Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1734: Chapter 1731: Slap in the Face

Ye Muyu was also in a very good mood. She originally planned to teach the Gao Family a lesson, letting them understand that not everyone can be schemed against. They ruined her wood carving and attempted to frame her. Just based on this alone, she wouldn’t pretend as if nothing happened.

She squinted her eyes, only cursing “serves you right” in her heart.

The next morning, the residence received another message from Bai Bao Ge. This time, Bai Bao Ge’s attitude was very firm, clearly stating that other ladies wanted to buy the wood carving and they could no longer hold it for her.

Seeing the threatening undertone in the letter, Ye Muyu curved her lips into a smile, “Tell the people of Bai Bao Ge, in that case, I won’t compete for it.”

Su Mei responded with a hum, quickly turning around to handle the matter.

On the other side, when Bai Bao Ge informed Gao Ren of Ye Muyu’s reply, a vase shattered all over the ground.

The maidservants and servant boys in the room knelt down, trembling and silent, not daring to make a sound.

Gao Ren was furious, his chest rising and falling irregularly.

“Go, find out what is happening with the Chu family.” Gao Ren gritted his teeth and secretly sent someone to investigate.

At the same time, he inquired about the taels of silver lost by Bailan Pavilion.

As for Tang Dongfeng, as soon as the clothing in the shop became popular, he immediately bought the shop next to it, reorganized, and doubled the size of the entire Yonghe Clothing Shop. He also hired workers to demolish the adjacent shop and build a loft on top.

These things were done extremely swiftly. Within five days, he had reached cooperation agreements with ten shops in the capital.

On the Gao Family’s side, they were inquiring about which embroiderers the Chu family employed while searching for more outstanding embroiderers, preparing to create a new signature piece to reclaim their fame.

Meanwhile, commoners in the capital gradually discovered that ten affordable ready-made clothing shops suddenly appeared, with fabrics and clothes cheaper than before.

Instantly, a feverish buying spree emerged.

By the time Gao Ren learned of this news, it was already too late.

“The Chu family really does have a better loom!” Gao Ren said through gritted teeth, holding the secret message in his hand.

But by then, he knew it was too late, and he had no means to destroy the Chu family’s loom. He had the daring but not the skill and could only inform those above while anxiously asking, “Has Madam Chu’s wood carving been found?”

“Master, the Chu family’s staff are too secretive. Those we could find deliberately sabotaged, but I really can’t guarantee that there aren’t any we don’t know about.”

“Send someone to monitor the Chu residence.” Gao Ren gritted his teeth, unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity. Only when the Chu family got into trouble, would the Chu family’s loom be discovered, and by then, how could Yonghe Clothing Shop compete with us?

The servants immediately went out, and that night, after Gao Ren secretly met someone in the study, that person disappeared. At the same time, a secret message appeared in Chu Heng’s study.

After reading the secret message, Chu Heng burned it and instructed more secret guards, notifying them of this news.

After he finished handling things, he returned to the backyard, where Ye Muyu was reading by lamplight at night.

“Is it still books from Southern Border?” Chu Heng walked over and glanced at what she was writing.

Ye Muyu nodded, “Yes, it’s something Lu Sangqi brought over, said to be medical books from the Sacred Girl of Southern Border for the Elder Princess.”

“Actually, there are many medicinal herbs I haven’t seen before, probably only available in Southern Border.”

“Have you finished your work? Want to rest?” Ye Muyu tilted her head to look at him.

Chu Heng sat down on the soft couch.
