Chapter 1045: The whole story
Of course, everything Tang Bao knew was found out by Xuanyuan Jin.
"Dad, my great-grandmother wasn't a lady from an aristocratic family, but a chivalrous woman from the Jianghu." Tang Bao said crisply, "Back then, the old man from the Su family was traveling around to study. He encountered robbers on the road and was poisoned and injured. Fortunately, my great-grandmother risked her life to save him..."
In fact, this is a melodramatic story of a man who saved his life and pledged his love for his loved one.
However, the one who insisted on marrying herself to him was not Tang Bao’s great-grandmother, but the old man of the Su family.
When Tang Bao said this, her expression became a little strange and her tone became a little meaningful.
"I heard that the old man of the Su family at that time was not the most brilliant among the many children of the Su family. On the contrary, he was a bit mediocre."
“It’s just that after the old man of the Su family was rescued by my great-grandmother, he quickly became extraordinary.”
"Because the old master of the Su family swore to heaven that he would not marry anyone other than the great-grandmother..."
"Later, my great-grandmother was moved by the sincerity of the Su family's old master. She married him in a low-key manner, bringing with her a dowry of several hundred thousand taels of silver..."
"It was only after my great-grandmother married into the Su family that she learned that the then-chief of the Su family, a high-ranking official, had a deficit of several hundred thousand taels of silver. If this deficit could not be filled, the entire family would be destroyed..."
"Grandmother used her own dowry to fill the Su family's deficit and preserve the family's reputation. At the same time, she also secured the position of successor to the Su family's Patriarch for the old man, as well as the support of all the Su family's resources, laying the foundation for his meteoric rise to prominence..."
Following Tang Bao's words, everyone showed shocked expressions.
No one knew that the Su family had such a past.
As for why a woman from the Jianghu would have a dowry of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, Tang Bao did not say.
There is no way, because Xuanyuan Jin couldn't find out.
Xuanyuan Jin only found out that Tang Bao's great-grandmother had a mysterious identity and came from the most mysterious sect in the world - Shenyin Villa.
The others could not be found.
After all, it has been so many years, and it is quite difficult to find these things.
Others may have been lost in the long river of history with the passage of time.
"It turns out that the old man of the Su family stood out from the many sons of the Su family with the help of his wife's money!" Mr. Zhou stood in the crowd and shouted in shock.
As soon as Mr. Zhou finished speaking, the people around him all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
I see!
Tang Bao naturally recognized Mr. Zhou's voice, and once again sighed that Mr. Zhou was quick-witted and was the best at supporting the main character.
The old man of the Su family's face turned red.
He looked like someone had stripped his underwear off.
"Shut up! That's nonsense!" shouted the old man of the Su family.
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him.
Everyone was waiting to hear Tang Bao continue telling the story.
Since there are so many people supporting her, Tang Bao will certainly not let everyone down.
"Alas! It's a pity that my great-grandmother passed away soon after giving birth to my grandfather." Tang Bao shook her head and said with regret, "It really is true that good people don't live long, but evil people leave a legacy for thousands of years."
As soon as Tang Bao said this, everyone looked at the old man of the Su family with various meanings.
Indeed! The age of the old man of the Su family can be considered a rare longevity in today's world.
When the old man of the Su family faced Tang Bao, his face finally stopped being full of relief, as the Su family finally had a daughter.
"You, you...are a traitor! You are disobedient and unfilial..." The old man of the Su family pointed at Tang Bao and shouted with his face flushed.
Tang Bao looked at the old man of the Su family and said innocently, "Old man, you and I have nothing to do with each other. Stop putting accusations on me. It's useless. It was you who personally removed my father from the Su family's genealogy!"
As soon as Tang Bao finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar again.
It turned out that the father of the young genius doctor was expelled from the Su family by the old man.
Everyone understood why Old Man Su and his family were no longer listed in the Su family genealogy.
"No wonder the descendants of the Su family are becoming less and less capable. It turns out that the most capable branch was removed from the family tree!"
"They mistook the fish eyes for pearls, while the real pearls were discarded. No wonder a family that has lived for a hundred years has become increasingly decadent..."
“That’s right…”
The Su family members who were compared to fish eyes all blushed with shame.
They wanted to refute, but when they saw that it was Lao Wu, the newly crowned champion, they lost their confidence.
The old man of the Su family looked at Tang Bao and gasped in anger.
"How could a little girl like you know what happened back then? It's pure nonsense!" said the old man of the Su family angrily.
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, Old Master Su knows it best." Tang Bao said calmly, "Why rush to deny it? Why not listen to me finish my story?"
"Yes, yes! Tell us quickly! What happened next?" Mr. Zhou shouted.
Tang Bao secretly decided to go back and give Mr. Zhou a higher salary.
"Then, less than a hundred days after my great-grandmother passed away, the old master of the Su family, who had been deeply in love with my great-grandmother and had always claimed that he would marry no one else, remarried with great fanfare—a noblewoman of equal status as his second wife..."
"Compared to the low-key first marriage of the Su family's old master, this time's marriage was extremely high-profile. To the point that many wealthy families in the capital didn't even know that the Su family's old master had been married before and had a deceased wife. They only regarded his second wife as his original wife..."
Everyone can imagine the following words without Tang Bao saying them.
The legitimate son left by the original wife, that is, Tang Bao's grandfather, must have become a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh of some people.
Tang Bao’s deceased great-grandmother’s traces would naturally be deliberately erased.
So, over time, not only outsiders, but even many members of the Su family gradually forgot that Tang Bao's grandfather was the real eldest master of the Su family.
The story is very plain, so plain that it can even be heard from a storybook.
However, it is precisely because of its ordinariness that people feel it is real.
"Grandpa Su, my grandfather's existence constantly reminds you where everything you have came from." Tang Bao looked at the old man of the Su family and asked, "That's why you deliberately ignored my grandfather and turned a blind eye to the bullying he suffered, right?"
"When you insisted on marrying my great-grandmother, you were simply after her generous dowry and the detoxification pills she had to eliminate the remaining poison in your body, right?..."
The old man of the Su family: "..."
Speechless!
He sat down on the chair.
Because Tang Bao's words hit the most secret part of his heart.
Expose his shameful thoughts in the open air.
