Chapter 608 Seriously and Jokingly
Because Ye Jiu had determined that he couldn’t be the main proprietor of the soap.
If the Liu Family were willing to easily let go of this profitable venture they had already consumed, the Empress wouldn’t have scolded her at the beginning.
However, reality always defied Ye Jiu’s expectations. Liu Yunqing nodded without hesitation, and his eyes carried a very serious expression, "The soap originally belonged to the Ye Family. It was the Liu Family’s greed that led to its acquisition through despicable means. The Liu Family has profited from the soap for quite a while now, and today, if the Ye Family wishes to reclaim it, the Liu Family will naturally hand it over willingly."
Now that Liu Yunqing had the backing of the Princess Consort, even if he had to return the soap to Ye Jiu, although there might be objections within the Liu Family, they could still be suppressed.
After all, the Liu Family had existed in Dongyue for hundreds of years,
although the profits from soap were not insignificant, for the entire Liu Family, even the loss of them wouldn’t cause any impact.
The Liu Family in Dongyue had long been a colossal entity, and with the protection of the Royal Family, they had contributed a great deal to the national treasury over the centuries. Otherwise, the Princess Consort would not have been able to marry the esteemed Prince as a merchant’s daughter.
The Princess Consort and the Liu Family depended on each other. As long as the Princess Consort said the word, the Liu Family would definitely not fall out with her over a mere soap recipe.
