happened to the Li family? Why would they want to sell their ancestral property?"

She was not a hypocritical person. Since she asked Pei Yan, she asked sincerely and humbled herself.

Pei Yan felt that a big part of the reason why he was willing to chat with Miss Yu was probably because Miss Yu was more knowledgeable about current affairs and never put on airs in front of him. He had no intention of teasing Yu Tang any more, and said, "After Lord Li was promoted to the position of Zuo Tongzheng of the Ministry of Public Administration, his official social engagements increased day by day. The Lin family was disliked by the Peng family because of the Yutu incident, and was trapped in the pen-buying business, so they didn't have that much money to support the Li family. You made such a fuss last year, and you took over the Li family's farm that was housing illegal households, so the Li family didn't have that much money to take to the capital. Selling other industries would not bring much money, and it would easily arouse suspicion from the Li family's clan and neighbors, so they took out 50 acres of high-quality paddy fields for growing green-stem rice and sold them quietly."

In other words, after the Li family had a falling out with the Gu family, they had another falling out with the Peng family.

Yu Tang was delighted, and his eyes were brighter than usual.

Pei Yan smiled secretly.

He knew that Miss Yu would be delighted when she heard it.

"However, the Li family will only sell these fifty acres of land at most." Pei Yan reminded Yu Tang, "When Lord Li stays in the capital for a long time, there will be loan sharks coming to the family, and their family will be able to breathe easier."

What does Pei Yan mean by saying this?

Should we let her take advantage of the opportunity?

So where should she start?

Yu Tang didn't have any calculations in mind.

Pei Yan just reminded her that what the Yu family did was none of his business.

He said, "I heard that Mr. Shen got some sea buckthorn seedlings for your family. Are they all grown?"

Yu Tang said hurriedly, "They are all planted. The tree planter we hired has good skills and is a loyal person."

Pei Yan nodded and said, "So what happened in your family?"

Since there was no problem with the tree planting, what else could have happened that could make Yu Tang not even watch the excitement in the Li family?

Yu Tang wondered whether to tell Pei Yan about this matter - if she told him, she was afraid that Pei Yan would help her, and then her family would never be able to repay the favor they owed Pei Yan; if she didn't tell him, the truth would eventually come out, and she was afraid that Pei Yan would hear about it from others and feel that he was being neglected, and would be unhappy, thinking that the Yu family was ungrateful.

These thoughts flashed through her mind, and Pei Yan's eyes flashed a little annoyance because of her hesitation.

Forget it, she should tell Pei Yan. She would rather owe him a favor than make him angry.

Pei Yan is not so easy to appease when he is angry.

Yu Tang immediately said: "It's my father..."

She told Pei Yan everything about her investment in Jiangchao's maritime business.

Pei Yan looked at Yu Tang in surprise and didn't say anything for a long time.

How come this Miss Yu is like a firecracker? If he isn't careful he won't know when she will explode.

Before, she was unwilling to invest in those wealthy families with her map, and he thought she knew that the maritime business was not easy to do, so she gave up. Who knew that things were waiting for him here!

Now that was bad. There was only a little over 20,000 silver coins in total, and before I could even warm my hands, six thousand taels were gone in an instant. No, there was also one thousand taels from Mr. Wu, making a total of seven thousand taels.

Pei Yan didn't know what to say.

Yu Tang also felt a little embarrassed.

Mainly because she had a hand in this matter.

She lowered her head in shame and said weakly, "Jiang Chao should be a good person. Our two families are evenly matched and neither of us would betray the other. It's just that I was careless this time. I think if there is a chance, Jiang Chao will definitely make a comeback."
