Mu Jinyuan had been in secret contact with Yuniang, and not merely to guard against Lu Shutong; after all, now that Yuanji Silk was well-known far and wide, it was inevitable that it would attract attention. If people learned that she was the one who had built Yuanji from the ground up, she would undoubtedly be pushed back into the center of a whirlpool. Yuanji had become a piece of fatty meat, and everyone wanted a bite.
However, unless there was an emergency, Xiuyun would never have come directly to the State Protector Estate to find her. Mu Jinyuan immediately dismissed the other servants in the room, leaving only Zizhu and Baiguo.
"Just a moment ago, Lu Shutong suddenly brought people to Yuanji," Xiuyun said, breathless. "She was holding Yuniang’s deed of sale, claiming that Yuniang is a slave of the Lu Family. She dragged her away on the spot, shouting that since the shop belonged to Yuniang, it was now the property of the Lu Family, and she demanded to take over the business. Lu Shutong has stationed guards outside every branch of Yuanji. The business is in chaos, and everything has been thrown into disarray."
