Medical Sovereign Chapter 371 - Enforcement of Domestic Discipline

These short-sighted guys did not see through the Zhao Family’s wild ambition at all. The Zhao Family had been constantly corroding the properties of the Su Family these years, but these guys felt that they themselves were really excellent and kept a very close relations.h.i.+p with the Zhao Family as if they were one.

“Enough, it was I who approved Girl Xiang to go to Ninghai to prepare the birthday gift for Old Bai. What’s the trouble for the Zhao Family to know about it? If there is any trouble, ask them to come to me. Humph, speak this about the Zhao Family and speak that about the Zhao Family, or will our Su Family perish without the help of the Zhao Family? I am still alive, but you can’t wait to hug close the powerful Zhao Family; if I die, will the Su Family not become the lackey of the Zhao Family?”

Master Su, who had been keeping his eyes narrowed, could not bear their words anymore and went furious. The performance of these members of the Su Family had angered him and almost killed him.

The noisy questioning was suddenly silenced by it. They never thought that the Master would defend the culprit Su Ningxiang. The Master was the pillar of the Su Family. If he became ill because of the anger, the Su Family would degenerate from a Great Family to an Aristocratic Family. This was something that they were unwilling to see.

Yes, in the entire Shenzhou, those that could be called Great Families were only a few, ranked from Great Families to Aristocratic Families, to Famous Families, and to Prestigious Clans. The Su Family was on the lowest cla.s.s of the Great Families, but it was still among them.

The reason why the Su Family could be included in the Great Families was that Master Su was a founding father of the nation. Compared with the Masters being Generals and Great Generals in other Great Families, Master Su only took a back seat as a Lieutenant General because of his illness, but no matter what, he was one of the few founding fathers of the nation. As long as he was alive, the Su Family was a true Great Family, and no one could dare to belittle it.

Although the Zhao Family was in the limelight and was likely to become the head of the Aristocratic Families, it was still an emerging family without a founding father of the nation, a little far away from a Great Family due to its less important background. However, as children of a Great Family, these unworthy descendants went to hug close an Aristocratic Family. This was why Master Su went furious.

“Father, we are not countering Ningxiang, nor are we hugging close the powerful Zhao Family, but Ningxiang made a promise in the past, after all. At that time, the Zhao Family did not kill that man and his son, and it can be regarded as their friendliness to us. Now you also know our Su Family’s situation. Please forgive me to say something offensive to you: Once you pa.s.s away, I am afraid our Su Family will not even be able to keep an Aristocratic Family’s t.i.tle. Getting on well with the Zhao Family is also a strategy. With the support of the Zhao Family, we will be able to continue to be an Aristocratic Family at least. Father, we should take our family’s profit as our top profit.”

Su Zhengdong cleared his dry throat and a.n.a.lyzed the situation for Master Su with a thick skin.

Master Su closed his eyes with tiredness and heaved deep sighs. What Su Zhengdong said was strongly utilitarian, but Master Su had to admit that his words touched his heart.

In the past, he took a back seat due to his illness, making the Su Family fall to the lowest cla.s.s of the Great Families. Thus, he felt sorry for half of his life. For a person like him who had been proud and ambitious, this was really unbearable.

More frustratingly, some of his previous subordinate soldiers finally rose to higher positions than his and became Generals and even Great Generals. So, it was impossible for him to feel at ease.

Although many people of the Su Family worked in the political and military sectors, none of them were promising, and all of them were aggressive at home. If no one could become a General or a Member of the Standing Committee of the Central Bureau, once he pa.s.sed away, the Great Family’s position of the Su Family would be lost.

By then, it would not be bad even if the Su Family was reduced to an Aristocratic Family, but with the current situation that the descendants of the Su Family trying to lean close to the powerful and the n.o.ble with their spineless character, he was afraid that they could not even maintain an Aristocratic Family’s t.i.tle, and it was also possible for the family to degenerate to a Famous Family.

But his idea was different from Su Zhengdong’s idea of currying favor with the Zhao Family. Even though the Zhao Family was the head of the Aristocratic Families, the family was not something important in his eyes, for his target was the Bai Family of the Great Families, and racking his brains to ask Su Ningxiang to prepare the birthday gift for Old Bai was to make preparations for the future of the Su Family.

Old Bai was once his long-time subordinate. Although Old Bai got a higher position later, his relations.h.i.+p with him was not broken. If he pa.s.sed away, Old Bai would take their old relations.h.i.+p into account and help the Su Family.

With the help of the Bai Family, as long as the descendants of the Su Family did not act recklessly, to maintain the Aristocratic Family’s t.i.tle was still hopeful, but with a strong temper, he would not lower his profile to ask his previous subordinate for help.

Among so many descendants of the Su Family, only Ningxiang saw his intention through and took the initiative to prepare a satisfying birthday gift for Master Bai.

The grandfather and his granddaughter reached a tacit deal. He supported Su Ningxiang to visit Ninghai, and without losing his face, Su Ningxiang helped him ask the Bai Family to help the Su Family after he died.

Different from the incompetent younger generation of the Su Family, the descendants of the Bai Family had made remarkable achievements in the political, military, and business sectors, and the family had many talents.

Currently, the prominent achievement of the Su Family was only the Datang Group managed by Su Ningxiang, but the family had no great achievements in the political and military sectors.

In fact, he was very clear about what those in front of him wanted to do. Undoubtedly, they envied Su Ningxiang controlling the economic lifeline of the Su Family and wanted to take her power and get the best interests.

Thinking of this, Master Su was full of disappointment and sadness. It was not a big deal for these people to be incompetent, but they wanted to control more with their limited ability. If he relented and allowed them to manage Datang Group, that would be the deadly end of the Su Family.

When these people with their selfish ideas found that Master Su was silent, they thought that he had been successfully persuaded, so their arrogance that had just subdued somewhat began to become strong again.

“Ningxiang, as your uncle, I have to blame you because you went to Ninghai to prepare the birthday gift. Do you know how many people are looking for the Master of the Divine Burin to carve works? He is very mysterious, so how could you make sure you could find him? It’s impossible for you to find him, or even though you find him, he may not easily do it for you.”

Su Zhengdong said sarcastically, “In Yan Jing, numerous people want to have the works of the Master of the Divine Burin but can’t get. Do you know the prices that the four ornaments sold at the Ninghai auction have risen to?”

“How much?”

Su Zhengxi had the potential to be a Chinese crosstalk actor’s a.s.sistant and asked the question cooperatively.

“The cheapest auctioned ornament with a price of 1.8 billion yuan has now sold 2.6 billion yuan and has been bought by the Yinggeli Royal Family, and the family has also announced that they would like to buy the 2.3 billion ‘moonlight lion’ ornament with 3 billion. If new works of the Master of the Divine Burin appear, they would like to buy them with higher prices. Then, even though you find him, how much will you pay him for carving something for you? Is it that you will exchange it with the shares of Datang Group of our Su Family?”

Su Zhengdong said with a sneer. Shocked by the sky-high prices, everyone cried out.

“Su Ningxiang, you have been to Ninghai to look for the Master of the Divine Burin, haven’t you? Did you find him? Let’s appreciate his artwork.”

“Humph, if you could have made the Master of the Divine Burin do it, I would twist off my head to give you as a football to kick.”

“Right, the Master of the Divine Burin is not stupid. He won’t lose the chance to make money. As long as he carves works and sells them to the Yinggeli Royal Family, he will earn more than 10 billion at least, so how can he make something for others to sell?”

“It is hard to tell. If Stunning Beauty Su acts coyly, plays coquettish, or shows off her grace, maybe the Master of Divine Burin will be seduced and help her. Cluck.”

“We still have no idea about the taste of the Master of the Divine Burin. Maybe he likes such a charming middle-aged woman.”

…

Members of the Su Family’s words became more and more disgusting and outrageous, making Su Ningxiang turn sullen.

“Shut up!”

Master Su suddenly opened his turbid old eyes, which glittered with a smart look. It seemed that he became an awoken lion with a terrifying momentum, making everyone quite scared.

“3 billion? Hehe, for such small sums of money, you abandon our blood relations.h.i.+ps and fabricate stories with your f.u.c.king mouths, which are like broken soles. Our Su Family has really become… more and more unruly.”

Master Su was so furious that he smiled, but he suddenly became serious and shouted severely, “Guards!”

Four expressionless old men with an eerie air appeared like ghosts and bowed in unison to Master Su.

Master Su showed anger in his majestic eyes, pointed at Su Xiuyun and Su Wanyu who had spoken filthy words, and said coldly, “Take them away and slap each of them 10 times with a small plank according to our domestic discipline.”

“Grandpa, don’t, I am wrong, and I won’t dare to do that again!”

“Grandpa, have mercy, and I know I am wrong…”

The two women were so scared that they turned extremely pale and fell on their knees to kowtow for mercy.

“Father, they…”

The expressions of Su Zhengdong and Su Zhengxi changed dramatically, and they hurriedly opened their mouths to beg for mercy, but Master Su glared at them with the words “Anyone who dares to beg mercy for them will also be punished with our domestic discipline.” Thus, they held their tongues so hard that their faces turned red, but they did not dare to utter a word anymore.

“Yes!”

Four seniors unhesitatingly took out two pieces of small planks covered with dried bloodstains, held the two women mercilessly, and slapped them.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

A series of screams sounded on site, making every one of the Su Family quite scared, and they trembled and lowered their heads. For so many years, the Su Family had not enforced their domestic discipline, so they had long forgotten the majesty of the Master. Now when they witnessed the past experience again, they realized that the “old tiger” was still ferocious and he was still the ruler of the Su Family.

As for the four seniors, they had been Master Su’s bodyguards for a lifetime and were loyal to him. Not only were they the fighting power holders of the Su Family, but they were also the enforcers of the domestic discipline, and even Su Zhengdong and his three brothers needed to be polite to them and did not dare to treat them with insolent manners.

The four seniors. .h.i.t with excellent skills. It seemed that they hit very hard, but the injuries were only on the skin. Anything that left after-effects or caused disability like teeth blown off would never happen.

After the 10 slaps, the two women’s mouths were smeared with blood, their heads were like pig heads, and their lips were so swollen as big sausages. They were so miserable that no one could bear to take a straight look.

The two kneeling women did not even dare to whimper, for fear that they would offend the Master and get punished again with the domestic discipline.

The old faces of Su Zhengdong and his brother kept twitching. Since their daughters were punished with the domestic discipline, they, their fathers, were also disgraced, but facing the majesty of their father, they did not dare to utter a single word.

Su Zhengbei lowered his head, and his eyes glittered with unknown ideas. He knew that his Eldest Brother Su Zhengdong had been unhappy with the Master pa.s.sing the family owner’s position to his Second Brother Su Zhengnan, and his Third Brother Su Zhengxi hated Su Ningxiang for her breaking of the pledge of marriage that affected his future development, so he countered Su Ningxiang all the time.

Initially, he did not want to get involved, but his Eldest Brother and Third Brother urged him to come. So, after he came, he just spoke something neutral and then stopped talking.

Now, when he saw Su Wanyu and her sister’s miserable condition, he couldn’t help feeling lucky for his daughter Su Wanyi who did not come here today. Otherwise, with her usual hostile temper against Su Ningxiang, she would have also been punished with the domestic discipline today.

But what on earth did the Master mean? Did he want to show obvious partiality to his protection of Su Ningxiang or other deep ideas? It was hard to guess.

Su Zhenxiong and his other cousins who had satirized Su Ningxiang were so scared that they s.h.i.+vered like quails, and they nearly drooped their heads to the floor, afraid that the Master would take them out and punish them.

Su Ningxiang looked expressionless, but she felt happy like never before. These so-called family members had never treated her as their family member. Every time they met her, they spoke to her with irony or evil intentions. It was even too hard to imagine how venomous their words were, and she had long wanted to smash their f*cking mouths.

“Do you guys think I’m unfair and partial to Ningxiang? So, you feel very unconvinced?”

Master Su narrowed his eyes and asked lightly.

He had experienced b.l.o.o.d.y battles and wars in his life, so this scene was only a piece of cake for him, and he showed no mercy at all.
