The tone suddenly became fierce and solemn, “Back then, Xiao Chonghuan and his wife wronged your father for stealing money and beat him to death right in front of everyone. If your father Xiao Changfu hadn’t died… Nearly thirty years ago, your father was so clever and shrewd. He had a natural talent for business, and at a time when others could barely afford to eat, he already had over four thousand taels of silver. If he hadn’t died, he would have long become a great businessman! With your father’s abilities, he might have built an empire to rival the Xiao Family! Xiao Chonghuan and his wife owe your father a life; it’s only right to pay it back with the Xiao Family’s legacy! You must take the position of Master of the Xiao Family!” Xiao Yuchuan, uncomfortable with her grip on his hand, withdrew it, “Even if it weren’t for the reasons you mentioned, I would still swallow up the Xiao Family.” Content orıginally comes from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩 “Good… good!” Aunt Xing’s eyes sparkled with a satisfied smile, “Chuan’er, you have potential. Creating Poison King Valley with your own skills, you truly are Brother Changfu’s son! Your parents would be proud in the afterlife. The Xiao Family’s legacy rightly belongs to you; after I die, I will also bless you to seize the Xiao Family’s legacy.” After Aunt Xing left the Su Mansion, Xiao Yuchuan and Su Qingyue remained silent for a long time. The wind blew across the courtyard, with the tree in the yard rustling softly. Su Xuanye came out of the room; he had overheard what Aunt Xing said, “Dad, Mom, that woman called Aunt Xing, was she telling the truth?” “Perhaps.” Xiao Yuchuan wasn’t entirely sure. Before Aunt Xing left the Su Mansion, she gave Xiao Yuchuan a letter paper. In the letter, Aunt Xing mentioned that she estimated the Xiao couple would soon capture her. She planned to make the Xiao couple turn on each other, arranging for Xiao Yuchuan to bring other crucial and powerful members of the Xiao Family to witness the mutual killing, preventing the suspicion or framing of Chuan’er for the deaths of the Xiao couple. In the following few days, Xiao Yuchuan overheard at the Xiao Mansion that Xiao Chonghuan and his wife could barely hold back, planning to kidnap Ye’er to kill Su Qingyue, which enraged him immensely. He almost couldn’t resist killing the Xiao couple on the spot. Remembering Aunt Xing’s plan, he temporarily restrained himself. As expected, the Xiao couple thoroughly investigated Aunt Xing. On the day Aunt Xing was captured and interrogated in the Study Room by guards sent by the Xiao couple, Su Qingyue hid on the rooftop, secretly keeping an eye on the activity inside, ready to signal the third brother at the moment Shen Yun and Xiao Chonghuan turned on each other so he could lead people in just in time. That day, the third brother had already invited Xiao Chonghuan’s sixth and ninth brothers to the Xiao Mansion in advance. Upon receiving Su Qingyue’s approximate timing signal, Xiao Yuchuan led ‘Sixth Uncle’ and ‘Ninth Uncle’ into the courtyard just in time to witness Shen Yun killing Xiao Chonghuan. Su Qingyue didn’t expect that the Xiao couple had also captured Xiao Changshou. Xiao Changshou was Xiao Changfu’s biological brother, and thus Xiao Yuchuan’s biological uncle. Aunt Xing and Xiao Changshou were both dead. Initially, Qingyue planned to rescue Aunt Xing and Xiao Changshou at an appropriate opportunity, but Chang Haotian appeared silently, intending to eavesdrop on the private discussions between Aunt Xing, Xiao Chonghuan, and others. Qingyue had to spar with Chang Haotian in secret, but during the fight, they were discovered by the Xiao Mansion’s guards. Chang Haotian cleverly said he was having a sparring match with Su Qingyue. Since Qingyue was Xiao Yuchuan’s wife and also Xiao Chonghuan’s daughter-in-law, the young Mistress of the Xiao Mansion, Words cannot describe the sudden appearance at the Xiao Mansion and sparring with Master Chang; even if they dismantled the Xiao Mansion, the servants dared not say a word. After she and Chang Haotian fought to a draw and alerted the Xiao Mansion’s guards, Chang Haotian, seeing that he couldn’t get near the Study Room, was forced to leave the Xiao Mansion.
