Hearing those words, the faces of both Su Chang An and Su Ke Ji changed.
Just as Su Cheng An was about to take action, Su Chen had already gripped onto the throat of the child and lifted him up, "If anyone moves, I will kill him with a toss."
Everyone froze.
"My child!" Yan Wu Shuang screamed.
As she tried to s.n.a.t.c.h her child, Su Chen used his other hand to grip her throat, "You should first worry about yourself."
With a rise of his leg, he kicked Yan Wu Shuang's knees, causing her to kneel onto the ground.
"Su Chen!" Su Cheng An shouted angrily, "What an unfilial son like you is planning to do? Faster release your younger brother and aunt!"
"What I am planning?" Su Chen smiled, "Naturally is to properly settle my debts with this Fourth Aunt."
Su Cheng An continued, "I understand that you are angry that we hosted a celebratory banquet despite not knowing if you are alive or not, however…"
"It has nothing to do with the banquet." Su Chen interrupted.
"What?" Su Cheng An was stupefied for a moment: "Then what are you doing this for?"
"You should ask her what had she done." Su Chen used his chin to point at Yan Wu Shuang.
Yan Wu Shuang's heart started to beat faster: "I didn't do anything…"
Pa!
Yan Wu Shuang was viciously slammed onto the ground by Su Chen, he followed up by stepping on her beautiful face that countless people were jealous of.
Seeing the beautiful face distorting under Su Chen's foot, everyone felt heartache.
Su Chen continued, "You made two attempts to sabotage me behind everyone's back, the second time, you even asked someone to sell me a Beast Luring Potion by saying it's a Beast Repelling Potion, you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"
Yan Wu Shuang was stunned.
Everyone gathered began to clamor.
None of them were stupid.
Selling a Beast Luring Potion by saying it is a Beast Repelling Potion, coupled with the fact that Su Chen just returned from the Deep Red Mountain Range, everyone knew what that meant."
Even Su Cheng An also stared wide-eyed at Yan Wu Shuang, "Wu Shuang, you did this?"
Yan Wu Shuang knew that she's in trouble and quickly shouted, "I am wrongly accused, Husband, I am being wrongly accused, this had nothing to do with me. I do not know what Beast Luring Potion or Beast Repelling Potion, I am just a common woman, how would I know such things?"
"You still dare to deny it?" Su Chen snorted coldly, "You did learn from your mistakes and specially found a middle man to follow your plan, even hiding your real ident.i.ty. Unfortunately, you thought that I would never be able to find out who this middleman was? That middle man is called Old Sly Li, right?"
Hearing his words, Yan Wu Shuang's psychological barrier was destroyed by half.
Old Sly Li was indeed hired by her underling; however, she did not expect that Su Chen could find out about their involvement despite hiding their ident.i.ty.
Yet, she continued to deny, "I do not know what you are talking about?"
"Still denying it? Let me tell you the truth, Old Sly Li had been caught by me and had confessed, he said that it was your underling who handed him the items and requested him to sell it to Jade Truth Pavilion to cause me harm."
"It being done by my underling doesn't mean that it was my idea." Yan Wu Shuang used the chance to say,
"Without your instructions, who would dare to use those expensive items to scam someone?"
"What expensive items, only three imitation goods…"
As she held her tongue, Yan Wu Shaung's face turned pale.
"Go on, do continue, why aren't you talking anymore?" Su Chen laughed coldly: "I knew why, I only mentioned the Beast Luring and Beast Repelling Potions, I did not say anything about two imitation goods, how did Fourth Aunt know that there were three items in total?"
Yan Wu Shuang trembled without a word.
Everyone understood now, they sighed together.
Tang Hong Rui's body shook in anger as she heard it, "b.i.t.c.h! You deserve to die!"
And tried to pounce at Yan Wu Shuang to tear her face off.
However, she was held back by Su Chen.
"Chen'er? Why are you stopping me?" Tang Hong Rui doesn't understand.
"This matter, I feel that it is better for father to handle it."
Letting Su Cheng An handle it, didn't that equate to letting Yan Wu Shuang go? Tang Hong Rui wanted to shout but seeing Su Chen's calm expression, she did not wish to object to her son's wishes and agreed in the end, after that, she stared viciously at Su Cheng An.
Su Cheng An hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's talk about this matter later."
"I just want to know the result." Su Chen replied.
Hearing his son going against his intentions, Su Cheng An felt a burning anger from his heart, "Chen'er, there are a lot of guests today, haven't you created enough of a scene already?"
"There's no choice, I couldn't keep holding on to this kid after all." Su Chen shook the kid in his hand, the little fella was already feeling uncomfortable with how Su Chen held him, as though waking up from a dream, he began to cry loudly.
Su Cheng An sucked in a cold breath, after a moment of pondering, he said, "Yan Wu Shuang schemed to harm a person, her despicable acts should be punished. However, she is still the mother of Hao'er, that child is still young and cannot be separated from his mother, on top of that, you were also safe, in my opinion, let's just abolish her t.i.tle of concubine and demote her to a serving girl for now."
"Su Cheng An!" Tang Hong Rui was utterly enraged. "This woman tried to kill your son. Yet, you neither choose to kill her nor choose to chase her out of the estate, even continuing to keep her by your side, what are you thinking?"
"Enough!" Su Cheng An roared. "Isn't Chen'er fine now? Yan Wu Shuang had received her punishment, Su Chen, why haven't you released her?"
Looking at Su Cheng An, Su Chen felt completely disappointed.
The reason he wanted Su Cheng An to handle this problem was because he wanted to give Su Cheng An one last chance.
He wants to know, did his father still feel any bit of care for him in the end?
He wanted to see, what would be his father's reaction when he learnt that Yan Wu Shuang tried to kill him.
He thought of many possible outcomes, but he never had expected that Su Cheng An will protect Yan Wu Shuang this thoroughly.
He couldn't even bear to use any form of physical punishment on her.
Demoted to a serving girl…
Is he trying to swindle a fool?
Even without status, as long as he still adored her, still liked her, Yan Wu Shuang would still have high authority.
An attempt to harm his own family, yet only a punishment like this was issued?
Su Chen obviously could contend against his decision.
However, he did not want to do so.
This is because he had completely given up on Su Cheng An.
Therefore, he wants to keep this outcome.
So that every time he saw Yan Wu Shuang, he would be reminded to not hold any expectations about his father.
Therefore, he did not object.
He nodded his head and said, "I can release them but I have a request."
"Speak."
"From now on, Jade Truth Pavilion, Good Fortune House, Returning Sun Restaurant and Red Pinewood will be managed by me, their profits will no longer enter the accounts of the Su Family."
The four properties that Su Chen mentioned, were the ones that was given as dowry when her mother married into the family.
Now Su Chen wished to recover all of them.
Hearing Su Chen's request, Su Cheng An seemed to have understood something.
After some thinking, and looking at the people gathered, he finally agreed, "Okay!"
Only then, did Su Chen hand over the child, a serving girl was waiting nearby to receive him before she quickly left the scene.
"Why haven't you release your aunt?" Su Cheng An looked at Yan Wu Shuang who was under Su Chen's foot and frowned.
"Aunt?" Su Chen smirked, "You seemed to have forgotten that she had just been demoted to a serving girl, the one that I am currently stepping on, Isn't a concubine."
Su Cheng An was stunned.
Su Chen lifted his foot and lifted Yan Wu Shuang up.
He said, "Congratulations, Fourth Serving Girl, you are now free. Before I release you, I have a tiny gift for you."
"Wh… What…" Yan Wu Shuang doesn't understand.
Su Chen revealed an evil grin.
Seeing this face, Su Cheng An seemed to have noticed something and quickly said, "No!"
However, Su Chen had already grabbed onto Yan Wu Shuang's neck and slammed her viciously onto a large wooden circular table with purple skirting and carving patterns of hundred beasts and dragons.
