If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

The head of the Liu family was stunned in his chair. It was just a quarrel between two brothers. They fought in their own home because of a disagreement. No one was killed. At most, they would be punished with fifty lashes and then disciplined. But how did things turn out like this? He always felt something was wrong, but looking at the various documents in his hand, he couldn't tell what went wrong. All the accusations were directed at the Liu family and at him.

"Master Liu?" Chu Zeming spoke to wake him up from his daze, "How do you think this matter should be handled? Your Liu family is also a well-known family in Jizhou Prefecture. I would like to give face to Jizhou Prefecture and hear your opinion first."

Then he added, "You may have heard that a few months ago, Liuzhou Prefecture implemented a new policy that anyone who made a mistake would be paraded through the streets of the prefecture, depending on the severity of the mistake, to serve as a warning to others. Well, the former mayor of Suzhou Prefecture was replaced by the mayor because his eldest brother-in-law from the Yue family coveted the dyeing workshop in Liuzhou Prefecture. I'm sure you've heard about this, too."

The head of the Liu family was shocked again when he heard this. What did Lord Chu mean by this? This was originally a matter between brothers and within the family. How did it involve the change of the city lord of Suzhou? Wait, coveting the dyeing workshop in Liuzhou Prefecture? The second young master Liu came to grab the power of his brothers' industry? Could it be...

He suppressed the fear in his heart and carefully raised his head to look at the two adults sitting at the top. They looked like you can do it yourself. Then he turned to look at the young man sitting opposite him, who looked like he would fight to the end and would not give up.

At this time, Feng Yizhen said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Master Liu, you also heard what Butler Mei said just now. Madam began to blame my government office for negligence in management. Look at how your Liu family disciplines children? What are they doing? If this matter is not handled well..."

The meaning is very clear. If this matter involves the prestige of the government office and their reputation, then no matter how big the face is, it will be useless. If the Liu family can't manage their children well, the government office can help you manage them, and even how to manage them is not something the Liu family can control. Moreover, the lord of Suzhou Prefecture said that he would change it. If this matter is not handled well, it will offend the two government offices of Liuzhou Prefecture and Jizhou Prefecture. How can a small Liu family have a say?

Thinking of this, he broke into a cold sweat. When Young Master Liu forced his way in, he had already lost the initiative and became passive. This time, the Liu family had hit a wall, and they would have to pay the price for their arrogance and contempt for others. "Everything is up to the two adults, and our Liu family will not say no."

Chu Zeming and Feng Yizhen heard this and only then did they look at the head of the Liu family. Being able to sit in the position of the head of a family, no matter how muddleheaded he was, he would still have the courage when it came to the real interests of the family.

"Your family is the victim in this matter. Tell us what you want. I believe that Patriarch Liu will never be stingy if he can satisfy your demands, right, Patriarch Liu?" Chu Zeming looked at Mei Ying, who was sitting motionless below him, and asked in a calm voice.

Things had come to this point, and the head of the Liu family had no choice but to hold his nose and repeatedly agree: "Yes, yes, tell me first, listen to it."

Mei Ying, who had been studying the pattern on the tea bowl in her hand, raised her head and looked at the head of the Liu family who was sitting opposite her. He was no longer as arrogant as when he first came. "My family is not unreasonable. I only have three requests: First, what if you smash my shop? Second, what if you beat up my family members? Third, what if you disturb my young lady?"

Well, only three requirements? Well, it does make sense. Well, it's better for them not to talk. Chu Zeming and Feng Yizheng touched their noses at the same time, then picked up the tea bowl on the low table and decided to study it carefully to see if there was a new pattern.

The head of the Liu family was speechless when he saw the actions of the two adults sitting at the top. Could he also learn from them?

Obviously, he was not qualified in this matter. Now he regretted that he should not have listened to his son's instigation and come to Liuzhou Prefecture. Even if he came, he should not have sent the son who was spoiled by his wife. The most hateful one was Liu Xuanyi, the wicked son. This time, he was the one who had caused the situation to come to this point. He was really a wicked son who came to collect debts!

The head of the Liu family has now completely forgotten that the evil son he mentioned is also his biological son. He once truly loved them, but this love was so short-lived, and was later tortured beyond recognition by his ruthlessness and disregard. It is not worth lingering on it at all.

"Butler Mei, the Liu family can compensate for the damaged shop." The head of the Liu family took a deep breath, lowered his posture and said in a negotiating tone, "The Liu family can also pay for the medical expenses of the person who gave the reward. You can have someone calculate the losses and report the amount to me. Do you think this is feasible?"

"How do you deal with the matter of disturbing my young lady? Is my family just short of your little money? Or is your Liu family so rich that you can solve murder and arson with money?" Mei Ying stared at the head of the Liu family and asked coldly.

The head of the Liu family, who was sitting opposite him, blushed. No matter what, he was the head of the Liu family and a well-known figure in the whole Jizhou. No one had dared to bully him like this since he was a child. The anger suppressed in his chest surged up without him noticing.

"Cough," Chu Zeming, who was studying the tea bowl, seemed to be choked and coughed lightly.

It was this slight cough that awakened the angry head of the Liu family. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the place where Chu Zeming was sitting with gratitude. Fortunately, the adults stopped him when he was impulsive and said something wrong, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Since the situation has become so passive for the Liu family, it would be wrong to say anything now, so just leave it to the other party and listen to what he means. As long as it is not too outrageous, he can agree to anything he can decide, as long as the matter can be settled as soon as possible, and he can make up for it later if there is anything else.

After figuring it out, the head of the Liu family felt relieved, and his expression was no longer as tense as before, but became much more relaxed. Seeing this, Chu Zeming and the other two who had been secretly watching him knew that the next thing was most likely to be done.

"Butler Mei, let's not beat around the bush. In front of the two adults at the Liuzhou government office, just tell me what you want. I will do my best to satisfy you as long as I can make the decision."

"Master Liu is really straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush," Mei Ying put down the tea bowl she had been holding, sat up straight and continued, "My wife and daughter are afraid that Young Master Liu or someone else will use the name of our family to do something like this again in the future."
