Chapter 945: The feeling of a collapsing building
After hearing what Su Zhengyan said, the head of the Su family subconsciously touched his face.
No wonder he felt that the head of the Su family looked familiar.
It turns out that he has similarities with me...
The head of the Su family felt something in his heart.
"Sixteenth brother, what do you mean by this?" The head of the Su family looked at Su Zhengyan and asked suspiciously, "Are you suspecting that the head of the Su family has some relationship with me? Is he my father's... lost blood?"
When Patriarch Su finished speaking, his heart skipped a beat.
By the way, it seems that his father really did have a mistress outside.
The head of the Su family suddenly felt unsure.
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Su Zhengyan's face.
He had naturally guessed this in his mind.
However, it is not a good idea to say this in front of the head of the Su family.
Su Zhengyan coughed dryly and said, "Brother, it may not be Second Uncle's bloodline. It may be from someone else in the Su family. It's not impossible..."
In short, he felt that the Su family had a close relationship with his own family.
Otherwise, it would be impossible that when he went to Daliushu Village, the head of the Su family called out the old man's name.
It was obvious that all the anger was directed at the old man.
But if there really is a huge hatred between them, why would their appearances be somewhat similar?
The head of the Su family glanced at Su Zhengyan and said, "Don't say anything that's not sincere. If that Su family is really related to our Su family by blood, it would be a good thing. Maybe if we talk it out, we can finally let them recognize their ancestry."
When the head of the Su family thought of this, he suddenly became a little excited.
Not to mention that Su Wuhu is a good scholar and can help the Su family support the family and maintain the reputation of the Su family in the future.
That little girl alone is extraordinary!
Not only does he know medical skills, he also has a close relationship with the Third Prince. He might have some great fortune in the future!
You know, the direct branch of the Su family hasn't had a daughter for several lifetimes!
If this is really the bloodline of the Su family...
The Su family head's heart began to beat wildly.
"I'll send someone to Fengqi County to investigate right away!" The head of the Su family said hurriedly, turned around and left.
Su Zhengyan looked at the back of the head of the Su family and opened his mouth.
He felt that things might not be that simple.
If they really wanted to return to their roots, would they have kicked me out in the first place?
Su Zhengyan is not as optimistic as the head of the Su family.
However, neither Su Zhengyan nor the head of the Su family considered that Old Man Su would be expelled from the clan.
After all, when Old Man Su was expelled from the clan, Su Zhengyan was not yet born, and the head of the Su family was still young and didn't remember it at all.
Later, this matter became a taboo in the Su family, and no one ever mentioned it again.
As a result, there are not many people alive today who know about this.
"Uncle Sixteen!"
Following the sound, several scholars came over.
Su Zhengyan turned around and saw that they were several candidates he had recruited from various places.
These scholars have just been included in the Su family's genealogy.
The Su family has high hopes for the performance of these people in the Spring Examination.
The old man took everyone to Xiangmanlou for dinner to celebrate these scholars joining the Su family.
Su Zhengyan's face showed a gentle expression, and he asked, "Are you used to living here these days? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
"Thank you Uncle Sixteen for your concern. Everything is going well for me."
Several scholars bowed in thanks.
Su Zhengyan nodded and said with a smile, "That's good."
Several scholars looked at Su Zhengyan, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.
Su Zhengyan's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Is there anything else?"
The scholars looked at each other.
One of them mustered up the courage and said, "Uncle Sixteen, after careful consideration, we all think that our original decision was too hasty."
Su Zhengyan's face darkened slightly.
Another scholar continued, "That's right. Our bodies and hair are inherited from our parents. How can we change our blood ties at will? It was inappropriate for us younger generations to join the Su family tree. We are ashamed of our ancestors, so..."
The man didn't say anything else, but his meaning was self-evident.
"Hmph! So, you want to be expelled from the clan?!" Su Zhengyan snorted coldly and said.
The expressions of several scholars changed drastically.
They want to break away from the Su family, but that doesn't mean they want to be expelled from the clan.
After all, they had just joined and all they had to do was cross their names off.
Anyway, they are not the real descendants of the Su family.
When he accepted the Su family's recruitment, it was just because he wanted to take advantage of the Su family's power.
However, after the Xiangmanlou incident, they suddenly realized that joining the Su family was not as good as they thought.
The life and death of the old man of the Su family is a time bomb.
What’s more serious is that the current third prince clearly has a bad attitude towards the Su family.
They are not fools, so they can naturally see this.
Thinking of the rumors they had heard about the third prince being the most likely to inherit the throne, how could they dare to continue to be involved with the Su family?
Although the Su family is a century-old family, it is vulnerable in the face of imperial power.
Because of this, they gathered together to discuss for a while, and then hurried to find Su Zhengyan.
They were recruited by Su Zhengyan at that time, and now that they are leaving, they naturally want to say something to Su Zhengyan.
"Uncle Sixteen, we're not from the Su family, so why are we being expelled from the clan?" A scholar couldn't help but shout, "If we're branded as expelled from the clan, how will we ever stand before others?"
"Since you want to do something treacherous, you still want to gain a foothold in front of others?" Su Zhengyan's tone was a little sarcastic.
Then, he continued, "Our Su family is a century-old family. The family tree has always been enshrined in front of the ancestors' spirits. How can you just add names or cross them out as you please? What a joke!"
Several scholars were dumbfounded.
So they were trapped by the Su family? !
"Uncle Sixteen, we..."
"If you want to be expelled from the clan, just go find the head of the clan!" Su Zhengyan interrupted the man coldly and said, "Do we, the Su family, really want to force you to stay?!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left!
The scholars looked at each other, all at a loss.
The further Su Zhengyan walked, the more desolate he felt.
When did the Su family fall to the point where they were despised by a few small scholars?
A feeling that the building was about to collapse came over Su Zhengyan.
**
Tang Bao was not at all surprised when she received the summons from Concubine Shu.
Just based on the shocking enthusiasm of Concubine Shu that day, Tang Bao also understood that Concubine Shu would probably send someone to summon her into the palace.
At this moment, the one who came to the Princess's Mansion to summon Tang Bao was Bihe, the senior palace maid beside Concubine Shu.
Bihe first bowed respectfully to Tangbao.
Then, with a smile on her face, she said, "Ever since the day she saw the princess, you've been thinking about her all the time. You can't even enjoy your meal. You wish you could send me a servant to bring the princess into the palace to talk..."
Tang Bao: “…”
This enthusiasm is still so frightening when people hear it.
