Chapter 116 What Is the Crime?

Beijiang Mansion is in such a dilemma now. Although it is not a mess, it is enough to make people feel a little anxious.

Therefore, Jiang He felt particularly unhappy when he saw that Xu Yin was not only prosperous, but also advanced in cultivation. In his opinion, Xu Yin should have suffered losses after the separation, but it turned out to be them. He couldn't swallow this breath no matter how he thought about it.

Think about it carefully, Xu Yin has been doing good things since Su Chen came to Qinghe City. Does this kid Su Chen really have some strange magic?

Xu Yin said lightly: "As the head of the family now, of course I have to maintain a good state, so that I can give my subordinates enough confidence. Of course, people who have never been the head of the family may not understand this truth."

Jiang He's face suddenly turned black. You know, the biggest weakness of him and Jiang Shan is that they have never become the official head of the Jiang family. Even after Xu Yin separated from the family, there are still some elders in the family who oppose Jiang Shan to be the head of the family.

Xu Yin's words at this time were undoubtedly a blow to him and Jiang Shan's sore spot. When did this woman become so sharp-tongued and vicious?

"Don't be too proud, you won't be so arrogant for long!"

Jiang He finally couldn't help it and showed a vicious look.

Su Chen on the side said lightly: "Jiang He, didn't you say that you would welcome the envoy of the main family of the imperial capital today? You don't want the envoy to see the scene of the South Jiang Mansion and the North Jiang Mansion being on the verge of a war when he comes?"

Jiang He was blocked by Su Chen and couldn't speak. He had to shut up angrily and glanced at Su Chen and Xu Yin with disgust: "Come in with me!"

When they arrived at the banquet hall of the North Jiang Mansion, Jiang He coldly instructed: "Remember, the envoys of the main family of the imperial capital are of noble status. Don't bump into them later, otherwise you will bear all the consequences!"

"Take care of yourself."

Su Chen didn't even have the interest to bicker with Jiang He. This kind of person was not worth his extra care at all.

In the banquet hall, some high-ranking officials of Beijiang Mansion have gathered at this moment.

Jiang Shan was also among them, his face looked very calm, and no emotion could be seen. When he saw Su Chen and Xu Yin, he just nodded and greeted them in a very ordinary way, as if he had long forgotten the various grievances between the two sides.

But even so, Su Chen would not underestimate Jiang Shan. Compared with people like Jiang He, it is often the case that the dog that does not bark bites people more painfully.

Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the host's envoy in the banquet hall.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Several elders of Beijiang Mansion surrounded a man in brocade clothes and walked into the banquet hall.

The man in brocade clothes was not tall, and he had a pair of triangular eyes on his pointed face. Since he entered the hall, his eyes have been looking around, and his expression seems a little cold.

Behind the man in brocade clothes, there is another pale young man in black clothes. The young man in black clothes has no expression on his face, and he follows the man in brocade clothes like a living dead.

"That young man in black is more dangerous than the man in brocade."

Su Chen only took a glance and made such a judgment in his heart. Although the man in brocade looked like the protagonist today and the young man in black looked like a follower, his intuition as a strong man told him that the fact might not be so.

Jiang Shan stood up and greeted the man in brocade, saying: "Jiang Shan represents the branch of Qinghe City and respectfully welcomes the envoy of the main family. Please take a seat."

The man in brocade nodded and sat down at the top of the hall. He looked around and said directly without any nonsense: "I heard that your Jiang family in Qinghe City was divided into the North Jiang Mansion and the South Jiang Mansion?"

Jiang Shan lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Reporting to the envoy, it is true. It was just divided a while ago."

"Bold!"

The man in brocade slapped the table, and said in a dignified manner, "I have never heard of you. Without the permission of the master family, you actually decided to split the family on your own. Where did you put the dignity of the master family? What crime should you be punished for! "

Jiang He on the side hurriedly said: "Please understand, envoy, the family split was not initiated by our Beijiang Mansion, but they strongly requested to split and live separately. They quarreled in the family for this, and we had no choice but to agree to split the family! If the envoy wants to punish, please punish the Nanjiang Mansion!"

"Is that so?"

The brocade-clothed envoy turned to Xu Yin and Su Chen on the side and asked coldly.

Xu Yin was neither humble nor arrogant. She stepped forward and bowed to the envoy, saying, "Your Excellency, it is indeed our Nanjiang Mansion that proposed the separation, but the truth is a little different from what Jiang He said. It was not us who made a big fuss and demanded the separation, but Jiang Shan and Jiang He brothers excluded and oppressed me and threatened my life first. I think the two sides can no longer live under the same roof, so I proposed the separation! Please be clear about this, Your Excellency!"

"Shut up!"

The brocade-clothed envoy slammed the teacup in his hand on the table and scolded, "This envoy is just asking you if you took the initiative to propose the separation! There is no need to say other nonsense!"

Xu Yin frowned slightly, and then said in a humble manner: "Yes, it was our Nanjiang Mansion that took the initiative to propose the separation. But..."

"Okay."

The envoy interrupted Xu Yin rudely, "Since you have admitted that it was you who proposed the separation, no matter what the reason is, your Nanjiang Mansion is arrogant and decided to separate the family without the permission of the master family. It can be seen that you don't take the dignity of the master family seriously at all."

"This envoy will record and report this truthfully. You Nanjiang Mansion will wait for the master family to punish you!"

Don't take the master family seriously?

Wait for the master family to punish you?

Xu Yin finally couldn't help it. She ignored Jiang He's gloating expression and said, "Mr. Envoy, it seems a bit inappropriate to convict our Nanjiang Mansion based on this alone?"

"What do you think is wrong with this envoy's decision?"

The envoy glared coldly.

"As everyone knows, since our Jiang family settled in Qinghe City, we have never had any contact with the master family, nor have we received any support or favors from the master family. For hundreds of years, the master family has never given us anything. Now that the Jiang family of Qinghe City has decided to split up, the master family suddenly came to ask about it. Isn't this a strange thing in itself?" Xu Yin argued.

The envoy's face sank: "Do you mean that the master family is meddling in other people's business?"

"Of course I don't mean that, but splitting up is the right of our Jiang family of Qinghe City, and no one has the right to ask about it." Xu Yin said.

The envoy glanced at Xu Yin indifferently: "Are you Xu?"

"I am Xu."

"Xu's daughter, you are eloquent, you are committing a crime and offending the master's envoy's majesty. I will record it all and wait for the master family to punish you." As the envoy said, he took out a notebook from his sleeve and began to record it in the notebook.

Xu Yin raised her chin, stood stubbornly and proudly, and said nothing.
