Lin Fangwei’s poisoning incident was thus confirmed.
Although she still refused to admit any wrongdoing.
She knew that the Li Family would never let her go to prison.
But she didn’t realize that because of her, the family’s business and status had plummeted.
A leading medical family, once first, had abruptly fallen to fourth place.
Of course, the reason for such a drop was also because the Lee Family and the Yun Family were cunning.
After the evidence in Lin Fangwei’s new home was exposed, Meng Chuyue immediately sent the Lee Family and the Yun Family five Emergency Detoxification Pills and two boxes of high-quality fruit, almost fifty kilograms, respectively.
It was said to calm the young ladies’ shock; although the poison wasn’t from Medicinal Food Hall, since the incident happened there, they weren’t completely unrelated.
So far, because Lin Fangwei adamantly denied her guilt, people outside didn’t dare say that Li Fangwei’s intent to poison targeted Medicinal Food Hall, rather than the young ladies of the Lee and Yun Families.
Even though the Lee and Yun Families were well aware of this, they dared not blame Medicinal Food Hall, because to do so would be a real slap in the face: regardless of whom Li Fangwei intended to target, daring to poison someone from the Lee and Yun Families showed utter disregard for them.
To raise the issue would be even more embarrassing.
Because of this resentment, and seeing an opportunity to suppress the Li Family, the people from Lee Jiahe and the Yun Family took advantage of the situation and discussed collaboration with Medicinal Food Hall.
They wanted to expand Medicinal Food Hall to neighboring provinces and cities.
The terms they offered were generous, "We don’t want your medicinal diet recipes; we’ll just take care of the rest, and we don’t need a large share, just ten percent is fine."
What they cunningly omitted was most important: they were after the reputation.
With that reputation, their other businesses would flourish even more.
Shen Ci and Han Zheng didn’t refuse such a mutually beneficial opportunity.
The first batch of vegetables from their farm was almost ripe.
As opposed to selling raw vegetables, they preferred to create and sell finished products.
Thus, not only did Medicinal Food Hall quickly reopen.
Medicinal Halls in neighboring provinces and cities also opened one after another.
The price of the vegetables also increased slightly.
Even so, due to the effective results of the medicinal diet, business boomed.
Now that they were partners, they naturally took every chance to collaborate, and the status of the Song Family, Yun Family, and Lee Family rose steadily, while the Li Family gradually faded.
What everyone found curious was that while Shen Ci never formally acknowledged his heritage or returned to the Song Family, apart from Medicinal Food Hall, the other collaborations with the Lee and Yun Families were all under Song Ting’s name, and Song Ennian was the one managing them.
Honestly, without Song Ting’s approach, the Song Family wouldn’t have improved much.
Everyone was puzzled by his intentions. After much thought, the only conclusion they could come up with was that he and Song Ennian had an especially close relationship and trusted each other greatly.
What others didn’t know was that Song Ennian was also completely shaken by Shen Ci’s move, losing all confidence.
He had intended to engage in a fierce competition with Shen Ci.
He wanted to seize as much of the Song Family’s wealth as possible, preventing Song Ting from quietly giving it to Shen Ci.
Instead, Shen Ci not only didn’t want those assets but also kept sending resources his way...
Within just a few months, the Song Family’s wealth had grown nearly fivefold.
And it was still growing at a visibly rapid pace.
One day, he couldn’t resist asking Song Ting, "Does Shen Ci really regard money as mere dirt?"
Song Ting looked at him with a gentle smile and said, "How could that be? He told me that he loves money very much, because he was once very poor, he knows the benefits of money, knows that although money can’t buy everything, without money you can buy nothing. He decided very early on that he would earn a lot of money, to never let himself or the people he loves suffer. The reason he not only doesn’t want our Song Family’s assets but is also helping you to grow, is because the money he’s earned on his own is already a hundred times more than what you have in your hands."
