Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

In the room, the three members of the third house gathered together. Su Muhua and his wife sat on the left with calm faces; Su Yingjian stood behind them. The two wives and children of the first and second houses were also present, but the younger generation was not yet old enough to be governors, so they were not there.

Su Muying bowed to Old Master Su first: "Dad, your son is back."

"Sit down." Old Master Su repeated calmly, and there seemed to be no attention paid to Su Muying's kneeling ceremony.

Su Muying and Su Muyu had no choice but to sit down.

"I have asked someone to invite the elders of the Su family. Please have some tea first and wait for a moment." said Old Tutor Su.

"What happened?" Su Muying raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Why did you alarm the elders?"

Old Master Su remained silent, and the people from the third house were also silent. Su Muhua did not see his elder brother's joy, he lowered his eyes without any emotion.

Su Muying frowned slightly and looked at Su Muyu.

Su Muyu was also confused.

Probably not at short notice, several elders soon arrived at the main hall of Songheyuan. When the people in the room saw the elders, they all stood up and saluted.

There were chairs reserved for them next to Old Master Su, and the elders sat down one by one, without looking too surprised.

"I called you all here today to discuss the division of the family." said Old Master Su.

Su Muying stood up in shock at this sentence. Su Muyu was also shocked for a moment, and then he understood - this was what Su Muhua was planning!

Su Muhua already knew their plan, so was he going to leave this ship?

"Father is still in good health and can live to be a hundred years old. Why do we want to divide the family now?!" When Su Muying said this, he looked at Su Muhua opposite him.

"This matter has nothing to do with the third brother. It was my idea." Old Tutor Su looked at him and said.

"...Father!" Su Muying was shocked.

He didn't believe it. It must be something Su Muhua said to Old Master Su!

Even the elders of the clan have been invited into the house, which shows how determined the old tutor is.

Su Muhua said: "Brother, listen to what Dad has to say first."

Su Muhua no longer had the intention to dissuade his two brothers from taking the "right path". Old Master Su had a heart-to-heart talk with him, and he gradually understood some things.

The current situation has indeed reached the point where it is time to take action. The Su family has almost spanned three generations and is too prosperous. If Su Muying wants to resign, first of all he is unwilling, and secondly they cannot.

The Su family needs shelter!

No one can guarantee that the imperial family will be completely relieved because of their resignation. Old Master Su has resigned for many years, but the connections he has built up and his influence in the entire court will not lose their effectiveness just because the title is eliminated.

Su Muhua thought that he really didn't understand these.

The separation of the family is inevitable.

Su Muying gave him a cold look, then turned his gaze back to Old Tutor Su.

"Aying, don't drag the entire Su family into this muddy water." said Old Tutor Su.

Su Muying immediately understood what he meant.

As time goes by, people become more shrewd, especially a tutor of two dynasties. I'm afraid that his secret plans have long been seen by the old tutor Su.

Su Muying suddenly felt a chill. What about the matter of Prince Shen’s Mansion?

Does Dad...also know about this?

Su Muying met his father's eyes. The emotions contained in those eyes really made him feel upset and speechless for a moment.

"Where's Ah Yu? The third son will definitely be separated, what about you?" Old Master Su didn't look at him for long, and turned to his second son: "Do you still want to follow Ah Ying?"

Su Muyu said: "I will advance and retreat with my elder brother."

There was silence in the room for a moment, and Su Muying said, "I have been under the protection of the Su family for several years, but now that the ship is on the verge of collapse, I have to abandon the ship and escape. Third brother, is this true?"

Su Muhua said calmly: "I only want 20% of the Su family's assets, and the rest will be left to my eldest and second brothers. After all, our third branch has not been living off for a living these years."

The way they addressed each other had become unfamiliar. Su Yingxu, the eldest son of Su Muying, looked struggling and in pain when he heard this.

Su Muhua looked at the younger generations behind the first and second wives, and felt a little sad. His third uncle was an idler, and he had raised these children by himself, treating them like his own children. Now they had to separate and pursue their own careers.

How could Su Yingxu not see his father's thoughts? But as the eldest son, he could not be separated from his biological father no matter what, so he could only run around and plan for him so that the Su family could have a better chance of success.

Su Muying was silent for a while, thinking about how much was left after 20% of the Su family's assets were taken away, and whether it was enough to support his remaining plans. Seeing this, Su Muhua took a step back and said, "This way. I will only take the wife's dowry and the five manors in the Su family's name in Luonan Road. The rest will be left to Dad and my brother."

Su Muyu was a little surprised.

"Is this all you want? How are you going to live?" Old Master Su frowned deeply.

Su Muhua smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, with five manors and a dowry, how can we not live? Ordinary people can't even get one ten-thousandth of that in their lifetime. It's just that it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality. Madam and Ying Jian also agree."

His wife and Su Yingjian nodded together.

Su Muying was finally speechless. What was the third brother trying to do?

Old Master Su said, "It's better to separate now. The third house has a small population, and if there is any accident, we can preserve a bloodline. It won't wither away."

These words almost laid the matter out in the open. After hearing this, the three elders looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

However, they just thought that the prince might take action against the Su family and did not think about it more deeply.

Su Muying finally nodded: "Okay. Let's do it this way."

He looked at Su Muhua deeply, but Su Muhua refused to raise his eyes.

Was it Su Muhua who was cowardly, or was it that the emperor was ultimately heartless? Perhaps it was the truth that everything that rose must fall.

……

"The Su family has split up." Wu Yan said.

"It was done so easily? I thought they were longing for wealth and glory, and no one was willing to leave." Gu Xu smiled lightly.

"That Su Yingjian doesn't seem like that kind of person, but as for the others...it's hard to say." Wu Feng said.

Gu Xu was the one who was abandoned by the Su family, so he did not comment: "Some people may not be destined to die."

Fu Dao leaned against the window sill and said after hearing this: "Chen Dao will send someone to protect them."

Wu Feng couldn't help but ask, "Which side is Chen Dao Feng on? Master Huai Yue back then... Could it be that this sect didn't know the inside story? Uncle Fu, why don't you go back and spread the word."

Fu Dao answered seriously, "No. We chose to follow Huai Yue because we have a very good personal relationship, so we can conceal the sect behind us in certain matters. And Chen Daofeng...he cooperated with the Su family, not Huai Yue."

"What is the relationship between Lingfeng Pavilion and Chendao Peak?" Gu Xu suddenly asked.

"If it was before, I might not be able to answer this question." Fu Dao said, "But now... I can be sure that, similar to my situation with Zhe Dao, Su Muying probably found some people from Chen Dao Peak and used them as the foundation to slowly build Ling Feng Pavilion."
