Divide the property?
Su Liluo almost burst out laughing when she saw the shameless face of the second wife. What property did they have to divide?
“Yes, let’s divide the property. Now that the family has been divided, you should also give my son the property that belongs to our second wife. In addition, as your nominal legal mother, you should also give me a sum of alimony.”
Madam Su then spoke with a self-righteous air.
She used her status as Su Zhen's nominal legal mother to blackmail him quite a bit.
Previously, the reason why Su Zhen disliked them repeatedly but did not cause a family split, and the reason why Su Liluo did not mention that Su Zhen took the initiative to split the family with them, was also because of this.
Even if she wasn't Su Zhen's biological mother, she was still his legal mother in name. If Su Zhen took the initiative to separate from this legal mother and kick them out, it would damage his reputation in Daliang, a place that values filial piety.
Now that Su Liluo and the others have finally found such a good opportunity to get Old Madam Su to take the initiative to propose dividing the family property, she is naturally very happy.
However, being happy doesn't mean she'll ask her father to give them money.
"Madam Su, do you still have any property left to divide? Before my father returned, you had already squandered all the property left by the Su family and my grandfather."
The Su family mansion and all the gold and silver treasures inside were bestowed upon my father by the Emperor. What does it have to do with you? Do you even have the right to a share?
Oh, right, strictly speaking, you still owe my father a sum of money! My father should have had a share of the Su family's assets that you squandered, but did you give them to him?
Should I have someone calculate how much money you owe my father? Then I can have you write an IOU so you can pay it back later?
Su Liluo analyzed and recalled things for them bit by bit.
As they listened, the expressions on Old Madam Su's and Su Yu's faces changed little by little.
yes!
How could they have forgotten about this!
Strictly speaking, it really is just as that bitch Su Liluo said!
However, even so, they were still resentful whenever they thought about Su Zhen living in the grand mansion of the Su family and the gold and silver treasures bestowed upon him by the Emperor!
They selfishly believed that anything belonging to the Su family should belong to them!
"Then...as your father's legal mother, shouldn't he give me...amorance?"
Madam Su looked embarrassed and glanced at Su Zhen again, feeling guilty.
She wasn't really sure Su Zhen would give her alimony, since she hadn't treated him well since they were children.
When she used to manage the backyard, she always gave the best things to her own children first. As for Su Zhen, sometimes he wouldn't get a new piece of clothing for a whole year.
As expected, Su Zhen couldn't help but sneer when he heard her asking him for alimony.
"Don't you have a son? Who is your son? Who are you asking for alimony from? You're asking me for alimony, does that mean you're still my legal mother? Well then, when it comes time to exterminate your entire family, you better not hide!"
"!!!"
Madam Su: How could she forget this?
That won't do; she doesn't want to get her head chopped off!
"Yes, my father is right. Since you want to cut ties with us completely, then don't ask us for anything. My father will only give money to his relatives. If you want it, you have to acknowledge your own identity."
At this moment, Su Liluo, who was standing to the side, also chimed in.
This was the first time she felt that her father had been smart enough to finally stop being blackmailed by that disgusting second wife.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu and the others naturally stopped asking them for anything else.
After all, compared to life and death, this money is nothing.
"Since you're so stingy and heartless, then forget it. If you don't want it, then don't. Son, let's go!"
No more words were spoken, and she turned to pull Su Yu and the others away.
"Be careful when you leave, don't take anything from my father. Everything you eat, live in, and use belongs to him. If you take even one thing, you will be punished when his entire family is exterminated!"
Su Liluo added gleefully.
Su Yu and the others gritted their teeth in anger, "Don't worry, we'll leave empty-handed, without taking anything with us!"
snort!
Anyway, after you die, everything in the Su family will return to me. I'll let you be smug for a few days now!
Su Yu, along with his mother and Su Lianwu, left the Su residence in a huff.
Su Liluo coldly watched their retreating figures, inwardly scoffing.
The reason I didn't continue to demand the money they owed his father today was twofold: firstly, all the money had returned to me, and secondly, they wouldn't live much longer.
After waiting for so long, we've finally got the chance to wipe them out.

"Son, we're out now. Where are we going to stay tonight?"
After Su Yu and his companions left the Su residence penniless, Old Madam Su began to worry about this problem.
Su Lianwu originally wanted to suggest going to a house he rented outside the city, but Su Yu spoke first.
"Since we are now serving the Prince of Chu, and have been driven out of the Su residence, we should naturally seek refuge with the Prince of Chu. Besides, isn't Wan Shi now the Prince's concubine?"
"Let's go find the prince and ask him to give us a courtyard to stay in. That shouldn't be too difficult!"
"Yes, you're right. The Prince's mansion is definitely much grander and more luxurious than this Su mansion! Humph! They think they can watch us suffer after kicking us out. Let's go to the Prince's mansion and enjoy ourselves!"
When Madam Su heard that they were going to see Prince Chu, she immediately thought that Prince Chu was, after all, a prince, and his mansion must be much better than the Su family's.
So the three of them headed towards the Chu King's residence.
“Your Highness, we have moved out of the Su family's residence, and your plan can now proceed. Here is the evidence we have provided regarding Jiang Ruan's identity.”
Su Yu spoke respectfully to Xiao Churen, then took out an ancient handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Churen.
"What's this?"
Xiao Churen took the handkerchief, glanced at it, and asked curiously.
"Your Highness, this is the handkerchief that Jiang Ruan used to carry with her. If you look closely, you will find that this handkerchief is different from the ones used by women in our Great Liang."
"Is that all? Just proving she's from the Northern Desert isn't enough. We need evidence that she was a messenger for the Northern Desert. Do you have that?"
"Your Highness, I can imitate Jiang Ruan's handwriting."
Why didn't you say so earlier?
Xiao Churen became excited.
But if there were letters, things would be different.
Su Yu smiled faintly, "Isn't this to give Your Highness a surprise? I'll write some down for Your Highness now, and in a couple of days, when you attend court, Your Highness can use this evidence to convict them."
But now that we've been driven out, we have nowhere to go. I wonder if Your Highness could make some arrangements?
