When the Shunzhou incident first occurred, Han Yunqian had warned his grandfather, Old Master Han, but at the time, Old Master Han hadn't taken it too seriously. The Han family had enjoyed a good reputation in Yanbei over the past few years, and hadn't made any enemies. Furthermore, with the current momentum and the impending marriage with the Yun family, Old Master Han simply assumed the Lei family was secretly plotting, something the Han family had done to the Lei family many times before.
After problems arose in the Northwest Salt Well, although Han Yunqian had doubts in his heart, he did not mention them to his grandfather for some reason.
But then, the Han family encountered difficulties in several business ventures.
The Yun family originally intended to marry into the Han family, leveraging the Han family's business credentials to achieve a win-win situation. However, the head of the Yun family was also an extremely cautious person. When the Han family encountered problems one after another and the Yun family suffered losses, the head of the Yun family became alert and surprised.
It is obvious that someone is targeting the Han family in secret, but now the Han family and the Yun family are tied to the same boat. As the saying goes, you should look at the Buddha's face instead of the monk's. There are not many families in Yanbei who dare to confront the Yun family directly. Even Lei Ting, the head of the Lei family, has to give some face to Old Man Yun and will not be so cruel as to pit the Yun family and the Han family together. With the current power of the Lei family, even if Lei Ting has this ambition, he does not have the ability to do so.
So the person behind this...
Even the knowledgeable Mr. Yun was more and more frightened the more he thought about it and broke out in a cold sweat.
Yun Wenting, the eldest son of the Yun family, had also noticed something unusual early on and advocated a wait-and-see approach. Finally, after careful consideration, Old Master Yun temporarily suspended the cooperation plan he had previously agreed upon with the Han family.
If it were an ordinary family, they might be so shocked that they would cancel the engagement and completely distance themselves from the other party. Fortunately, the Yun family is not an ordinary family. Yun Wenting, the eldest son of the Yun family, and Han Yunqian are still close friends. The Yun family has no intention of severing ties with the Han family, but they just don't want to discuss cooperation.
However, the Han family's previous rapid development momentum slowed down due to the Yun family's caution.
After Old Master Han regained consciousness, he searched for the cause, trying to figure out who was secretly targeting the Han family, but to no avail. The person behind this would periodically seek opportunities to annoy the Han family, causing them to suffer minor losses. This would also bring misfortune upon those who did business with the Han family. But for some reason, the person behind this would simply not kill them. Sometimes they could be even more ruthless, playing with the Han family like monkeys, but the more they did so, the more they worried him.
At this time, Old Master Han had not yet realized that the hand behind him was playing tricks on him in the same way as he had played tricks on the Ren family. Now the situation has changed, but the hand was not as ruthless as he was.
That was how it went. Until one day, someone from the Han family's other in-laws, the Jiang family, arrived. It was Jiang Qianniang, the sixth daughter of the Jiang family. Jiang Qianniang's father, Jiang Yan, had become the head of the Jiang family during the previous internal strife. He was a man of means, and he quickly secured the position of head.
This time Miss Jiang Liu came to live in her aunt's house, the Han family. Her aunt Jiang married the eldest master of the Han family as his second wife.
Mrs. Jiang was also somewhat surprised by Miss Jiang Liu's arrival. Although Mrs. Jiang was Jiang Qianniang's aunt, Jiang Qianniang's father and she were only cousins. Furthermore, they were more than a dozen years apart in age, so their relationship was usually quite close.
