Chapter 465 Preparing for the Family Reunion
Unfortunately, just as Du Wanchun arrived at the rouge shop to check the accounts, she saw the Fang family's maidservant bringing the Liu family's young mistress to buy anti-aging cream.
"Manager Du."
The young maids of the Fang family all recognized Du Wanchun. They came over with smiles, wanting to buy some of the most expensive anti-aging creams here.
Because Du Wanchun remembered the Fang family's kindness and was always generous to them, she took out several of the best anti-aging creams and handed them to Madam Liu.
Because of the matter concerning the eldest son of the Liu family, Mrs. Liu was visibly exhausted and looked older than other women her age.
Although she wasn't considered stunningly beautiful, she possessed the unique elegance of a well-bred young lady, no less so than Ma Tao'er.
After handing her the anti-aging cream, Du Wanchun said earnestly, "Madam, remember to use this anti-aging cream every day. If you feel uncomfortable using it, just change it."
She emphasized the words "it's fine to change it" very heavily.
At this moment, as if awakened, Madam Liu took the anti-aging cream handed to her by Du Wanchun and looked at her.
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Madam, it's thirty taels of silver in total."
Madam Liu quickly came to her senses, took out some silver and handed it to Du Wanchun, then hurriedly returned to the Fang residence.
After Du Wanchun deposited the thirty taels of silver into the account, he placed it in the counter and turned to walk into the room.
It seems that Madam Liu had long been fed up with Young Master Liu. After returning home this time, she immediately sent a divorce agreement from the Fang family to the Liu family.
The Fang family is the most powerful and wealthy merchant family in the Great Cheng Kingdom. The Liu family only got what they are today because of this marriage. Now that they are getting a divorce, they will be skinned alive.
Master Liu disagreed with the divorce, so he immediately sent his eldest son, Liu, to plead on his behalf.
Young Master Liu was already on his way, but upon hearing that Ma Tao'er was ill, he immediately rushed back.
Master Liu was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and had no choice but to personally come to the Fang family in Cheng'an County to plead for mercy.
However, Madam Liu was determined to divorce him and refused to listen to Master Liu at all.
Left with no other choice, Master Liu had to go back first.
The marriage between the Fang and Liu families is now completely over.
Young Master Liu was so infatuated with Ma Tao'er that he signed the divorce papers before Master Liu even returned, and sent them to the Fang family.
This angered Master Liu so much that he fainted at the gate of his mansion.
Old Master Liu blamed the whole thing on his past favoritism towards his concubine over his wife, and banged on his cane, yelling at him, "Serves you right! You brought this on yourself! What great things have your concubine's sons accomplished! If our Lin'er were still alive, how could he possibly be in charge of the household!"
When Liu's stepmother arrived and heard this, her face turned ashen, and her hands trembled with anger.
Old Master Liu didn't give her any face and continued to scold, "It's bad enough that he can't manage the household, but he doesn't even have a son. He has a bunch of wives and concubines, but he hasn't planted a single seed! You'd better find a doctor to check him out, maybe he's impotent!"
"If that's really the case, why don't you adopt your cousin's child and pass the family business on to him!"
The more Old Master Liu spoke, the angrier he became, and he raised his cane and struck Old Master Liu's head several times.
Mr. Liu is now starting to regret his actions. His stepmother was indeed beautiful when she was young, but she lacked education and didn't know how to raise her son, which is why he turned out the way he is now.
He suddenly looked up at his beloved stepmother, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
After Old Master Liu left, Master Liu took back all the family businesses that his eldest son had taken over, and learned that the young master was going to sell the inferior tea to the Northern Barbarians.
And the incident of fighting the Zhou family for road space over transporting tea.
He has already offended the Fang family, and he absolutely cannot afford to offend the Zhou family as well.
Therefore, once he recovered, he brought gifts to the Zhou family to apologize.
Du Wanchun was not polite at all, "Master Liu, your son sent people to attack people from my Zhou family, are you aware of that?"
Master Liu was taken aback; he was unaware of this matter.
Du Wanchun continued, "In order to intimidate our Zhou family, he sent people to beat our servant half to death. He is still lying in bed unable to move."
She deliberately exaggerated the severity of Xiao Liu's injuries.
Upon hearing this, Master Liu's face was full of remorse. He stood up and said, "Manager Du, my son has been disobedient. I have come to apologize to you on his behalf."
Du Wanchun looked up at him, her gaze sharp, and said, "You don't need to apologize to me. You should apologize to our servant properly."
Apologizing to the servant put Master Liu in a difficult position.
Du Wanchun added casually, "Although he is my servant, he is like half a brother to my husband."
Master Liu immediately understood and was shocked; he had offended Magistrate Zhou.
He quickly replied, "Yes, Manager Du, please lead the way. I will go and apologize to him in person."
