Tragic death on wedding night, replacement doctor concubine reborn to kill the whole family

Rong Xun nodded, "My wife and I are a true couple who have bowed to heaven and earth, and we should never leave each other."

Su Heng took a sip of tea and said nothing more.

Su laughed and said, "I'm sure your wife and daughter know about Lady Li Hui's kindness, and they certainly won't blame you."

Rong Xun said with a hint of embarrassment, "Not blaming is one thing."

“Lord Li, this matter may be difficult to handle. You will be happy to have the lady back by your side, but the clerk may not be happy.”

"That's natural, but since the patriarch summoned me, I don't know if I, Li, will have the opportunity to serve Patriarch Su."

Su laughed, "Our master has always valued talent. That clerk seems to have good martial arts skills. Both Lord Li and the clerk are highly regarded by our master."

Although the Lingnan region is not barren, all areas operate according to established rules, which often requires the assistance of ambitious individuals.

Rong Xun quickly stood up, "If Patriarch Su does not despise me, I am willing to serve you."

"Of course I wouldn't mind, I couldn't ask for more." Su Heng also stood up, looking every bit the good lord.

Then, Su Heng continued, "Now that you have entered Lingnan, do you know the local customs and traditions?"

"Oh?"

“In Lingnan, there are many men, but not everyone can marry and have children. Some brothers rely on each other and take care of each other in their daily lives, while others share a wife.”

Rong Xun: “…”

Sure enough, the head of the Su family followed in the direction that he, Xiao Lusheng, and Yun'er wanted.

Although they had disguised themselves, Xiao Lusheng's decisive and kingly demeanor could not be concealed. Moreover, he himself was not arrogant; even his feigned stupidity seemed unreal.

Su Heng is eager to get things done and is thirsty for talent, but he won't let anyone with a stronger presence or more charisma than him be by his side, otherwise he'll be in danger!

But Xiao Lusheng, who looks like a great general, and he, a cunning and corrupt official, are both talents who can help the Su family head achieve his goals.

He feared both that their achievements would overshadow his own and that he wouldn't be able to obtain such people. The only solution was to taint their reputations and make them fight over a woman, thus creating a balance between them and making him, the mediocre head of the family, feel at ease!

That was a brilliant move!

But it was all within their plan.

"Don't worry, Lord Li, I will definitely ask Clerk Su to put in a good word for you, in case he agrees?" Su Heng asked Rong Xun.

Rong Xun took a deep breath, nodded, and thanked Su Heng with a somewhat reluctant but helpless expression, "Then I will thank Patriarch Su here."

"a piece of cake."

Rong Xun then toasted the head of the Su family again before leaving the room.

After Rong Xun closed the door, Su Da went over to take a look. Seeing that no one was lingering at the door, he returned to Su Heng and asked, "Master, do you think this person is trustworthy?"

Su Heng frowned slightly. "Ah Da, what do you think?"

Su Dadao: "This civil official doesn't think so. As long as Qing Chang'an is willing to pledge allegiance to the family head, or rather, Qing Chang'an will pledge allegiance to the family head sooner or later, his son is still living in the Su residence, so he can't escape."

"No no no!"

Su Heng shook his head. "If the only military advisor and civil official is Qing Chang'an, and he reluctantly submits to me, when will you be able to see whether he is sincere or not?"

If it weren't for Chen Qingshan's words of wisdom, he really wouldn't have thought much of Qing Chang'an; this man truly has a bit of pride!

What's most infuriating is that although Qing Chang'an doesn't have the martial prowess of his predecessor in Lingnan, the various grain seeds he brought back to the region have enabled the people there to eat white rice and cornmeal.

Su Da nodded, "What you say is polite, Master."

“In this Lingnan region, they have no one to rely on but me.”

"Yes."

Su Heng looked at Su Da and then said, "Go and find the person."

Su Da nodded, and just as he turned to turn around, Su Heng called out again, "How many of us are here?"

"The hundred or so men that the head of the family sent this morning have arrived."

"Then please invite them all to dine in the inn's main hall. There's no need for them to hide." That Su Sheng isn't so easy to win over.

We still need to let people see his true strength!

Su Da instantly understood his master's intention, cupped his hands in greeting, and left the room.

Downstairs, after Rong Xun returned, Xiao Lusheng and the others had already finished eating and were preparing to go upstairs to pack their belongings and leave.

As Su Da beckoned, A Jia and A Yi came to his side. Su Da quickly gave them a few instructions and sent them to do their errands.

He then stood in the corridor until Xiao Lusheng and the others came upstairs.

"Commander Su," Su Da addressed him directly.

Xiao Lusheng's reaction was similar to Rong Xun's; he also looked surprised.

Su Da continued, "Patriarch Su would like to invite you for a cup of sake."

"Is he the head of the Su family of Lingnan?" Xiao Zhenzhen asked.

"Exactly."

It seems they had already learned about the family head's reputation on their way here.

Xiao Lusheng glanced at Yun'er, somewhat hesitant.

At that moment, A-Jia and A-Yi led many guards into the inn's lobby and loudly instructed the waiters to serve the heroes well.

Su Da also called out to A Jia, "The head of the family has ordered that each table must have two meat dishes!"

"Okay boss."

A-Jia responded, then smiled and said that everyone was blessed, benefiting from the head of the family's good fortune.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Lusheng looked at Su Da again, his imposing manner somewhat weaker than before.

Su Yun wanted to laugh. If it were thousands of people who had sex, perhaps Rong Xun and Xiao Lusheng would frown, after all, there was still her as a burden.

But those few hundred people were nothing to them.

However, Xiao Lusheng was good at acting, putting on a show of fear and intimidation.

"Shumei," Xiao Lusheng called out.

Su Yun almost didn't react. Her name was now Wang Shumei, and she was Li Hui's wife. In order to survive, she was forced by Li Hui, and she also voluntarily followed Su Sheng, a female prisoner who was a bailiff.

"Shenglang?" What is it?

She looked puzzled, completely absorbed in her role.

Xiao Lusheng gently lifted her face with his large hand, his expression a mix of frivolity and warning. "Go back to your room first, I'll be right back."

Su Yun nodded slightly, her expression indifferent, and replied with a lukewarm "Mm".

"Boss—"

Yu Cheng and the others stepped forward, looking at Xiao Lusheng with a nervous expression.

Xiao Lusheng raised his hand, "Hey, since it's Patriarch Su, we should at least meet him. Patriarch Su is a blessing to the people of Lingnan. It's a good fortune to have the opportunity to meet him."

Yu Hui and the others stood still, and although they were worried, they made way for them.

Then, Xiao Zhenzhen, Zhou Yiqing and the others continued walking forward.

Yu Cheng and the others went in the opposite direction. They mostly shared rooms, and everyone seemed to have great faith in Xiao Lusheng.

Su Da looked at the group of people. From the clerk to the bailiff, everyone looked very strong and powerful, and they all seemed to respect Su Sheng above all others.

Su Da pushed open the door.

Xiao Lusheng straightened his cuffs and then went inside.

When Su Heng saw Xiao Lusheng stride in, his upright posture and those eyes as cold as a deep pool, he felt a wave of unease.

Why is this?
