"So, Aunt and our Cao Family, involving so early in this..." Cao Li Na shared her concerns, "Wouldn’t this pose a danger to the family?"
"No worry." Cao Youqing answered confidently, "I originated from the sacred land, which has nothing to do with our family. Moreover, our old ancestor has already made arrangents."
"Besides, the prince of our family is an extraordinarily talented individual. If he is willing to lend his support, how could we not have a high chance of winning?" Cao Youqing’s eyes flashed with infatuation and fervor, "We just need to carry out the plan step by step. Whether you and Xuerui can control the Qian family is but a minor detail in our grand sche.
Li Na, I proposed this plan for both you and your son’s sake."
"Don’t disappoint !"
Cao Li Na was startled. She suddenly understood, the chessboard played by her grand aunt and her cohorts was far too grand. Losing the Qian Family’s support would rely be their loss and nothing more, t with re disappointnt at best.
But specifically for herself and her son, their future control over Qian Family was everything. She refused to be a re pawn in an arranged marriage, destined to be sidelined after the true heir, Qian Xuehan, takes over.
She also refused to let her son beco rely one of the many elders of the Qian family in the future.
"Aunt, I understand." Cao Li Na’s eyes flashed with a ruthless light, "As long as you and the prince are willing to lend strong support to Xuerui, I, as a mother, will pave his way!"
Cao Youqing looked at Cao Li Na with admiration: "You truly live up to the na of Cao’s female descendant, you have the sa spirit as our old ancestor. Entering the ga early indeed involves great risk, but it also ans greater rewards. Hopefully, under Xuerui’s control, Qian Family will be able to step forward more. As for support, won’t I be there to be just to you and Xuerui?"
"Thank you for your guidance, aunt." Cao Li Na was delighted, she bowed and left, her heart burning with ambition.

The scene switched back to Longzuo County Town.
Danfang of Tian Yuan.
This was the most renowned alchemist shop in Longzuo County, rumored to have a deep and unfathomable background.
A lot of major events had recently taken place in Longzuo County, one of which was Master Danding being hired as a tribute to the Tian Yuan Danfang, naturally sparking a whirlwind of controversy and discussion.
The reason Master Danding himself gave for this was that he needed to instruct his newly accepted disciple and was leveraging the environnt of Tian Yuan Danfang.
Moreover.
The hot topic currently in Longzuo County was the Spirit Bird Flying Carriage from the branch of Keep Achieving Comrcial Firm. An ordinary person could simply spend a small amount of Qian Gold to enjoy the high-status privilege of using the flying carriage that was originally only available to the core of the Academic Palace and the children of prominent families.
But most people didn’t know that Keep Achieving Comrcial Firm and Qian’s Comrcial Firm have already started competing clandestinely.
Within the Tian Yuan Danfang.
Handso Wang Shouye and the prosperous-looking Qian Xuefu were staring each other down.
"Shouye, I never thought..." Qian Xuefu said with a sigh, "I thought that we wouldn’t fall out because of family business competition and friction. But who knew, we would still end up turning hostile to each other. Destiny is unpredictable, it toys with people."
"Uh..." Wang Shouye looked innocent, "When did we beco enemies? Senior brother..."
"Don’t call senior brother!" Qian Xuefu said aggrieved: "If you still consider your senior brother, you would know how much I admire Sister Gu, and yet you still went to have tea and chatted with her about philosophy and current affairs."
"Senior brother, I’ve been wronged," exclaid Wang Shouye, "We were rely discussing family business. And I already have a wife."
Qian Xuefu perked up instantly; grabbing Wang Shouye, he said: "Brothers will be brothers. Why should we have a falling out over small matters? By the way, what did you and Sister Gu talk about?"
"Business!" Wang Shouye shook his head, "But, Sister Gu seems to be quite interested in my fourth brother."
"What?" Qian Xuefu reeled back in shock.
