Chapter 2065: Liu Yichen
Chapter 2065: Liu Yichen
Thirty years ago, the Liu Castle was still a slightly famous merchant.
Liu Chengfeng, the head of the Liu Castle, only had one daughter, Liu Shijun. Therefore, Liu Shijun was also groomed as the heir of the Liu Castle.
Liu Shijun often followed her father to collect accounts, manage shops, and compete with those businessmen in the business world. Her business methods and courage were not inferior to a man’s, and her character was bold and straightforward. She ate and drank big bowls. She was just a woman.
Many people often wondered why the heir of the Liu Castle was a woman. She clearly had a man’s heart.
Although Liu Shijun was beautiful and charming, but such a wild woman, which man could tame her?
Besides, even if a man fell in love with Liu Shijun, would his parents and family agree?
A man marries a virtuous woman.
If he wanted to marry, he had to marry a lady from a wealthy family, not a woman who showed her face in public.
Even if someone was interested in Liu Shijun, it should be for her money, not for her!
However, when many people despised Liu Shijun, what shocked everyone was that Liu Shijun got married.
That’s right.
Liu Shijun was married.
She married a man named Ye Mohan.
It was said that the two fell in love at first sight during the Lantern Festival.
Or perhaps it was a hero saving a damsel in distress, triggering a beautiful love story.
Liu Shijun was being teased, and Ye Mohan stood up to defend her.
At that time, many people saw Ye Mohan dressed in plain clothes. He looked shabby, but at first glance, one could tell that he was a poor scholar.
However, he was handsome and had the temperament of a scholar. He was full of justice and was an upright man.
Liu Shijun fell in love with Ye Mohan at first sight.
When she saw him for the second time, he was giving out buns to the little beggars.
Such a kind man moved Liu Shijun.
Liu Shijun’s beauty and forthright personality also attracted Ye Mohan.
The two of them got married.
The man was a live-in son-in-law.
However, he was willing.
It was said that it was because he loved Liu Shijun and was willing to be Liu Shijun’s live-in son-in-law.
However, some people were secretly disdainful and said,” What do you mean by loving Liu Shijun? Isn’t it because of her money?”
Of course, no one would be so stupid as to criticize Ye Mohan in front of Liu Shijun.
What was even more shocking was the married Liu Shijun.
She restrained her carefree personality and became a virtuous, gentle, and lovable woman.
Of course, she would only act like this in front of her husband.
After Ye Mohan married Liu Shijun, he treated her even better.
Every day, he would wash his hands, make soup, and send it to her study. He would only leave after Liu Shijun had finished her meal.
This touched Liu Shijun, who thought that she had married the right person.
Liu Chengfeng had initially opposed the marriage between Liu Shijun and Ye Mohan.
He felt that Ye Mohan wasn’t a good person.
Ye Mohan was a poor scholar. He gave up everything, even his parents, to become a live-in son-in-law. However, he was also a cold-blooded person.
However, after seeing the daily love between the two of them after they got married, Liu Shijun’s busyness, and Ye Mohan’s thoughtfulness and gentleness, he slowly let go of his prejudice. He also felt that his daughter, indeed, needed such a man to care for her.
A year after their marriage, Liu Shijun got pregnant.
When Liu Chengfeng saw that his daughter was pregnant, he wanted her to take good care of her pregnancy and give birth to his grandson.
Therefore, he started to let Ye Mohan handle the matters of the Liu Clan.
If Ye Mohan married Liu Shijun, it would mean that he had entered the business register and could no longer take the imperial examinations.
But he was willing to give up.
The Liu father and daughter would always remember Ye Mohan’s huge sacrifice.
Although Ye Mohan had been a poor scholar before, what surprised Liu Chengfeng was that Ye Mohan also had a business mind and was quite talented.
After Liu Shijun got pregnant and gave birth to a child, Ye Mohan’s talent in business was displayed. Liu Chengfeng slowly handed over the business of the Liu Castle to Ye Mohan.
As expected, the business of the Liu Clan was getting bigger and bigger.
After Liu Shijun gave birth to her son, Liu Chengfeng fell in love with this kind of life.
He passed the position of the Lord of the Liu Castle to Liu Shijun.
The husband and wife were doing business together and working together seamlessly. It was really difficult to have a rival in the business world.
After that, the Liu Clan’s reputation grew. Liu Chengfeng would happily play with his grandson, Liu Yichen, at home every day.
However, when Liu Yichen was three years old, Liu Chengfeng suddenly felt that the sky was about to collapse.
His daughter and son-in-law were killed by bandits on their way back to the Liu Castle.
At that moment, he wanted to follow his daughter.
However, when he saw his grandson in front of him, he knew that he could not go like this.
He still had a grandson to raise.
If he went, how could he support his grandson?
Just like that, Liu Chengfeng endured his grief and held the funeral for his daughter and son-in-law.
After that, he had been teaching his grandson carefully.
His grandson, Liu Yichen, might have inherited the husband and wife’s business talent.
Although he was only three years old, he could still understand Liu Chengfeng’s words.
This gave Liu Chengfeng some comfort.
Unexpectedly, one day, Liu Chengfeng was poisoned and did not even tell his grandson, Liu Yichen, a word.
Liu Yichen was only six years old back then.
However, before Liu Chengfeng’s funeral arrangements were made, Liu Chengfeng’s younger brother, Liu Minfeng, openly took over everything in the name of adopting Liu Yichen.
After all, Liu Minfeng’s actions would cause criticism.
Therefore, he announced to the public that Liu Yichen would be the Lord of the Liu Castle.
However, Lord Liu Yichen was still young. He would temporarily take over the position of Lord of the Liu Clan and handle the affairs of the Liu Clan. When the Little Lord was twenty years old, he would return the entire Liu Clan Castle to Liu Yichen.
Whether it was the people of the Liu Clan or the businessmen who worked with the Liu Clan, they were all very perceptive.
Liu Chengfeng, Liu Shijun, and Ye Mohan had both passed away. The heir of the Liu Clan was too young to support the clan.
As a result, Liu Yichen was soon forgotten.
As the Lord of the Liu family, he only ate leftovers and then ate them in his own courtyard.
But there was one person who could not forget him.
This was Liu Minfeng.
Liu Minfeng knew very well that as long as Liu Yichen was around, he would continue to threaten him and his sons to inherit the Liu Clan Castle.
After that, Liu Minfeng had an idea from a concubine.
That was to let his sons and Liu Yichen fight for the position of Lord of the Castle in the name of training.
In this way, not only did he seal the mouth of the outside world, but he also gave his sons a legitimate reason to seize the position of the Lord of the Castle.
However, Liu Yichen was only six years old. For a six-year-old child to fight for the position of Lord of the Castle with three or four people who were already twenty years old, it was obvious that this was a trick.
Moreover, the position of the Lord of the Castle was originally Liu Yichen’s. Why would he still need to fight for it?
However, Liu Yichen was small and weak. He had no one to help him, so he could only get involved in this fight.
Speaking of which, this fight was originally a conspiracy.
Because Liu Yichen was quickly chased out of the Liu Castle by Liu Minfeng, claiming that he had failed to defeat his challengers.
The moment Liu Yichen was chased out, he swore to himself that he would take back the Liu Castle.
