"Sixth Sister, everything you wanted is here. Please give me the poem." Sun Si pushed the boxes on the table. There were three large boxes, each as tall as a five or six-year-old child.
From the outside, the box is an ordinary iron box with complex patterns on the surface, which seem to be some kind of totem. There are locks on all four corners of the box, and the keys to unlock them are quietly placed on the box.
Sun Yun walked to the box, patted it, and gestured for Ban Shu to check the authenticity of the key.
After testing each key, Sun Yun confirmed they were genuine. He then examined the land deeds, banknotes, and indentures inside, finding nothing amiss. Satisfied, he nodded and said, "I won't disturb the Fourth Prince's Consort's recovery any longer. Take her away."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Liang ordered his men to move the box away. Sun Si was furious. He stood up, pointed at Sun Yun's face, and shouted angrily, "Sun Yun! Don't push your luck!"
"Deceiving people? Under this premise, you have to be a human being. For your own selfish desires, you did not hesitate to instigate the division of the family and did not hesitate to give up half of the property. The Sun family raised you as the apple of their eye, and this is how you repay the Sun family? Sun Jiao, do you have any conscience?" Sun Yun mockingly pushed Sun Si, who was pushed onto the chaise longue and fainted from anger.
Hearing Sun Si's angry shouts, Madam Sun Zhong, who was trembling outside the door, rushed in. Seeing Sun Si lying on the chaise longue, she hugged him in horror and cried, "What kind of sin has this been committed? What kind of sin has this been committed!"
“Aunt, from today onwards you should go to the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha and pray for the Sun family.”
Sun Zhongshi stared blankly at Sun Yun. She was all gone, she couldn't beat Sun Yun, she couldn't fight Sun Yun, and Sun Yun had leverage over her. What could she do? Her already swollen eyes began to shed tears again.
"Does your aunt have any objections?" Sun Yun was not moved by her pitiful appearance at all, and asked in a cold tone. Sun Zhongshi closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, and nodded while crying.
Upon leaving Yiran Courtyard, Sun Yun paused in the courtyard. Where was Zhao Bi? Her gaze fell upon the rough maids sweeping around, and she found them all extremely dull, as if they were walking corpses.
He took out the land deed for Jingxin Garden from his wide sleeve and handed it to Wu Liang, saying, "Send someone to deliver it to Ajun."
Wu Liang accepted the land deed, his heart pounding. He had heard that Jingxin Garden was one of the best gardens in the capital. If it became the residence of Prince Yong, wouldn't they be able to train there? To be honest, although Prince Yong's residence was large, it was really small compared to the two or three hours they often had to run there. If they could train in a garden as big as Jingxin Garden, how pleasant that would be.
If Sun Si knew that Wu Liang was planning this, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. However, if Jingxin Garden were to be handed over to Zhao Shu, all the aristocratic families would be furious.
When they met the matchmaker, Wu Liang had already sent someone to deliver the land deed to Zhao Shu. The matchmaker was terrified, afraid that she might accidentally anger the unfriendly-looking Sun Yun.
What had she just seen? The old lady's maid, Xinyue, was about to be sold off to some remote mountain village! And for free! The Sun family had changed hands, just like the Wang family a few years ago; they were about to change masters. This time it was different—they were changing the mistress of the house!
"Ma'an, go with Granny to select people. Banshu, go and gather everyone in the courtyard." Sun Yun put away the box and began to give orders. She wanted to seize every second to completely take control of the Sun family.
When the matchmaker heard that she didn't have to confront Sun Yun directly, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took her leave, leading Ma An to see the people she had brought.
Since ancient times, we have only heard of young emperors and empress dowagers ruling from behind the curtain, and of wicked empresses wreaking havoc on the court. We have never heard of a noble family that values inheritance so much having a woman in charge! The fact that even the old lady's head maid can be sold shows that the men in this family no longer have any influence.
Could it be that from now on, the Sun family will be run by the sixth daughter of the Sun family? A chill ran down her spine; this was no good.
I heard that in the early years, the eldest daughter of the Huo family in Bianzhou was in charge of the household and managed the family affairs. However, it was only the inner quarters. All the servants were to be replaced, including those in the outer courtyard. She seemed to have discovered a terrible truth. "Don't say anything, don't say anything..." The matchmaker kept reminding herself along the way.
In three days, Sun Yun managed to subdue all the servants and women in the Sun family who could be subdued. Those who could not be subdued were all sold off. From the eldest son's house to the twelfth son's house, none were spared and all were replaced. Those who did not want to be replaced could move out, but no one was willing to move out of the Sun family.
Even though the family has separated, we still need to live together to be considered part of the Sun family. If we move out, we might be looked down upon. How can we tolerate that?
Of course, she wouldn't care about the collateral branches.
After inspecting the storeroom, Sun Yun placed the account book on the table and had someone summon all the direct descendants of the Sun family. His gaze swept over them one by one, and all the elders, such as grand-uncle, great-uncle, eldest uncle, second uncle, aunt, and so on, as well as all the cousins, and even the younger generation, nephews and nieces, gathered in the Sun family ancestral hall.
It's still early, and there's still silver in the family coffers. They also received shops and silver when the family divided. However, Sun Yun controls 50% of the family property, and Sun Ganzheng has accumulated wealth over generations. In the past three days, he hasn't given them a single tael of silver. With daily expenses ranging from several hundred taels, they understand that if Sun Yun doesn't give them any more silver, they will eventually run out of money. Even if someone knows how to manage the business, they will only be able to live the life of a small family, and will never be able to live the refined life they once had.
“I know you’re all dissatisfied.” Sun Yun closed the ledger. “I’ve looked at the ledger.” Her tone was dramatic, though she had only looked at a few. “The manipulation in the ledger is very clever.”
Upon hearing this, some people immediately panicked. They knew that Sun Yun and Zhao Shu ran shops together, and Sanguzhai and Chunyuan were now famous throughout the country, no less than the Sun family's businesses.
“I will forgive and forget what happened before.” Sun Yun threw the ledger aside. “But in the future, if anyone dares to be a parasite on the family, there will only be one outcome.”
She reached out and presented the family genealogy book in half. The book was too thick for her to carry, so she placed it on the table and turned to the latest page: "Expelled from the family."
