It was true that Miss Li wanted to inherit the Yue Kiln, but the family she had married to was a ship-maker. It could be considered a large ship-maker in Jiangnan.
Her in-laws might not allow her to manage her family’s property after she got married. Why was her brother-in-law in such a hurry to act?
Moreover, what benefit did killing Miss Li at this time have for that brother-in-law?
Taking another ten thousand steps back, Miss Li really didn’t want to get married. She also wanted to take over her family’s business. The Yue Kiln was now a royal business, and she still had to trade with other countries.
The Yue kiln was ultimately lacking people. Her brother-in-law couldn’t become a head shopkeeper, but at least he could become rich and noble. Killing someone would cost him his life.
