 Chapter 347: Foresight

Ye Muyu listened at the door of the study for a while, hesitated, and decided not to go in to protect them. With a caring mother and strict father, each had their own responsibilities and the child's problems wouldn't be too significant.


She walked from the study to the courtyard.


Ye Muyu asked Hu Shi to pick some vegetables.


Chu Ziluo remembered the promise she made in the carriage in the afternoon, so she hurriedly went out to help pick vegetables.


Ye Muyu went into the kitchen and peeled a few peaches.


She brought them into the study for the father and son to taste.


The fresh peaches were crisp and sweet, despite their slightly ugly appearance.


While eating peaches, Ye Muyu remembered the incident where the wealthy merchant wanted to buy the recipe for Soft Fragrance Cake. "Have you met Third Young Master yet? Does he know about the matter of buying the recipe?"


In the end, this matter was mainly related to Xie Yu.


If someone snatched away business and that person wasn't someone to be trifled with, the recipe would have to be shared.


However, with the right approach, they might even gain benefits from the situation.


Ye Muyu was increasingly aware of the importance of information at this moment.


She didn't even know who wanted to buy the recipe. Not to mention how to benefit from this situation.


Chu Heng nodded, "It has been notified. Xie Yu indeed didn't know about this matter before. It was deliberately kept secret from the Xie family members by the people of the Qin family."


"However, the Xie family has a background in Nanchang County that the Qin family can't compare to. The main reason is that Xie Yu has been busy with exams these days and doesn't have time to manage business matters."


"Moreover, the Xie family's style has always been independent and autonomous, especially Xie Yu the only son who can ascend to an official position. Although he is spoiled by the family, he doesn't interfere in external matters and never lends a helping hand."


"In other words, even if the elder brothers of Xie Yu knew about this news, they wouldn't inform Xie Yu unless it was a matter of life and death?" Ye Muyu couldn't help sighing. The education in the Xie family was no wonder they hadn't produced any idle, extravagant, and dissolute scions.


Chu Heng said, "Yes, the Eldest and Second Young Masters of the Xie family are both business geniuses. They have spies everywhere and had already discovered this matter long ago. As long as it's not a matter of life and death, they won't interfere."


"No wonder. I was wondering how the Xie family's businesses in the town could be kept secret from other shopkeepers. It turns out to be like this." Ye Muyu felt a little relieved. After all, judging from this, the Xie family also had considerable strength.


They could be considered local tyrants.


Thinking of the Qin family mentioned by Chu Heng, Ye Muyu continued to ask "Is the Qin family a force from the capital?"


"Yes, the Qin family is a second-tier force in the capital. Looking back three generations, they have officials in the court. Now, they have quite a few businesses in the capital and their development has been good in recent years." Chu Heng remained calm.


"Are you implying that the Qin family is just a business family and only maintains good relations with officials in the capital?" Ye Muyu was a little surprised. She originally thought that the Qin family had officials as their backing.


Of course, Ye Muyu didn't underestimate the Qin family. However, in comparison, the Qin family seemed to be somewhat declining even with their wealth. After all, without strength, no matter how much money one had, it couldn't be preserved for many generations.


A family that lacked successors who were educated wouldn't last long.


Now that she thought about it, the Xie family truly had foresight.


"Yes."


"So you don't need to worry. Since Xie Yu already knows, there will be follow-up actions. People from the Qin family won't come. Those who can build such a large family business aren't fools, they're all shrewd and won't offend others without reason." Chu Heng explained.


At this point, Chu Jin had already finished eating the peaches.


He wiped his hands on the cloth next to the desk, raised his head, and looked at his parents standing by the window.
