(Ask for monthly passes and subscriptions)_1 Feeling humiliated, the Jiang family became aggressively competitive in business. Both families specialized in silk, although they avoided direct public confrontation.

However, it seemed that silk prices had been driven up overnight.

“Miss, the price of silk has skyrocketed. Should we follow suit?” the butler inquired.

Honestly, last night’s thunderstorm alone was enough to make one’s heart flutter.

When he woke up, he found the price of silk climbing steadily within half a day, never having dreamt that silk would almost rival gold in value.

“The Sima family will not follow,” declared Sima Manli decisively, “Some money can be made, but some should not be pursued.”

If their Sima family joined the fray, the price of silk in Nan Du City would surely be driven even higher, which would not only prevent the lower market from profiting but would also crush the century-old reputation that their Sima family had built.

The butler understood this rationale, although it felt like a pity.

After the butler left, Qian the shopkeeper rushed back from outside, “Miss, it’s almost certain now, the silk price manipulation is the doing of the Liu family.”

“Who else could it be if not them,” Sima Manli clenched her teeth and said ferociously.

The Sima family was now in a perilous state, where every move Sima Manli made had to be cautious, as any misstep could spell doom.

The Jiang family was pressing hard, clearly intent on swallowing up the Sima family.

“Miss,” Qian the shopkeeper looked on with concern.

“I’m alright,” Sima Manli shook her head, indicating she was unharmed.

At that moment, someone arrived from below: “Shopkeeper, the silk transported from the four cities of Jiangnan has arrived.”

Qian the shopkeeper’s expression brightened, turning to Sima Manli with excitement, “With this batch, we have a chance to defeat the Jiang family.”

“To defeat them… is difficult, but we might be able to keep them in check for a while,” the worry on Sima Manli’s face had also dissipated somewhat.

She seemed to have already devised a strategy.

Seeing the miss like this, Qian the shopkeeper also breathed a sigh of relief.

“Master Xiao has already entered the ranks of Grandmasters.”

Upon hearing this, Sima Manli’s face held no surprise, but rather a gravity, “That’s faster than expected.”

After a pause, she said melancholically, “If he wants to leave, then we’ll part on good terms.”

“Yes, Miss.”

…

“Sir.”

Within the courtyard, Sima Yingjun fell silent for a while, then carefully said, “Why does it feel like you’re somehow different today, Sir?”
