This slap, Liu Sichun truly was furious and slapped with anger.

Liu Sida's still fair and tender face immediately swelled up, becoming red all over.

Liu Sidda was also dumbfounded. He covered his face, widened his eyes in disbelief and stared at Liu Sicun for a long time before he reacted, roaring: "You hit me! You dare to hit me! I'm your second brother, the second master of the Liu family, you dare to hit me! Do you still have any respect"

"What does rank mean!"

Liu Sichun gritted his teeth in anger and shouted, "I'm the one in charge here. If we're talking about rank, I'm superior to you. What if I hit you"

As the second older brother, you sold your own sister for just two thousand taels of silver. Should you be beaten or not

"As a member of the Liu family, you've actually joined forces with outsiders to scheme against the head of the household. Should I beat you or not"

Liu Sichun's face was as cold as frost, and she said, "This slap wasn't even hard enough!"

"Enter!"

As soon as Liu Sichun spoke, the door creaked open and several burly servants strode in.

The Liu family is in business and often travels throughout the country. It's inevitable that they carry a lot of money with them, so most of the servants they employ are essentially bodyguards or thugs. Each one has some martial arts skills.

"Tie Liu Sida up and keep him in your own courtyard. Nobody is allowed to let him out without my say-so!"

Liu Sida struggled and cursed furiously.

After all, he was the second master of the Liu family. Those servants dared not use excessive force, so the situation came to a stalemate.

Liu Sichun was terribly upset. She turned her head and said to the elder, "Third Uncle, is there still a way to raise two thousand taels of silver"

The elder paused for a moment, understanding Liu Sichun's meaning. After some deliberation, he said: "If we were to sell some items, we could probably scrape together the sum. However, the problem is that Lord Zhou has a rather bad temper. If we were to bluntly refuse and return his money directly, I fear it would only anger him."

Liu Sichun gritted her teeth and said, "What else can we do I can't really marry him as a concubine."

The old man let out a soft sigh. As the elder of the Liu family, he knew how difficult things were for Liu Sichun.

"My dear, don't worry too much. If you really can't do it, why not ask the Crown Prince for help If he agrees, then everything will be alright."

Liu Sichun's mind flashed with Li Chen's enigmatic face. If she went all out to find the prince to settle this, Liu Sichun was confident that she could easily get rid of Zhou, but if Zhou was a wolf in sheep's clothing, then the prince was a true tiger. Wasn't she just walking into his den...

She bit her lip, a sense of powerlessness washing over her.

She originally thought that as long as she worked hard enough, even as a woman, she could achieve great things and would never be weaker than any man.

She has been through so much, and she increasingly feels the weight of her journey. Wanting to build a successful career, she faces countless obstacles from all sides, leaving her feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.

And just at that moment, a commotion came from outside.

Just then, the door to the room swung open. A servant from the Liu household burst in, panting and pointing outside. "Master," he gasped, "The Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei are here! There are many Jinyiwei outside!"

Hearing the arrival of a large contingent of Jinyiwei, the Liu family's faces changed dramatically. Each one of them remembered the terror of that night in the capital when three major grain merchants were wiped out, leaving only the Liu family clinging to survival while the Hu and Chen families vanished into thin air.

"Don't panic, I'll go take a look!" Liu Sichun comforted the tribe members and immediately planned to go out and see what was going on.

Before she could even step out of the house, a tall figure appeared at the door. He boomed with a laugh, "I am General Chen Tong, I've come to meet Liu, the headman." hand. Now that this old minister wants to do something on his own, where is the wrongdoing”"If it weren't for the Prince's relentless pressure, how could this old minister have dared to take such a g...
