Countermeasures
"Supporting a conspirator whose origin and name is unknown and hidden in the darkness to seize the throne will eventually lead to chaos in the world and the collapse of the finally stable Qi. Is it really good for our Li family? The Li family's business is mostly tea and timber. In its heyday,
What use are these things for consumption in troubled times? Maybe the Li family will disappear."
Li Qingyuan picked up the tea and took a sip.
"This matter has always been presided over by the head of the family, Li Chengji. To be honest, we are all just cooperating. In the past twenty years, he has been basically right, so no one has said much. We can mobilize him as he asks.
"Li Chengqi said with a frown.
"There are huge problems here. Is he really unable to see these problems? How could he leave so happily today?" Li Chengqi continued.
"We can't figure this out. This is his business. What we want to discuss is how to get out of the current predicament. Head of the family, you are now the new head of the Li family. What do you think we should do about this matter?" Li Chengya had already started calling Li Qingyuan directly.
Rise up for the master of the house.
"Qingyuan, just tell us what we should do." Li Chengxiang put his hands on the table and looked at Li Qingyuan.
The other few people didn't speak, but everyone's expressions were extremely serious.
They were able to support Li Qingyuan because, on the one hand, their pain points were caught by Li Qingyuan, and on the other hand, it was true that the Li family was at a critical stage. If Li Chengji continued to work, the Li family would be very close to destruction.
"Since everyone is willing to host me, I have also made a promise to make the Li family better, and this crisis will naturally be solved."
Li Qingyuan said: "It is actually not difficult to solve the Li family's problem. All we need to do is cooperate with the imperial court. I have already done this."
"The imperial court has given us very good conditions. As long as we fight back, we can become an imperial merchant, and can join the World Business Alliance. We will not be limited to Sixiang City, but will go global. In the future, we may even surpass the four major families in Jiangnan."
"We will discuss the specific situation further."
"Okay, let's discuss what to do next."
The six elders and Li Qingyuan began to discuss specific terms.
"It's not good, it's not good, ma'am"
A maid in silk clothes opened the courtyard door in panic and rushed into the room.
Ms. Shen was leaning on the reclining chair. One maid raised her hand to squeeze her shoulders, and another maid was rubbing her back. She closed her eyes and suddenly opened them.
"Caiwei, why are you so flustered? How did I teach you before?" Shen scolded unhappily.
"Madam, madam, something really big has happened." The maid Caiwei who broke in first turned pale, and then began to sweat on her forehead and her lips began to turn purple. This was a reaction of extreme fear.
"What's the big deal? Tell me." Shen's voice became more and more gloomy. If the maid Caiwei couldn't come up with a reason, she would definitely punish Caiwei severely for today's incident.
Otherwise, how can the majesty of the eldest lady be demonstrated?
Shen's anger is not as strong as usual. She usually relaxes and rests her whole body during massage. At this time, she does not allow others to interfere with her life.
"Madam, the head of the family has abdicated." Caiwei said, breathing heavily.
"What? Li Chengji abdicated? How is this possible?" Mrs. Shen suddenly stood up, causing the maid who was squeezing her feet to slip and fall to the ground unprepared.
However, Shen didn't have time to pay attention, but fixed her eyes on Cai Wei.
"I have received reliable news that the head of the family has been squeezed out by the six elders and has given up his position as the head of the family." After saying this in one breath, Caiwei continued: "The person who will take over as the next head of the family is the second young master!"
"Second Young Master? Are you talking about Li Qingyuan?" Shen said in surprise.
"Yes, that's him. Not many people in the compound know about it yet. Madam, what should we do?" Caiwei pursed her lips, cold sweat was flowing on her forehead, and she was very nervous.
"Get dressed, let's go, and go confirm the news." Shen quickly calmed herself down. After all, he is a big shot who has seen the world, and his mental quality is better than that of ordinary people.
The maid who had been massaging next to her hurried forward, picked up the clothes on the shelf, and put them on for Shen one by one.
After getting dressed, Ms. Shen didn't say much, just waved her hand and walked outside.
She was going to find someone, a housekeeper from the Li Mansion.
In the other courtyard, she met the housekeeper. The reason why she saw her so quickly was because the housekeeper had already been waiting here.
"Madam, something serious has happened." The housekeeper's surname is also Li, but he was given the surname by the Li family. He is a son adopted by the Li family.
As soon as they met, he told the whole story directly: "Madam, I know this news is hard to believe, but it is true. Elder Liu Da joined forces at the elders' meeting, and the head of the family left angrily on the spot, and said he would abdicate.
In this way, the position of head of the family has successfully fallen on Li Qingyuan."
"Are you sure it's not a conspiracy by some elder to seize the throne? That little beast Li Qingyuan is just a puppet!" Shen said with a sneer.
How could she think highly of Li Qingyuan?
"This cannot be confirmed. After the head of the family left, the elders' hall was closed. The elders have been meeting inside, and no one dared to approach. So for such a long time, no one in the Li family knew what happened." Butler Li himself was confused.
Fog, but this news is indeed extremely detrimental to the Shen family.
"Send someone to continue watching outside. If there is any sign of trouble, tell me as soon as possible. Also, go to the head of the family, Li Chengji, in person, bring me a message, and ask him what's going on." Ms. Shen immediately said
reacted.
"Yes, ma'am, I'll do it right away." Butler Li is a capable person with quick hands and feet, quick mind, and is well-educated. He is considered to be Shen's confidant in the Li family.
This incident is full of weirdness from beginning to end. Under the heavy fog, if Shen wants to make a difference, he must first figure out what happened. To figure out what happened, the first person to bear the brunt is of course the head of the family, Li Chengji.
However, now, she has been separated from Li Chengji for a long time. Li Chengji has come to see her very rarely in the past two years, not even twice a year.
Therefore, she did not plan to go find Li Chengji herself, so she sent Butler Li to go there.
After giving these instructions, Mrs. Shen returned to the courtyard.
She was not waiting in the yard, but was doing another thing, which was packing her small luggage.
A long time ago, she had found an escape route for herself. Once there was danger, she would go south with the wealth at her disposal, and the protector of the Black Lotus Sect was her escape route.
