Chapter 13: True Jade Pavilion

“Bang!”

Su Cheng’an smacked the table and leapt to his feet.

He was seething with anger.

“Did he really say it like that?”

Yan Wushuang was the very picture of a weeping beauty, “Lord, these words are absolutely true. Elder, you know that I, Yan Wushuang, lived a very bitter life. I entered the palace with Elder, but I was unable to enjoy this good fortune for even a few days. Instead, I am busy taking care of the Su Clan’s businesses day and night, without even a day to rest. I didn’t expect that even after working so diligently that I would receive this kind of abuse. For Young Master to treat me in such a way, what use is there for me to continue living here……”

“Alright, alright. Don’t be so quick to threaten to kill yourself.” Su Cheng’an waved his hand in comfort, but his expression was taut.

Yan Wushuang was not of high birth. Everyone knew about this matter, but since she had been taken in as the Fourth Concubine, it was best to let the things of the past stay in the past. No one was permitted to bring up this matter in the entire clan.

Unexpectedly, this old scar had actually been cruelly stabbed by Su Chen. How could Su Cheng’an not be angry in his heart?

He was very clear about Yan Wushuang’s intentions to take over Tang Hongrui and her son’s business, but he chose to conveniently forget about it.

People were always like this. If one was biased from the very beginning, one would overlook everything that did not align with this bias.

As a result, Su Cheng’an currently felt that Su Chen was a very unfilial son.

Following the birth of his two sons and the acceptance of his new favorite, his love for Su Chen had gradually become cold. In the wake of Su Chen disobeying him again and again, the relationship between father and son displayed an increasing number of cracks, progressing to the point where it would be very difficult to repair.

For this matter to happen today, Su Chen had possibly already reached a point where his crimes were too great in Su Cheng’an’s eyes.

At this time, Su Cheng’an was thinking deeply in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he spoke, “An unfilial child should be disciplined. But the majority of the businesses under Hongrui’s control were brought from her original family. Although in name they are part of the Su Clan, if Hongrui doesn’t give her approval, it’s difficult for me to make a move. I still need to consider this matter for some time.”

“What need is there to consider?” Yan Wushuang huffed. “So what if it was a dowry? Once she married into the Su Clan, the businesses should belong to the Su Clan. For Tang Hongrui to be so monopolizing, not allowing anybody else to interact with them; is this the path of a good housewife?”

“Then what do you think we should do? Although the Tang Clan is not as good as the Su Clan, they still have a decent amount of strength. I can’t just forcefully take it away from them like so, can I?”

Yan Wushuang thought for a moment before saying, “Isn’t Su Chen unwilling to let go of them? Then why not let him personally oversee the businesses? I just don’t believe that he, a blind person, can do a good job of managing them.”

Su Cheng’an thought deeply for a brief moment before his eyes began to shine, “This is also an idea. When he makes a mistake, we can use it as a pretext to make a fuss, take the opportunity to dismiss him from his position and recover the right to manage it. But what is the best for him to oversee?”

Yan Wushuang said savagely, “Since he is blind, then let him manage the business that requires sight the most.”

“True Jade Pavilion!”

——————————————————

The True Jade Pavilion was located in the Thousand Curves Alley; an antique store located in a tunnel.

The Primordial Continent was a place that could be considered to have matured in its advancement. Many glorious societies and cultures had once risen and fallen in this place. At the same time, they had left behind an astonishingly abundant supply of ancient, hidden treasures.

As for when the Primordial Continent’s culture had been the most glorious, the expansion and development of some of the countries had been even more rapid and formidable than modern human society. Although they had all eventually faded into the dust of history for a variety of reasons, they still possessed a few remarkable technologies. Their heritage and treasures also went the way of their societies, buried beneath the surface of the Primordial Continent

Precisely because of this, in this world, archaeology not only had important historical significance, but also tremendous practical importance.
