Sang Hong waved his hand, signaling the doctor and servants to leave, before saying, "Qian'er, how are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
Sang Qian shook his head: "No, I feel like I'm almost fully recovered, and I'm as strong as an ox."
"That's good. It seems that kid's medicine is really amazing." Sang Hong exclaimed in amazement.
Sang Qian said in a deep voice, "Father, you're not really going to let that kid and the Chu family go, are you?"
He had clearly heard the details of their previous transaction.
Sang Hong smiled without saying a word, while Sang Qian became anxious: "Father, since that batch of salt permits has reappeared in the hands of the Chu family, it proves that the mysterious group of people that night were most likely sent by the Chu family. The reason I was so badly injured was all caused by them. Perhaps Zu An was also involved that night!"
Anger from Sang Qian +444!
Just as Zu'an was about to leave the Sang family's gate, he saw the anger value in the background and thought to himself that he had really saved a wolf in sheep's clothing. So he took the opportunity to pinch Zheng Dan hard twice, and only then did he feel much better.
At this moment, in Sang Qian's bedroom, Sang Hong shook his head and said, "I have conducted a detailed investigation into what happened that night. Those mysterious people are not from the Chu family, but are very likely from the Demonic Sect."
"The Demonic Sect!" Sang Qian was shocked, clearly knowing the meaning behind those two words. After a long silence, he said, "Even if it wasn't done by the Chu family themselves, the fact that the salt permit ended up in the Chu family's hands proves that this matter is inseparable from the Chu family. Most likely, the two sides had been colluding for a long time."
At this point, he couldn't help but get excited: "Father, have you impeached them? Colluding with the Demonic Cult is a serious crime!"
"It's no small matter if it's related to the Demonic Sect. We shouldn't alert them before we have concrete evidence." That's just Sang Hong's nature; he either doesn't act at all, or when he does, he takes the enemy's life.
Originally, these plans to deal with the Chu family had hit their weak points, but who knew that Zu'an would accidentally deflect them all.
"But are we really going to let them go like this?" Sang Qian was very unwilling, worried that his father would really give up. So he thought of a plausible reason, "Father, don't forget that we came out with an imperial order. If we fail to complete the mission, we will definitely be punished when we return."
Seeing his son jumping around in a panic, Sang Hong couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. His son was good in every way, but he was too impulsive. If he had his sister's calmness and resourcefulness, he would have so much less to worry about.
Worried that his emotions might get too agitated and affect his recovery, he quickly said, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. Chu Zhongtian will have a good show to watch when he gets back."
"What's going on?" Sang Qian asked curiously, sensing the hidden meaning in his words.
Sang Hong smiled slightly: "I arranged for the prison guards to casually mention the scandalous rumors about Zu An and Qin Wanru. Chu Zhongtian must have been furious when he heard it. Even if he's magnanimous when he returns to the Chu family, he'll most likely still have a grudge against Zu An."
Sang Qian's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Brilliant! Experience truly matters!"
Sang Hong stroked his beard: "Besides that, I've also prepared another big gift for them..."
Sang Qian was truly in awe. He had often complained about his father's timidity before, but now he understood how precise his timing was and how ruthless his methods were.
However, there was still one thing he was worried about: "Father, you swore before that you would no longer make things difficult for the Chu family and Zu'an. Won't going back on your word like this incur divine retribution?"
Sang Hong's face revealed a meaningful look: "There is actually a lot of room for manipulation when it comes to oaths."
Seeing his son's bewildered expression, Sang Hong sighed inwardly. If his daughter were here, she would have immediately realized what was going on. This son was still a bit lacking in aptitude.
But since the other party was his only son, he could only patiently explain: "The oath I made only said that I would not deal with the Chu family again, but everything I just said was done before I made the oath, so there is no violation of the oath at all."
"Moreover, the Chu family is definitely doomed this time, so I really won't need to deal with them anymore."
Sang Qian laughed heartily: "I'm convinced, Dad, this time I'm truly convinced!"
Sang Hong suddenly said, "I thought dealing with the Chu family would be a piece of cake, but I didn't expect it to cause so much trouble. It's all because of Zu An. He's quite a talent. After the Chu family is destroyed, I'm thinking of recruiting him to my service. If your Qian'er likes him, it's not impossible to make him my son-in-law."
Sang Qian's smile froze instantly, and he immediately said, "Father, what are you talking about? What makes that street urchin so worthy of being my brother-in-law? My sister is such a proud and talented woman, how could she possibly be interested in him!"
Sang Hong frowned: "Don't let hatred blind you. You need to learn to see the enemy's strengths."
Sang Qian snorted: "Anyway, I don't care. I will never approve of this brother-in-law. My sister has so many suitors in the capital. Does she need to give herself to him? He's just a live-in son-in-law of the Chu family."
Sang Hong smiled and said, "What you said makes sense. Let's talk about this later. If I'm not mistaken, he probably won't agree to work for me."
"By the way, your wedding with Miss Zheng should have been held in the next couple of days, right? Anyway, everything is already ready. We originally planned to hold a wedding to bring you good luck, but your condition was too bad at the time, and we didn't dare to move you at all. Now that you're better, let's celebrate with this wedding." Sang Hong sighed that Zheng Dan was truly a lucky star for the Sang family. They had only talked about bringing good luck, and before they had even officially held the wedding ceremony, their son's illness had already been cured.
So, for good luck, he hoped the wedding would be completed as soon as possible.
