Chapter 174: Liu Sichun's Struggle
"Second brother, times have changed. With only this much money, we naturally need to be careful and calculate our expenses." Liu Sichun frowned slightly and patiently explained.
"How can you still say that?"
"What kind of life our Liu family used to live, and what kind of life we are living now?"
“The other day, I saw a lovely enameled snuff bottle that I couldn't afford. You know what kind of look the shopkeeper gave me? A few months ago, whenever I walked in, they all fawned over me like lapdogs. But it was all your bad ideas! Now my fortune is gone, and I'm looked down upon everywhere I go!”
The young man grew more and more excited as he spoke, his voice rising higher and higher.
A fellow tribesman beside him tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Second Master, please don't say any more."
The young man shook his hand away and said, "What are you pulling me for? I've been holding these words in for ages, just dying to say them."
Let him speak!
Liu Sichun let out a sharp shout, her eyes wide with anger. She sat down on the grand master's chair, radiating power and dominance. With a clap of her hands on the armrest, she said: "Liu Sidar, you have been subtly insulting me all this time. You have always endured it silently, but today, I can't take it anymore, and neither can you. Speak your mind!"
Liu Sida, facing Liu Sicun who was as strong and imposing as a queen, gasped for breath. Before he even started, he had already lost three points of confidence.
He knows his sister's methods.
It's fine if he complains a bit, but he wouldn't dare to actually slam the table and throw a tantrum.
After waiting for a moment and seeing Liu Sidar remained silent, Liu Sicun let out a cold snort and said: “You won’t say it, will you? I’ll say it for you then.”
"It's not just you, many people feel dissatisfied with me, a young woman, the youngest daughter of the Liu family, taking power. If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raising his sword against the three major merchants recently, disrupting your plans, I'm afraid you would have already started to remove me from my position."
"But you bunch of people who eat with a bowl and curse after putting down chopsticks, don't you ever think about it? When our father passed away, the Liu family was in chaos. Our business was under attack by competitors, and at its worst, we were only one step away from extinction."
"Who pulled the Liu family back from the brink of death, allowing you to continue living comfortably? Who managed the family business so well, turning losses into profits?"
Liu Sichun's eyes were full of sternness. For some reason, she couldn't help but think of the crown prince who had waved his arms and shouted orders in the Xizheng Hall at this moment.
He smiled, and no one dared to frown.
He kept silent, and no one dared to be noisy.
He spoke in a low voice, but every word he uttered resonated deeply with those who listened. They would hear him and remember his words long after he was gone.
Such bearing and grace are truly befitting of a phoenix among humans.
Subconsciously, Liu Sichun began to mimic Li Chen's every move and manner of speaking.
She slowed her pace of speech and lowered her volume, but her tone remained unwavering. Every word was enunciated with care, each syllable delivered deliberately, mimicking the rhythm of Li Chen's instructions.
“Had I not intervened, the Liu family would have met the same fate as the Chen and Hu families. You all saw what happened to them: their entire clan, hundreds of people, were eradicated. Their homes were plundered, and they were marched to the marketplace, where they were beheaded one by one.”
"If it weren't for me, that day at the vegetable market you wouldn't have escaped the blood flowing like a river!"
