"If you're not capable, don't scheme against others!" Liu Yun sneered. "Look at the harm you've caused me!"

No damage whatsoever!

Liu Yun remained the principal wife of Prince Ming, and still Lady Liu's most beloved child.

On the contrary, she...

Liu Jing cried uncontrollably.

She did all that, and yet this is how she ended up...

If only I had known...

I knew she would make the same choice and become Ming Wang's woman.

However, she would not reveal Liu Yun's background, but would secretly tell the Qin family.

The Qin family will definitely not fully support Liu Yun anymore, and at that time, it will be uncertain who will emerge victorious.

pity……

Liu Tong and Liu Xin made an excuse to leave the Liu residence.

Liu Xin is going to inspect her business.

Her business has grown so much that it has expanded to the border regions, and now she can be said to be incredibly wealthy.

However, she is the boss behind the scenes, and apart from her confidants, no one knows the boss's true identity.

Every time Liu Xin inspected the business, he would change into men's clothing and apply makeup according to Liu Tong's instructions, making him look like a thin young man.

She founded a caravan.

To ensure the safety of caravans traveling, guards are still necessary.

Using this as a pretext, Liu Xin cultivated a considerable amount of combat power.

But even combined, they only numbered a thousand, insufficient to contend with the emperor's army.

Fortunately, Liu Xin and Prince Ping were collaborators.

King Ping raised a private army in his territory and bribed many of the generals in the army.

Although King Ping used Liu Xin and knew that she was intelligent and capable, he looked down on her because of her gender and did not treat her with the same wariness he showed to other men.

Liu Xin took advantage of his contempt to find his military tally and then made a copy of it.

Liu Xin had her trusted confidant take over the Ping King's private army with a military tally that was indistinguishable from the real thing.

Now, that private army appears to be loyal to Prince Ping, but in reality, they are Liu Xin's men.

Some of the generals that King Ping had bribed also came under Liu Xin's control.

If someone can be bought off once, they can be bought off a second time.

Liu Xin offered them more than the Prince of Ping offered, so of course they chose Liu Xin.

Liu Tong followed Liu Xin, her face also covered in makeup.

The two of them look so different that even Liu's mother wouldn't recognize them, let alone Liu Ying, who isn't very familiar with them.

Liu Ying wore a bamboo hat with a black veil hanging down her head and was dressed in men's clothing, thinking that others would not recognize her.

However, Liu Tong and Liu Xin's senses were far more acute than those of ordinary people. Through the black veil, they could clearly see the true face under the bamboo hat and naturally recognized Liu Ying.

Seeing Liu Ying sneakily enter a house, the curious siblings used their light-footed skills to climb onto the roof and sit on Liu Ying's head.

As Liu Ying sat down, everyone in the room bowed to her, calling her "Holy Maiden!"

Liu Tong and Liu Xin looked at each other in bewilderment.

I know Liu Ying is no ordinary person, but what's the deal with this Holy Maiden?

As a successful businessman, it is essential to have a grasp of information from all over the country.

According to the information Liu Xin obtained, the only one who could be called a saintess was the one from the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect's headquarters were in Jiangnan, and it wielded considerable power, but it was suppressed by the late emperor with all its might, and the White Lotus Sect was almost wiped out.

Unexpectedly, it has resurfaced and even come to the capital to make moves.

Wu County, where Liu Ying lived, was a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Jiangnan. How could she have joined the White Lotus Sect and become its holy maiden?
The siblings' doubts grew, and they couldn't find answers just by listening to Liu Ying's conversation with her subordinates.

However, the two of them couldn't ask Liu Ying directly.

As for those few members of the White Lotus Sect, let's just leave them be; we can't alert them.

After the two left quietly, Liu Xin immediately contacted her subordinates and ordered them to investigate the White Lotus Sect, especially information about their Holy Maiden.

At present, there is very little information about the White Lotus Sect. Liu Xin's subordinates have spent a lot of effort to gather information about them.

Information about the saintess is even scarcer.

The White Lotus sect doesn't have many members right now. The country is peaceful and prosperous, and the people are living quite well, so they have no intention of rebelling.

The ideology of the White Lotus sect is no longer popular.

Moreover, more than 30 years ago, the imperial court cracked down on the White Lotus Sect in a fierce manner, and the people knew that the White Lotus Sect was an evil cult. How could they dare to join the White Lotus Sect?
The people of the White Lotus Sect now are remnants of the old White Lotus Sect and their children.

The Holy Maiden is the actual ruler of the White Lotus Sect, and is said to be the biological daughter of the previous leader.

Then there is no more.

There's only this one sentence about the saintess.

Liu Xin: "Brother, which one do you think is the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Uncle or Aunt?"

Liu Tong was speechless: "Sister, if they are the leaders of the White Lotus Sect, then wouldn't we be members of the White Lotus Sect?"

Liu Xin smiled sheepishly and said, "If Liu Ying were the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, then she wouldn't be a girl from the Liu family."

Liu Tong: "But she looks so much like my grandmother, so she must be related to our family!"

Liu Xin thought so too. She sighed, "We have to figure out what the relationship is between the Liu family and Liu Ying. We have to sever that relationship."

Liu Xin: "The Liu family are merely victims deceived by the White Lotus Sect!"

Liu Tong: "Of course."

Liu Tong: "Leave this matter to me. I will personally go to Jiangnan and Wuxian."

Liu Xin: "What about your mother? She won't agree to let you leave Beijing."

Liu Tong: "I'll make her agree."

Liu Tong's reason to his mother was that there was a former colleague of his father in Jiangnan who had something left behind by his father, and Liu Tong needed to go and retrieve it.

Mother Liu: "Just send a servant."

Liu Tong: "Lord Li is the Governor of Jiangnan, a position of great power and influence. Sending only a servant is disrespectful to Lord Li. Sending someone else would offend him."

Liu's mother: "This..."

Having no other choice, Liu's mother had to agree to let Liu go to Jiangnan.

For her son's safety, Liu's mother wanted to borrow people from Madam Liu to protect Liu Dong.

Liu Xin: "Mother, since they are not servants of our branch of the family, they certainly won't protect my brother wholeheartedly. Rather than owing Aunt a favor, we should find a reputable security escort agency to hire more bodyguards for my brother."

Liu Tong nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes! Mother, I heard that Qingfeng Escort Agency has the best reputation. All the goods they escort are delivered safely to their destinations, with a 100% mission completion rate. Let's ask the people from Qingfeng Escort Agency."

This Qingfeng Escort Agency is Liu Xin's business, and the chief escort is someone Liu Xin personally rescued.

The chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) was therefore absolutely loyal to Liu Xin. If Liu Xin wanted him dead, he would slit his own throat without batting an eye.

Liu Xin taught the chief镖头 (chief镖头) some martial arts. Although they were external martial arts, they were external martial arts from the martial arts world, and were much stronger than the martial arts practiced by the so-called heroes of the Jianghu in this world.

The chief镖头's strength is third in the world, after Liu Dong and Liu Xin! (End of Chapter)
