As the Ghost Festival approaches, the weather is still hot and humid.

The maids standing in the room gently waved their large feather fans, fanning the cool air from the ice basins placed around, making the room cool and pleasant.

But Fang Yuxiu put down her pen again and looked towards the other room.

"What's wrong?" Fang Yunxiu asked.

This is the fourth time Fang Yuxiu has been distracted today.

She has always been calm and composed, but she has never acted like this before.

"Who exactly is the guest that Grandma is meeting?" Fang Yuxiu asked, "Grandma looks..."

Fang Yunxiu looked inside hurriedly. Old Madam Fang was resting there. Through the beaded curtain, she could see her leaning on a beauty chair. She should have been taking a nap but she was squinting.

My grandmother has been a little absent-minded these past two days.

"Unhappy?" she asked in a low voice.

Fang Yuxiu shook her head.

"It seems like joy and sadness," she said, "but more of a feeling of disappointment. This guest must be an old acquaintance."

As she was speaking in a low voice, she saw Old Mrs. Fang sitting up.

"Someone come here," she called, "Call the shopkeeper Gao."

Fang Yuxiu nodded.

"It looks like Grandma has made up her mind," she said.

Fang Yunxiu was a little confused.

"What decision?" she asked.

…

"Madam, madam."

Yuanshi rushed in and whispered in Mrs. Fang's ear before she could raise her head.

Mrs. Fang raised her hand and pushed her away.

"Why are you being so sneaky?" She said unhappily, "Let's talk it over nicely."

Yuanshi did not look ashamed, but still anxious.

"The old lady is going to open the Tianzi basement." She said in a low voice, "She just called Manager Gao to come."

Mrs. Fang was startled and stood up.

Like all wealthy bankers, the Fang family also had a treasury in their mansion. According to rumors, the entire Fang family mansion was a warehouse filled with mountains of gold and silver.

This statement is of course exaggerated, but the Fang family does have several silver vaults, among which the Tianzi Silver Vault is the most mysterious one.

Mrs. Fang had been married for more than ten years and only knew that there were three storehouses: the storehouse of heaven, earth and man. She had been to the storehouse of earth and man, but she didn't even know where the entrance to the storehouse of heaven was.

The money in the vault all corresponds to the bill number and account book. When the vault is opened, the account must be opened, so the bill number must also be activated.

"The old lady said that this database is the foundation of the Fang family, and it will never be opened until the most difficult times." Mrs. Fang said with a surprised look, "Is the Fang family's business at its most difficult time?"

"That's impossible." Yuan said, "We are watching the business, there is no problem at all."

Mrs. Fang held her hand.

"That's related to the businessman," she said. "Maybe he wants to exchange the money he has deposited there."

Opening a vault is not a big deal.

Mrs. Fang sat down again. She was too nervous because of what Chengyu said.

"Let's go check it out later. It's very troublesome to open the vault." She said, "The most important thing is to be on high alert and make sure there are no omissions when transporting silver with so many people coming and going."

Yes, maybe there are enemies in the dark waiting to take advantage of the chaos.

Yuan replied that the safety of Old Madam Fang was the most important thing and the money was nothing.

…

When Yuan told Mrs. Fang that Old Madam Fang was going to open the basement, she also sent the news to Fang Chengyu.

Fang Chengyu was as surprised as Mrs. Fang.

"It's nothing, actually. We have many long-term businesses, but it's inevitable that someone will stop along the way and withdraw all the money." The attendant whispered, "It's not uncommon to open a basement."

"At this moment, the most common thing is actually the thing that we need to be most vigilant about." Fang Chengyu said, holding the simple note in his hand.

In order to deliver the message as quickly as possible, the content is kept very brief.

A businessman came, the old lady met him in person, and then she started to open the Tianzi Library.

For a business family, this is really not a big deal.

But the Fang family is not just a group of businessmen, and the business they do is not just as simple as running a banknote exchange.

"In addition to the imperial edict, there is something else." Fang Chengyu said, looking at his followers, "Hurry up and return to Yangcheng."

Faster?

This is the fastest.

The follower bowed his head and replied yes.

This message was not only sent to Fang Chengyu, but also to Jiulingtang in the capital. This was Fang Chengyu's instruction that the message given to him must also be given to Jiulingtang at the same time.

"The things in the vault cannot be moved." Miss Jun put the note on the table and said, "The secret of the Fang family is the foundation of the Fang family. It must be in the vault."

"What should we do?" Fang Jinxiu said, "Let alone the distance, will the old lady listen to us if we are told to hurry back? We don't know what she knows. You are talking about dangers, but there is no evidence. Everything is just speculation. How can she believe it?"

This is indeed a problem.

She couldn't even say what the danger was, let alone identify the person who brought the harm. Yuan Bao couldn't find or catch him, and Old Lady Fang didn't seem to care at all about the eunuch's appearance.

That means there is a eunuch involved in Old Lady Fang’s secret.

She can't always say it's intuitive.

Her intuition was correct though.

Miss Jun remained silent.

"The old lady is very stubborn," Fang Jinxiu said. "When those families came to propose marriage, they insulted us with their words and calculated our dowry, saying that we had no sons anyway, so we might as well give it all to our daughters."

She seldom talked about the past, and smiled as she did so.

"My grandmother said, why should we marry off our daughters? We should recruit sons-in-law. Our three daughters are our sons and share the family property. If you want to take advantage of our wealth, then marry in. We will choose our daughters-in-law carefully."

"What did you say?" Miss Jun suddenly interrupted her and asked.

Fang Jinxiu said "Oh".

"The daughter-in-law is a joke. Grandmother is humiliating them. It's like marrying a daughter-in-law instead of a son-in-law," she said.

Miss Jun shook her head.

"The first sentence," she said. "Dividing the family property?"

This one, Fang Jinxiu nodded.

"Yes, I wasn't one at that time...so we were raised as sons since we were young, and we were all involved in the family business. We were also planning to recruit a son-in-law, and of course we could divide the family property." She said, and she sounded a little disappointed.

It turns out that she still remembers all these things, remembers them clearly.

The next moment a hand touched her shoulder.

She came to her senses and looked at the pair of sparkling eyes in front of her.

"What are you doing?" she said cautiously, "Don't do anything to me, I'm not your historical sister."

Miss Jun chuckled.

"Then can you do something for me like Han Qing did?" she asked.

Fang Jinxiu snorted.

"It depends on what it is. I don't do everything," she said.

Miss Jun looked at her with a smile.

"I want you to go to the Fang family and fight for the family property," she said.

Fight for the family property? Me?

Fang Jinxiu was stunned.

…

On the road, Fang Chengyu's carriage sped. In order to speed up, they reduced the guards and only brought enough replacement horses.

While driving quickly, Fang Chengyu suddenly lifted the curtain.

"Stop," he shouted.

These words made everyone stop in panic.

"Young Master, your body can't take it anymore?" the guard leader asked nervously.

Fang Chengyu's face was a little pale, but his eyes were bright.

"Don't hurry," he said, holding a piece of paper in his hand. "Walk slowly."

Huh? Not in a hurry anymore? Want to walk slower?

The guards were stunned.

What should that family do?

Fang Chengyu smiled slightly.

"At home, I have sisters." He said, leaning back on the car, and exhaled comfortably, "It's great to have sisters."

…

Putting down the creed in her hand, the young lady sighed.

"What did she say?" Fang Yunxiu asked nervously.

Suddenly, I received a letter from Miss Jun. It was not for Old Madam Fang, but secretly sent to Fang Yuxiu.

Fang Yuxiu looked at her and spread her hands.

"Sister, do you think I look like a bad person?" she asked.

Fang Yunxiu was stunned.

"What?" she said. "She scolded you?"

They haven't had any contact with Jun Zhenzhen for a long time. Do they still remember the quarrel?

Fang Yuxiu threw the creed into the incense burner.

"It must be satisfying to be a bad person," she said, raising her eyebrows.
