The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

Looking at Su Cheng who had gone completely crazy, Liu Chunmei was terrified.

The Su family is not afraid of death, but she is. She is just a person running a business. She has backers, but she can't afford to offend the Queen.

Who is the Queen? She is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei and is Yun Li’s current regent.

What does the regent do? The regent's status is equivalent to that of the emperor himself.

How many heads would be chopped off for insulting the emperor?

She didn't want to send her head to be chopped off like this.

Not only did he insult the emperor, but he also dared to say in public that he wanted to rebel and become emperor. Such treasonous words would result in the extermination of his entire family.

The last person who dared to be so arrogant and bold is now dead. Thinking of this, Liu Chunmei just wanted to faint immediately and pretend that she didn't see or hear anything.

"Boss lady, what are you still daydreaming about?" Someone close to the Su family rushed out and yelled at Liu Chunmei, "Master Su San has drunk too much and is confused. You've also drunk too much, are you confused?"

"Why don't you call someone over quickly, knock him out, and send him down to rest."

Liu Chunmei regained consciousness after being yelled at and quickly ordered, "Are you all dead? Hurry up and drag them away!"

Liu Chunmei's roar made the servants and thugs rush forward and surround Su Cheng, who was still talking nonsense.

"Knock him out and carry him away!"

Liu Chunmei's roar almost resounded throughout the Zuiyue Tower, but everyone who should have heard what Su Cheng said just now had already heard it, and it was too late to stop the loss now.

With Liu Chunmei's order, the servants and thugs rushed forward and knocked Su Cheng unconscious in no time.

Liu Chunmei looked at Su Cheng who had fainted on the ground, and she wished she could go up and kick him a couple more times to vent her hatred.

"Aunt Mei, what should we do now?"

Seeing that Liu Chunmei didn't say anything, everyone looked at her.

"What should I do? What should I do? What else can I do? Go to the Su family and call for help. Tell them to get rid of this evildoer!"

"I'm so unlucky to have met such a bastard."

"If he wants to die, then go ahead and die. Why did he have to come here and cause trouble for me?"

Liu Chunmei now wants to die. Su Cheng has hurt her badly this time. She is afraid that her Zuiyue Tower will have to close down.

Such a big thing happened in Zuiyue Tower. Not only did Liu Chunmei have no intention of running the business, even those who came here for fun had no intention of staying here, for fear that they would be implicated if they left a step late.

Soon, the people from Zuiyue Tower found Su Wenhao who was meeting friends nearby.

The man didn't even explain why and just dragged Su Wenhao out of the private room.

"What are you doing? Pulling and tugging like this is really disrespectful." Su Wenhao stroked away the hand that was grabbing his clothes and adjusted his clothes with a look of disgust.

"Mr. Su, something big has happened." The visitor didn't care about Su Wenhao's disdain, pulled him aside, and told him what had just happened in Zuiyue Tower.

Everyone who heard Su Wenhao was stunned. "Mr. Su, now is not the time to be idle. Hurry and think of a solution. The guests in Zuiyue Tower saw and heard what Third Master Su said today."

"If you don't find a solution, we'll all meet in Ping'anli."

Ping'anli is where Yun Li executed criminal officials and death row prisoners. It is called Ping'anli, but in fact it is a bloody killing place.

Su Wenhao calmed himself down and said, "Hold on to me and let's go quickly."

Upon hearing this, the man quickly supported Su Wenhao and helped him onto the carriage.

The carriage soon arrived at Zuiyue Tower. As Su Wenhao got off the carriage and walked in, Liu Chunmei came to greet him.

"Mr. Su, you are finally here." Seeing Su Wenhao, Liu Chunmei felt like she had seen a savior.

Su Wenhao has come to Zuiyue Tower many times over the years, but he did not come to Zuiyue Tower for pleasure like others, but for his disappointing great-uncle Su Cheng.

"Hurry up and think of a solution. I don't want this Zuiyue Tower to be shut down tomorrow. Being homeless is a small matter. The most terrifying thing is that if my head is chopped off, I'll have nothing left."

Liu Chunmei has been in this romantic world for decades and has experienced many ups and downs and seen the world, but now her mind is full of thoughts about whether her head will move tomorrow, no, strictly speaking, tonight.

She did not know the current Empress, but the stories about her were spread all over the capital.

This is a ruthless character who is decisive, capable and resourceful. In just a short period of time in power, he has brought about earth-shaking changes in the court and the people of Yunli.

Not only is she capable, she also has a powerful and unshakable family behind her, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, to support her.

Looking around the world, who can compete with her, and who is qualified to compete with her?

If you offend the queen, you will basically be sentenced to death without any suspense.

"Boss Liu, calm down first." Su Wenhao looked at the panicked Liu Chunmei and tried his best to comfort her with a calm tone to calm her down.

"Who was there when my Third Grandfather was making a scene? Did they hear all those outrageous words he said?"

"Mr. Su, our Zuiyue Tower is open for business at night. When Mr. Su San came to cause trouble just now, business was booming."

"At least half of the lords and young masters from various mansions in Shangjing City are here."

"Master Su San started making a scene in the hall as soon as he came in. I think everyone heard what he said."

"If not, look inside and outside this building right now. Apart from my own people, there is no outsider here."

"Didn't everyone just scatter so quickly because they heard such outrageous words and were afraid of being implicated?"

"Mr. Su, this disaster was caused by your Third Master. You can't just ignore my Zuiyue Tower."

Liu Chunmei was now so panicked that she had no idea what to do. All she could think of was to cling to the Su family and escape.

"Oh my God, if half of the noble families in Shangjing City know about this, doesn't that mean all the noble families in Shangjing City know about it?"

Su Wenhao lost his balance and nearly fell down. If his servant had not been quick enough to catch him, he would have been badly injured.

"Sir, are you okay?" The servant looked at Su Wenhao, whose face was pale, and was very worried.

"Wenzhu, don't worry about me. Go back and tell my father about this. Tell him to go find the old man and tell him what's going on here. Let him come up with a plan."

Su Wenhao pushed Wenzhu away and urged him to leave quickly.

Wen Zhu also knew the urgency of the matter. After helping Su Wenhao sit down, he ran out to report the news.

Liu Chunmei looked anxiously at Su Wenhao, who was already at a loss, and sighed in her heart.

She originally thought that she could cling to the Su family and escape this disaster, but now it seems that this is not very feasible.

It seems that she has to find other ways. Nothing is more important than saving her life now.

So Liu Chunmei turned around and left without caring that Su Wenhao was still there.

The play was almost over, and everyone who should have seen it had already seen it, so Su Wenhao didn't want to pretend anymore.

He stood up and told the people he brought with him, "Go and bring the Third Master out and send him back to the Su family."

Those people immediately went upstairs, carried down Su Cheng who had been knocked unconscious, put him on a carriage and sent him back to the Su family.

Su Cheng went back to the Su family, and Su Wenhao naturally had to follow him.

From this moment on, the real drama is about to begin.

When Su Yang received the news brought back by Wen Zhu, he was so panicked that he didn't even put on his outer clothes. He only wore his inner clothes and ran to see Su Chang.

Su Chang had never seen his son appear in front of him in such a panic and disheveled state.

However, Su Chang did not blame Su Yang. He knew in his heart that his son was a very stable person. If nothing serious had happened, he would never appear in front of him like this.

"Ah Si, go get Second Master a cloak. It's so cold at night. If you don't dress properly, you might catch a cold."

Although Su Chang does not dote on his son Su Yang, he still values ​​Su Yang very much. After all, all the affairs of the Su family outside in recent years have been managed by this son.

Not only the Su family, but he also cannot do without the help of Su Yang, his right-hand man.

"Father, something happened." Su Yang spoke without even catching his breath.

"I know, don't panic, just speak slowly." Su Chang, who didn't know what had happened at this moment, still looked calm.

"Father, my third uncle left home today. I don't know where he got drunk and ran to Zuiyue Tower to cause trouble."

"He still harbored resentment towards the Empress for her rebuke of him that day in Zhenghe Palace, so he went on a rampage in Zuiyue Tower, insulting the Empress."

"His insults to the Empress were minor offenses, but he actually said in front of everyone that our Su family was going to rebel and that he wanted to take over and become the emperor of Yunli."

After hearing Su Yang's words, Su Chang was stunned for a long time. "This evil creature! My Su family is really going to perish at the hands of this evil creature!"

"I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and let him go. I should have killed him and put an end to his troubles forever."

Su Chang felt that all the blood in his body rushed to his forehead, and he was in danger of falling to the ground suddenly.

He has been on guard inside and outside for these years, but he still couldn't prevent this evil creature from harming the Su family.

The fate of the Su family, Yun Li's second family, is likely to be rewritten from today on.

"Father, when Third Uncle was causing trouble at Zuiyue Tower, I heard that many young masters from aristocratic families were present. I'm afraid this incident has spread throughout Shangjing City by now."

"I'm afraid that person in the palace will also know about it soon."

"Father, you must make a decision soon. Otherwise, once that person in the palace finds out, I'm afraid our Su family will be doomed today."

Su Yang glanced at Su Chang secretly and decided to take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. Only when the time was right could he force this old fox into a desperate situation, leaving him with no way back and forcing him to take the risk and cooperate with Li Chaohui.

What the father and son are fighting for now is to win over the hearts and minds of the people. As long as Su Yang can keep calm, he will have the upper hand.

Su Chang's heart tightened again. Although he had not been to the court for a long time and was retired at home, he had not missed any of the affairs in the court.

The Empress's methods are much more clever than the Emperor's.

The Su family had offended her once before because of Su Wenzhi's incident.

Su Cheng's action this time has completely rigidified the relationship between the two, making it difficult to maintain the current unrelated state.

"Where's Su Cheng? Beat him to death, and then I'll bring his body into the palace to plead guilty to the Empress."

Now that Su Chang was living under someone else's roof, he had to bow his head, put aside his pride and status, and beg Shen Tianjiao to show mercy and let the Su family go.

"Third Uncle hasn't come back yet. Wenhao is still taking care of him in Zuiyue Tower."

"Father, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to bring your third uncle's body into the palace to apologize."

"Bringing a corpse before the Empress is a capital offense of disrespect. Don't let the Empress's wrath subside by then, and if you offend Her Majesty, wouldn't that be an even greater offense?"

Su Chang was so angry that he wanted to take Su Cheng's body into the palace to apologize.

If he were a little more sober at this moment, he would not do such a thing.

Su Yang knew very well that if he pushed the issue a little more, Su Chang would probably take the bait and let him do whatever he wanted.

"Yes, I was so angry that I lost my mind. I couldn't bring Su Cheng's body to the palace to apologize. I offended the emperor, which is also a capital crime."

Su Chang sighed, and suddenly felt exhausted and weak, unable to do anything.

"Although we can't bring Su Cheng's body into the palace to apologize, he still has to be beaten to death."

"You can't do it. Let the servants at home do it. People like him will only bring disaster if they keep him around."

"Kill all the servants in his yard. They didn't guard the place diligently. This is the retribution they deserve."

Su Chang has always been a ruthless person. He is cold and ruthless to everyone except Su Wenzhi, who has high hopes for his upbringing.

He could kill his own brother at will, let alone those servants who had nothing to do with him.

Su Yang had long been accustomed to Su Chang's cruelty.

Su Yang sighed silently in his heart. In his opinion, it was not so much that the Su family was going to perish at the hands of Su Cheng, but rather that they were going to perish at the hands of the ruthlessness of the successive heads of the Su family.

The two people were talking in the room when someone came outside to report that Su Wenhao had returned with Su Cheng.

When Su Chang heard that Su Cheng was back, he was furious. His eyes turned red and he said to Su Yang, "Come on, help dad go out and take a look."

Su Yang stepped forward to support Su Chang and said carefully: "Dad, now that things have come to this, you should take better care of your body."

"There's nothing in this family that doesn't require your concern. If you get sick from anger, what will happen to this whole family?"
