Chapter 20 Sister-in-law!
In Qingquan Prefecture, Zhang Su rode his little red horse through the streets.
Familiar memories flooded his mind.
After all, this was where he had grown up.
Of course, most of those days were filled with hardship and suffering.
But there were also some joyful memories.
In the prefecture, Zhang Su's memories gradually "came back," and naturally, the unfamiliar feeling he had when he first entered the city disappeared.
Zhang
Su came to a fork in the road.
He stopped.
He had been so focused on getting there that once he arrived in the prefecture, he didn't know where to go.
"The old house... was taken over by the Zhang family relatives."
Zhang Su still had some memories.
Since his mother's death, the Zhang family relatives had taken advantage of his misfortune, taking away everything the Zhang family owned,
including the house.
Otherwise, his elder brother wouldn't have married into the Su family.
"So, my younger sister, Uncle Guan, and the others should all be living with my elder brother at the Su family's residence..."
Zhang Su knew where the Su family was.
After all, the Su family was known as "Half-City Su," and almost everyone in the prefectural city knew them.
Zhang Su then walked to the left.
Soon, he saw a huge, antique-style building complex.
Many people were coming and going.
Outside the gate, many servants were guarding.
That was the Su family!
Zhang Su immediately rode his horse to the Su family's gate.
The servants, seeing Zhang Su riding a small red horse and possessing an extraordinary air, politely stepped forward and asked, "Young master, who are you?"
"I am Zhang Su,"
Zhang Su said calmly.
"Zhang Su?"
The gatekeeper was somewhat bewildered.
Never heard of him.
This was actually normal.
Zhang Su's relationship with his elder brother had previously been very strained.
He hadn't even returned for his brother's wedding. He
had never been to the Su family before either.
Naturally, the servants of the Su family didn't know his identity.
Zhang Su frowned.
"My elder brother is Zhang Chen,"
Zhang Su said directly.
"Hmm? The young master's brother..."
The servant seemed to realize something and hurriedly bowed respectfully, saying, "So it's Second Master Zhang. I've never seen Second Master Zhang before, please forgive me."
The servant hurriedly bowed to Zhang Su ,
his tone becoming much more respectful.
Although they had never seen Zhang Su, they vaguely knew that the young master had a younger brother.
Just then, a carriage stopped in front of the gate.
Zhang Su turned around
and saw that it was the carriage of the second young lady of the third branch of the Su family, whom he had seen at the city gate before.
She had already entered the city.
He didn't know where she had gone, and only now had she returned to the Su family.
The servants' expressions became even more respectful upon seeing the carriage.
A woman in a green dress slowly stepped down from the carriage.
She was carefully helped by her maid.
She was quite pretty.
"The Second Miss is returning home! Quick, open the door!"
The servants swiftly opened the gate.
The Second Miss naturally noticed Zhang Su as well.
After all, Zhang Su rode a little red horse and possessed an extraordinary air about him; it was hard not to notice him.
The Second Miss stopped and smiled at Zhang Su, asking, "May I ask how you are addressed, young master?"
"Zhang Su."
The Second Miss, who had been smiling and well-mannered, froze instantly upon hearing Zhang Su's name.
"Hmph."
"So it's the eldest son-in-law's relative coming to freeload. Unlucky! Go back quickly!"
The Second Miss didn't even glance at Zhang Su, seemingly disgusted, and directly led her maid into the Su family home.
Zhang Su frowned.
Why was this second young lady from the third branch so hostile towards him?
He had never been to the Su family before, and naturally had never met her.
There was only one possibility:
she disliked his eldest brother, Zhang Chen.
Judging from her attitude, his life in the Su family was probably not as easy as he had imagined.
The servant was somewhat embarrassed,
but still cautiously said, "Second Master Zhang, the young master instructed that if you return to the Su family, he will immediately take you to the eldest branch's courtyard. Please come with me."
Zhang Su nodded.
He dismounted, tossed the reins to the servant, and ordered, "Serve him with the finest feed."
"Yes, Second Master Zhang."
Zhang Su then entered through the gate.
The Su family mansion was vast,
a continuous expanse.
Various pavilions and towers, extremely luxurious.
No wonder the Su family was known as "Half of Su City."
Truly wealthy!
The Su family had three branches: the eldest, second, and third branches.
Each branch lived in a different courtyard.
The eldest son's branch currently controls the Su family's businesses and has the greatest influence.
However, the second and third branches are not just sitting idly by; they also manage some of the Su family's businesses, though the eldest son's branch is still in charge.
Zhang Su gleaned this basic information from the servants who guided him along the way.
Of course, the servants weren't very direct, but Zhang Su had a good grasp of the situation through a combination of guesswork and explanation.
As for the specifics of the third branch, he would probably have to ask his eldest brother.
Soon, the servants led Zhang Su to a courtyard.
"Second Young Master! You're really back?"
Uncle Guan's aged voice reached his ears.
Zhang Su saw Uncle Guan.
He was directing several servants to do chores.
"Yes, I'm back. Where is my eldest brother?"
Zhang Su asked.
Uncle Guan was very excited; even his eyes reddened instantly.
He rubbed his eyes and said, "Second Young Master, someone from the Third Branch just came, saying there's something urgent and they want the Eldest Young Master to discuss it. They haven't returned yet." "
However, the Third Miss and the Young Mistress are inside. I'll go inform them right away."
It was clear that Uncle Guan was genuinely happy, and he hurriedly ran into the house.
Zhang Su looked around.
There were quite a few servants in the courtyard,
all curiously observing him.
However, with Zhang Su in front of them, they dared not say anything, only their eyes revealing curiosity.
Soon, a pretty young woman with delicate features rushed out, lifting her skirt.
Upon seeing Zhang Su, she couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Second Brother, you're finally back! It's been a year..."
Memories of the past flooded Zhang Su's mind.
This was his younger sister, Su Lingyi.
She should be fourteen years old this year, and still unmarried.
"Lingyi..."
Zhang Su carefully examined his younger sister.
She seemed even more outstanding than last year.
It seemed she was doing well in the Su family.
"Second Young Master, the Young Madam has just given birth and is feeling a bit weak. Please come to the living room,"
Uncle Guan said softly,
his expression tinged with unease.
Even Su Lingyi, the younger sister who had been cheering just moments before, suddenly fell silent.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
After all, they all knew that the conflict between Zhang Su and Zhang Chen stemmed from "Su Zhenzhen."
Now Zhang Su was going to see "Su Zhenzhen."
No one knew what would happen.
Zhang Su, however, didn't think too much about it.
He nodded and said, "Alright, it is indeed my turn to pay my respects to my sister-in-law."
With that, Zhang Su walked straight into the living room.
As soon as he entered, Zhang Su saw a young woman with a slightly pale face.
She was beautiful and bore a resemblance to the second young lady of the third branch of the Su family.
But her eyes were softer, and her temperament was more gentle.
Zhang Su knew that this young woman must be Su Zhenzhen.
"Greetings, sister-in-law,"
Zhang Su said.
As soon as he spoke, Su Zhenzhen smiled.
"Uncle is finally back! My husband will be so happy to hear that. He's been thinking about you for a year..."
Su Zhenzhen seemed completely unconcerned about the past "battle of wills" between Zhang Su and Zhang Chen.
She acted with composure and grace.
Outside the living room, Uncle Guan and his younger sister Zhang Lingyi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with joy. Uncle Guan
, in particular, couldn't help but wipe his eyes.
He was an old servant of the Zhang family and
sincerely hoped that Zhang Chen and Zhang Su would be at peace.
As the saying goes, harmony in the family brings prosperity.
Now that Zhang Su and Su Zhenzhen were on good terms,
the biggest knot in the two brothers' hearts had naturally been untied.
This was a cause for celebration.
"Xiao Cui, bring Hu Tou out for Uncle to see."
"Yes, Madam."
Soon, Xiao Cui came out carrying a chubby-faced baby.
This was the eldest brother and Su Zhenzhen's son.
His formal name was Su Mao, and his nickname was Hu Tou.
He had just turned one month old.
A banquet will be held tomorrow, inviting many guests.
Zhang Su took the tiger head and teased it a couple of times.
Perhaps because Zhang Su was a martial artist with excessive energy, the tiger head was frightened and cried loudly.
Zhang Su's flustered movements made Su Zhenzhen, Xiao Mei, and Uncle Guan burst into laughter.
In an instant, the somewhat tense atmosphere in the living room dissipated, replaced by a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.
A servant, drenched in sweat, rushed into the living room and knelt before Su Zhenzhen with a thud, crying loudly, "Young Madam, you must be quick! The young master and Qianhe from the third branch of the family are fighting..."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhenzhen's expression changed drastically.
"Uncle, I'll go check first, lest my husband suffer!"
Zhang Su could see that Su Zhenzhen was fiercely protective of her husband; she had even brought some burly guards.
In the blink of an eye, only Zhang Su, his younger sister, and Uncle Guan remained in the large courtyard.
Zhang Su frowned: "Is my elder brother in such a difficult situation within the Su family?"
This was still within the Su family compound.
Had the relationship between the eldest and third branches become so tense that they were about to fight?

Chapter 21 The Su Family Conflict!
"Uncle Guan, what exactly is going on between the third and first branches of the family?"
"Also, how has my eldest brother fared in the Su family this past year?"
Zhang Su asked two questions in quick succession.
Uncle
Guan glanced at Zhang Su, then sighed and explained in detail, "Actually, the eldest young master's situation in the first branch is quite good. He and his wife are very loving, and the head of the first branch has been in poor health in recent years, so he has basically handed over the business to his wife." "
On the surface, the wife is in charge, but in reality, she listens to the eldest young master almost without question. The business of the Su family's first branch is basically managed by the eldest young master. And in the past year, he has managed the business very well." "
However, the more outstanding the eldest young master is, the more dissatisfied the other two branches of the Su family are. The Su family has three branches, with the first branch holding the dominant position. The second branch has few members and no outstanding figures, so it has long been marginalized in the Su family."
"The problem lies with the third branch. The eldest branch only has one daughter, the young mistress. Originally, after the eldest son passed away, the Su family business would be handed over to the third branch. However, the eldest son married into the Su family, and crucially, he's doing quite well. This is tantamount to stealing the third branch's opportunity to take over the Su family, so the third branch is targeting the eldest son at every turn,"
Uncle Guan explained clearly.
Zhang Su immediately understood.
The current conflict within the Su family is between the third and eldest branches.
The third branch wants to take control of the Su family business. Originally, the eldest branch had few members, only one daughter, so the third branch had a chance.
But the eldest brother's marriage into the eldest branch dashed the third branch's hopes.
Wouldn't the people of the third branch hate their eldest brother to death?
No wonder the second young lady of the third branch showed such strong hostility when she saw Zhang Su outside the gate.
Now Zhang Su understands everything.
This is quite different from what Zhang Su thought.
Zhang Su thought his eldest brother was enduring humiliation and frustration in the Su family.
Unexpectedly, that wasn't the case at all.
His sister-in-law, "eager to dote on her husband," voluntarily relinquished the eldest brother's power in the eldest branch.
The eldest brother is quite capable.
He now practically dominates the business of the eldest branch of the family and is the de facto controller.
His word carries immense weight within the family.
This situation is quite good.
The only trouble might be the third branch's confrontation with the eldest brother.
"Uncle Guan, may I go and take a look?"
Zhang Su asked.
Although it's within the Su family, even if the eldest brother and the third branch's people fight, it shouldn't be a big deal.
But Zhang Su still wanted to go and see.
After all, seeing is believing.
He could find out the eldest brother's situation in the Su family by taking a look.
"This..."
Uncle Guan thought for a moment, and finally nodded, saying, "The second young master is an outer disciple of the Guiyuan Sect, which carries weight. Perhaps he can help the eldest young master. Second young master, please come with me..."
Zhang Su nodded.
So, the younger sister, Zhang Lingyi, stayed in the courtyard.
Zhang Su and Uncle Guan went to the Su family's council hall.
...
The Su family's council hall.
The servants of the third branch and the eldest branch of the Su family were in a tense standoff.
Su Qianhe's face was gloomy.
Although Zhang Chen's clothes were somewhat disheveled, he was generally unharmed, even maintaining his elegant demeanor. He
looked like a refined scholar, not a live-in son-in-law at all. "Su Qianhe,
what
are you doing? Believe me or not, I'll break your legs!"
At this moment, an angry voice came from outside the hall.
Su Zhenzhen stormed in
, followed by a group of servants and guards.
Upon seeing Su Zhenzhen, Su Qianhe's previously arrogant expression immediately wilted.
Her eyes flickered.
"Sister Zhen, Zhang Chen went too far..."
Su Qianhe argued.
"Hmm? What did you call your husband?"
Su Zhenzhen was always gentle and charming in front of Zhang Chen, but in front of the rest of the Su family, she exuded a powerful aura, truly the eldest daughter of the Su family!
Before marriage, Su Zhenzhen was the Su family's "female strategist."
Basically, many of the decisions made by the eldest son's father were actually devised by Su Zhenzhen behind the scenes.
If Su Zhenzhen weren't a woman,
unable to publicly support the Su family, how could the third branch of the family have any such ideas?
Su Qianhe had always been afraid of Su Zhenzhen.
The Su Zhenzhen of the past was the "big sister" of the Su family, exuding authority.
Su Qianhe swallowed hard and said cautiously, "It's...it's brother-in-law who went too far."
Hearing the address "brother-in-law," Su Zhenzhen's expression softened slightly.
She hurriedly stepped forward, took Zhang Chen's hand, and whispered, "Husband, are you alright? If Su Qianhe dared to hit you, I'd break his legs!"
The hall fell silent for a moment.
You could hear a pin drop.
Everyone in the Su family knew that Su Zhenzhen was a "husband-doting fanatic," and if anything happened to Zhang Chen, Su Zhenzhen would definitely explode.
Zhang Chen smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine. It wasn't Qianhe who hit me just now; it was just a minor conflict between servants. It's nothing serious. Besides, it was just a business dispute, nothing important."
Su Zhenzhen's expression softened slightly.
She turned around and stared coldly at Su Qianhe: "Qianhe, tell me, what exactly is it that you're arguing with your brother-in-law about?"
Su Qianhe's eyes flickered, but she remained silent for a long time.
However, Su Mulan, the second young lady of the third branch, couldn't sit still any longer.
She immediately spoke up: "Sister Zhen, you were resting after giving birth and didn't know about the business matters. In the past month, our Su family's business has suffered a lot of trouble."
"I don't know what happened, but our Su family's transportation team has been attacked several times in a month, resulting in the loss of goods and heavy losses. Shouldn't we be held accountable for these losses?"
Su Zhenzhen frowned.
At this moment, Zhang Chen spoke up, "It's alright, I've already made preparations this time. We've used a feint, a covert strategy. The cargo transport has been divided into three routes: one will still be guarded by the Su family, one will be transported by water, and the last will be escorted by the Zhenyuan Escort Agency."
"This time, it should be foolproof."
Su Zhenzhen nodded, "My husband's arrangements are very reasonable. Do you have any objections?"
"Hmph, Zhen-jie, our third branch just received news. Take a look. The Su family's guards and the goods transported by water have all been hijacked."
Su Zhenzhen took the intelligence report.
Sure enough, it stated that the goods transported by water and the supplies escorted by guards had all been hijacked.
"Husband, this…"
Su Zhenzhen hesitated.
"Zhenzhen, don't worry. Whether it's the waterway or the escorts, they're just empty shells. The real goods aren't on those routes."
"On the contrary, the fact that both routes were robbed only strengthens my suspicion that someone is targeting our Su family!"
Zhang Chen said calmly,
his words brimming with confidence.
Although he didn't know martial arts, he came from a scholarly family and had been studying since childhood.
He had managed the Su family's business for a year, and it had been running smoothly without any problems.
He had this confidence!
"Who knows if the goods being escorted by the镖局 (escort agency) will be damaged? Besides, this time the goods are so valuable; if they're robbed, our Su family's business will be in serious trouble." "
But I'm already engaged to Jiang Cheng. The Jiang family is a martial arts family. If we entrust the business to the Jiang family for escorting, even if many people are watching, the Jiang family can definitely guarantee the safety of the goods,"
Su Mulan said coldly.
Su Zhenzhen understood.
The third branch's true purpose was to hand over the goods escort business to the Jiang family.
Over time, the third branch of the family would gain control over the Su family's business.
"I know Zhenyuan Escort Agency. Its chief escort, Li He, is known in the martial arts world as 'Ghost Head Saber,' and is quite renowned. With him personally escorting the goods this time, there shouldn't be any problems,"
Su Zhenzhen said slowly.
"Is that so? Sister Zhen, if the goods are truly stolen, then your eldest branch should hand over the Su family's business to us, the third branch, how about that?"
Su Mulan's words silenced the entire hall.
Su Zhenzhen's eyes were fixed on Su Mulan.
Then, she turned her gaze to Su Qianhe and asked coldly, "Qianhe, is this the intention of your third branch?"
Although somewhat intimidated, Su Qianhe forced a smile and replied, "Sister Zhen, Mulan's intention is the intention of our third branch."
"I understand."
Su Zhenzhen turned and grasped Zhang Chen's hand, saying calmly, "Husband, are you confident?"
"Yes."
"Good, then I believe in my husband! However, business is not child's play. Regardless of whether the goods were stolen this time, the Su family's business should be managed by the eldest branch!"
"As for your third branch, if you have any objections, then keep them to yourself!"
"And Su Mulan, you only married Jiang Cheng, not made him your servant. You will be a member of the Jiang family from now on. How dare an outsider like you interfere in the affairs of the Su family?"
Upon hearing this, both Su Qianhe and Su Mulan were slightly stunned.
Then, Su Mulan's face flushed red, and her chest heaved.
She was furious beyond measure!
Since her engagement to Jiang Cheng, she had been pampered wherever she went; she had never heard such a blunt reprimand.
Just then, two figures walked in.
One was the somewhat hunched-over Uncle Guan.
The other was a young swordsman in white robes, wielding a long sword.
Zhang Chen turned around.
When he saw the young swordsman, his eyes widened in shock.
His usual composure vanished instantly, replaced
by excitement.

Chapter 22 Things don't happen more than three times, Zhang Su draws his sword!
"Second brother...you're finally back..."
"Yes, eldest brother, I'm back."
Seeing Zhang Su arrive, Su Mulan's anger flared even more, and she shrieked, "Su Zhenzhen, didn't you say that I, an outsider, had no right to interfere in the Su family's affairs?"
"Then what is he?"
"Zhang Su, a good-for-nothing who bought his way into the Guiyuan Sect's outer disciple status, only knows how to come to my Su family to freeload, and now he even dares to openly step into the council hall, isn't he an outsider?"
Su Zhenzhen's expression changed.
She knew Zhang Su's position in her husband's heart.
This book is first published online by 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞
How could she tolerate Su Mulan's accusations?
"Slap."
Su Zhenzhen slapped Su Mulan across the face.
Su Mulan was stunned.
She trembled with rage: "Su Zhenzhen, you actually hit me for the sake of a good-for-nothing brother who's a live-in son-in-law?"
"That's exactly what I'm doing! Second brother is a distinguished guest of the Su family, his first visit here. Is this how the Su family teaches you to treat guests?"
"You…"
Su Mulan's eyes reddened.
She glared at Su Zhenzhen.
Su Zhenzhen wasn't going to tolerate Su Mulan.
She had been the apple of the eye of the eldest branch of the Su family since childhood, showered with love and affection. How could she not handle Su Mulan?
"Second brother, please don't take offense…"
Su Zhenzhen turned around, a warm smile on her face.
"Clang."
But the next moment, a crisp sound of a sword being drawn rang in everyone's ears.
Zhang Su, without warning, instantly drew his sword.
"Second Miss, be careful…"
There were guards in the council hall.
One of the guards from the third branch's family instantly changed his expression.
He had reacted quickly
, but it was still too late.
The sharp blade sliced across Su Mulan's forehead in an instant.
Su Mulan could even feel the cold touch of the blade.
"Swoosh."
A soft sound rang out.
A strand of hair was severed by the longsword and fell to the ground.
"Snap."
Zhang Su sheathed his sword.
The entire council hall fell silent instantly.
No one could have imagined that someone would dare to draw their sword in the Su family council hall.
"You..."
Su Mulan trembled all over.
Her eyes were filled with terror as she looked at Zhang Su.
Just now, she had truly felt the breath of death.
That sword strike made her realize that Zhang Su might actually dare to kill her!
Zhang Su's expression was calm as he said indifferently, "At the city gate, your carriage drove recklessly, showing no regard for my presence. This was the first time you insulted me." "In
front of the Su family gate, you spoke rudely, insulting me a second time."
"Just now in the council hall, you insulted me a third time."
"Third time's the charm. Consider this a lesson. If there's a next time, my sword will surely draw blood!"
Zhang Su's words shocked many people.
However, what shocked them even more was that sword strike just now.
As the saying goes, the layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the essence.
There were many Su family guards in the council hall.
They appeared to be resting with their eyes closed, or standing aside.
But in reality, they were extremely vigilant.
They had sensed Zhang Su drawing his sword the instant he did.
However, none of them could stop him.
Not that they couldn't, but they were powerless to stop him.
It was too fast.
So fast that even they, facing that sword, would likely be in grave danger.
The guards exchanged glances, their expressions extremely tense.
They immediately shielded their young mistress and young master behind them, their eyes fixed intently on Zhang Su, fearing he might launch another attack.
The eldest brother, Zhang Chen, was startled.
Only when he saw that Zhang Su had merely severed a strand of Su Mulan's hair with a single sword stroke did he breathe a sigh of relief.
However, he also keenly sensed that his "second brother" seemed different now.
A year ago, his second brother had a huge fight with him and unilaterally declared that they were severing ties.
But a year later, his second brother returned from the Guiyuan Sect and already showed the demeanor of a disciple from a major sect.
Su Zhenzhen was also somewhat surprised.
She hadn't expected this "second brother," who seemed so gentle and refined, to be so fierce?
He attacked without saying a word.
Moreover, even the Su family's guards couldn't stop him in time.
This was extraordinary.
She knew very well that Zhang Su had used his connections with the Su family to "buy" a spot as an outer disciple of the Guiyuan Sect with money.
She had thought that he would just be wasting his time in the outer sect of the Guiyuan Sect.
Unexpectedly, it seemed that he had actually made a name for himself.
"Alright, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency should be back by tomorrow. We can talk about everything tomorrow."
Su Zhenzhen knew that nothing could be discussed today.
"Husband, second brother, let's go back first."
Zhang Chen nodded.
He smiled and said, "Second brother, it seems you've improved quite a bit this past year. Come on, let's go back and have a good chat."
Zhang Chen's face revealed a genuine smile.
The eldest branch of the family quickly left.
Only the third branch remained in the council hall.
Su Mulan's face was still pale.
Even now, her emotions had not yet calmed down.
Su Qianhe immediately rebuked, "Uncle Qiao, how can you be a good guard? Aren't you the renowned 'Iron Pen Judge' in the martial world? How come you couldn't even stop an ordinary disciple of the Guiyuan Sect from drawing his sword?"
"Uncle Qiao" was the guard who had stood behind Su Qianhe earlier, trying to stop Zhang Su from drawing his sword.
His real name was Fang Qiao, and he was also very famous in the martial world.
Hearing Su Qianhe's rebuke, Fang Qiao sighed and said, "Young Master, you don't know, but when Zhang Su drew his sword just now, I was actually prepared to stop him, but I couldn't..."
"This Zhang Su, although he is an outer disciple of the Guiyuan Sect, I can guarantee that he is definitely not an ordinary disciple. He is probably one of the best among the outer disciples."
"He might even be one of the top ten outer disciples! If you don't believe me, Young Master, you can ask all the guards here. Faced with Zhang Su's sword just now, who could stop him?"
Su Qianhe frowned, his suspicious gaze sweeping over every guard in the council hall.
But wherever his gaze fell, the guards all lowered their heads.
Clearly, they were not confident they could stop Zhang Su's sword just now.
"I've also heard of this Zhang Su. He had a big fight with Zhang Chen before, and it was Zhang Chen who bought a spot with silver to send him to the Guiyuan Sect."
"Could it be that he actually made a name for himself in the Guiyuan Sect?"
Su Qianhe found it somewhat unbelievable.
The Zhang family has all ended up as sons-in-law of the Su family.
How come each one of them is stronger than the last?
Zhang Chen is a prime example.
At first, everyone thought he was a weak son-in-law.
But after marrying into the Su family, he took charge of their business.
In just one year, he managed the Su family's business impeccably, more skillfully than anyone else in the Su family.
Now, there's Zhang Chen's younger brother.
Even joining the Guiyuan Sect requires buying a spot.
And now it seems he's actually achieved something in martial arts?
Are the Zhang family members really this uncanny?
Su Mulan gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Zhang Su has only been practicing martial arts for a year, and he was already too old to join the Guiyuan Sect. How strong can he be?" "
He dared to draw his sword against me today! Tomorrow I'll bring Brother Cheng here and let everyone in the Su family see what a true genius is!"
Su Mulan's words fell, but no one in the council hall responded.
Jiang Cheng?
He is indeed a genius, a genius renowned throughout Qingquan Prefecture.
He also comes from a family of martial arts masters.
They lacked nothing in terms of family background, resources, and cultivation techniques.
"Mu Lan, you haven't married Jiang Cheng yet. Bringing the Jiang family into the Su family so rashly might cause controversy from the eldest branch..."
Su Qianhe said cautiously.
"Controversy? I can't worry about that now. Zhang Su and the eldest branch have been bullying me so much. Can't I complain to Brother Cheng?"
"Besides, if the Zhenyuan Escort Agency loses their goods tomorrow, we'll have to confront the eldest branch. Zhang Su is quite capable; even Uncle Qiao seems to be no match for him. If we don't have someone to keep him in check, how can we confront the eldest branch?"
Su Mu Lan's words made Su Qianhe fall into deep thought.
Although these words were mixed with Su Mu Lan's personal emotions,
the sudden appearance of Zhang Su in the eldest branch was indeed a variable.
Bringing him into the Jiang family ahead of time seemed inevitable!
"Alright, let's go back and report to Father."
So, Su Qianhe quickly left the council hall with his people.
