Upon arriving at the ports of Guangdong and Guangxi, Qingyan followed Yin off the ship. Fei Yanggu was overjoyed to see his daughter return, and was not bothered by the complicated matters in the capital.
"Father, why did you come to greet me personally?" Qingyan's mood improved as she saw Fei Yanggu approaching. She quickly walked to his side and nuzzled his arm as she spoke.
"Of course we have to come and welcome her, our daughter is back!" Fei Yanggu had been worried about Qingyan's departure. Even though Saito and Eshuo had already gone, he was still concerned that his little girl might be bullied.
Qingyan leaned against Fei Yanggu's shoulder, nuzzling him from side to side. Yin's face instantly darkened. Qingyan had indeed seen Fei Yanggu and would definitely have completely forgotten about Yin.
"Let's go back first!" Fei Yanggu waved his hand, signaling Yin to follow him to the study.
Before they returned, Kangxi's decree had already arrived. Fei Yanggu was furious to see that his daughter had almost been tricked.
The group returned to the naval port. After Qingyan, Yin, and Fei Yanggu and his son sat down in the study, Fei Yanggu sent everyone out.
“Father, I have a feeling something is wrong. The Tongjia clan hoped to gain some benefits, but they didn’t take advantage of this opportunity to destroy Linglong Pavilion like they did this time!” Qingyan’s face showed helplessness.
The study fell silent as Fei Yanggu pondered Qingyan's words. In their view, the Tongjia family had been instigated, and Linglong Pavilion had become a thorn in their side. Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken advantage of the Tong family's relationship with Yin to directly exploit Linglong Pavilion's weaknesses.
“Father, I think it should be Guo Luoluo’s. After all, Ninth Prince has always hoped to make some progress in the business world. After all, Fourth Prince and the other princes have all made achievements in the previous dynasty. His following Eighth Prince can be considered an investment. However, Eighth Prince has already been reprimanded by His Majesty several times,” Saito said directly.
Yin looked somewhat embarrassed; the Eighth Prince's actions had made him lose face.
While the princes were fighting amongst themselves, they maintained a peaceful facade. However, Yinsi instigated Yin to target Qingyan's businesses.
Fei Yanggu was also an outspoken person, and whenever someone went to Linglong Pavilion's shop, they would spot Yin Si's people.
Over time, many people in the court began to say that Yinsi was a cunning man. In most cases, Yinsi would never show his face in person, but would instead send his servants to act as his agents. Of course, these servants would usually be the ones to pave the way.
Previously, Yinsi had two shields in front of him: Yin and Yin'e. However, recently, Yin'e has stopped standing before Yinsi, and everyone has noticed that the Eighth Prince's faction is slowly beginning to change.
"Father-in-law, what do you think?" Yin needed to hear Fei Yanggu's thoughts, after all, no one understood the struggle better than Fei Yanggu.
“Both families are involved, and of course, the Hesheli clan may also be involved. Of course, it’s uncertain whether the Dong’e clan is involved!” Fei Yanggu believes that the maternal families of several wives should all be involved.
Since Yingenjueluo had made a deal with him, she certainly wouldn't stab him in the back. Therefore, Feiyanggu was still quite confident that Yingenjueluo hadn't been involved.
Qingyan understood from Fei Yanggu's words that Fei Yanggu was trying to comfort her.
"Father, have I caused trouble for the family?" Qingyan always felt that opening a shop was an income boost for the family and absolutely did not want her shop to cause any trouble for them.
Fei Yanggu shook his head: "Who said you caused trouble for the family?"
"If it weren't for Linglong Pavilion and Yuelai Inn, those people in the capital definitely wouldn't be eyeing our family!" Qingyan said with difficulty, "Every time there's a problem, it's because someone is jealous of those two places!"
Qingyan has discovered several crises, all because people are envious of the two shops and want to take them over.
"Of course not, the family is so wealthy because Xiao Guai is capable!" Among the military officers born with Fei Yanggu, how many can be as well-off as Fei Yanggu?
On the surface, they all held high positions, but in reality, their residences were all very cramped. Fei Yanggu, on the other hand, was not only not cramped, but could also spend money as he pleased.
This move made many people envious. When Kangxi went to fight Galdan, Fei Yanggu went on the expedition with a few old men. He saw them complaining that the mansion was always short of money for the New Year.
Fei Yanggu was delighted to learn how other military commanders lived in their residences, and he was glad to have Qingyan as his daughter.
“Father, it’s not surprising that he would resort to such methods because he’s always wanted to get involved in the business world,” Qingyan said helplessly, shaking his head.
Akdun walked in from outside, carrying a thick stack of documents, all of which were messages presented to Feiyanggu by Ulanara's spies.
Fei Yanggu flipped through some of the documents and found that they also recorded Yin's actions in detail. Yin Si and Yin Tang were planning to bribe the officials in the south, but those officials were all shrewd and offered high prices.
"Little darlings, you two should take a look too." Fei Yanggu handed the message to Yin and Qingyan, who quickly browsed it and were speechless when they saw the message.
Yin actually interfered in a lot of business. Not only did Linglong Pavilion suffer considerable pressure, but Yuelai Inn and other industries also suffered from Yin's interference.
Guo Luoluo clan was behind Jin Suiyin, and had always been involved in the author's small business.
"Father, what is Guo Luoluo planning to do?!" Qingyan was stunned. "Those people are not business people. If they do these kinds of businesses behind Jin Suiyin, they will definitely lose money!"
Fei Yanggu smiled. These people are unwilling to admit defeat; they think they are the most capable. Otherwise, they wouldn't have used the same methods to obstruct him.
"They're nothing but a rabble!" Yin thought, throwing the message on the table. He was furious. In his eyes, these people were clearly after his own interests.
"Let's deal with the Guoluo clan for now. We can't interfere with the other families yet. Even the Hesheli clan has to follow His Majesty's orders!" Fei Yanggu said, somewhat annoyed.
Yin sighed helplessly. In the court, a balance needed to be struck, so Qingyan was somewhat passive.
"Father, I'll deal with it first!" Qingyan nodded. The Guo Luo family's foundation in the business world wasn't deep, so it would be easier to handle.
“Tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to contact the Guo Luoluo family. Xiao Guai, you think of a name for the shop,” Fei Yanggu said to Qing Yan.
Um? !
Qingyan looked completely bewildered. She needed to think of a name for the shop?
