Chapter 682: 682 Liu Family Recent Situation

Si Rong spoke with great confidence, for he believed that Ye Jiu would be tempted.

Although Ye Jiu had already adopted the business model of manufacturing her own products and providing them to other merchants, thus expanding her market substantially,

the fact remained that goods from a small town like Shuangxi Town simply didn’t have much fame, and many people didn’t even know about them. Therefore, there were significant limitations in terms of sales.

Otherwise, Si Rong wouldn’t have believed that cooperation between Ye Jiu and himself could lead to a win-win situation.

"Opportunity?" Ye Jiu, however, was puzzled, "What opportunity?"

Looking at Ye Jiu with a smile that carried a deep meaning, Si Rong said, "I heard that Miss Ye had a feud with the Liu Family during your time in the capital city."

"Guard Si Rong seems to be quite well-informed!" Back then, Si Rong was stationed at the frontier. The fact that he could know about her affairs in the capital made Ye Jiu suspect that either Sikong Mo or Si Nan had been talkative.

But upon further reflection, Sikong Mo clearly wasn’t the type to gossip about others, so Ye Jiu silently started to have her doubts about Si Nan.

Unfortunately, Si Rong had no idea that, in his ignorance, he had unwittingly sold out the innocent Si Nan.

At the moment, he was still engrossed in his own narrative, "The Liu Family has now fallen upon hard times. I just received news that the Princess Consort of the Liu Family, audaciously switched the Princely Heir of Prince Jing, allowing a child from who knows where to occupy the position of the Princely Heir for over a decade."

Speaking thus, Si Rong tut-tutted twice, "The Liu Family has always made their fortune through their women, being the famous Imperial Merchant, supplying cosmetics to the palace and winning the adoration of ladies and misses from all the great Aristocratic Families. They have built up their foundation for hundreds of years, yet now it has been dissipated overnight. All the members of the Liu Family have been thrown into the Heavenly Prison, with only Liu Yunqing who was outside escaping disaster."

What Si Rong did not know as he said all this was that the Princely Heir exchanged out from the Royal Residence of Prince Jing was standing right in front of him—the girl before him.

"What about Qin Zhou? If the Princely Heir of Prince Jing is indeed not Prince Jing’s own son, what has become of him now?" After hearing all this, Ye Jiu felt no sense of joy.

Even though she had always hoped that the Liu Family would meet with disaster, now that they truly had,

Ye Jiu’s mind was occupied by one thought alone—that since the truth of this matter had been exposed, what had become of Qin Zhou, the Princely Heir of Prince Jing?

Although there had been no real interaction between the two, he was the person that Ye Jiu had thought about the most from childhood to adulthood, if only because he was the child that should have belonged to the Ye Family.

And although he basked in the unwarranted prestige that didn’t belong to him, she had selfishly hoarded the fatherly and motherly love meant for him. Moreover, when there was clearly an opportunity to return it to him, she could not bear to let go.

It wasn’t until after she asked that Ye Jiu realized something was amiss about this whole affair.

Prince Jing and his entourage had left merely five or six days ago—it was still too soon for them to reach the capital. How could news of this affair possibly have spread so fast?

Fortunately, Si Rong’s explanation finally made it clear to Ye Jiu, "Didn’t Prince Jing’s entourage leave just a few days ago from here? They probably don’t even know yet that the Princely Heir he has been raising isn’t his own child.

It’s strange when you think about it—the Liu Family actually took the initiative to confess their guilt and offered up all their wealth, merely asking the Emperor to spare the Liu Family a way to survive. I was able to know this because I have some special channels. Outsiders all think that the Liu Family did something to offend the Emperor, hence why they were thrown into the Heavenly Prison."
