"Yes, that's right, you're here."
Hearing this, Yun Zhourong was indeed less afraid.
Indeed, if the emperor really comes to bother them again, their family will live in seclusion in the mountains. As long as they can survive, it doesn't matter where they live.
"Let's go, we shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's say goodbye to Song Shuyi and then return to Qiongzhou."
After Ji Minxiu finished speaking, he took Yun Zhourong to an inn.
First, they changed her appearance, making her look like a middle-aged woman, before she went to the Song family.
"Are you really going to terminate the contract?"
I thought it would take some persuasion to get into the Song family in this state, but to my surprise, there was no one guarding the door, and it was quite noisy inside.
The two exchanged a glance and then quickly went inside.
Then, they saw Song Shuyi, his face full of anger, confronting a group of richly dressed men in front of him.
Over there, Madam Song was also very angry. "Just now you came to buy agarwood, and we gave it to you first because of our past relationship. But you want to terminate other cooperation as soon as you see the time. How can you live with your conscience doing this?"
The Song family has just lost its head and is going through a difficult time. These people terminating their cooperation at this time is like adding insult to injury.
"What? Birds of a feather flock together. Your Song family looks like it's headed for the downfall, and you won't let us cut our losses in time?"
At this moment, Song Zhengtian stepped out from the crowd and said with a mocking expression.
"Song Zhengtian, it was you who did this again!"
Song Shuyi glared at him, both angry and confused. "Your father took great care of you when he was alive, and this is how you repay him?"
"Pah! 'Take care of me'? I'm in debt and about to be beaten to death, and he won't even pay me a penny. What kind of 'take care of me' is that?"
Upon hearing this, Song Zhengtian immediately said viciously, "A cold-blooded and ruthless person like him deserved to die; this is retribution!"
"You're talking nonsense! You clearly gambled away all your money. Your father paid it off for you many times, but you never learned your lesson. That's why he decided to stop interfering in your life in order to reform you!"
Upon hearing this, Miss Song immediately retorted excitedly, "Father has covered up countless pitfalls for you without making you pay them back. You are not only ungrateful, but now you are turning around and blaming others. You are simply an ingrate!"
"Pah! You want me to reform? What's wrong with gambling? He makes so much money, helping me pay off his gambling debts is nothing. I'm his relative, he's just selfish!"
However, Song Zhengtian showed no remorse whatsoever, and said matter-of-factly, "It is clearly Song Zhengyi who disregards brotherhood and is cold-blooded and ruthless!"
"So that's why my uncle hates the Song family so much!"
Song Shuyi was so angry he laughed. "Little sister is right. You're an ungrateful wretch. Cutting ties with you was the best thing I've ever done!"
"You little bastard, how dare you speak to your elders like that! I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your dead father!"
Upon hearing this, Song Zhengtian became enraged and was about to take action.
"Bang..."
As a result, he was shot in the arm by the gun that Ji Minxiu took out the next moment.
Of course, he only used an ordinary toy gun this time. It wasn't very powerful and wouldn't hurt his skin, but it would still hurt a lot.
"Ouch..."
Sure enough, Song Zhengtian immediately clutched his arms and wailed, glaring angrily at Ji Minxiu, "And who are you, daring to meddle in other people's business!"
“You are not worthy to know, and besides, you have severed ties with your family, so stop acting like an elder.”
After Ji Minxiu finished speaking, he looked at Song Shuyi and said, "If these people want to terminate their contracts, then just do it. People who kick you when you're down are not good business partners."
"good."
Song Shuyi readily agreed to Ji Minxiu's words, saying coldly, "You can terminate the contract, but you breached it first, so you can't skimp on the penalty."
“Okay.” The merchants glanced at Song Zhengtian and nodded in agreement.
You are all heartless bastards!
However, many merchants chose to stand with Song Shuyi, assuring him, "Don't worry, your father was a close friend of ours when he was alive, and we know your abilities. We believe you will be able to rebuild and support the Song family!"
Thank you…
Offering help in times of need is always the most touching, and Song Shuyi, with tears in her eyes, bowed deeply to them.
When they first returned, the merchants who blocked the Song family's house were all summoned by Song Zhengtian, and naturally they all sided with the Song family relatives.
These people are all coming to us on their own initiative, and many of them have a good relationship with Song's father, so there is no one-sided situation.
Afterwards, with tears in his eyes, Song Shuyi terminated the contracts with those merchants.
Madam Song and Miss Song were both crying their eyes out, but they didn't leave. They just stood there, wanting to remember those who had kicked them when they were down.
"Alright, the contracts have been terminated, you can leave now."
After signing the last contract, Song Shuyi spoke coldly to the merchants.
"You can't leave yet. You've sold a lot of agarwood, so you must have some money now. Pay me back now."
Since they've already broken off relations, those merchants are determined to go all the way.
Song Zhengtian sneered from the side, "The Song family has always valued integrity in business. I don't think you would renege on your debts, after all, everyone saw how much agarwood you just sold."
"good!"
Although Song Shuyi was very angry, he also knew the principle of paying back debts.
He glared at Song Zhengtian resentfully, then returned all the money to those people.
Once everything was over, he coldly gave them the order to leave, "Please leave!"
"Hmph, fine, go ahead and leave. But you lot, the Song family is just an empty shell now. Don't end up not getting your money back."
As they walked away, the merchants didn't forget to sow discord among those who chose to continue their cooperation.
"Get out of here!"
Even Madam Song was angered by their increasingly presumptuous attitude, and she grabbed a broom and started hitting them.
"Fine, I'll leave then. Who wants to stay here anyway?"
The merchants were chased away and fled in panic, turning to run away.
"Imperial edict has arrived!"
It was at this moment that a eunuch led a group of people in.
"Imperial edict?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
Upon seeing this, Song Zhengtian immediately looked at Song Shuyi and said, "My good nephew, what outrageous things have you done that have even drawn an imperial edict? Could it be that they've come to confiscate our property?"
"What, ransacking the house?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was in an uproar.
Meanwhile, the merchants who had successfully terminated their contracts and recovered their debts were all gloating.
Looking at the merchants standing on the Song family's side, he said sarcastically, "Oh dear, thank goodness we've gotten all our money back, otherwise we would have lost a fortune!"
Other merchants, unaware of the situation, were squeezed out and looked extremely unpleasant.
Although they are righteous, no one likes to lose money.
"Yi'er, what exactly is going on?" Madam Song and Miss Song were also filled with panic.
They had always been law-abiding citizens and had never received an imperial edict before, so they were afraid that there might be a calamity that would wipe out their entire family.
