Chapter 37: Raising troops to investigate, sisters betraying
After half a stick of incense, a group of three people arrived at the gate of Su Mansion.
The high gate courtyard of Su Mansion has the words "Su Mansion" written on the door, which looks simple and generous, revealing the vicissitudes of life.
But at this time, the door of Su Mansion was closed tightly, and there was no one guarding the outside.
The entire mansion gives people a deserted and desolate feeling, which is very different from its majestic appearance.
"The Su family is now in such a state of decline that it makes Master laugh."
Su Muhan looked at Su Mansion, sighed softly, and looked a little gloomy.
"There is nothing to laugh at. Success and failure are normal things. Your family can survive for thousands of years, which is already considered good."
Xiao Xuan waved his hand and didn't take it seriously.
In his opinion, no matter how strong a force is, if it is not able to survive, it will only be able to survive and cannot continue.
According to Su Muhan, no one in the Su family has been able to take up the mantle since the death of the first generation head of the family. It is extremely rare to be able to stand for a thousand years without falling.
"Thank you, Master, for your comfort. Please come in quickly!"
Su Muhan felt a little more comfortable after hearing this, and quickly stepped forward to push open the huge door, then turned sideways and made an invitation gesture to lead Xiao Xuan in.
Xiao Xuan nodded slightly, stepped into the Su Mansion, and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Along the way, Su Muhan followed Xiao Xuan and whispered to the master about the situation of the Su family.
It turned out that the Su Mansion didn't even have a concierge, but Su Muhan mortgaged the Su family's property in the city in order to raise spiritual stones to buy a first-grade molten core fire lotus, and dismissed all the servants in the manor, leaving only her, her father,
There is also a personal maid.
After Su Muhan led Xiao Xuan and Zhinu into the inner courtyard, he saw that there were more than ten people waiting in the hall for a long time.
"Second uncle, third aunt, why are you here?"
Seeing a few people sitting at the main table, drinking tea and chatting, Su Muhan froze on the spot and asked in surprise.
"Hmph! If we don't come here again, our Su family's old house may not have the surname Su for a long time!"
This middle-aged man was wearing a brocade robe, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Su Muhan's, but he revealed a hint of hostility. He stared at Su Muhan with a gloomy look, which was intimidating.
It was Su Muhan's second uncle, Su Hongyuan.
"Second uncle, now is not the time to talk about this. I want to save my father first!"
Su Muhan's expression changed and he frowned.
"Ha! How dare you mention your father, you evildoer?
If my eldest brother knew that you were selling your property for pleasure, he would be mad at you even if you woke up!"
Next to Su Hongyuan, a woman scolded angrily.
The woman was dressed elegantly, but she could not hide the mean spirit in her body.
It was Su Muhan's third aunt, Su Runyue.
"Third aunt, you misunderstood."
Su Muhan quickly defended himself: "I did not sell my property for pleasure, but to buy a first-grade Molten Core Fire Lotus to save my father's life!"
"You still dare to argue that although you are the master of the Su family's property, I also have a share in the second and third bedrooms, but you just mortgaged it without any discussion with us. You are simply selfish and you are in vain for being a descendant of the Su family!
"
Su Hongyuan slapped the table, pointed at Su Muhan and roared.
"If the Su family's fortune really falls into your hands, you may one day end up selling your ancestors for glory!"
"Yes, yes! Su Muhan, how could you do this?
How much effort your father put in to preserve the Su family, and yet he ended up like this, yet you were the one stumbling behind it, which is chilling!"
"The Su family has raised you for twenty years. Is this how you repay the Su family?"
“You’re also said to be a genius in alchemy and the most beautiful woman in Luoyun City?
Her heart is so vicious, I’m afraid all the spiritual stones she earned from selling them were used to support the concubine next to her, right?"
In the hall, more than a dozen men and women agreed with Su Hongyuan and began to accuse Su Muhan.
They were all members of the collateral line of the Su family, and they usually complained about the direct lineage. Now, to add insult to injury, they showed no respect for Su Muhan. They all pointed at her and cursed her arrogantly.
Su Muhan's pretty face was livid with anger, her body was trembling, her teeth were biting her red lips, and her eyes were burning.
"Why do you cold-blooded people have the nerve to come here and accuse me?"
"When my father went crazy, did any of you come to care and visit him?
When I learned about the Fire Lotus and wanted to raise spiritual stones from you, how many rejections did I receive?"
"Now that I heard that I mortgaged a house of property, you came to the Su Mansion to challenge me. You are so shameless. You are worse than an animal, worse than a beast!"
The more Su Muhan talked, the more excited he became. His chest was rising and falling, his eyes were red, and he was extremely angry.
During the time when her father was seriously injured and comatose, her second uncle and three aunts never came to visit, and they never even said a word of concern. For her biological brothers and sisters to be like this, let alone other people, this made her extremely disappointed.
She has already seen through the warmth and coldness of human relationships. The second uncle is concerned about his position as the head of the Su family, while the third aunt and others are concerned about the family property.
They are all cold-blooded animals!
When these family relatives were pointed out by Su Muhan, their expressions became a little worried.
Su Hongyuan was quite thick-skinned and snorted coldly: "Don't judge him right or wrong... You accepted an outsider as your teacher at the auction today. We have decided to remove you from your position as the acting head of the family! From today on, I am the head of the Su family.
, and you?
Then he is no longer a member of the Su family!"
Su Hongyuan said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Since you are no longer a member of the Su family, please hand over all the 1.1 million middle-grade spiritual stones you obtained from selling off your property. Otherwise, don't blame me for not cherishing our old friendship!"
"Don't think about the spirit stone, I've already used it to buy the fire lotus!"
Su Muhan took a deep breath, calmed down, and refused.
"You said you bought the fire lotus for all the spirit stones?"
After Su Hongyuan heard this, he strangely did not get angry. Instead, he laughed and looked at Su Muhan mockingly.
"Su Muhan, what you did at the auction today is all under my control. Don't think that I don't know that the master you sold yourself to worship has returned the spirit stone to you. I advise you to keep the spirit stone obediently.
Hand over all the stones and avoid the pain of your skin and flesh!"
"What?
!”
After listening to Su Hongyuan's words, Su Muhan's pretty face turned pale instantly.
It hadn't even been an hour since she became apprentice to Xiao Xuan.
Even if it spread, it would not be possible for everyone to know it in such a short period of time.
And seeing that the Su family had been waiting for a long time and looked confident, it was obvious that they had received the news a long time ago.
"How did you know?"
"Hahaha, in order to prevent you from destroying the Su family, I have already placed eyes and ears around you. Your every move is under my control. How could I not know?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful-looking maid walked in quickly and bowed to Su Hongyuan: "I witnessed Su Muhan's apprenticeship with my own eyes. What the head of the family said is true!"
"Little ring?"
Su Muhan turned to look at the maid, somewhat unbelievable.
This maid is Su Muhan's personal maid. She has been with her for more than ten years since she was a child. She has a very good relationship with her on weekdays. It is easy to say that they are like sisters.
Even when the servants of the Su family were dismissed, Su Muhan was not willing to let the maid leave, which shows that she trusts and values the maid.
But she didn't expect that this maid was actually Su Hongyuan's eyes and ears placed beside her.
"I treat you like a sister, why would you betray me?"
Su Muhan's face was full of pain and sorrow, and it was hard to accept it for a while.
