Chapter 1726: Chapter 626: The Female Lead Who Was Reversed (Part 15)_2

No, please!

Having suffered for half a lifetime, now finally living a good life, Eldest Sister-in-law He, no matter what, did not want to go back to the past.

Eldest Sister-in-law He was afraid, while He Youtian was filled with regret.

Alas, we shouldn’t have separated the family!

Damn it, just missed it by half a day. If those people from the Capital City had arrived half a day later, he, he would still be the eldest son of the He Family, the rightful elder uncle of Princess Liang.

Although He Youtian wasn’t very capable, he at least spent a few months outside.

He made contact with some Nobles from the County and Prefecture City, and his vision gradually broadened.

So, he knew how important it is to have a Noble from the Capital City supporting them, for businessmen like them.

Their "Doulailao" hot pot restaurant was running so smoothly because of the backing of Prince Liang’s Mansion.

But now, he vehemently insisted on separating the family, becoming two households with the second branch.

Fubao took his parents and the second branch to the Capital City, leaving only their first branch in the hometown.

Even if outsiders didn’t know about the family separation, they would understand something was up — the He Family’s first branch and second branch weren’t really close.

Oh no!

This situation was handled so —

He Youtian was extremely annoyed inside, rubbing his hands, pondering whether he should bow his head to his parents and put an end to this family separation.

But before he could swallow his pride and speak up, Granny Li shouted for them to get lost.

Having been called "Old Master He" for several months, He Youtian felt he was no longer a poor farmer to be trampled on, but a man of status and dignity.

Yet his own mother publicly told him to scram.

Seeing he wouldn’t leave, the old lady actually picked up a big broom and chased them out!

He Youtian felt utterly humiliated, and in a rage, still maintaining the facade of "Old Master He," he said bitterly, "Fine, we’ll leave!"

Hmph, so what if Fubao has become Princess Liang?

The Capital City is a thousand miles away from here, with the Emperor being far away, He Youtian didn’t believe that a woman like Fubao could extend her reach that far!

"Dear, are we really going to leave just like that?"

Eldest Sister-in-law He wasn’t willing to leave.

Though she didn’t understand the business outside, she knew the basic logic — since Fubao has become a Noble, their first branch should figure out how to hold on to this connection.

After all, they were relatives, originally one family, having the most advantageous conditions.

A mistake was made, but as long as they admit their fault and sincerely plead with Mother-in-law and the younger sister-in-law, this matter could possibly blow over.

"Let’s go! They’ve already chased us out with a big broom, why should we linger?"

He Youtian looked grim, feeling his dignity as "Old Master He" had been trampled.

He felt a blockage in his chest, gritting his teeth, saying, "Let’s go to the Prefecture City! We still have the hot pot restaurant, and Sanya’s secret recipe, I don’t believe that without the second branch, we, the first branch, will starve to death!"

But He Yingying shook her head, saying calmly, "It’s useless, Dad!"

In ancient times, where hierarchy is strict and power rules.

Without backing, He Yingying’s secret recipe couldn’t possibly lead to prosperity, it could very likely be the source of trouble.

As for the hot pot restaurant, hehe, if she hadn’t been holding up the banner of Prince Liang’s Mansion before, it would have been seized by others long ago.

Also, since Fubao sent people to the hometown, it certainly wasn’t just to take the grandparents and second branch to the Capital City.

The one who tagged Fubao with the "Demon" stigma was He Yingying, she didn’t believe Fubao didn’t resent her one bit.

Even if that person is a Great Kind Man, True Saint, unwilling to take revenge.

But, once the news of the He Family separation gets out, once the second branch is taken away, the world will know, the He Family’s first branch and second branch have become two households.

By then, some people might not openly seize things, but they might secretly make moves.

Common folk can’t fight against officials!

In modern times, ordinary folks can’t avoid being bullied, let alone in the strict hierarchical ancient times.

He Yingying was well aware that after today’s commotion, her hot pot restaurant wouldn’t stand a chance.

Not just the hot pot restaurant, anything lucrative she comes up with would only be making a wedding dress for others.

However, He Yingying would not concede easily.

"Isn’t it just about finding backing? Isn’t it just about oppressing with power? I can do it too!"

He Yingying clenched her palm hard to calm herself down as quickly as possible.

She might not be as "lucky" as the original host, but she had a "Golden Finger" of being familiar with the plot.

So, the battle between her and Fubao, the original female lead, wasn’t over.

In the end, it’s still uncertain who will outmaneuver whom!
