Chapter 1541: 1541 Qingyue sneak attacks Yuchuan 1

"""No need,"" Fu Chou was unmoved. What he wanted wasn’t money; it was the promise she gave him back when she was following her."

Su Qingyue didn’t insist. The day she settled in, she inspected the two thousand acres of fine fields and several farmhouses and land near the capital that she had previously scoped out. Within just a few days, she purchased everything under the Tianji Pavilion’s name.

In nowadays world, buying fields and house deeds could be done under the name of a gang’s power, just like companies purchase in modern times. Every power’s assets and the command of their people come with unique, irreplaceable tokens. These tokens are specially made, and as long as one has money, nothing is impossible to achieve.

In the spacious hall of the Gongsun Family in the capital city, the nearly fifty-year-old Master Gongsun, Gongsun Xi, sat dignified in the main seat.

A servant hurried in to report, "Master, the Master of the Xiao Family has come with his wife, saying they wish to see you."

"Let them in!"

"Yes."

Soon, Xiao Chonghuan and Shen Yun entered the hall.

"Brother Gongsun, it’s been a long time," Xiao Chonghuan greeted warmly.

Clutching his tea cup, Gongsun Xi seated at the main seat with a cool authority, "I’m not worthy of the title ’brother.’ It seems the Xiao Family no longer regards the Gongsun Family."

He slammed the tea cup down, tea splashing everywhere.

Shen Yun went pale with fright, but being used to grandeur, she quickly calmed down, "My future family-in-law, my husband and I have always had the Gongsun Family in our thoughts."

Gongsun Xi’s expression turned angry yet imposing, "Both our families are first-class families of equal social and economic status. Initially, the arrangement for my daughter, Qianru, to marry your son, Xiao Jingyuan, was a beautiful arrangement. But who would’ve thought Xiao Jingyuan would turn out to be a fake? That notwithstanding, since the impostor is dead, Qianru naturally should marry your biological son, Xiao Yuchuan. Instead, for some country village girl, Su Qingyue, you went as far as to disregard the honor of the Gongsun Family. Now, the whole world knows your son abandoned my daughter Qianru for a village girl!"

"That’s a mistake spread by people of the world," Xiao Chonghuan hurriedly clarified, "Brother Gongsun, the marriage between our two families is solid as steel. I’ve written several letters to inform you that that village girl Su Qingyue will definitely not interfere with Chuan’er and Qianru’s marriage. Brother Gongsun must believe in my sincerity."

Having said that, he commanded the accompanying servant to bring forward two large boxes of gifts, "These modest gifts, along with my personal visit to apologize, are a token of respect."

"Hmph!" Gongsun Xi didn’t even glance at the gifts. With the power of a first-class family, his status was equal to Xiao Chonghuan’s—the difference could not be bridged by mere valuables, "If you really valued the marriage alliance with the Gongsun Family, why is it that only now, two days after arriving in the capital, do you come?"

Of course, the Xiao Chonghuan couple knew that their visit would inevitably entail some flattery, and to prevent the Gongsun Family from showing too much pride, they had deliberately waited for two days.

Shen Yun’s words, however, told a different story, "It’s like this, it’s all due to my weak constitution. Traveling from a desolate place called Longwan Town all the way back to the capital, I became exhausted on the way and fell ill upon returning. Chuan’er was attacked by Su Qingyue and suffered a serious injury, remaining unconscious."

As she spoke, Shen Yun clenched her teeth with resentment, "That despicable woman Su Qingyue, taking advantage of Chuan’er’s leniency towards her, and discontent with the marriage between Chuan’er and Qianru, went on to attack Chuan’er, almost causing his death..."

Her face filled with a sorrowful expression, and she pretended to wipe away tears, "Chuan’er was unconscious the whole way to the capital and only woke up today. As soon as I arrived in the capital I fell ill, and with two people bedridden at home, the master really couldn’t leave. Without even changing my clothes, I took care of them for two days. As soon as I got better, I immediately came with the master to offer our apologies to our future family-in-law."
