first minister

Chapter 106 Counterattack!

In the quiet pool, a stone was thrown down, with a bang, and water splashed everywhere.

Everyone followed the prestige and felt that their heartbeats missed a beat.

Because, the person who spoke was unexpectedly the second master of the Su family!
If it is a clan elder, you can still imagine whether he wants some benefits, whether he has any dissatisfaction, because he has no other pursuits, and no other ambitions;

But when the second master of the Su family spoke at this time, a thought suddenly popped up in everyone's mind: He wants to fight for the head of the family!
And this is exactly the worst scenario that Su Yanyan and Mr. Xun guessed in advance.

Su Yanyan felt that her calf was a little tight, and silently pinched her palm with her nails, trying to maintain a calm voice and emotion, "What objection does Second Uncle have?"

In the center of everyone's focus, the second master of the Su family looked calm, as if he didn't know what his actions meant. "The Winter Solstice Banquet is a major event for our Su family. Now the elder brother is seriously ill, and the members of the Su family are leaderless. There are many visitors in the Su family's dock. Yan Yan, you are a girl, and you are not suitable to show your face. Go back and have a good rest, and take care of your elder brother's condition. This is the most important thing. Let the second uncle take care of this family matter!"

really!

Everyone in the hall confirmed the thoughts in their hearts, and soon some people began to think about ideas such as standing in line.

Compared with the position of the clan elder who is still sitting still, doing so is indeed risky, but once it succeeds, the rewards will be astonishing.

Some people also began to worry. Brothers fight against each other, and internal strife is never a good sign!
More people watched with cold eyes. Anyway, no matter who wins, their position of clan elder is basically stable.

After listening to his second uncle's words, Su Yanyan miraculously lost his nervousness, as if a prisoner who was anxiously awaiting the sentence had put aside all his fantasies and concerns about gain and loss after receiving the death sentence, and began to face life seriously.

"How can there be no leader? Am I not here?"

Su Yanyan looked at his second uncle, "Does the second uncle think that I am not qualified, or that I am not capable enough?"

The second master of the Su family looked up at his niece, and met a pair of calm eyes.

His eldest brother, that is, the Patriarch of the Su family is just sick, not dead. As long as he doesn't swallow that breath, he really dare not say that he wants to overturn the decision that his father and elder brother made clearly.

This is Su Yanyan's confidence in daring to hold this clan elder meeting, and it is also the biggest resistance for the second child of the Su family.

But he is a dignified Second Master Su, and he is not an ignorant idiot. Looking at his overbearing niece, he chuckled confidently, "Since my father left, my Su family has not been as good as every year. The annual winter solstice banquet is a good opportunity for my Su family to maintain friendship with all parties. If it fails, what should I do? Is it okay to say that I am wrong? Well, isn't it the best choice?"

These words were quite reasonable, causing many clan elders to nod their heads slightly. Although they didn't speak, they seemed to have been persuaded in their hearts.

Fortunately, Su Yanyan is not unsupported.

Mr. Xun opened his mouth slowly, and pointed out the mistakes and omissions of the second child, "Second Master, you are indeed experienced in this winter solstice banquet, and you can also manage it this year, but it has nothing to do with who is at the helm of the entire Su family, right?"

"This is the old meeting of the Su family, how can you allow someone with a foreign surname to speak!"

The second master of the Su family flew into a rage without warning, "Father took you in, elder brother appreciates you, and I will give elder brother some face. Letting you listen here is enough to give you face. You are still pointing fingers here, why, this Patriarch of the Su family, you want to come and sit?"

Even Mr. Xun, who has always been well-mannered, blushed with embarrassment at this sentence, and naturally he couldn't speak anymore.

"Yo, Second Master Su is really angry!"

Just when the two sides refused to give in to each other, a sarcasm with a bit of yin and yang announced that another person had joined the battle group.

Everyone looked at the person who spoke and felt dizzy.

The youngest of the Su family!

It's over, it's a complete mess!
The Patriarch is not dead yet, how did the Su family become like this!

The third master of the Su family sneered, "I heard what the second brother meant, is he planning to fight for the position of Patriarch?"

As soon as the words came out, the second child was so overwhelmed that he didn't dare to admit it, and immediately put on a straight face, "Third brother, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm not doing it for the good of the clan! How this patriarch passed on has his own theory, and it's your turn to speculate here!"

"Don't put on a show here, how dare you do it but not admit it?"

The third child was originally much more heroic, but now that the second child is deliberately cheating him, it is because he has nowhere to vent his evil spirits, he snorted mercilessly: "Brother is unconscious, and niece Yan Yan is here to call everyone to discuss, and we should tide over the difficulties together, but you are here, deliberately seizing power, relying on your second wife's power, no one can compare to it, right?"

The second child took a deep look at the third child, "Third child, I don't understand what you are talking about."

"You don't understand? Then let me explain more clearly!"

The third child snorted, "Something happened to Su Yuanshang, and someone stabbed him to the supervisory censor in the state. You have a very good relationship with the supervisory censor. If it wasn't intentional, how could you let that person pass the news to Duan Zhoumu? Even so, it is not impossible for my Su family to protect him. You just suggested not to protect him, and then let the fourth brother's wife and brother take Su Yuanshang's position and become the new governor of Qingshan County. Then, in the name of giving others a little sweetness, Transferred all the property I gave to Su Yuanshang to collect money, and forced my elder brother to make up for me with family property, these things naturally went into your second room's pocket."

"Now in the clan, apart from elder brother, you are the most powerful. Then, just at this time, elder brother suddenly fell ill! Do you think it's strange, or is it a coincidence?"

"Su Yuanzong! Don't spit blood here!"

The second son became anxious after hearing this, he didn't dare to admit it, and it really wasn't his idea, he just came up with it tonight!

But the problem is, this third child speaks with a nose and eyes, if he is not the person involved, he would think so!

He was so anxious that he called out the name of the third child, "I am wholeheartedly for the clan, and I have never had any private thoughts. How dare you slander me and assassinate elder brother, what are your intentions!"

"Why are you yelling so loudly?"

The third poohed, "Are you covering up the panic in your heart? Are you covering up the panic in the hands of someone who exposed the conspiracy? If you don't jump out tonight, I can't see through your heart. Who knows that you are so impatient. The elder brother is still lying on the bed. It's just that he's sick. You can't help it, and you can't help it. You speak rudely to niece Yanyan and put on airs to Mr. Xun. It's not that I doubt you, it's the fact that we have to doubt you!"

"Clan elders, think carefully about whether what I said makes sense!"

Although everyone still didn't make a statement, they looked at the second child with a bit of suspicion, mainly because the third child's words were indeed so reasonable!

"Third brother." The second child also slowed down at this time, knowing that he couldn't directly argue with the third child at this time, so he chose another method.

"I know that you have lost a lot these days, and you have resentment in your heart, but you can't lose your mind because of this! You keep saying that I poisoned your eldest brother, do you have evidence? Didn't you deliberately stir up quarrels between brothers and stir up internal turmoil in the Su family? Have you forgotten the legacy of your great-grandfather and your father's teaching?"

The third child who had had the upper hand was choked up by these words, "Why do I have no evidence, isn't what I just said circumstantial evidence?"

"Enough!" Just when the two were arguing, Su Yanyan suddenly shouted coldly, "I don't believe that the second uncle will murder my father, but since the third uncle is convincing, the fourth grandfather will lead the clan to investigate this matter; at the same time, the second uncle is indeed experienced in the winter solstice banquet, so the second uncle will continue to be in charge of the winter solstice banquet. The third uncle will be in charge of the daily management of the family property for the time being.

"Dismiss!"

After finishing speaking, Su Yanyan left first, and the rest of the people looked at each other without any objection. They got up slowly and walked out with full of thoughts.

The third child stood up, looked at the second child, and said coldly: "I will never let your plot succeed!"

The second child looked at the third child with a sullen face, and finally walked away without saying a word.

On the way back, Su Yanyan said softly, "Uncle Xun, you were wronged just now."

"Not worth mentioning."

Mr. Xun waved his hand indifferently, "Miss, you seized the last opportunity very well, and you finally decided on your title first."

Su Yanyan shook his head slightly, "I didn't expect the third uncle to stand up, and the second uncle was caught off guard, so I seized the opportunity, but it was only a few days, I just hope that my father can wake up soon."

Mr. Xun said softly: "Miss, don't think that the third master is helping you."

Su Yanyan paused, turned his head to look, the surprise in his eyes slowly turned into seriousness.

After a while, she sighed helplessly, "Let's do it right now!"

Mr. Xun hummed, "Tonight's guests, we have to appease them first. This is also the time when the eldest lady builds her reputation, but I don't know about you, eldest lady."

Su Yanyan said lightly: "It's okay, I'm not shameless."
-
"Young master, how long will we be locked up like this?"

In a compound, Xie Yanzhi whispered about Xia Jingyun.

At this moment, everyone was gathered in this spacious courtyard where the Su family should gather on weekdays, and they were divided into several rooms.

The treatment was not bad. The Su family moved chairs for everyone, and distributed a thin blanket to keep out the cold, and enough hot tea and cakes, so there were not many complaints from everyone.

But most of the people who can come here are of status, such restraint is not a long-term solution after all, and the Su family dare not restrict everyone's freedom for too long without reason.

So Xia Jingyun said softly: "Wait with peace of mind, it will probably be soon."

He looked at the night outside the window, and it is reported that the Patriarch of the Su family has no sons, so the young lady of the Su family must be in a hurry right now.

After knowing that the Patriarch of the Su family was suddenly seriously ill and unable to manage the council, I always felt that something was wrong, because all this was a bit too similar to the situation in Sishui Prefecture that day.

This resemblance is not about the resemblance, but the resemblance, the resemblance of the way of doing things.

It's all so natural, so seemingly irrelevant, but when things accumulate together, it's like pushing dominoes, suddenly forming a collapsed situation like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

Could it be that someone wants to attack the Su family?
Do you want to touch the Su family and see the situation?

No, he denied his own thoughts in a flash. If he wants to touch someone, he must touch the key person. Otherwise, touching someone who is insignificant will only lead to emptiness, wasting all his fighting power on the bed.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a woman walked in surrounded by several guards.

The woman's demeanor is elegant and her appearance is unparalleled. Standing under the lights, the lights dimmed, like a bright night pearl that is rare in the world.

Xia Jingyun's eyes lit up.
