It can be seen that the three brothers of the Zhu family have deep resentment in their hearts.

Although they usually appear to have a deep affection for their eldest brother on the surface, every time the anniversary of his death comes, they all cry and reminisce about the past.

But in fact, all three of them had a hint of hatred in their hearts.

They just knew that the old man favored the eldest brother, so they pretended to be good and created the illusion of deep brotherly love to win the old man's favor.

Hearing the answers from the three people, a hint of contempt flashed in Master Su's eyes.

These three idiots are good at scheming, but their business talents are extremely mediocre.

Just based on their strength, do they still think they can compete with Zhu Chengfu?

Not to mention Zhu Chengfu, their abilities are not even comparable to the rising star Zhu Di.

If it weren't for their blood ties, how could they be qualified to inherit Shennong Pharmaceutical?

No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang always looked down on them.

However, Master Su only complained about this in his heart and did not say it out loud.

"Wrong, wrong! You're focusing on the wrong thing!"

"Zhu Hongwu received an old-fashioned education since childhood and is very traditional at heart. Shennong Pharmaceuticals is the Zhu family's ancestral foundation, so of course he most hopes to pass the throne to his eldest son!"

The three brothers looked at each other.

"But my eldest brother is dead, and he didn't leave any sons. It's my turn, right? Judy's a girl, she's going to get married sooner or later. How can she compare with me?"

Zhu Chengtai frowned and disagreed with what Master Su said.

After all, if Zhu Yuanzhang really followed tradition, women would have no right of inheritance!

Master Su shook his head again.

"If you hadn't taken the wrong path, how could he have thought of supporting Judy?"

"Put yourself in the emperor's shoes and imagine that your sons are colluding with foreign enemies, ready to rebel and seize power at any time."

"Do you intend to pass the throne to a few rebellious sons, or to the eldest son's well-behaved and sensible granddaughter who is devotedly attached to him?"

"If you pass it on to a rebellious son, the ancestral heritage might be divided up by others at any time! But if you pass it on to your granddaughter, as long as she doesn't marry out of wedlock, after she dies, the ancestral heritage will still be passed on to other descendants!"

Master Su's words made the three Zhu brothers look unhappy.

"What about a rebellious son? What about colluding with foreign enemies to usurp the throne? Master Su, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

Master Su smiled faintly.

"Why, was I wrong? Do you think the old man doesn't know about the collusion with overseas Freemasons?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three Zhu brothers all looked nervous.

"How...how did you know about this? Could it be that the old man..."

Master Su nodded slightly.

"That's right. Zhu Hongwu had already noticed something, so he refused to hand over Shennong Pharmaceutical to you."

"After all, once Shennong Pharmaceuticals falls into the hands of the Freemasons, it will completely sever ties with the Zhu family! The Zhu family's ancestral foundation will also be cut off!"

"I bet if he hadn't suddenly become seriously ill this time, Shennong Pharmaceutical would have been handed over to Judy!"

The three Zhu brothers had very interesting expressions on their faces at this time. They were panicked, regretful, but more of it was fear.

They didn't expect that their wishful thinking had already been seen through.

Yes, they did want to join the Freemasons.

Freemasonry, also known as the Stonemasons' Union, brings together major overseas financial groups.

The top ten overseas chaebol families are all members of the Freemasons.

To put it bluntly, the Freemasons can secretly manipulate elections in certain overseas countries and turn the entire country into a tool for them to transfer money.

But it's a pity.

The Freemasons could never reach Daxia.

Faced with the fat piece of meat of Daxia, all overseas tycoons are salivating.

Especially in recent years, as Daxia's economy has grown increasingly prosperous, they have tried many ways to infiltrate Daxia's business.

The final result was that everything was in vain.

They have no say in industries that are related to the national economy and people's livelihood of Daxia.

So, they turned their attention to some of the super-enterprises on Holy Island.

Shennong Pharmaceutical is one of their main targets.

Just imagine if Shennong Pharmaceutical, the largest pharmaceutical company in Daxia, was controlled by the Freemasons.

Then it is equivalent to strangling the necks of all the people of Daxia!

Just thinking about the profits makes people crazy!

"In fact, the Freemasons had already contacted Zhu Hongwu. Unfortunately, Zhu Hongwu was traditional in his thinking and was unwilling to hand over his ancestral heritage to others."

"That's why they found you three brothers and promised you huge profits..."

Master Su didn't know what benefits the Freemasons had given to Zhu Chengtai and the other two.

But it is conceivable that it was an offer of immense wealth that the three brothers could not refuse.

It just so happened that the three of them had no intention of managing Shennong Pharmaceuticals and had already made preparations to immigrate overseas with their huge wealth after the old man passed away.

Zhu Hongwu guessed this and was extremely disappointed with the three of them, so he turned to train Zhu Di.

Zhu Chengtai and the other two looked as pale as death for a moment.

"So that's how it is? The old man knew about it a long time ago?"

"No wonder, no wonder he was so wary of the three of us..."

"If that's the case, then there's no hope for the three of us, right?"

Seeing the three people's distraught expressions, Master Su's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile again.

"No, this test is your last hope!"
