Chapter 128: Each With Their Own Plan
” Young Lady Lian, Any order for us?”
” Keep an eye on the Cai Family mansion. Report if any suspicious people come and go.” Lian Luoqiu spoke with a light voice.
” I didn’t expect them to agree to our term this easily.”
” Me neither.” Lian Luoqiu looked at the old man beside her as she shook her head. ” I mean…Cai Yixue tried to delay it as much as possible. After all, she needs time to think of a proper plan.”
” However, To think she would agree right away. Something isn’t fitting right.”
” Not to mention, her husband…” Lian Luoqiu rubbed her lips. ” Where did such a person come from?”
” The moment he came into Cai Family, it’s like everything has changed. Cai Family didn’t suffer the setbacks it was supposed to suffer.”
” A great talent which even put scholars ashamed? I am really curious about him.”
” Jia Hao, Is it?” Lian Luoqiu looked amused.” Perhaps after Cai Family perishes, I might make him my little pet.”
” Cai Family is still standing strong. Making it fall…”
” Butler Qu, Have you forgotten?” Lian Luoqiu looked at Butler Qu. ” Marquis Guo already received the favor of the Third Prince. He already gathered enough army.”
” After we take the remaining portion of Silver Lightning Cavalry, Don’t you think it will be easier to chop down Cai Family?”
” So, Either they are going to fight till the bitter end, Or…They are going to sell their daughter to Third Prince. All in all, I shall see Cai Yixue’s fall in the end.”
” Once this is done, Only the Shen Family will be our target. After crushing them, Our Silkward Chamber will grow and contend against Heavenly Star Commerce and Sky Treasure Gallery.”
” Young Miss is wise…” Butler Qiu nodded. ” But about your engagement…”
” Why do you think I am doing all this thing?” Lian Luoqiu couldn’t help but snarl. ” You think they will try to sell to me to that bastard after all I have done?”
Butler Qiu wanted to say something, but he remained silent. ” Very well…I have prepared the carriage.”
” Then let’s depart.”

Both Jia Hao and Cia Yixue remained seated before each other silently. After a while, Cai Yixue opened her mouth.
” I am really sorry. I am putting you in all this mess.”
” Why should you say sorry?” Jia Hao smiled wryly. ” The moment I married you, Did I not take the promise to share both joy and trouble?”
” But, That doesn’t mean I have to attract trouble every time.” Cai Yixue took a deep breath. ” Anyway, If we go according to your new plan for the restaurant, we can easily earn over two hundred thousand taels of gold per month.”
” So, if I extend the time a few months, we might have enough money in our hands. We shall slowly give farmers their share.”
” I am afraid we don’t have much time.” Jia Hao smiled bitterly.
‘ I saw Lian Luoqiu’s recent future point. After a month, she will sell the Cai Family estate to some Marquis Guo and receive an Imperial Token.’
‘ That means the Cai Family must have sold off the estate or perished entirely.’ Jia Hao calculated with a sigh.
” What do you mean by that?” Cai Yixue became a bit confused.
” Nevermind. Our current priority is to sell the silk cocoons and get the right price for it.”
” But how are we going to get it?” Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao with a bitter face. ” Lian Luoqiu is very shrewd. Since she came here, that means she probably planned well to trap us.”
” It’s not like only she can trap us.” Jia Hao’s lips curled into a devious grin. ” You are underestimating your husband far too much.”
” Huh? What do you mean…”
” Nothing.” Jia Hao got up. ” Wife, just gather where they are storing all the silk cocoons. I believe it’s either the Shen Family or Niu Family’s workshops.”
” What are you going to do?” Cai Yixue’s tone became a bit worried. ” If you try to do something, the City Guards will use that as leverage and arrest you.”
” Don’t worry about that, Wife. I know what am I doing.” Jia Hao turned around to leave. ” Just wait for me to come back.”
Cai Yixue tried to call Jia Hao, but she clenched her fist. Getting up, Cai Yixue called Minmin.
” Minmin, Prepare the carriage. I need to visit the bun shop and restaurant.”
” Yes, Young lady.” Minmin nodded as she looked at Cai Yixue. ” I guess…Young Lord’s mood isn’t very well right now.”
” Yes…He is…Very angry.” Cai Yixue looked out the window for a moment.
” Hehe, It seems like you both are very similar.” Minmin smiled. But Cai Yixue shook her head.
” I do get angry, but I remain rational. He…He feels different. He is someone who won’t swallow insults that easily. I am afraid he will do something bad.”
” I hope he doesn’t.”
Jia Hao closed the room as he sat on the bed.
” Haha….HAHAHAHA!”
Jia Hao laughed out loud as he slapped his thigh. ” Hahaha, Fuck! I thought I am going to live as a salted fish here. But this damned Imperial Family really trying to piss me off, huh?”
” Third Prince Li Yuan? You little fucker dare to eye at my wife and lover?”
” And that bitch Lian Luoqiu, That slut… That contempt in her gaze…”
Jia Hao took a deep breath as he felt the anger was affecting his mind, filling him with blind rage.
‘ No, I need to calm down. Why do I feel the desire qi is amplifying my emotions?’ Jia Hao slapped his cheeks gently as he calmed down.
‘ Lian Luoqiu, Is it…I shall see you.’
Jia Hao got on the bed as he fell asleep.

Opening his eyes, he saw it was already morning in Tianhsu Nation. Yawing, He got outside from his bed and washed his face.
” Huh? I thought you weren’t going to wake up early.”
” Morning, Xing’er.” Jia Hao saw Su Xing’er in her tracksuit. ” Are you going to gym?”
” No, I am not going there.” Su Xing’er shook her head. ” I am just doing some light exercise before the tournament.”
” Sister Lan hasn’t woken up yet?”
” Not yet.” Su Xing’er turned around. ” I am going to the garden to exercise. Can you go and wake up Big Sis?”
” Sure.”
Jia Hao walked to Su Lan’s room as he knocked on the door. ” Big Sister Lan? Are you awake?”
Hearing no answer, Jia Hao opened the door and stepped inside. As he walked near the sleeping Su Lan, suddenly, her arms stretched and pulled him onto the bed.
” Good Morning, Hao’er.”
Jia Hao saw Su Lan looked at him with a light smile with sleepy eyes.
Without any warning, Jia Hao leaned forward, and kissed her lips tenderly.
” Good Morning. Lan.
