"Of course I won't make such a mistake." Li Er said, "Dun Xinbo is indeed dead."

"Oh?" Zhen Suhang's heart skipped a beat, but he looked unconvinced.

"I saw his body with my own eyes. His heart and lungs were dug out by wild beasts. He couldn't possibly have survived." Li Er said, "Don't worry, Boss Su. No one will crawl out of the underworld to find trouble with you. As for Young Master..."

Zhen Suhang frowned.

Li Er said: "If the news you released is beneficial to him, he will naturally not settle accounts with you. After all, it is a fact that the young master was abused and beaten by Gu Dashi."

Zhen Suhang nodded silently.

Li Er said: "That's all I can say. This is all I can offer. Are you satisfied, Boss Su?"

"I understand." Zhen Suhang said.

He called his trusted servant who was guarding outside the door and asked him to take Li Er to the accounting office to withdraw money.

Li Er left with satisfaction.

Zhen Suhang was anxious and paced back and forth in the room. Did Gu Yue's plan succeed, or did it fail? Why did such a person come to sell him the news? Why didn't Gu Yue personally send the message back?

What about Gu Xu? Even if Gu Yue failed to send a message back for some reason, how could Gu Xu forget about it? After all, this was Gu Yue sacrificing his life and identity to pave the way for him, so there was no reason for him not to seize it.

The fact that Gu Xu ignored this matter only means that he was held back by more important things.

Could it be that Boss Gu...

Zhen Suhang scratched his head again and again.

He had an ominous premonition.

The editor-in-chief knocked on the door and walked into the room: "Boss? What's going on?"

Zhen Suhang looked at him and calmed down. This editor-in-chief was someone who had followed him since the beginning of his business. He was very talented in journalism and had been with him until now.

Zhen Suhang thought that it was useless to panic. As a qualified supporting role, it was enough for him to perfectly complete the tasks assigned by the protagonist.

He said, "Come here, we will revise tomorrow's daily newspaper immediately..."

……

Under the behind-the-scenes manipulation of Hangdou Bookstore, the rumors finally turned in the direction that Gu Yue had expected during his lifetime.

The daily newspaper promoted by Hangdou reported this incident in a small space, and used some Spring and Autumn style to cleverly reverse the trend. For a time, the people in the streets and alleys applauded, and the stigma of "unfilial piety" that Gu Yue had been worried about did not fall on Gu Xu's head.

After all, how can one be filial to a foster father who abuses his children at every turn?

Zhen Suhang was not surprised at all.

Half a day after the daily report was published, he received a secret order from the emperor, asking him to come to the palace to explain the matter. Zhen Suhang was well prepared for this, and all his arguments were ready.

Inside the Su Mansion.

Su Yingjian's face was gloomy, and he was about to go out with Luo Dao.

The two of them ordered the servants to pack their luggage and harness the carriage, but the courtyard of the third house was tightly closed. The guard outside the door said, "Master, this is the order of the third master..."

Su Yingjian was so angry that he yelled, "My father never disciplined me, you are lying!"

Luo Dao frowned slightly, and did not express his opinion on the situation. He just stood there with his sword in his arms, watching what would happen.

Su Yingjian couldn't get the door open, so he said angrily, "Luo Dao, take me out of the house and rent a carriage."

Luo Dao did not follow the order as usual. He shook his head slightly and pointed his thumb behind him.

Su Yingjian looked behind him and saw Su Muhua coming over with his trusted confidants.

"Dad?" Su Yingjian was surprised for a moment.

"It's my order." This was Su Muhua's first sentence.

As the third son of Old Master Su, he was already over 40 years old. After all, Su Yingjian was not young anymore.

This middle-aged man usually enjoys traveling and has never entered officialdom. He just lives an idle young man under the care of his brother. As a result, he looks radiant and still has some youthful looks.

On his face, which had always been cynical and uninterested in any political affairs, there was a seriousness that Su Yingjian had never seen before.

"Come to the study with me." Su Muhua said.

Seeing his father in such a state, Su Yingjian could not make a fuss for a while. Besides, Luo Dao looked like he put the Third Master first, so he naturally could not get out of the Su Mansion alone.

When the father and son arrived at the study, Luo Dao was actually ordered not to enter.

Su Yingjian was confused.

Su Muhua said after a moment of silence.

"I have also heard about Lord Dunxin's affairs. You must not leave the house these days. Just stay here and behave yourself."

"Why? Lord Dunxin and Xiaoxu are both important to us. How can we be called family members if we just stand by and watch?" Su Yingjian seemed very emotional. "Do we have to wait until something happens to our aunt like we did back then?"

"Shut up!" Su Muhua said angrily, "Did your father ever tell me to stand aside and watch?"

Su Muhua put his hands on the desk, frowned and thought for a long time.

"There is something fishy about this matter." Su Muhua said, "Our Third House cannot intervene rashly. Sometimes, your participation in it represents a certain attitude."

Su Yingjian was stunned. The third room...

This title was quite unfamiliar when it came out of his father's mouth. Although the third branch was just a title, the Su family was united and was a truly warm and close-knit family. They never referred to themselves as a branch.

Su Muhua said this, does this mean he has decided to cut ties with his uncles?

Su Yingjian frowned. He knew that they would be separated one day, but the current situation was not a sign of a peaceful separation!

"Attitude, what attitude?" Su Yingjian was a little angry. "Although the eldest uncle and the second uncle did something wrong, it was because they misunderstood what Lord Dunxin did and were eager to achieve success. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved and both sides have accepted each other, how can they just avoid suspicion..."

Su Muhua shook his head.

He said, "Ying Jian, I know you feel bad, but the harmony in our family is only between your aunts and brothers. You have no idea what your uncles are thinking. They are out there every day, and we cannot see how much they are scheming."

Su Yingjian had nothing to say.

Yes, the harmony within the Su family is indeed the harmony between women and the younger generations. Su Yingjian has no idea what Su Muying and Su Muyu, who are away every day, are thinking.

"I'm just afraid..." Su Muhua frowned.

He looked at Su Yingjian, who had a dejected look on his face, and hesitated whether to say it.

"Never mind. Anyway, Lord Dunxin's death is a signal. There will be chaos soon. I will never allow you to go out." Su Muhua said, "...People from the first and second houses should have less communication these days."

Su Muhua paused again and said, "Dad promises you that this time, at least our third branch will never stand idly by."

After that, he walked away.

Su Yingjian stood in the study room blankly, his mind already surging with emotions. What exactly did his father mean by these words?

But should we just leave Gu Dashi and Xiao Xu alone? On the day when the rumors about their relationship spread, Su Yingjian had already understood something. He himself was not a conservative person, so even though it was unbelievable, he chose to accept it.

But the government was very secretive about this matter.

Luo Dao entered the study room, and seeing that he was frowning, he patted his shoulder and said, "I'll send a message and ask them to help investigate. I won't let Xiao Xu suffer any injustice."

Su Yingjian nodded and said nothing.
