Knowing that they were not short of money, the head of the Ming family felt relieved.
As the men discussed their matters, Madam Ming II planned to privately inquire about her daughter’s situation in the Su family. However, before they could leave, the old lady arrived with Madam Yu.
Seeing them, Madam Ming’s expression turned sour. “What do you mean by this, grandmother?”
Today was their daughter and son-in-law’s return to the family, and now this old lady wanted to cause trouble for them?
Seeing Madam’s displeased expression, the old master Ming asked, “What are you here for?”
“Where is Xue’er?” The old lady knew that they were not welcome, but she didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.
“How would we know where she is?”
“Speak,” the old lady demanded angrily.
The head of the Ming family was about to speak, but the old master spoke first: “Yu Manxue did something inappropriate on the day of Ningning’s wedding and was confined by Prince Yu. If you want to inquire about her, you should ask the Prince Yu.”
“How dare you! My daughter would never do anything inappropriate,” Madam Yu angrily interjected before the old lady could speak. She simply couldn’t believe that her daughter would behave in such a manner.
“The Prince Yu came to escort the bride, and she knowingly disregarded the fact that the Prince already had a wife and child, and threw herself at him. What was she thinking?” the head of the Ming family said coldly.
“This… it’s just a misunderstanding. Su Jiu is your son-in-law, and he is the Prince’s brother. He could have explained to the Prince, and everything would have been fine. Besides, it’s normal for the Prince to take concubines, especially since the Princess Yu is unable to serve him due to her pregnancy. Isn’t it quite normal?” Madam Yu said nonchalantly, feeling that the Su family was making a big deal out of nothing.
The head of the Ming family frowned at Madam Yu. At this point, she still hadn’t realized where she had gone wrong, which was the most frightening part.
“From today, the Ming family and your family have no further ties. You don’t need to come here anymore,” the head of the Ming family said in a cold voice.
“I don’t agree,” the old lady said angrily.
She wasn’t going to give in.
“If you think your granddaughter is so good, you can go and live with her at the Yu family. My family can’t afford to keep someone like her,” the head of the Ming family was determined to sever ties with Madam Yu and her family.
If things continued like this, they would be ruined by Madam Yu and her daughter.
“Brother, is this how you act as an elder brother and uncle? Xue’er’s life is at stake, and this is how you behave?” the old lady was truly furious.
“You didn’t raise your child properly, and now you blame us? The Su family has its own rules. Only direct descendants over the age of 35 without children can take concubines. Even the Prince must abide by this rule. Besides, Prince Yu has never mentioned taking a concubine. Your daughter showed no shame and threw herself at him. If she was dealt with, she deserved it,” he refused to let his brother-in-law intervene.
After today, the Yu family would regret it.
“Brother, this is the last time, help your sister,” Madam Yu said, looking at the despondent head of the Ming family.
“Impossible,” he refused to help her. Not a chance.
“Leave. You are not welcome here,” the head of the Ming family issued an order of banishment. Seeing them leave, the expression on the old lady’s face was somewhat regretful.
In the end, they had no choice but to leave.
Without the support of the old lady Ming, Madam Yu was nothing. She left in a huff, feeling the urgency to discuss the matter with her husband.
For the head of the Ming family, this incident was just a minor episode, and Su Jiu didn’t pay much attention to it.
When Yu Baiya learned that trouble had been stirred up with Su Yu again, his expression turned grim.
Looking at the head of the Yu family, Yu Baiya said coldly, “You’ve got the wrong person. I don’t have the ability to help you again.”
Going after the Prince? Did they think the Prince’s martial arts skills were just for show? How could anyone be so foolish?
The head of the Yu family looked at Yu Baiya anxiously and said, “I’m begging you, please help us one more time, for the last time.”
“Because of your family, we lost an iron mine, not only is it the iron mine, but also the chance for your family to turn things around. I’ve already spared you trouble by not coming to you. And yet, you still want me to help you?” Yu Baiya was so exasperated that he laughed. This person really dared to say that.
The head of the Yu family’s expression stiffened. He knew that he wouldn’t dare to approach the main family about the loss of the iron mine, but this time, he had no choice.
He was well aware that the reason Su Yu hadn’t directly caused trouble was out of consideration for Su Jiu’s wedding. After today, no one knew what Prince Yu would do.
Altogether, the branch family was no match for Su Yu, not to mention the main family.
How could the head of the Ming family and his wife just let things go after their daughter did something like that on Ming Wanning’s wedding day?
After today, they would definitely take action.
“Su Jiu is the son-in-law of the Ming family, and your wife is the sister of the head of the Ming family, right? You can go and ask him for help,” Yu Baiya directly rejected the head of the Yu family’s request, and even suggested a solution.
The head of the Ming family was angry but dared not speak out. They still needed Yu Baiya to help them resolve this matter.
“Head of the family…”
“You don’t need to say anything. I can’t help with this matter. I won’t offend Su Yu for your sake,” he was someone no one could afford to offend.
Before the head of the Yu family could say anything, Yu Baiya had already asked them to leave.
The head of the Yu family returned home with his wife and began to arrange for the transfer of their family’s assets.
When Su Yu learned of this, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He said with a smirk, “Let them transfer. I want to see how much they can move in just one night.”
“Inform Wan Feng to start fully dealing with the branch of the Yu family from tomorrow.”
“Understood.”
The next day, Su Yu met with Wan Feng to devise a plan to deal with the branch of the Yu family. After listening to the plan, Wan Feng said, “Young Master, you are overestimating the branch of the Yu family.”
“Never underestimate anyone.”
“Understood.”
“The Prince of Ling and the trusted minister of the Crown Prince of Qi have sent request to visit.” Yuan Bao walked in, holding two request.
Su Yu took the requests from Yuan Bao and casually played with them. Yuan Bao looked at Su Yu and asked, “Would you like to meet them, Young Master?”
“Yes, let them in. I’m bored,” Su Yu said, squinting as he played with the tassel around his waist.
“Understood.”
When the representatives from Ling xiaoye and the Qi Empire arrived, Su Yu was not present as he had gone to find Wang Jinhe.
“Please wait a moment, I will go and fetch the Prince,” Yuan Bao said before leaving.
When Yuan Bao found Su Yu, he was discussing the assets of the branch of the Yu family with Wang Jinhe.
“I didn’t expect that the business of the branch of the Yu family would involve tea. But that’s good, I will have a place to sell the tea I cultivate in the future,” Wang Jinhe said with a smile.
Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe with a smile in his eyes as he arranged the assets of the branch of the Yu family, thinking about quickly taking over the branch of the Yu family so that he could make Wang Jinhe happy and arrange his own business.
“Master, the representatives from Ling Empire and the Qi Empire have both arrived,” Wan Feng informed.
