These short-sighted guys couldn't see the Zhao Family's wild ambition at all. In recent years, the Zhao Family had been constantly eroding the Su Family's industry, but these guys still felt good about themselves and had a good relationship with the Zhao Family.
"Enough. I approved Xiang to go to Ninghai to prepare a birthday gift for Old Bai. What can the Zhao Family do if they know? Let them come to me and talk about the Zhao Family all the time. If I don't rely on the Zhao Family, will the Su Family be finished? I haven't died yet, but you can't wait to cling to the Zhao Family. If I die, the Su Family will become the Zhao Family's lackeys. "
Master Su, who had been squinting all the time, finally couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly became furious. The behavior of these people in the Su Family almost made him die of anger.
Everyone was quiet. They didn't expect that the Master would defend Su Ningxiang, the culprit. He was the stabilizing force of the Su Family. If something bad happened to him because of anger, the Su Family would immediately fall out of the ranks of aristocratic families and become an aristocratic family, which was absolutely not what they wanted to see.
Yes, there were only so few families in the whole Shenzhou that could be called aristocratic families. According to the ranks of aristocratic families, aristocratic families, famous families, and distinguished families, although the Su Family was the last among the aristocratic families, it was still an aristocratic family.
The reason why the Su Family could be listed as an aristocratic family was that they had Master Su, the founder of the country. Compared with the Masters of other aristocratic families who could easily be generals, Master Su only stopped at the rank of lieutenant general and retired to the second line because of illness. Anyway, he was the only surviving founder of the country. As long as he was alive, the Su Family would be a real aristocratic family, and no one dared to underestimate it.
Although the Zhao Family was in the limelight and had a faint tendency to become the leader of the aristocratic families, they were still a rising family without a founding father. They were still a little short of becoming a major family. How could Old Man Su not fly into a rage when these unfilial descendants of a major family went to suck up to the thigh of an aristocratic family?
"Dad, we're not targeting Ningxiang, nor are we trying to ride on the Zhao Family's coattails. But Ningxiang made a promise back then. The Zhao Family didn't kill the father and son, which was a show of mercy. It's not like you don't know the current situation of our Su Family. To be frank, once you're gone, I'm afraid our Su Family won't even be able to keep the title of an aristocratic family. It's also a strategy for us to be on good terms with the Zhao Family. With the support of the Zhao Family, at least, it won't be a problem for us to keep the aristocratic family. Dad, we have to put the family first."
Su Zhengdong coughed and explained the pros and cons to Master Su with an obsequious smile.
Master Su closed his eyes tiredly and sighed secretly. Although what Su Zhengdong said was very utilitarian, it had to be said that it poked his heart.
When he retired to the second line due to illness, he had been brooding over it for half of his life, letting the Su Family become the last of the aristocratic families. For him, who had always been arrogant and competitive, it was simply unbearable.
In particular, some of his soldiers eventually overtook them and became generals or even generals. How could he feel balanced in his heart?
Although many of the descendants of the Su Family mingled in the political and military circles, none of them had a promising future. They were all f * cking tyrants. If the Su Family couldn't have a general or a member of the Central Agency Standing Committee in a short time, once he died, the position of the Su Family as a major family would inevitably be lost.
At that time, it would be good if the Su Family was reduced to an aristocratic family. According to the current character of the descendants of the Su Family who had no backbone to attach themselves to the powerful, they might not even be able to keep the title of an aristocratic family. It was not impossible for them to be reduced to the level of a famous family.
However, it was different from what Su Zhengdong thought of currying favor with the Zhao Family. Even if the Zhao Family was the head of the aristocratic families, he didn't take it seriously. The Bai Family was his goal. He painstakingly asked Su Ningxiang to prepare a birthday gift for Old Bai, which was to pave the way for the future of the Su Family.
After all, Old Bai was his former subordinate. Although Old Bai had a better life than him, he still had to care about the relationship between him and Old Bai.
With the backing of the Bai Family, as long as the descendants of the Su Family didn't act recklessly, it was still very promising to keep the title of an aristocratic family. However, with his temper, how could he put down his pride and ask his former subordinate for help?
Among so many descendants of the Su Family, only Su Ningxiang, the girl, saw through his intention and took the initiative to prepare a birthday gift that could satisfy Master Bai.
The grandfather and the grandson had reached a tacit understanding. He supported Su Ningxiang to take the opportunity to see her son, and Su Ningxiang asked him to ask the Bai Family for help without losing face, so that he could take care of the Su Family after a hundred years.
After all, unlike the incompetence of the descendants of the Su Family, the Bai Family had made great achievements in the three realms of politics, military, and business. It could be regarded as a family of heroes.
As for the Su Family, only the Datang Group, which was helmed by Su Ningxiang, could be seen in the public now. It had no achievements in the political and military realms.
He knew very well what the Su Family wanted to do. They envied that the economic lifeline of the Su Family was in the hands of Su Ningxiang. They wanted to seize power from her and gain the greatest benefits.
Master Su's heart was full of disappointment and sadness. It was okay for these people to be incompetent, but they were not so powerful and still wanted to wear such a big hat. If Datang Group was really handed over to them to manage, it would probably go bankrupt in less than a year.
Seeing that Master Su was silent, a group of people of the Su Family, each with their own ulterior motives, thought that he had changed his mind. Their momentum, which had just been restrained, suddenly became arrogant again.
"Ningxiang, I don't want to criticize you. Why do you have to go to Ninghai to buy a birthday gift? Do you know how many people are looking for the Master of the Divine Burin and want to ask him to help? The Master of the Divine Burin is like a mysterious dragon. How can you find him easily? Not to mention that you can't find him, even if you find him, he will not easily help you. "
Su Zhengdong said sarcastically, "How many people in Yan Jing want to ask for the works of the Master of the Divine Burin but can't get them? Do you know how much the price of the four ornaments auctioned in the Ninghai Auction House has risen now?"
"How much has it risen?"
Su Zhengxi, who had the potential to be a supporting character, asked in time.
"The lowest auction price of 1.8 billion is now inflated to 2.6 billion, and it was bought by the Yingjili Royal Family. They also released news that the Moonlight Lion, which was worth 2.3 billion, is willing to buy it for 3 billion. If there is a new work of the Master of the Divine Burin, the Yingjili Royal Family is willing to buy it at a higher price. You say, even if you find the Master of the Divine Burin, how much do you need to pay to make him help you? Do you want to exchange the shares of our Su Family's Datang Group for it? "
Su Zhengdong said with a sneer, and the amazing price attracted a burst of exclamations from the crowd.
"Ningxiang, didn't you go to Ninghai to find the Master of the Divine Burin? Did you find him? Let us appreciate it. "
"Humph, if she can ask the Master of the Divine Burin to help her, I will twist my head off and let her kick it as a ball."
"Yes, the Master of the Divine Burin is not a fool. If he has money, doesn't he know how to earn it himself? If he directly carves it and sells it to the Yingjili Royal Family, he can make at least one billion in profit. How can he give it to others? "
"That's hard to say. Maybe if Beauty Su acts coquettishly and coquettishly, the Master of the Divine Burin will be so lustful that he will help her, haha."
"I don't know what kind of taste the Master of the Divine Burin has. Maybe he likes this kind of middle-aged woman."
…
The more the Su Family members talked, the more outrageous they became, which made Ningxiang's face darken.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Old Man Su abruptly opened his eyes. His murky eyes flickered with a bright light, like a lion that had just woken up. That terrifying aura caused everyone to shiver in fear.
"Three billion? Hehe, it's really valuable. This little money makes you disregard the kinship of the blood and talk about your relatives like the soles of a broken shoe. Our Su Family is getting more and more unruly. "
Master Su sneered and suddenly shouted, "Come on, punish her according to the family rules!"
Four expressionless and gloomy old men appeared like ghosts and bowed to Master Su together.
With fierce eyes, Master Su pointed at Su Xiuyun and Su Wanyu, who were talking dirty, and said coldly, "Take them away and slap them. Each of them will be flogged ten times."
"Grandpa, don't. I'm wrong. I won't dare to do it again!"
"Grandpa, please have mercy. I know I'm wrong …"
The two women were so scared that their faces turned pale. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"Dad, they …"
Su Zhengdong and Su Zhengxi's faces changed dramatically, and they hurriedly opened their mouths to beg for mercy. But Master Su glared at them and said, "Whoever dares to beg will be punished according to the family rules." Their faces turned red, and they did not dare to say anything.
"Yes!"
Without hesitation, the four old men took out two blood-stained ceremonial tablets, pressed the two women down, and slapped them to their mouths without mercy.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Screams came one after another, and all the people of the Su Family bowed their heads, shivering all over. The Su Family had not carried out the family rules for many years, and they had long forgotten the horror of the family rules. At this moment, when the family rules were reviewed, everyone was silent, and they could not figure out what the Master was thinking.
Especially the four old men, who had been loyal to Master Su all their lives. They were not only the guarantee of the Su Family's force, but also the enforcers of the family rules. Even Su Zhengdong and his brothers were polite to them and did not dare to neglect them.
The four old men were very skillful. Although they beat them fiercely, they were only superficial wounds, and they would never leave hidden dangers and disabilities such as teeth falling out.
After ten flogs, the two women's mouths were full of blood, and their whole faces were like pig heads. Their lips were swollen like two big sausages, which was too horrible to look at. They knelt on the ground and did not even dare to sob loudly, for fear that they would annoy the Master and be punished according to the family rules again.
The old faces of Su Zhengdong and his brothers twitched and turned away. Their daughters were punished according to the family rules, and it was not good for their father's face, but in the face of the Master's majesty, they did not even dare to breathe.
Su Zhengbei's eyes flickered. He knew that the eldest brother, Su Zhengdong, was dissatisfied that the Master passed the position of the family head to the second brother, Su Zhengnan, and the third brother, Su Zhengxi, hated Su Ningxiang for reneging on the marriage and affecting his future.
This time, he was also dragged here by his eldest brother and third brother, so he did not speak again after a shout. He secretly felt lucky that his daughter, Su Wanyi, did not come here. Otherwise, with her temperament that had always been incompatible with Su Ningxiang, she would definitely not escape from the family rules today.
However, what was the Master's intention in doing this? Did he want to protect Su Ningxiang, or did he have other deeper intentions? It was quite thought-provoking.
Su Zhenxiong and several other cousins who had satirized Su Ningxiang were so scared that they shivered like quails, and their heads almost drooped to the ground, for fear that they would be punished by the Master.
Su Ningxiang was expressionless, but she felt unprecedentedly happy in her heart. These so-called relatives had never regarded her as a relative. Every time they met, there were needles hidden in their words, and their words were as ugly as they could be. She had long wanted to smash their mouths.
"Do you think that I am unfair and partial to Su Ningxiang, so you feel very unconvinced?"
Master Su narrowed his eyes and asked indifferently.
