Chapter 34 Family Meeting
Inside the main hall of the Marquis's residence, the entire family gathered, the atmosphere heavy and tense. Su Jinxiu remained calm, clutching tightly in her hands the evidence that was enough to expose the crimes of Su Yue and her daughter.
"I have gathered everyone here today to expose the shameful deeds of the Marquis's mansion and restore its reputation," Su Jinxiu said firmly, her gaze sweeping over everyone present.
Su Yue and her daughter sat to the side, looking flustered, their eyes revealing unease and fear.
Su Jinxiu presented the evidence one by one, detailing the various evil deeds of Su Yue and her daughter.
"They colluded with outsiders, attempting to harm the interests of the Marquis's mansion, and even framed me multiple times. Their intentions are despicable!" Su Jinxiu said righteously.
As the family members looked at the evidence, they whispered among themselves and pointed at Su Yue and her daughter.
"This is utterly disgracing the Marquis's mansion!" an elder said angrily.
Su Yue's mother hurriedly stood up to explain, "This is all a misunderstanding. Su Jinxiu deliberately framed my daughter and me!"
Su Jinxiu sneered: "The evidence is conclusive, yet you still dare to argue!"
Su Yue cried out, "Sister, why are you treating me like this? I'm your sister!"
Su Jinxiu's gaze was piercing: "Sister? Have you ever treated me as your older sister for even a moment? Your actions show absolutely no sisterly affection whatsoever!"
The old lady sat in the main seat, her face grim: "Su Yue and her daughter, now that things have come to this, what do you have to say?"
Su Yue and her daughter were speechless and slumped into their chairs.
“According to the Marquis’s family rules, Su Yue and her daughter’s crimes are serious and should be severely punished!” said a family elder.
The old lady nodded slightly: "From today onwards, Su Yue and her daughter are confined to the backyard and are not allowed to step out. Their monthly allowances will be reduced, and they should reflect on their actions."
Upon hearing this, Su Yue and her daughter cried even more pitifully: "Madam, please spare us!"
However, no one showed any pity.
After the family meeting, Su Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief. But she knew that this was only a temporary victory, and Su Yue and her daughter would certainly not let it go.
Sure enough, a few days later, Su Yue and her daughter began plotting a new scheme in their confined backyard.
"Mother, we can't just sit here and wait to die," Su Yue said through gritted teeth.
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Su Yue's mother's eyes: "Don't worry, daughter, we will find a chance to turn things around."
They decided to win over some people in the Marquis's mansion who were dissatisfied with Su Jinxiu in an attempt to regain their support.
Meanwhile, Su Jinxiu remained vigilant. She intensified surveillance of the backyard to prevent Su Yue and her daughter from making any further moves.
Meanwhile, she and Xiao Ling continued to investigate whether there were other forces supporting Su Yue and her daughter.
During this process, Su Jinxiu discovered that some of the Hou family's businesses were starting to run into problems, with cash flow issues and business partners terminating their contracts one after another.
"There must be something fishy about this," Su Jinxiu thought to herself.
After some investigation, she discovered that Su Yue and her daughter had secretly colluded with the Marquis's rivals to deliberately sabotage the Marquis's business.
Su Jinxiu informed the old lady and the rest of the family about this.
"This mother and daughter are truly incorrigible!" a tribesman said angrily.
The old lady was also furious: "They absolutely cannot be let off lightly this time!"
Su Jinxiu decided to handle the matter personally. She and Xiao Ling devised a detailed plan to resolve the crisis in the Marquis's mansion in one fell swoop.
However, just as they were preparing to take action, Su Yue and her daughter preemptively spread rumors that Su Jinxiu wanted to seize power in the Marquis's mansion and eliminate dissidents.
This rumor caused quite a stir in the Marquis's mansion, and some clansmen who were unaware of the truth began to doubt Su Jinxiu.
"What should we do?" Xiao Cui asked worriedly.
Su Jinxiu took a deep breath: "Don't panic, the truth will always come out."
She decided to convene a tribal assembly to clarify the facts.
At the conference, Su Jinxiu recounted the whole story in detail and presented more evidence.
"Everything I, Su Jinxiu, have done is for the prosperity of the Marquis's mansion; I have no selfish motives whatsoever," Su Jinxiu said.
Upon hearing this, the clansmen suddenly realized the truth and condemned the vicious actions of Su Yue and her mother.
"Expel Su Yue and her daughter from the Marquis's residence!" someone shouted.
Ultimately, by a unanimous decision, Su Yue and her daughter were expelled from the Marquis's residence and were never to return.
The Marquis's mansion finally returned to its former peace, and Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling's relationship became even stronger after going through all these ups and downs.
However, their story is far from over. The situation in the capital is becoming increasingly complex, and new challenges and opportunities await them...
