Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress Chapter 729 - Forced

Chapter 729: Forced

After the people returned to the Chu Family, they looked at the wooden box that Chu Yi had brought out. The cover of the box was engraved with the terrifying words ‘Dien’.

Everyone fell silent.

At this moment, those people originally discussing Su Huiqing didn’t dare to continue. However, when they looked at Su Huiqing’s room, their eyes were filled with fear.

After a while, the Dien Family’s invitation arrived. It was personally sent by their elder.

Two invitations—one for the Chu Family and one for Miss Su.

“Our Young Master is still in seclusion and can’t personally visit Miss Su.” Just as he was about to leave, Elder Dien finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Second Young Master Chu, where is Miss Su?”

He had already drunk two cups of tea.

“She’s resting. She went out with us last night and didn’t sleep. If you want to see her, I’ll…” Chu Yi looked at the invitation on the table and said softly.

“No need, no need.” Upon hearing that Su Huiqing was resting, Elder Dien immediately stood up and waved his hand. “Since Miss Su is resting, let her rest well. Don’t disturb her.”

With that, he waved and left.

Chu Yi was not surprised at all.

When he was at the Dien Family just now, he felt that this elder seemed to be afraid of Su Huiqing.

As soon as Chu Yi turned around, he saw his skinny aunt entering the house. She ran straight towards Su Huiqing’s courtyard as if she didn’t see him.

He took a look and grabbed her arm. “What are you doing?”

“Miss Su can save a guard. She can definitely save my son. I’ll let her save my son!” She grabbed at her nephew, her eyes filled with hope as if she had grabbed onto the last straw.

Seeing her like this, he suddenly recalled the time when he first came to the Chu Family. Su Huiqing had taken his cousin’s pulse. “Auntie, when Miss Su wanted to take a look at my cousin, did you stop her?”

Upon hearing this, his aunt suddenly recalled this and froze.

In less than two days, she naturally remembered clearly that not only did she slap Su Huiqing’s hand away, but she also glared at the woman fiercely, afraid that she would delay Fu Meng’s time to save her son.

At the thought of this, she couldn’t help but look down at her hands.

He knew that she had not guessed wrongly. “Wait for Miss Su to get up. I will help you explain, but don’t get your hopes up.”

“You are his brother! Who doesn’t want to save his brother?!” The woman pinched his arm viciously, her eyes bloodshot. “You were the one who brought her into the Chu Family. As long as you say a word, how could she not save your brother?! Did you want your brother to die so that you can inherit the Chu Family?”

“Auntie!” When they heard her words, everyone was stunned. He looked at his aunt in disbelief. In the end, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. “Miss Su is my master’s friend. She saved Little Four and the entire Chu Family.”

However, Auntie Su didn’t listen to him. She just glanced at him and left.

That glance made the guard feel uneasy. He immediately looked after Auntie Su in case she really did something foolish.

The Chu Family was divided into two levels. The entire Chu Family had a distinguished ident.i.ty, but Chu Yi was focused on potions. The real power was actually in his cousin’s hands.

The moment his aunt returned home, she found a few trusted subordinates.

Upon hearing his aunt’s narration, one of them couldn’t help but frown. “She would rather save a guard of Second Young Master than save our Eldest Young Master? This is too much! Second Young Master… he obviously has ill intentions.”

Upon hearing this, the second wife sneered. “They are still bullying us, the orphan and widow.”

“That person is called Su Huiqing. I have never heard of her before,” someone said thoughtfully.

Not to mention him, the others had never heard of Su Huiqing as well.

“Let’s find this woman we are discussing. Why don’t we just tie her up and treat our Young Master? You refuse a toast, only to drink a forfeit?” A burly man slammed the meeting table. “Do you think we are dead?!”

When the others heard this, their hearts swelled with strength and a little selfishness. If the Eldest Young Master was really gone, they would have to rely on the Second Young Master. This was not the outcome they wanted to see.

“Don’t.” One of the elders was deep in thought. Upon hearing their decision, he immediately waved his hand. “Don’t mess with her. I think this matter is not simple. Su is indeed not a big family name, but have you forgotten the major incident that happened in the International a.s.sociation a year ago? I’m afraid that this Miss Su is the same woman…”

“The International a.s.sociation?” The others glanced at this elder, not listening.

Instead, he brought his men and gathered around Su Huiqing’s courtyard. This was almost all the guards they had.
