Chapter 1625: Your Idea... Is Too Dirty

Zhao Xi pointed at himself, "What inspiration?"

Shu Yu pondered for a moment and said to Dazhuang, "I remember when we went to Donggu County last time, Young Master Wu told me that Master Qian's workshop was being quietly transformed. The Qian family used to be in the tea business, but now they plan to turn the tea workshop into a sunflower seed workshop. It's been over a month, so it should be almost done. You should go to Donggu County later to confirm."

Dazhuang nodded repeatedly, "Alright."

"If it's confirmed, then spread the news secretly, say..." Shu Yu smiled, "The Qian family in Donggu County is about to produce sunflower oil for the palace."

Zhao Xi, "..."

Dazhuang, "..."

Ignoring their astonished expressions, Shu Yu grinned, "What are you looking at? It's a great idea. The Qian family hasn't even grown sunflowers yet, but I'll promote it for them several months in advance, saving them the effort of finding a market later."

Zhao Xi chuckled, yes, you are promoting it for them, but the problem is that your statement could easily put the Qian family in hot water.

Who would dare to be so audacious? Talking about royal palace purchases without any basis.

The Lu family's promotion mentioned the palace purchases boldly because it was based on facts.

But would the Qian family dare to say such things? They would be charged with a serious offense.

Zhao Xi couldn't help but give Shu Yu a thumbs-up, "Your idea... is too dirty."

Shu Yu glared fiercely at him, "How is my idea any different from yours?"

Zhao Xi twitched his lips.

Of course, there's a difference! He fabricated the charges, which might sound intimidating, but they were baseless and unreliable speculations. Shu Yu, on the other hand, intends to make the charges stick.

The Qian family might not admit it, but they indeed had someone stealing sunflower seeds.

They might claim it was for decorative purposes, but their tea workshop had long been transformed into a sunflower seed oil production workshop.

See, there's evidence!!

And with the support of the local magistrate, even if they can't prove the Qian family's guilt, they will undoubtedly face serious consequences.

Shu Yu didn't bother with Zhao Xi and turned to Dazhuang, "Do you have any questions?"

Dazhuang's eyes gleamed with excitement, "No problem, Master. I'll take care of this matter. I'll leave right away."

"Wait." Shu Yu said, "I'll have Yingdong accompany you. Donggu County is the Qian family's territory, and Yingdong is skillful and adaptable. You can cooperate with each other."

Dazhuang quickly nodded and went to call Yingdong.

Yingdong was now the steward of the Lu family. He was literate and smart, and the Lu family found him very reliable.

Shu Yu explained the matter to him, and Yingdong immediately agreed.

Shu Yu then said to both of them, "Only a few of us know about this. Don't spread it outside. Once you get to Donggu County, just spread the rumors subtly; there's no need to make a big fuss. As long as the rumor exists, and coupled with Zhang Qing being caught stealing sunflower seeds, I can sue him."

"Understood."

"Yeah... and disguise yourselves."

Under Shu Yu's arrangement, Dazhuang and Yingdong quickly changed into inconspicuous attire and then left the Lu family on fast horses.

Watching their receding figures, Shu Yu touched her chin and chuckled, "This time, I'll make the Qian family suffer losses, and it just so happens that I can clear my family's name and promote the truth."
