“It’s said that this method of making white sugar was developed by a farming family in the Xuanhe Prefecture. Later on, they offered it to the Imperial Court. However, that farming family had always been making sugar and trading it. Therefore, the Imperial Court no longer found anyone to sell white sugar in the Xuanhe Prefecture.”

“A farmer?” Xin Zhiyuan’s voice was instantly filled with excitement.

Gu Yundong suddenly frowned. Were they talking about her family?

F*ck, she was actually targeted. Qin Wenzheng, you big idiot, you have to stop them.

Uncle Wei’s voice sounded again. “That’s right. Unfortunately, we can’t interfere with the Xuanhe Prefecture. That prefecture magistrate Dai is not an ordinary person.”

“Why can’t we? It’s not like we’re going to take root in the Xin family and do business. Let’s go to that farmer in secret and ask him to hand over the secret recipe for making sugar. We’ll give him some benefits later. Won’t everyone be happy?”

Uncle Wei said helplessly, “So what if we obtain the secret recipe to make sugar? Do you dare to make it in private and sell it? Now, the business of white sugar is controlled by the Imperial Court. If the Emperor finds out, the Xin family will not be in a good state.”

Xin Zhiyuan snorted coldly. Then, there was a hint of ruthlessness in his voice. “Who said that I would sell it in Wanqing Prefecture? Only the Duan family will take a fancy to a small prefectural city’s business.”

“Second Young Master, you mean…”

“If Dajin doesn’t allow us to sell it, what about Liu Country? What about Cheng Country? They must be coveting this white sugar, right?”

Uncle Wei took a deep breath. “Young Master, you… Do you know what you’re talking about? The Imperial Court has white sugar. They can hold their heads high in front of other countries. If others want this white sugar, they have to beg the current emperor. If you do business with them, it won’t be bad. The emperor will skin you alive.”

“If we don’t do business with them, are you really going to watch the Duan family step on our heads?”

“I… But that won’t do either. This isn’t the time of the late emperor. Even if we have any connections with those two countries, we won’t be discovered. The late emperor was muddle-headed. The current emperor is very shrewd.”

Xin Zhiyuan was a little unwilling. “It can be less…”

“That won’t do either. Second Young Master, you should give up on this idea as soon as possible,” Uncle Wei said. He probably realized that his tone was too cold, so he softened his tone. “Second Young Master, be more patient. Why don’t you wait for a while and see what the emperor thinks? If he really agrees to the Duan family, it won’t be too late for us to take action.”

Uncle Wei continued, “As for the white sugar, we can do as Second Young Master said and go to that farmer to get the secret recipe first. Leave this matter to me. You can wait for news in the residence.”

“Alright.” Xin Zhiyuan was still a little unwilling.

Uncle Wei sighed and reiterated, “Don’t contact those two countries. Wait for me to come back.”

“I know, I know.” Xin Zhiyuan was impatient. “Then, Uncle Wei, when are you leaving?”

“In a few days. I just returned to Wanqing Prefecture. I still have to tell your father about the situation.”

“Then you can stay in the residence for the next few days. How can this inn compare to the residence?”

“No need. It’s convenient to stay here. I’m used to it.”

That was the end of the conversation.

However, Gu Yundong’s expression was as dark as water. She had thought that the three scumbags from the Xin family had caused her father to become like this. It was enough for her to settle scores with them.

Unexpectedly, they had their eyes on her white sugar.

Trying to force them to hand over the secret recipe?

Gu Yundong sneered—In your dream! Dream!
