237: Storage space

Lu An'an nodded, answering Feng Ming's question.

Feng Ming's gaze drifted back and forth between Hua Dieer and Madam Hua several times, confirming his guess: Hua Dieer was not an unfavored Young Miss at all, but a person of significant status.

Moreover, she was a direct descendant of Madam Hua, likely her biological granddaughter.

"Husband, let's go up and talk."

Although the storage ring contained an independent space, its sky remained consistent with the outside world.

At this moment, the moonlight poured down, giving the pavilion a unique ambiance.

Up in the pavilion.

Feng Ming bowed, "This junior Feng Ming of the Feng Family greets Madam Hua."

The other party waved her hand, "Your grandfather should have told you about my relationship with your maternal grandmother, so by seniority, you should call me Grandma Hua."

Feng Ming quickly smiled and said, "To be honest, we just spoke of it not long ago, but this junior was afraid of being presumptuous with Grandma Hua!"

Madam Hua smiled and waved her hand, signaling Feng Ming to sit down and talk.

Lu An'an was very well-behaved, sitting to the side and pouring tea for the two, while Hua Dieer sat idly on one side, eating the pastries on the table.

Madam Hua smiled and said, "Anan is now my personal Disciple, you should know that, right?"

Feng Ming nodded, "I had some suspicions before, but today I know for sure!"

Madam Hua continued, "Since you and Anan have this relationship, and considering my relationship with your maternal grandmother! Then I won't beat around the bush. I called you here tonight because I want to do business with you!"

"Do business with me?" Feng Ming was startled.

Good heavens, something wasn't right. First, she brought up her relationship with his maternal grandmother, then emphasized that Anan was her personal Disciple. Feng Ming felt like a big trap was waiting for him.

After all, if it wasn't a very important business matter, there would be no need to discuss it in the middle of the night, right?

Madam Liu seemed to have seen through Feng Ming's thoughts and said faintly, "You're right, the business I want to discuss with you this time is very important, so much so that it can be described as concerning the survival of my Hua Family!"

Feng Ming was shocked and couldn't help but perk up.

The Hua Family, what kind of existence was that? For Madam Hua to say something concerning the Hua Family's survival, it certainly wasn't a small matter.

"Please speak plainly, Grandma Hua."

Since it had come to this, Feng Ming wanted to see what kind of business was so important.

Madam Hua flipped her hand and took out a storage ring, placing it on the table, signaling Feng Ming to examine it.

Feng Ming immediately picked up the storage ring and investigated it with his Divine Sense. Instantly, he was somewhat stunned.

Because he saw that the storage ring was densely packed with Spirit Stones, and without exception, they were all High-Grade Spirit Stones.

The phrase "piled up like mountains" had now materialized for Feng Ming.

The storage ring's space was the same size as the one they were currently in, but instead of mountains, rivers, pavilions, and towers, it contained one towering mountain after another, all composed entirely of Spirit Stones.

"Grandma Hua, this is...?"

Feng Ming snapped out of his shock and quickly asked.

Madam Hua spoke, "I don't know how many Spirit Stones are inside, but it represents one-tenth of all the Hua Clan's current liquid assets. In other words, I have ten such storage rings."

"Ten rings?"

Feng Ming almost drooled at the sound of it.

Damn, the wealth in just one ring was piled up like mountains, and this old woman actually had ten! This was a true, pure-gold rich madam!

But such a person wanted to take out one-tenth of her personal wealth to do business with him!

What kind of concept was that?

It was a concept that would make you want to grovel!

At this moment, Feng Ming had an impulse to grovel, but unfortunately, the other party was of his grandmother's generation. If he did that, he would probably scare her.

Feng Ming also wasn't so overwhelmed by this immense wealth that he lost his reason.

"Grandma Hua, what are you trying to do? With such a huge fortune, let alone doing business with me, even if you supported me, I'd have to thank you for choosing me!"

"Even if you asked my grandfather to carry your shoes, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stop the old man!"

Madam Hua laughed, "Nonsense, how could I ask your grandfather to carry my shoes!"

"Grandma, he's just so improper, don't pay attention to him!"

Hua Dieer finally found an opportunity to mock Feng Ming a couple of times.

Feng Ming wasn't angry; he just looked at Madam Hua, wanting to know what she was really up to!

Something about this whole situation felt off.

At this moment, Lu An'an received a look from Madam Hua and spoke, "Husband, actually, after Master took me as her Disciple, the Hua Clan Merchant House was secretly handed over to me to manage."

This made Feng Ming feel even more uneasy, "That's good news, but what does it have to do with me? What business do you want to do with me?"

Lu An'an nodded, "Originally, it had nothing to do with it, but after I took over the Hua Clan Merchant House, I discovered something."

As she spoke, Lu An'an took out a notebook. Feng Ming glanced at it, and it was a record of the Hua Clan Merchant House's incoming and outgoing goods.

Lu An'an continued, "This is a record of the Hua Clan Merchant House's daily incoming and outgoing goods. It was discovered in a small city, and the person who recorded it was from the Bright Moon Dynasty's Alchemy Merchant Guild. They found a whole warehouse full of such ledgers!"

"What does this mean?" Feng Ming asked.

Lu An'an continued, "This means that the Hua Clan Merchant House has long been secretly monitored by the Bright Moon Dynasty all these years."

"Such a huge chain Merchant Guild, comparable to a money-printing machine, has profits that have reached a level where even the Bright Moon Dynasty is envious!"

Madam Hua then said, "According to the information I've gathered through my channels and connections, in one year at the earliest, or three years at the latest, the Hua Clan Merchant House that I personally founded will change hands."

"What? This..." Feng Ming was struck by lightning upon hearing this, but he quickly reacted.

Looking at Madam Hua, he said, "Grandma, you've been targeted. Could it be that King Haoyue's lifespan is nearing its end?"

Madam Hua was startled, then looked at Lu An'an.

Lu An'an looked at Feng Ming with a shocked expression.

Feng Ming was a bit confused, "Why are you both looking at me like that?"

Madam Hua suddenly started laughing, "Hahaha! Good! Excellent! As expected of the man Anan chose. The problem we've been pondering for so long and couldn't figure out, he exposed with a single sentence."

"Now I finally understand why King Haoyue is targeting this old woman."

"So that's it, so that's it!"
