Chapter 1170 Unexpected Actions by Su Tianhuang
Su Tianhuang said faintly, "I understand!"
"Patriarch, you must get justice for us! My son's bones are shattered into several pieces, and he's still in the hospital. The doctor said he might have sequelae that will affect his future cultivation!"
Su Zihao's father said urgently, his eyes turning red.
This was partly pretense, but also contained genuine emotion.
Upon hearing this, the others also began to support Su Zihao's father. They not only demanded that the provincial Su family be barred from entering the capital, but also that the capital Su family order the provincial Su family to be punished.
Their malicious intent was obvious!
"Patriarch, the provincial Su family dares to be so arrogant even before entering the capital, even daring to beat the person you sent. This is blatant disrespect towards the capital Su family. It's clear they have no fear of the capital Su family, and we cannot allow their lineage to enter the capital Su family!"
"Patriarch, that branch of the provincial Su family has taken in a live-in son-in-law. I heard that this son-in-law is divorced, has been cuckolded, and is a worthless brat without morals or talent. How can such a person be worthy of the capital Su family?"
"We hope the Patriarch will abandon the idea of letting the provincial Su family branch enter, and not only let them fend for themselves but also severely punish that branch of the provincial Su family!"
However, facing the voluble speeches of everyone, Su Tianhuang remained expressionless and silent as gold.
"Patriarch..." Su Zihao's father called out softly.
Su Tianhuang ignored Su Zihao, instead turning to look at Su Mingyu and asking, "Mingyu, why are you here? Do you also want to seek justice for your brother?"
His tone carried a hint of coldness and authority.
Su Yue was about to speak, but Su Mingyu kicked him in the knee. With a "thump," he knelt before Su Tianhuang. Su Yue looked up and saw Su Tianhuang, and then he realized he had also knelt down.
What was going on?
The others were also stunned, not understanding.
Immediately after, Su Mingyu clasped his hands together, his face full of remorse, and bowed to Su Tianhuang, saying with a trembling voice:
"Patriarch, my brother has failed the Patriarch's trust and did not perfectly complete the mission to the provincial city, and even caused other Su family disciples to be beaten. My brother is guilty, and I beg the Patriarch for severe punishment!"
"The provincial Su family is not at fault; it is entirely my brother's fault for poor discipline!"
The minds of others were filled with questions.
Su Mingyu and Su Yue had appeared here, thinking they had the same objective, but now they were blaming themselves.
Su Yue was instantly dumbfounded.
Big brother, you're drawing all the fire onto me. Do you want me to die?
"It seems Mingyu is self-aware. Since you know you are guilty, you should have been severely punished. Given that you recognize your mistake, your brother will be caned thirty times and confined for a month as a warning!"
Su Tianhuang said sternly.
"Thank you, Patriarch!"
Su Mingyu repeatedly thanked him, and couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Brother, why should I be punished? I'm also a victim?" Su Yue said indignantly.
"Shut up! Quickly thank the Patriarch for not taking your life."
Su Mingyu scolded him, filled with disappointment. Why is this guy so stupid? Can't he see what's happening?
"Thank… thank you, Patriarch…"
Su Yue said reluctantly, tears welling up in his heart.
Su Tianhuang nodded slightly and turned to look at the others, "Do you have anything else to say?"
His previous words had caused everyone's minds to short-circuit.
There was a moment of silence, and then Su Zihao's father said in a deep voice, "Patriarch, they beat my son. Please grant us justice."
Su Tianhuang glanced at the others and asked, "Do you all agree?"
"Yes, we all agree!"
"You say the provincial Su family deliberately caused trouble for you, but as far as I know, it was Su Zihao who first harassed the friends of the provincial Su family, which led to the conflict. Su Zihao was beaten, and others acted without discerning right from wrong, which is why this happened."
Su Tianhuang's gaze swept over everyone like lightning, and he said coldly, "Do you think I am right?"
Anyone caught in Su Tianhuang's gaze felt their scalp tingle!
They hadn't expected Su Tianhuang to know everything about this matter!
At this moment, a chill ran down their spines. This matter was probably not as simple as they thought.
"Your sons were provoking trouble, harassing others, refusing to admit their mistakes, and then deliberately filing false complaints. Each will be caned one hundred times and then go to the Disciplinary Hall to receive punishment!"
Everyone was incredulous.
One hundred canings would surely leave their precious sons scarred and bloody!
The Disciplinary Hall was the most severe place for punishing clan members in the capital Su family. Going there would mean losing at least a layer of skin!
"Patriarch, are you really going to protect the provincial Su family?" Su Zihao's father said unyieldingly.
"It's not that I'm protecting the provincial Su family, but you have overstepped your bounds!" Su Tianhuang said coldly.
At these words, it was as if thunder struck in everyone's minds.
Indeed, Su Tianhuang had asked the provincial Su family to return to the capital, but with this incident, it was clear they were not giving Su Tianhuang face. It was like slapping Su Tianhuang in the face, wasn't this stirring up trouble for Su Tianhuang?
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
"They deserve to be punished, they deserve to be punished..." Su Zihao's father and the others all backed down.
However, they still harbored intense hostility towards the provincial Su family!
Seeing this scene, Su Yue gulped hard. He glanced sharply at his brother Su Mingyu. If it weren't for his brother, he, as the person in charge of this task, would likely not have escaped two hundred military sticks!
At this thought, Su Yue felt a surge of lingering fear!
"This matter ends here! Everyone go back quickly!" Su Tianhuang said, then turned and walked into his residence with the old housekeeper.
The others exchanged glances, not expecting such an outcome!
They hadn't expected it, and Tian Haidan and Su Yongnian, the couple, certainly hadn't.
Bang!
Upon hearing about this, Tian Haidan slammed the ashtray on the table to the ground.
Gray and white ash scattered all over the floor.
Dust filled the room, and only Tian Haidan's hysterical roar could be heard: "Why did things turn out like this? Why!"
At this moment, Tian Haidan seemed to have gone mad, her expression ferocious. The servants beside her trembled fearfully, their faces pale. The timid ones even wet their pants, truly afraid of being implicated.
Su Yongnian sat on the sofa, his brow furrowed, his expression grim, smoking silently.
"Hurry up and think of a solution!"
After venting her fury, Tian Haidan came to Su Yongnian's side and said coldly, "Why are you so useless? We are from the capital Su family, and both our sons are dead. All you do is smoke!"
"Smoke!"
"I'll make you smoke!"
Tian Haidan snatched the cigarette from Su Yongnian's hand and threw it fiercely to the ground. Her high-heeled shoe crushed the cigarette, as if what was under her foot was not a cigarette, but Chen Xuan's head.
"Enough! Stop going crazy!" Su Yongnian finally roared.
Tian Haidan stiffened and glared at Su Yongnian, "You call me crazy? How dare you call me crazy? You'll sleep on the sofa tonight!"
Women are always unreasonable, whether they are ordinary citizens or those in high positions.
Did he mean that?
Based on years of experience in their struggles, Su Yongnian knew that at this moment, it was best not to explain. The more he explained, the more it would be his fault. He said solemnly, "I've already thought of a solution!"
