Revenge From the Yao Family

Of the officials in the current court, which family did not have extra income from other sources? Even Feng Jin Yuan had some small businesses that he operated. Of course, the Feng family mostly relied on the Chen family for support, but the current left prime minister, Lu Song, was completely reliant on his businesses to operate and support the entire Lu family’s expenses, as well as for his career.

From the very beginning, the Lu family did not intend to place all of their hopes in the eighth prince. With three daughters, they had already set their sights on the Yao family and the Ren family. It was just a pity that their only salvation remaining was the eighth prince. Lu Song was someone that could not be considered foolish. He knew that his position as the left prime minister was not stable. In truth, the position of left prime minister had never been stable, thus he had to prepare for the Lu family’s future while he still had power. With all kinds of situations occurring, he had to grab a hold of that final lifeline, no matter what happened.

After Lu Song and Ge shi finished speaking, they decided to gather all of the Lu family’s businesses from all corners of the world in the South. Their Lu family would thoroughly express their standpoint and fully support the eighth prince. They would place all of their chips on the eighth prince in hopes of having the clan prosper on the back of Lu shi*. At the same time, they used their connections with Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu to invite a granny from the palace to teach Lu Yan about the rules of the palace, in hopes of grooming Lu Yan into someone worthy of being a prince’s official princess. In regards to all of this, Lu Yan was very cooperative.

The Lu family reclassifying their family businesses was done very secretively. Even Lu Yan did not know about the details. Even the people that were responsible for those businesses kept their mouths shut, as they quietly executed Lu Song’s orders in quickly moving the Lu family’s businesses. And this so-called quickly really was quite quick. A large number of businesses actually finished their moves within a month. Starting from the capital and going South, they extended all the way to the southernmost Lan Zhou. They even began to expand into the desert.

However, just as the Lu family was rejoicing, just as Lu Song believed that everything had developed in the most wondrous manner imaginable, the Lu family’s steady businesses suddenly began to suffer massive losses! Also, these heavy losses began from the South and progressed toward the North, and this caught the Lu family unprepared.

It was as though the other side was opposing the Lu family and was like a destructive rolling stone. Taking down a shop each day, it was a battle every single day. In three days, a city was taken down. From the southern border, it gradually approached the capital. It became more and more proficient and faster. Finally, not one month later, all of the Lu family’s businesses were destroyed! All of their capital had become nothing! Even the people responsible for taking care of the businesses left the Lu family, either voluntarily or having been arrested by the government for all kinds of charges. The information network that Lu Song had spent many years to construct was completely destroyed. Even if he wanted to obtain some information, he could not do it. As long as his people left the capital, they would immediately lose contact. Not a single one of his people could take up this matter. Lu Song tried no fewer than ten times, but he could not get the slightest bit of information back.

He finally realized that there was something off about the situation. He began to feel afraid and began to feel dread. He also began to ponder precisely what was happening. Ge shi’s words reminded him: “Quickly go and ask Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu for help. Our Lu family is in the dark, but Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu and the eighth prince’s side can’t possibly have also been cut off. Have Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu help inquire.”
