"Brother, you should send her away. I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it if something happens again!"

Su Changshui looked at Su Chang'an with a hint of sarcasm.

Su Changsheng remained silent, but after careful consideration, he also felt that Su Changshui's words made sense.

Each and every one of these things is heading towards a bad outcome.

They were at a loss. Although she was in the Su family mansion, her heart was not with the Su family. They had no benefit in taking care of her. Wasn't that just asking for trouble?

"We can't send her away. She'd rather die in our house."

Su Chang'an firmly refused; his head started to ache again.

"Is our winery alright?"

Su Changsheng suddenly asked nervously.

The family's only source of income is now gone, leaving only the winery. If there's anything else bad that could happen, Su Changsheng could only think of the winery.

Upon hearing this, both Su Chang'an and Su Changshui looked solemn.

Su Changshui muttered, "There haven't been any problems reported from the winery..."

But for some reason, I felt incredibly panicked.

Su Chang'an's expression was also not good. He said in a deep voice, "I will go and inspect it myself. Second Brother should rest and recuperate first."

Su Chang'an couldn't wait any longer and immediately turned around and left.

After he left, Su Changshui closed the door.

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Su Changsheng calmed down and listened attentively.

...

Su Chang'an left the mansion and headed straight for the outskirts of the city.

He visited the winery and found everything was fine.

But his unease did not disappear, so he called the steward to ask if there was anything unusual.

"My lord, everything is fine. The new wine is ready, would you like to try some?"

The steward inquired obsequiously, knowing full well that he knew his master had come and should fawn over him.

Su Chang'an nodded: "Try it."

The wine brewed with this water has a naturally pure and mellow aroma, and it became very popular as soon as it was sold. It was supplied to all the major restaurants in Liuzhou City, and it was their most profitable business.

Su Chang'an took a sip and spat it out. His face changed drastically, and he said in a grim and panicked voice, "Have all the others been opened? Scoop them all out..."

The manager turned pale with fright; if there was something wrong with the wine, he was finished...

Rows of neatly arranged large wine vats, all containing this batch of new wine, which will be delivered to the city for supply in a few days.

If something goes wrong, it will be like the sky falling down.

Su Chang'an felt the same way. He had originally held onto a sliver of hope, but after experiencing it, he was filled with despair.

He couldn't stand up and collapsed to the ground, clutching his head in anguish: "How could this happen, how could this happen..."

The wine still smelled of wine, but there was a foul odor mixed in with it, and it no longer had the mellow and sweet aftertaste it used to have.

For those who appreciate fine wine, this is no less than eating shit. If they drink such wine, they won't even praise it; they'll smash up the shop.

What went wrong?

With bloodshot eyes, Su Chang'an grabbed the steward and pulled him up: "How did you manage to keep watch? Who did it? Who was it?"

"Chang'an, I'm your fourth uncle..."

The middle-aged man was so frightened that he even revealed his identity.

Su Chang'an looked terrifying at that moment. He knew he had definitely caused trouble, but they were relatives.

Su Chang'an angrily released him, and like a mad beast, he headed towards the water source.

Behind him were his fourth uncle, third uncle, seventh uncle, and various other relatives, all following him in a panic.

When they arrived at the water source, Su Chang'an's eyes were practically spitting fire.

"Don't you patrol every day?"

The once clear pond has long been covered with a layer of dark green sludge, and even the aquatic plants have all died.

The water pipe installed by the Su family was also covered with a layer of sludge. How could brew wine with such water possibly taste good?

Su Chang'an is going crazy.

His head was throbbing with pain, and he felt dizzy. He pounded his head in agony and yelled, "Ah—!"

Everyone was terrified. They looked at each other, but couldn't utter a single word.

Everything's been fine for the past few years, who knew something like this would happen?

Laziness is an unspoken understanding in everyone's hearts, but now they are all dumbfounded.

"Who did it? Who did it?"

"Useless trash, what are you standing there for? Search! Search the entire area within a ten-mile radius..."

Su Chang'an was in so much pain and anger that even his roars became weak.

He was panting heavily, and his eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at everyone. He had brought them a good life, but how had these people repaid him?

Everything the Su family could generate money from was gone...

The family is now as poor as ever...

Su Chang'an fell heavily to the ground, causing gasps of surprise from the crowd.

Everyone hurriedly carried him down the mountain.

Su Chang'an felt even heavier. As darkness fell, he numbly asked the person returning, "Have you found out?"

"We've found it..."

"There's a place on the back cliff where a certain type of tree was planted at some point, and the surrounding area is full of rotten leaves and roots... Every time it rains, the water seeps into the ground, polluting the water source... The water used for brewing this time was taken half a month ago, and now the water is even more foul-smelling..."

After a long investigation, the result was that the water source was damaged, and all the contaminated water, including those that hadn't even been opened yet, would have the same outcome.

The damage to the water source was not recent; it had been tampered with several months ago.

Su Chang'an stared blankly at the ceiling, his head throbbing so badly he wanted to die.

The sound of a horse-drawn carriage could be heard outside.

People came out to investigate.

It turned out to be Su Changsheng and Su Changshui.

Su Changsheng and Su Changshui came to check on Su Chang'an because they were worried that something had happened since he hadn't returned. Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, both of them felt a chill run down their spines.

"What happened?"

Su Changshui asked worriedly.

"The water source has been destroyed, so the newly produced wine is no longer safe to drink..."

The leader sighed.

Both Su Changsheng and Su Changsheng swayed.

Su Chang'an emerged from the house with a gloomy expression, and without even glancing at the two of them, got into the carriage.

Su Changsheng and Su Changshui had no choice but to return to the carriage.

The three brothers remained silent throughout the journey.

After returning to the Su residence, Su Chang'an went directly to Qin Jin'an's courtyard.

They dragged her out of her sleep again.

Qin Jin'an yawned, his hair a mess: "Scumbag dad, what's up?"

Su Chang'an knelt down in anguish, but Qin Jin'an subtly avoided him.

If you're not facing her directly, then you're not kneeling to her. Let that scumbag dad kneel if he wants.

Qin Jin'an smiled broadly; she was happy that her scumbag father was in trouble.

"I was wrong before, but I truly love you. How can you let me go?"

Su Chang'an's eyes were bloodshot, and his tone was filled with sorrow.

Qin Jin'an looked at Su Chang'an and said with a smile, "I didn't harm you. I'm a good kid. There will be retribution for doing things that harm others. Look at me, I eat well and sleep well. I haven't suffered any retribution."

When she truly cast the curse, that was when she truly received her retribution.

Being unable to walk or being half-dead are both forms of punishment.

But she hasn't done anything yet; all the bad things the Su family has done are their own fault.

What you sow, you reap; it has nothing to do with her.
