The Peerless Servant

After visiting the Duke of the State, the Prince's Mansion, and the Prince of Wu's Mansion, an unexpected person sent a visiting card to Huo Chenan.

That was the most famous prostitute in Jinling, Miss Mudan.

It was said that Miss Mudan could not sleep that night after listening to the song of the Smiling Proud Wanderer. She had never heard such a strange song before, and it was a torture for her, a tone-deaf person.

After being anxious, she decided to invite Huo Chenan to discuss it, so she sent a visiting card to Huo Chenan today.

When the man entered the Su family ancestral hall with the visiting card, everyone in the ancestral hall smelled a faint fragrance, which seemed to be able to seduce people, and everyone present looked intoxicated.

The servant hurried into the ancestral hall, holding a red visiting card in both hands and reported loudly: "Report, Jinling's number one prostitute, Miss Mudan, specially invites Huo Chenan to talk about music theory."

"Hiss." Everyone in the ancestral hall took a breath of cold air. Although everyone had some resistance after the baptism just now, the impact this time was no less than the previous one.

You must know that even if the nobles want to see this Miss Mudan, they have to see if she is willing to see her. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is more difficult to see her than to see the emperor.

The man looked at Huo Chenan with jealousy. This guy is taller, more handsome, and smarter than me. How can he compare with me? Miss Mudan is really blind.

The woman looked at Huo Chenan with doubts. Could it be that Huo Chenan has some special "strengths"? Thinking of this, the women's eyes could not help but move down.

Just as everyone was imagining, Su Linglong and Su Ruyi shouted at the same time: "Don't go!" The sisters looked at each other in surprise, and their faces blushed. Huo Chenan also looked at the two sisters in surprise. Su Linglong immediately reacted and explained: "My Su family is an honest family. How can you, a little servant, go in and out of places of entertainment and insult my Su family's reputation?" The little girl hurriedly responded beside him: "Sister is right." Huo Chenan looked at the two sisters who shared the same hatred and enemies with a confused face: "I didn't say I was going? How did it escalate to personal attacks? Humph, I will be free in two months. By then, the sky is high and the birds can fly, the forest is big and the birds can play, and the nests are many. Well, the birds may be a little tired." After sending the guests away, the Su family continued the meeting, but the people of the second house were like defeated roosters, with their heads drooping, no longer as arrogant as before. The great uncle looked around the people in the ancestral hall with dignity and said: "The eldest house knows how to use people, and it has turned the tide and supported the building when it was about to collapse. The grand occasion of the eldest brother's admiration by the people in the past will be restored. The revival of the Su family is just around the corner."

Here, the great uncle paused for a moment, looked at Su Linglong and said: "Linglong girl, you have suffered a lot in these years. It is not easy for a woman to be the head of the family. From today on, anyone who disobeys Linglong's orders will be punished by the family law."

The last sentence was said to everyone present.

Su Linglong bowed to the great uncle, and then bowed to all the Su family members present, and slowly said:

"Today, Linglong is entrusted by the old ancestor, and she will spare no effort to bring the Su family to glory."

"Hurrah" the cheers and applause seemed to overturn the roof of the Su family's ancestral hall. The servants and maids of the first branch were all excited. Except for the second branch, the other Su family members also clapped their hands hard, fearing that the head of the family, who was in the prime of his career, would bear a grudge against them.

After the meeting, everyone walked out of the ancestral hall, some were proud, and some returned in defeat.

"Second uncle, please stay."

Just when Su Youshou was about to leave the Su family's ancestral hall, Su Linglong stopped him.

After everyone left, only Su Linglong, Su Youshou and the great uncle were left in the ancestral hall.

"Hmph, niece Linglong, why did you keep me here? Are you going to show off to me as a winner?" Although Su Youshou had already lost, he still mocked her to the utmost.

Su Linglong was not angry either, and said in a light tone: "I hope my second uncle can hand over his property and live at home in peace."

Su Youshou and his great uncle were stunned when they heard Su Linglong's words.

The great uncle advised: "Linglong doesn't have to do this, right?"

Su Youshou sneered disdainfully. He lost today, but there was no way he could hand over his property.

Su Linglong didn't say much. She took out three books and a small bag from her sleeves.

She opened the small bag first, poured the items inside into her palm, and came to the great uncle and said: "Great uncle, please smell it."

The great uncle saw that what Su Linglong had in her palm was just ordinary rice, and he was full of doubts in his heart, but he still smelled it.

"Kerosene?" The great uncle said uncertainly.

Su Youshou's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he scolded coldly: "Linglong, what are you up to again?"

Su Linglong ignored him, but presented one of the three booklets to the great uncle, and slowly said in the gap between the other party's inspection: "After the Su family's granary caught fire, Huo Chenan went to check it out."

Su Youshou's heart skipped a beat, why is there this Huo Chenan everywhere?

"He found that the grain in the Su family's granary was all poured with kerosene."

The great uncle's eyes showed shock when he heard this, someone wanted to put the Su family in a place where there was no return.

"He also found that the amount of grain stored in the Su family's granary did not match the record."

Su Youshou's eyes went dark when he heard this and he almost fell to the ground.

"So I investigated the accounts of the Su family's farm." Su Linglong said here and turned to Su Youshou.

"Uncle, you have been managing the farm for many years and have enriched yourself. This year, there is a severe drought and I have to open the warehouse for grain. So Uncle decided to burn down the Su family's granary and burn all the evidence."

Uncle's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He looked at Su Youshou in disbelief. At this time, he was so scared that his face turned pale and his legs were shaking.

"This account book is the evidence of Uncle's corruption that Linglong has collected during this period, including farms, workshops, dyeing workshops and cloth shops."

Su Linglong paused, and handed the last two books to Uncle and said:

"In order to destroy the evidence, Uncle and his son did not hesitate to kill people to silence them."

Uncle felt that his heart was about to be unable to bear it when he heard this. He thought that greed for money was forgivable, but killing for money was different. This showed that the murderer was cruel and had no morals. He could kill people for money today, but could he kill himself for money tomorrow?

Feeling the cold eyes of his great uncle, Su Youshou knelt down and said, "Great uncle, you must not listen to her one-sided words." Su Linglong ignored Su Youshou and continued, "Tianzhuang servant Cai Laoliu was found dead in the firewood room of the Su Mansion. Thanks to Huo Chenan's alertness, he found many suspicious points and found a roast chicken bone in the mouth of the deceased. These two books are the records of the preparation and consumption of roast chicken in the kitchen that day. Only my second cousin Su Jianqiang ate a roast chicken that day." "Maybe it was a roast chicken brought in by an outsider?" Su Youshou argued. "Roast chicken is a unique delicacy of my Su family." Su Linglong said lightly. Bang, Su Youshou sat down on the ground of the ancestral hall in dejection, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
