Chapter 326 They are just being cunning, don’t blame me

Although Rong Jue may not be as good as you in academics, he is not less intelligent than you, he just likes to play and eat." Hua Lei sighed.

"Don't worry, Rong Jue went out to wash up at that time. He was not in the building and didn't hear what I said." Xiao Yuan said confidently.

Uh... this, have you figured it out? Hualei really doesn't know what to say?

Looking at Xiao Yuan, Hua Lei said, "Even if Rong Jue didn't hear it, there is a saying that goes, 'If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Grandfather Pei will know about what you did sooner or later. Do you think Grandfather Pei can't see through it and doesn't know what you are doing?"

"Sister, I'm not playing tricks on you, and I didn't say that on purpose. I was just answering the question Ziren asked me. What's wrong with that? Can I not answer a question my classmate asked me? That would be so unfriendly.

The teacher taught us to be friendly with our classmates and help each other. We should be open and honest with our classmates about their doubts. "Xiao Yuan said confidently.

Well, now it's Master's turn, and he's telling me everything he knows. Hualei glanced at Xiaoyuan and said nothing.

After looking at Hualei's expression, Xiaoyuan's voice became a little weaker, "At most, I can only be regarded as showing off a little bit. They are just smart and shrewd, so don't blame me."

At the end, Xiao Yuan's voice became louder. Yes, it was Yun Hai and Zhou Ziren who were so cunning. It was not his fault. Xiao Yuan quickly found an excuse for himself and felt more confident.

"Besides, sister, they came to us on their own initiative, not us, so it's not our responsibility. However, I think you can consider the advice of Sixth Brother Yunhai and expand the wool sweater business. This way you can earn more money, and you can also explain to Grandfather Pei.

After all, even if it is the Zhenbei Marquisate, no matter how much money it has, it may not be able to monopolize the raw wool, but with the Dingxi Marquisate and Uncle Zhou Ziren, the power will be even greater. This combination is simply power, money and connections, isn't that better?" Xiao Yuan gave another long speech.

What's going on? Are all the kids nowadays so smart? Yun Hai is, Zhou Ziren is, Xiao Yuan is even more so. Even the playful and food-loving Rong Jue is also a clever kid.

"Oh, forget it, I get it. This is how things have come to this. I'll think about what to do. But don't do this again in the future. If you have any ideas, discuss them with me first and we'll decide together before we do it. Do you understand?" Hua Lei picked up the shelf. Xiao Yuan looked at Hua Lei and nodded obediently.

Hua Lei looked at Xiao Yuan's obedient expression, but she was a little suspicious. After a pause, she asked in a low voice, "Xiao Yuan, do you dislike Grandfather Pei? What you did is already considered to be on guard against Grandfather Pei, right?"

"Sister, how could I? I've already told you, I didn't mean it. It was Yunhai and Zhou Ziren and the others..." Xiaoyuan shouted.

"Don't talk about other things. You think you did it perfectly, but I can feel it. Can't Grandfather Pei feel it?

The reason you did this is because you don't trust the Marquis' Mansion and Grandfather Pei. You said that I didn't give the wine yeast formula because I wanted to take the initiative, and you are right. But you also need to know that if I am willing to give it, I can give it to you at any time. The initiative is in my hands.

However, the business of making wool sweaters is different from the business of making wine. Once you let others participate, they will definitely sign a contract. As you said, this business is not something that will last for one or two years. During the contract period, it is unlikely that they will be allowed to withdraw easily.

Even if the contract expires, if they are making good money and there are no major conflicts between them, it is unlikely that they will be kicked out, right? Therefore, the initiative is no longer in our hands.

You let them join in order to guarantee my right to speak, but from Grandfather Pei's perspective, aren't you taking away his right to speak in disguise? Do you think he won't think of this?

Xiaoyuan, we want to provide ourselves with an extra layer of protection, that's right. However, you also have to think about whether you still have the initiative in the future. If you do, then it's fine, we can do it with confidence.

But if you're not here, then you have to weigh the pros and cons and compare which is more important, right? You didn't discuss this with me this time, and you did this rashly, dragging Dingxi Marquis Mansion and Uncle Zhou Ziren into it, which is very inappropriate. I'm in a dilemma now."

Hua Lei paused, looked at Xiao Yuan, and continued to reason with him.

"Also, we can't erase what we have already gained. During the past three years, we have been staying at the Marquis' Mansion. Grandmother Pei and Grandfather Pei have really treated us well. It can be said that Grandfather Pei and Grandmother Pei are our benefactors.

Even Mr. Pei should be considered your benefactor, right? I know you are smart and can do many things, but many things cannot be done just by being smart. Just like flying a kite, no matter how exquisite and beautiful you make the kite, it cannot fly into the sky without wind.

You and I are like kites. The help from the Hou Mansion is the wind we need. Do you understand? However, when others send you to the sky, if you take it for granted, that is wrong. If you cross the river and burn the bridge, and are ungrateful, that is even more wrong, and you will easily fall down, do you understand?

Also, in the past three years, the business of our farm and shop has also been supported by the Marquis' Mansion. Otherwise, do you think that no matter how capable I am, I can protect so many roast ducks, marinated meats, sausages and other recipes? Can I sell all the down vests and the output of Yuanying Manor to Mobei? How can we have so many silver notes in our hands now?

No, three years ago, I took you to live in the Marquis' Mansion because I wanted to take advantage of the power of the Marquis' Mansion. At that time, we had just arrived in Shangjing City, had no power or influence, and lived in Qingyun Lane. Anyone who had a little power could come and crush us.

During these three years, we stayed at the Marquis' Mansion. Although the two ladies were not very friendly to us, they never deliberately made things difficult for us, right? And because the Marquis' Mansion stood behind us and supported us, and with our own efforts, we have achieved what we have now, so we should be grateful.

Although my sister and I have moved out now, I have just grown up and you are still a minor, so there is not much you can do. Don't think that we have become more powerful now that we have moved out. Even now, the Marquis' Mansion is like an invisible barrier that is protecting us, do you understand?"
