I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

Xie Jingrui spotted Mu Mu outside with his sharp eyes, and he carried the little guy in from outside.

Liu Fufeng looked at Liu Mubai with some reluctance. He raised his hand and gently comforted Liu Mubai, saying, "Mumu, father is going to be busy outside for a while. When father comes back, I will bring you delicious food and fun things, okay?"

Liu Mubai listened to the conversation between them just now. At this moment, she was looking at Liu Fufeng intently, not knowing what she was thinking. After pondering for a while, she nodded heavily.

After Liu Fufeng finished his instructions, he planned to go to the palace to meet the emperor.

Xie Jingrui's eyes fell on Liu Zhengtang, his sword-like brows knitted slightly, and then he said, "Lord Liu, why don't you let me take him back, give him a place to live alone, and let a few secret guards watch him."

"My second brother still has to go to court. Yue'er won't be able to take care of her by herself. I am worried."

Liu Zimo also thought that this was the best idea, so he agreed.

After receiving Emperor Hexu's approval, Liu Fufeng left Kyoto the next day.

The Empress Dowager, mindful of the many disasters that have befallen Kyoto in recent times, has decided to go to Manpuku-ji Temple to pray for peace in the capital in two days. The Empress, some important concubines, and some noble ladies will also go along.

Liu Yueru, the only person who was divorced by the emperor's personal order, is also on this list.

When Liu Yueru saw the invitation, her face changed slightly. She suddenly remembered that when her elder brother left just now, Liu Mubai's expression was exceptionally calm, neither crying nor angry.

"Oh no." Liu Yueru sent servants to look for Liu Mubai.

Everyone searched the mansion but couldn't find Liu Mubai. Liu Yueru frowned.

He raised his hand and called the secret guard: "Go after big brother and see if Mu Mu secretly got on his carriage?"

The secret guard responded and left.

At this moment, Uncle Fu suddenly rushed back from outside.

Uncle Fu, who always does things in a humorous way, was the first time Liu Yueru saw him act in such a hurry with a hint of anxiety on his face.

Before Uncle Fu could speak, Liu Yueru stood up first and asked with concern, "Uncle Fu, what happened?"

Seeing that Uncle Fu was a little out of breath, Liu Yueru signaled the servants to serve him tea.

He took the tea and took a big sip before bowing to Liu Yueru and saying, "Madam, we have already chosen a grain shop and are doing some simple repairs. But the shopkeeper of the shop next door came with bad intentions. He brought a group of people to smash our grain shop and threatened that if we dare to open another grain shop near that shop, they will smash it every time they see us."

Uncle Fu showed a guilty look on his face as he spoke, and looked at Liu Yueru helplessly and said, "This old servant really has no other choice, so I came here to ask for your advice, my lady."

Liu Yueru's face darkened instantly. She immediately stood up and said to Uncle Fu, "Call those official slaves. I want to see if those people can still turn the world upside down under the emperor's feet."

She said and was about to walk outside.

Uncle Fu stopped Liu Yueru and said, "Madam, please listen to what I have to say first. The owner of the No. 1 grain store is Young Master Rong. He is so arrogant in Kyoto because he has connections in the palace. Although there are no rules for grain stores in Kyoto, many people are afraid of the power behind Young Master Rong. That's why I must ask you to find the prince and ask him to agree to be the official owner of our grain store."

After saying this, Uncle Fu looked at Liu Yueru with a tentative look.

But Liu Yueru's face was still full of anger. "Just because he has someone in the palace, can he be so arrogant and unreasonable and disrespect the law? The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Isn't he afraid that someone will report this to the emperor?"

Uncle Fu sighed softly, "Madam, Young Master Rong's aunt is the current Concubine Hui Rong Luoning. Now is the time for the princes to fight for the throne, and no one wants to offend those imperial concubines, so the people in the upper echelons mostly try to make these big things small and small things disappear."

Liu Yueru narrowed her eyes slightly. Both Concubine Hui and the Fourth Prince Xie Xuanyu were hiding deep inside, like a poisonous snake lurking in the deep palace, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

However, Liu Yueru must open this grain shop. If this shop is not opened, the people below will not have enough food supply, and the nobles will hold most of the food in their hands. During this period, the northern border and the surrounding small states are ready to move. If a war is launched again, it will be difficult for Kyoto.

My eldest brother has gone to the border area and no one knows when he will be back. If a war breaks out, Xie Jingrui will be the only one guarding Kyoto, and there will be a shortage of food, which will eventually lead to internal and external troubles.

Liu Yueru clenched her hands. This was the only way for her to stabilize the people and buy more time for her brother to come back.

"We can't be afraid of causing trouble this time. Since we called Shangguan Nu and they are not afraid of making things worse, we will expose the matter and report it to His Majesty."

A smile suddenly appeared on Uncle Fu's face, which was originally full of worry. He understood what Liu Yueru wanted to do.

Uncle Fu smiled and went to make arrangements.

Liu Yueru glanced towards the darkness.

Then he got on the carriage and went to Huimin Grain.

That was the name Liu Yueru gave to the grain shop. Master Rong and his group had not left yet.

Master Rong stood in front of the plaque that read "Benefiting the People's Grain", stomped on it a few times, and spat at it.

The brothers who followed him smiled at Master Rong and said, "He wants to open a shop next to the No. 1 Grain Shop without any skills. I think that old man doesn't want to live anymore."

Young Master Rong sneered with disdain, "I heard that their boss is a woman. If I saw a girl from a good family running a grain store, I would skin her alive. She didn't even look at whose territory this place belongs to. How dare she open a grain store under my nose without my permission?"

"After what you just taught them, I don't think they will dare to do it again. Besides, the old man looked so shabby when he ran away. He might have been scared."

"Hahahaha... a bunch of idiots and useless things. I thought they had great power behind them. They actually dared to openly provoke us."

Master Rong thought for a moment, then kicked the little follower aside and said to him, "Go find that old man for me, and tell him that the grain shop doesn't need to be opened anymore. Sell all the grain they have to our No. 1 Grain Shop, and don't have to go through the trouble of selling it yourself."

"Yes, brother, you are thoughtful and considerate, but what about the price?"

Young Master Rong suddenly showed a strange smile on his face and said, "Price? Let's see after we sell it. Will Young Master Rong give me money in advance?"

Those younger brothers all gave thumbs up to Master Rong.

At the same time, the smiles on the faces of the few people who were originally laughing wildly suddenly froze when they saw the scene in front of them.
