Chapter 1213 - 1034: Sealing the Shop

Chapter 1213: Chapter 1034: Sealing the Shop

Bamu Town.

Elder Fang and Elder Du stood at the entrance of the Governor’s Office full of anticipation, waiting for Feng Liangji.

Elder Fang: "I hear that there are quite a few shops available for lease this time. What a pity that you and I have no connections here. Otherwise, we could open a few more shops and earn some extra silver."

A look of envy appeared on Elder Du’s face: "In my view, the Feng Family is really lucky, after forming ties with the Li Family, they directly climbed up to the Yan Family."

"Now that the Yan Family is flourishing, and they even have a Princess Consort, Prince Weiyuan managing all affairs in Xiliang, the Feng Family will soon be able to secure their footing in Xiliang by leveraging their connection with the Prince Residence."

Elder Fang was also very envious: "If there’s anyone to blame, it’s just that you and I weren’t as astute as old Feng back in the day." At the time, the Li Family’s business wasn’t even as big as our two families.

But look at the situation now, we’re not on par anymore!

Before long, Feng Liangji emerged from the Governor’s Office.

Elder Fang and Elder Du hurried forward, but as they got close they saw Feng Liangji’s face full of worry: "Dear nephew, were you able to lease any shops?"

At this moment, Feng Liangji had no interest in dealing with the two, but remembering the ten thousand silver note they previously gave, he perfunctorily said: "The shops available for lease this time have all been rented out."

Elder Fang and Elder Du’s faces changed drastically, pulling Feng Liangji and asking: "Dear nephew, can we still lease a shop? You promised us before that you would help us lease one."

Feng Liangji, already irritated, said impatiently: "All the shops have been leased out, I can’t do anything, not even I could lease a single shop for myself."

Elder Fang and Elder Du felt disheartened, seeing Feng Liangji’s terrible expression, they quickly said: "Dear nephew, this is not the place to talk, shall we go back to your shop first?"

Feng Liangji also wanted to return to his shop to think about what was going on. After all, when he last met with Bamu Town’s chief Ma Teng, the man had been courteous to him, but now he was being dismissive.

The shops he had reserved earlier were also directly claimed to be unavailable.

What went wrong?

...

Fangji Silk and Satin Shop.

Sun Jiayue was happily instructing the maids to pack up the goods bought from the merchants of the Western Regions: "Send all of these back to the Feng Family."

Maid: "Miss, aren’t you going to send some of these to the Master and Madam?"

Sun Jiayue smiled, "My elder brother will be coming soon, he can buy something for father and mother. My husband has promised to help my brother secure the tea selling rights, I should also show my filial piety to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

The maid smiled: "The Master is really good to the Miss, I’ve heard that the right to sell tea is very difficult to obtain, but as soon as Miss mentioned it, Master agreed without hesitation, showing how dearly he holds Miss in his heart."

Sun Jiayue enjoyed such talk, glanced at the maid with a smile, and was about to say something when she heard Feng Liangji’s voice coming from the front, and her face immediately lit up with joy: "My husband is back!"

She then quickly walked out.

Just as Sun Jiayue reached the front, she saw Feng Liangji dismissing Elder Fang and Elder Du with a displeased look: "Husband, why are you back so early? Didn’t you say you had leased a shop and needed to take a look at it?"

Feng Liangji waved his hand: "Don’t mention it, I didn’t manage to lease a single shop this time."

Sun Jiayue’s face changed: "How could this happen? Didn’t you say the town chief had promised to reserve a shop for you?"

Feng Liangji furrowed his brows: "I’m also trying to figure out why. My meeting with Chief Ma this time, his attitude towards me was completely different than before."

He then looked at Sun Jiayue.

"Jiayue, help me think, did I unintentionally offend him during this period?"

Hearing this, Sun Jiayue’s heart skipped a beat, and the memory of the encounter with that Madam while purchasing the tapestry came to mind.

"During this time, you have been busy with the shop’s business, you wouldn’t have had the chance to offend Chief Ma, right?"

Feng Liangji shook his head: "Chief Ma wouldn’t be ignoring me without reason, there must be something going on." After speaking, he summoned a servant boy to go out and gather information.

Watching the servant boy leave, Sun Jiayue’s heart suddenly started pounding, quickly recalling the day she bought the tapestry.

That day although she wanted to buy the tapestry, she didn’t insist after the other Madam stepped in. Surely she wouldn’t have offended anyone.

So, it should not be her reason that My Lord didn’t rent the shop.

Thinking of this, Sun Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Feng Liangji’s worried face, her eyes flickered and she tentatively said: "My Lord, could it be that someone doesn’t want you to open a shop?"

Feng Liangji suddenly looked up: "Who?"

With a guilty expression, Sun Jiayue said: "Because of my matter, the Li Family has always been dissatisfied with My Lord." She did not elaborate any further.

Whether it was the Li Family or not, blaming it on them could never be wrong. After all, the Li Family had been operating in Xiliang for many years, so it was not impossible.

Feng Liangji actually fell into deep thought, but after a while, he shook his head: "It shouldn’t be. I’ve asked around, and the Li Family did not open a shop in Bamu Town."

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed Sun Jiayue to show her face publicly.

Just then, the servant who had been sent to gather information returned.

Anxious, Feng Liangji asked: "How did it go, did you find out anything?"

The servant glanced at Sun Jiayue and dared not respond.

Sun Jiayue felt a tightness in her heart.

Seeing the servant hesitating, Feng Liangji grew angry: "I’m asking you, what are you dragging your feet for?"

Only then did the servant speak: "Master, I gave the hundred tael silver note you gave me to the attendant of Chief Ma, and only then did he speak up..." Once again, he glanced at Sun Jiayue.

At this point, Feng Liangji also sensed something was amiss and said sternly: "Speak up, what did he say?"

The servant bit the bullet and said: "A few days ago, Prince Wei Yuan was accompanying the Princess Consort for a stroll to ease her mind, and they happened upon Madam Sun."

Feng Liangji’s heart trembled, remembering his last visit to the Prince Residence, where the Princess Consort had spoken fondly of her wife, showing they had a close relationship.

The Princess Consort encountered Jiayue...

Feng Liangji didn’t dare to think further and turned to look at Sun Jiayue: "You met the Princess Consort?"

Turning pale, Sun Jiayue instinctively denied: "I don’t know, My Lord, I’ve hardly seen the Princess Consort, even if I did meet her, I wouldn’t recognize her."

Feng Liangji’s expression turned very ugly, and he didn’t need to ask what happened next.

Whether Jiayue offended the Princess Consort or not, the mere fact that she was his concubine and he kept her by his side was enough reason for the Princess Consort to dislike him directly.

What should be done now?

Having offended the Princess Consort, he would not be able to gain a footing in Xiliang.

The servant pondered and reminded: "Master, you haven’t paid a visit to your Third Uncle since you arrived."

Feng Liangji’s eyes lit up, yes, Third Uncle was in Ganzhou, perhaps he could ask him to mediate the situation.

"Prepare immediately, I will go to Ganzhou tomorrow."

Before the words fell, a squad of patrolling soldiers entered the shop.

Feng Liangji: "Officers, what is this about?"

The soldiers produced a document: "Someone reported that this shop does not comply with the regulations, and now we need to take it back. Hurry up and move the goods out, we are going to seal the shop tonight."

Feng Liangji’s face changed dramatically, and Sun Jiayue was also startled, not expecting the situation to become so serious.

...

The sealing of Fangji Silk and Satin Shop was a great surprise to both Elder Fang and Elder Du, who were both cunning and quickly realized that Feng Liangji must have done something wrong.

The Feng Family had kinship ties with the Prince Wei Yuan Residence, yet their shop was sealed, indicating the seriousness of the issue. Upon receiving the news, both men promptly went to Feng Liangji to get back the ten thousand taels of silver.

Feng Liangji, furious, returned the ten thousand taels silver note to them, arranged for the worried Sun Jiayue to stay in the inn, and then rode to Ganzhou on horseback.
