Hearing Su Yuechen's words, Su Changyun's breathing couldn't help but stagnate. According to ancient rules, even the illegitimate children of the head of the family can obtain inheritance rights under special circumstances.
However, the illegitimate daughter forcing the head of the family to abdicate early was a first in the Su family, and even in other prominent families, such a thing was truly rare. Even though Su Yuechen had only whispered to her and hadn't openly discussed it in public.
If it weren't for the strength displayed by Su Yuechen, Su Changyun would have walked away at this moment.
Su Changyun hesitated for a moment, suppressed his shock, and said in a voice transmission: "This is a violation of the Su family's ancestral precepts. All the elders in this clan ancestral hall will not agree to your request. Moreover, the Li family that Li Xiangyu came from is not as simple as you think."
"I'm afraid there are more reasons than just these. The elders also have considerable doubts about me. Well..." Xu Xianxian pondered for a moment, not being aggressive. "Then let's resolve the matter at hand first, and I'll discuss the rest with the elders later."
The territory of Karl Grand Cross is vast. This planet is far larger than the Earth in terms of gravity, size, population base and number of strong people. It is just unclear which one is higher than the Earth compared to the world of Avalon.
The size of a world's status is easy to distinguish, that is, whether there is a throne of the true God. As long as there is a throne, it means that the Great Cross of Karl is at least a higher world.
But Xu Xianxian is now completely in the dark and has no understanding of this planet. In addition, her strength level is not high, so she naturally will not be foolish enough to make enemies everywhere. The power and connections under her command are extremely necessary.
Su Changyun, the supreme elder of the Su family, was the first breakthrough point. This person was quite powerful and was considered the best master in Wuliu City. He was also a prestigious elder in Fengwu Province.
"First, we need to gain Su Changyun's trust, and then make full use of the Su family's resources, which will be a piece of cake."
Xu Xianxian closed her eyes and sat lazily in the chair, but in her mind she was thinking about how to use the convenience of her family and connections to help her collect potions that could restore her true spirit.
Legendary fairies have some exemptions from the rules, so not all medicines can heal the wounds on their true spirits. They must be extremely precious treasures from heaven and earth.
With the strength of the tenth level of Dark True Soul Art, it is obviously unrealistic to search alone on the Gravity Continent, but with the resources, property, and intelligence network of the family, the chance of collecting the secret medicine materials is many times higher.
Li Xiangyu's suppressed curses could still be heard from the side, but Xu Xianxian ignored it. In front of everyone, she thought that the eldest lady would not dare to commit suicide.
After a while, when all the people arrived, the Su family held the first clan meeting of the year.
And the targets are the wife and children of the head of the family.
With three loud dings of the bronze bell, the atmosphere in the room grew solemn and serious. Everyone stopped talking. Su Changyun stood up from his seat, coughed twice, and got straight to the point. "The applicant for this meeting...is Su Yuechen. She wants to sue Li Xiangyu for murdering her biological mother."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room was in an uproar, but Su Changyun didn't say anything more. Instead, he directly threw out the crystal that stored part of Su Yuechen's memory.
The crystal was bright and transparent. When Su Changyun injected his magic power into it, the eldest lady's confidant emerged from it and forced the poisoned wine into Su Yuechen's mother's mouth. The middle-aged woman in the light curtain wailed for a while, and then she completely died due to the festering all over her body.
This method is extremely insidious and cruel, and judging from the background, it happened in the Su Mansion.
"...Is the woman in the light curtain Su Yuechen's mother?" Everyone present was silent for a moment, their expressions varied. A middle-aged man stood up and asked with a quizzical look on his face, "Grand Elder, I've heard of Su Yuechen. She's just the patriarch's illegitimate daughter. Her biological mother was a lowly maid who was lucky enough to have the patriarch's one-night stand."
"Madam Li Xiangyu is the mistress of the Su Mansion and bears the medal of nobility. Even if she killed a maid, according to the laws of the Yuehua Kingdom, a nobleman who kills an innocent civilian is only fined fifty gold coins. Not to mention a maid who has already surrendered her indenture, whose life and death are handled by her master. Even if she accidentally kills her, she won't be held responsible."
Commoners were freemen. A noble who killed a freeman violated aristocratic law and was fined fifty Moonhua gold coins. The average worker's annual income was only one Moonhua gold coin, equivalent to one hundred Moonhua silver coins. This fine was already quite high, and if a noble refused to pay, they would be wanted and sentenced to prison.
However, a maid who had signed a contract to sell herself was not a free person, but rather a slave, a private property. Her life and death were not protected by the laws of the kingdom, and her master could kill her at will.
This is something that everyone attending the meeting knows, but since the Supreme Elder is able to preside over it personally, it means that the matter is not as simple as it seems.
"She is not an ordinary maid, but my mother."
Xu Xianxian had originally closed her eyes, but when she heard these words, she suddenly opened them. A bright white light emanated from her eyes, illuminating the entire ancestral hall like daylight, and there was a faint sense of electric current flowing and bursting in the air.
It is clearly night outside now. Although the room is brightly lit, it is completely different from the bright lights during the day.
This is the power generated by an empty room. Just the overflow of gaze can change the light source structure of the outside world.
The middle-aged elder who had just spoken was pointing in the direction of Su Yuechen. When he was caught by this gaze, he immediately felt an unbearable stinging pain in his eyes. He could not see anything in his eyes, only endless darkness.
Tears flowed down involuntarily, and the magic power flowing in the eyes almost stagnated, and could not be repaired in time.
"Ah...ah...my eyes..."
Faced with this sudden situation, the middle-aged elder could not help but cover his eyes tightly and screamed loudly.
"Moondust!"
When the Supreme Elder saw this scene, he immediately frowned and stared closely at where Xu Xianxian was.
No matter what, he really had no means to counter Su Yuechen, but he also didn't want the other party to take action in such a place.
"Don't worry, Grand Elder. It's just temporary blindness." Xu Xianxian waved her hand, glanced around, and under Wu Gongsheng's somewhat guilty gaze, she directly raised her finger and said, "Sir, this elder is feeling unwell. I'd like you to take him to see a doctor."
This Wu Gongsheng was one of the witnesses in the morning, and naturally knew Su Yuechen's terrifying strength. He was standing at the door checking on him, but was stopped by Xu Xianxian. At this time, he had no choice but to get Su Changyun's nod, bite the bullet and go in, and then take the blind elder away.
The behavior of Wu Gongfeng and Su Changyun changed the expressions of the other elders, and they looked at Su Yuechen with disbelief in their eyes.
