Chapter 305 Killing Without Shedding Blood
Winter days are short; two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Before New Year's Eve, Lin Anyuan had roughly unified Jiangnan.
When the news broke, Lin Anyuan's reputation spread throughout the land.
Lin Anyuan, the most formidable figure under Prince Jing, is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and possesses some extremely mysterious items. Dressed in blood, he is like the reincarnation of Yama, becoming the nightmare of countless noble families.
It was at this time that the An family, a group of frail old men, finally returned home.
Ruthless, truly ruthless.
Lin Anyuan is indeed a heartless man; he left them hanging in the house for two months without them even seeing a single person.
Not only do they refuse to see them, but they also won't let them go back. They can't even pretend to be sick; if they are sick, they'll call a doctor for them.
If you get hungry, just buy yourself some food. You can eat whatever you want, as long as you pay for it.
At first, the old men could spend money as they pleased and eat whatever they wanted. But later, when they ran out of money, they pawned all their clothes and put them in coarse linen.
The food was barely edible, but they wouldn't starve.
An Dehai had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life in the An family, but he compromised in order to have enough to eat.
Wearing a cotton outfit, An Dehai looked no different from any other elderly man. When he returned home, he seemed to have lost all his energy.
Looking at the dilapidated state of the An family gate in such a short time, he couldn't help but sigh.
This grandson didn't meet with them at all from beginning to end; he really showed them no mercy whatsoever.
Despite his verbal complaints, An Dehai was still quite proud inside.
At least Lin Anyuan didn't harm anyone from the An family; he didn't kill anyone, which means there's still hope.
An Dehai always felt that it was okay to vent one's anger when you're young.
Once they've vented their anger and can reclaim their ancestral roots, the An family will remain an unshakeable powerful clan in Jiangnan, and even Prince Jing wouldn't dare to act rashly.
When An Dehai entered, there wasn't a single servant at the door, and he immediately frowned.
It was quiet after entering, and there wasn't a single person in sight along the way; it was quite desolate.
As they approached the main hall, a woman walked towards them. An Dehai frowned instantly. "Didn't I tell you to go to the estate? Why are you still here?"
"Father-in-law, please don't rush to send me away. If you keep me here, I can still take care of An Yan. The family can't even afford servants anymore. Besides, where does the An family have a estate now?" Su Yan'er's tone was as sarcastic as could be.
The servants either ran away or were sold off, ruining Anjia's entire business.
Anjia is now just an empty box.
An Yan lay on the bed like a useless person. The whole family lived on the little left over from pawning. Was there any room for this family to despise her?
"What did you say?"
An Dehai looked at the people who came out one after another, and there were only his own descendants, no one else.
"You don't know yet, do you? Your illegitimate son gave away all the family wealth. Otherwise, how could we have saved our whole family's lives? Hahahaha! You deserved to keep that bastard child alive. It's retribution!"
An Dehai's mind went blank for a moment, and he fell backward.
"father!"
"Quickly, someone get a doctor!"
"The patriarch is dead!"
"Su Yan'er, you're a slut's nemesis! You killed my mother and are going to kill my father too! Where did you put all those things in my house? Did the Su family take them away?!"
"..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I have to say, you're really a killer without shedding blood. You've angered another one to death. I wonder who'll be next."
Chu Xiujie ate his candied chestnuts, looking Lin Anyuan up and down as if trying to find a flower in his face.
"This is their own family matter, what does it have to do with me?" Lin Anyuan was writing a letter.
He wanted to write a letter to Wanwan.
"Yes, yes, it's okay, it has nothing to do with you. By the way, it's almost Chinese New Year, when are you going back?" Chu Xiujie thought to himself.
I was locked up here for two months. When I got back, the sky fell down. I was so angry and upset that I couldn't breathe. It's because I had no connection to them at all.
If other families are allowed to suppress and plunder Anjia's resources, without an economic foundation, those people will be like caged birds and beasts, only torturing and wearing each other down until they die in despair.
This is worse than a quick and painless cut.
Whether others know it or not, Chu Xiujie has learned one thing: you can't offend Lin Anyuan, no matter who you offend.
"Before New Year's Eve." Lin Anyuan slowly wrote each character as beautifully as possible.
She discovered that Ye Wan liked anything beautiful—beautiful people, beautiful handwriting, beautiful scenery…
Chu Xiujie plopped down in the chair next to him, unable to bear the cheesy words any longer. He deliberately reminded him, "You're dreaming! You think you can just abandon this huge mess and walk away?"
No one else has Lin Anyuan's abilities.
"Isn't this all there? You're the Lord's confidant, so I'll leave this to you." Lin Anyuan put down his pen, thought for a moment, then picked it up again and drew a small picture on it.
After looking at it again, I wasn't satisfied, so I tore it up and rewrote it.
Chu Xiujie chuckled. "I'm telling you, Mr. Lin, I must have owed you something in my past life. It's bad enough that I have to do all those dirty things for you, but now I have to be your slave. Please, have some decency."
He doesn't want to stay. What's so good about Jiangnan? It's cold and damp, and his rheumatism is about to flare up.
The two were talking when Da Ya arrived.
"Father, I want to rent a school and establish a girls' school in Jiangnan."
This is the purpose of Da Ya's trip to Jiangnan.
Talented men are said to come from Jiangnan, and she wants Jiangnan to produce talented women.
"Little girl, the idea is good, but you're taking it too seriously. It might not be feasible." Chu Xiujie really didn't want to discourage Daya.
This girl has been keeping a low profile lately; it turns out she's been pondering this matter.
Studying as a girl sounds easy, but it's actually quite difficult.
"How will we know if we don't try?" Da Ya looked at Chu Xiujie.
Chu Xiujie immediately handed over the candied chestnuts.
Daya: ...
She didn't say she wanted to eat.
...
...
Da Ya doesn't eat chestnuts, but King Jing does.
Right now, he's personally roasting chestnuts for Lin Suying around the charcoal brazier.
Upon receiving the letter, he immediately stood up and happily spun around a few times.
"Our son is the best! Hahaha, Yiyi, you really gave me a wonderful son!"
The Jiangnan region is abundant in water, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. King Jing had made preparations and planned to take down this tough nut in three to five years, but unexpectedly, it was conquered in just over half a year.
How could he not be happy?
