CHAPTER 836: CHAPTER 840: MASTER’S MIGHT (18)

Su Bingchao asked in a deep voice, "It seems like the last time we sent someone over to pick her up, she said the same thing."

For a while, everyone present was silent.

Has Young Mrs. Su developed an outsider’s interest?

Apart from Su Qing, the one who understood the least was Mrs. Su.

Logically speaking, she couldn’t claim to be excessively good to her daughter-in-law, but she was certainly very good.

She didn’t require her to attend to her morning and evening duties, didn’t need her to serve the in-laws, wouldn’t interfere with her son’s affairs within his own courtyard, and strictly didn’t allow maids to be stuffed into their courtyard. Not to mention torturing her daughter-in-law.

Such a mother-in-law, perhaps no second one could be found in the entire city.

Previously, her daughter-in-law was always respectful to her, who could have thought that she would suddenly act like a madwoman with such a move. How did the Su Family wrong her?

Su Li suddenly spoke to Su Qing, "Ah Qing, when you went to your father-in-law’s mansion, did you see any strange or unfamiliar people?"

"No...." Su Qing was about to say, all the Xu Family members he had seen before.

But suddenly, that person’s figure flashed in his mind.

"I saw from afar my brother-in-law leading a man dressed as a Taoist into the study...."

Su Bingchao said, "When did the Xu Family start believing in Taoism? It’s really strange."

"Isn’t their old lady a devout Buddhist? Every year, when the year-end approaches, she’d send people to visit the daughter-in-law.... The donations to the Buddhist temple almost cover the living expenses of an ordinary family for several years."

Obviously, the Su Family people were not unaware of the daughter’s-in-law supplementing her maiden family.

But the Su Family was wealthy and didn’t care about such things.

Su Qing, on the other hand, looked greatly affected, his face turned red with embarrassment, "I, I truly had no idea.... How could she, how could she do this."

The fragile heart of the nephew couldn’t be ignored, Su Li said to her foster brother, "Keep an eye on the Xu Family."

Su Bingchao didn’t even ask for a reason, he just agreed directly.

Anyway, this couple always felt that whatever Su Li said was good and reasonable.

If previously, it was merely because they inherited the benefits from the original actions that brought them to the Su Family to avoid their doom, now.... there was a bit of true sincerity involved.

She was always particularly generous to those who protected her.

Seeing this couple became more pleasing to her eyes, the direct way to express it was with a grand gesture.

A pile of bottles and jars, Immortal Flowers and Spiritual Grass appeared in the hall, filling the spacious room so tightly it became narrow.

"Brother, Sister-in-law, pick any you like." Anyway, all these things were plundered from Su Xuan.

He was raised by the Su Residence, thus using some material compensation, it was only fitting.

Su Bingchao’s sharp eyes immediately discerned that these things were good, they might even be useful for his little sister.

"No need for formality, these are Su Xuan’s compensation to the Su Residence.... I previously forgot, otherwise I would have given them to you earlier."

"That’s rightful." Mentioning Su Xuan made Su Bingchao grit his teeth in regret.

"This Dead Wood Spring is suitable for Sister-in-law to use, and the golden cicada armor, thin and light, Brother can wear underneath your clothes...."

Sorting out the pile of things, Su Li timely asked, "Is the marriage contract between me and Su Xuan still kept?"

"It’s stored well by our parents."

"Sister, do you intend to?"

Su Li smiled and said: "Su Xuan and I have no fate left, keeping that marriage paper is useless, it’s better to destroy it.... As for the government documents, I would trouble Brother with it."

Su Bingchao pounded his chest, promising, "I will ensure this matter is handled perfectly for you."

Su Li suddenly remembered; although she had left a divorce paper for Su Xuan, in the mortal world, their marriage papers were still valid.

To sever, it must be cleanly severed, thinking that the original intent was also to avoid further ties with Su Xuan.

----------------

The spy sent by the Su Residence reported that the Taoist Su Qing saw that day frequently visited the Xu Mansion and Yan Residence, and they even discovered sneaky servants from both residences near the Su Residence.

Su Bingchao’s face was grave, Su Qing sat at the lower seat, not daring to breathe.

Although it wasn’t his fault, he felt guilty and reproached.

"Madam, let Fei’er return, I need to ask her."

Now things are looking increasingly complex, not just the Xu Mansion, even the Yan Residence is involved. That mysterious Taoist too.

The people sent by the Su Family to investigate couldn’t find any information about them; whenever they tried to delve deeper, those people directly lost contact, it seemed ominous.

While not knowing what the Xu Mansion and Yan Residence are plotting, it’s certain that their intentions are hostile.

The news brought back by the nanny sent to the Yan Residence was that they refuse to free Fei’er.

"Husband, what should we do...." Mrs. Su was anxiously pacing around.

Su Qing clenched his fists, "Mother, don’t worry, I will go bring my sister back."

"Bang...." A blood-soaked, unrecognizable mass was thrown at Su Bingchao’s feet from outside.

Mrs. Su, who had never seen such a gruesome scene, was almost terrified to faint.

Su Qing immediately stepped forward to block everyone, tensely shouting: "Who is it?"

"Hahahahaha... You are quite keen, I didn’t intend to act so quickly, but plans couldn’t keep up with changes."

"Since you’ve discovered us early, it is your fate."

"Today, your fate is sealed, hand over the Immortal Pill in your possession, and I will leave you a whole corpse."

A long-bearded Taoist descended from the sky, lightly tapping his foot, he stood atop the thin branches ten meters high.

"It’s you...." Su Qing pointed at the Taoist and shouted.

"It seems the young friend has seen me."

Unlike the Su Family who were on high alert, Su Li lazily reclined on the chair, lightly tapping her toe, she even had the leisure to peel a grape for herself.

"Brother, Sister-in-law, there’s no need to worry, I’m here."

Su Li’s words made the long-bearded Taoist realize that behind the Su Family, there was a remarkably beautiful woman hiding.

His eyes glowed with a lecherous light, his gaze roamed over Su Li unscrupulously, as if he was about to strip her clothes.

"Presumptuous... If you keep staring, I’ll gouge your eyes out." Su Bingchao was furious, wishing to tear this disgusting creature to pieces.

The long-bearded Taoist chuckled horridly, "I’ve been itching for a long time due to Fei’er Su’s renowned beauty, only to be upstaged by that Yan kid, although he promised to give me Su Fei’er for play later, I’m still dissatisfied. But fortunately, heaven treats me favorably, for the Su Residence hides such a beauty."

"Far superior to Su Fei’er a thousandfold...."

"Beauty, if you agree to be with me, I’ll spare your life."
