Grandpa Sun was so angry that he couldn’t help but want to kick: "Waste!"
Madam’s face turned pale as she knelt on the ground, not knowing what to say. The owner of Flower House clearly came well-prepared. They had planned everything since the beginning and deliberately suppressed the news until three days before the opening. The grand opening shocked Lian’an Town, even the prefecture city was alarmed. Even the banquets in the brothel were cooperated with Guilin Residence.
The rival family was truly prepared and didn’t give them any breathing room or buffer time. In just one night, Yihong Courtyard’s revenue was cut in half!
Grandpa Sun was so angry that he was half-dead, but he didn’t even know who the real owner behind the scenes of Flower House was! With the enemy in the dark, he couldn’t do anything even if he wanted to fight back!
When he looked at these "misshapen dates" in front of him, compared to the girls in the Flower House, Grandpa Shen felt like he couldn’t catch his breath, his eyes rolled and he fainted directly.
Yihong Courtyard immediately fell into chaos, and Grandpa Sun collapsed amidst the screams of the girls, causing a complete mess.

Xin He was flipping through the Flower House’s account book while listening to Shulan’s lively narration.
"Madam doesn’t know, but last night, Yihong Courtyard was in chaos. I don’t know if Grandpa Sun fainted or died, but it was so noisy that no business was done that night. A group of people followed and escorted Grandpa Sun back to Sun Manor. That night, the Sun family had lights all over, and it’s said that they called in ten or twenty doctors to treat him."
Shulan commented with astonishment, saying that the Sun family made a fuss: "If you didn’t know, you’d think he wouldn’t make it."
Xin He didn’t find it strange. She had asked Xiao Chaihu to inquire about the Sun family’s detailed situation a few days ago. The Sun family’s inner courtyard was extremely complicated, with Grandpa Sun’s lust being the main reason. There were many concubines in the mansion, and although the children were fighting fiercely and many had died, there were still six sons in the end, let alone how many grandsons there were.
It was precisely because of the size of the family and the complexity of the internal affairs that it would be difficult to divide the family. If this large family lived together and Grandpa Sun died, wouldn’t the Sun family turn the world upside down for the inheritance?
Grandpa Sun’s trip to Ghost Gate Pass this time must have scared the entire Sun family to death.
"For families like theirs, there are so many troublesome matters. You think it’s going to be that simple when the head of the household dies?" Xin He said softly.
Shulan nodded: "That’s true."
She couldn’t help but sigh after that: "Our manor is still better, peaceful."
Xin He smiled slightly: "Speaking of Xiao Chaihu, though, he does have some abilities. He’s always been reliable when I ask him to do things. The child may be young, but he’s thoughtful. I originally brought him back because I felt sorry for him, and I also wanted to find a playmate for Xiao Bei. I didn’t expect to dig up a little gold mine."
"That’s right. This time, he investigated the Sun family’s affairs. He managed to find out everything about the Sun family, from the masters to the servants, totaling about two hundred people. Didn’t Madam also ask Xiao Chaihu to inquire about the Flower House before?"
Xin He nodded: "The child is not bad. He’s being cultivated well now, and he should be promising in the future."
She would need capable assistants to manage her business as it grew in scale. Although Xiao Bei was somewhat clever, he was ultimately simple-minded and shy, lacking any cunning. It would be good for him to read and study well in the future, but managing businesses that required strategy and cunning would not suit him.
Xiao Chaihu, on the other hand, was not bad. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
However, all these things were for the future, Xin He just thought so casually.
"About the Sun family..." Xin He said hesitantly.
Shulan laughed: "Madam is still worried about the Sun family? Grandpa Sun was so angry he nearly ran out of breath, which shows that he had no impression of us at all. Yihong Courtyard trying to imitate our girls dressing, it’s just imitating without any effect. In my view, the Sun family is nothing to worry about."
Xin He didn’t speak, but her thoughts were racing. This time, the Sun family did suffer some losses, but she didn’t believe that the Sun family would let it go so easily.
Xin He pursed her lips and said, "Keep a close watch on Yihong Courtyard."
"Yes."
——
Sun family.
Last night, Sun Manor was busy and brightly lit all night long. Although it was quieter now, the hearts of the masters and servants were still tense.
If Grandpa Sun suddenly passed away, it would be a big deal.
At this moment, Grandpa Sun’s room was filled with people, and from time to time, men and women’s crying could be heard.
"Dad! If you just leave like this, how can your son live!"
"Grandpa, you must be okay!"
"Old Master, you mustn’t have any accidents, if anything happens to you, your concubine can only follow you in death."
The last voice was soft and delicate, yet it mixed well with the others, making it sound more pleasant than those who merely cried without tears. This was Ji Xiulan’s voice.
A room full of people cried and wiped away their tears to show their loyalty.
Lying on the bed, Grandpa Sun was growing increasingly impatient and roared, "All of you, shut up! Are you mourning!?"
Everyone shuddered and behaved immediately. The room quieted down, and some women who hadn’t calmed down yet continued sobbing softly, trying to control their emotions.
Whether it was real crying or fake emotions was uncertain.
Before, Grandpa Sun looked at the large family in front of him and felt harmonious, always thinking that having descendants around him in his old age was the greatest blessing. But now, looking at the room full of people, his anger surged.
What’s the point of having a bunch of descendants?! A bunch of useless descendants who only knew how to eat, drink, and play, and suck his blood! When it came to business, they couldn’t do anything and left everything to him!
Grandpa Sun, angered, propped himself up and pointed at the room full of people kneeling on the ground, cursing loudly, "You bunch of good-for-nothings! You’re useless when it comes to business, and now when I’m about to die, all you know how to do is mourn! If you’ve got the guts, figure out how to make up for the losses in Yihong Courtyard and get rid of that annoying Flower House for me!"
At this moment, Grandpa Sun’s emotions surfaced, and he started coughing violently again.
At this moment, everyone in the room was silent, kneeling with their heads down, not daring to look up. This Yihong Courtyard affair was a mess, and whoever took over it would be sick!
"Since Grandpa is so worried, why not let your grandson share the burden with you?"
Sun Yaowen suddenly raised his head in the silence.
