Yang Zhenli informed Yang Ruxin of the Meng Family's merchant ships suffering pirate attacks, with two hijacked and two sunk, leaving only one survivor and dooming the family for offending the Crown Prince. Yang Ruxin confirmed the news with Du Chengxiu, who agreed the Meng Family is finished and anticipated the Du Family as the next target. When Du Chengxiu declined reclaiming the Du Family, content with their current life, Yang Ruxin expressed her interest in their industries.

“Madam, are you implying…” Du Chengxiu's eyes abruptly widened in shock.

“The Du Family possesses merchant ships and docks in Quanzhou, along with numerous shops and even a Mulberry Garden. It would be such a shame for all these to simply end up in someone else's possession…”

Du Chengxiu stared intently at Yang Ruxin, paused for a moment, then smacked his thigh hard: “Xinxin, just tell us what you plan to do, and we'll follow your lead. My son and I will give it everything we've got.”

“From the day I purchased you, I've never seen you as mere servants.” Yang Ruxin remarked while setting two Selling Covenants on the table. “Yunpeng and Du Man received theirs upon marriage, and these belong to you and Aunt Ye.”

“What are you getting at?” Du Chengxiu furrowed his brow faintly.

“My point is, you must seize back the Du Family assets on your own.” Yang Ruxin grinned. “I'll supply the funds to assist, but it won't be without cost.” With that, she pivoted and passed over two documents. “Head home, talk it over with Aunt Ye and Brother Yunpeng. If you're on board, then sign them.”

Du Chengxiu peeked at the contract, his nose suddenly souring as tears threatened to spill. Xinxin was obviously aiding them; the Du Family properties no longer tied to them anyway, so even reclaiming them, she could claim full ownership, yet now…

“I can't hand over Little Qingqing’s Selling Covenant just yet—she hasn't earned her freedom. Upon her return, she'll serve me two more years before release. I won't train her without compensation, right?” Yang Ruxin appeared oblivious to Du Chengxiu’s misty eyes. “Get going quickly; I'm eager for your reply.”

With reddened eyes, Du Chengxiu stepped out and promptly gathered his wife, son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and son-in-law to share Yang Ruxin’s proposal.

“Father, I'll follow your lead.” Du Yunpeng felt thrilled inside. He harbored grudges against the Du Family's second and third branches. Before, he lacked the means, but now with power at hand, he yearned to reclaim their rightful share.

“I understand your feelings, son.” Du Chengxiu grinned. “Xinxin likely does too. If you're set on it, then proceed.” He pulled out an agreement. “Madam handed this over—clearly prepared in advance. Sign if you're ready, and move forward.”

Du Man and Shangguan Fei voiced strong backing for Du Chengxiu and Du Yunpeng’s choice.

Du Yunpeng snatched it, skimmed the contents, and jolted in astonishment, lifting his gaze: “Fifty percent? Thirty years?”

Du Chengxiu affirmed with a nod: “Xinxin means that within thirty years, you'll secure the Du Family's position. Then, she'll withdraw completely, but the Du and Yang Families will remain kin and allies eternally. Naturally, if mismanagement occurs by then, proving your inadequacy, she'll intervene and fold the Du assets into the Yang Family.”

“These are fortunes from our previous lives' good deeds.” Aunt Ye sniffed emotionally.

Du Yunpeng's eyes brimmed with tears as well.

“But Father, leaving Madam behind pains me.” Du Juan bit her lip, tears streaming down. After years of wandering with her dad, Madam had brought her true joy, and now facing real separation left her heart aching with emptiness.

“We're heading to Quanzhou for Madam's sake.” Du Yunpeng clasped his wife's hand. “We'll build a flawless intelligence network there and generate more silver, letting Madam enjoy greater dividends—how perfect is that?”
