Chapter 107: Deserted

"Have you heard that this time it was the second wife of the Jiang family who took the initiative to leave, and took some of the Jiang family members with her to establish the new Nanjiang Mansion, to build a brand new martial arts family!"

"That's probably difficult. It is said that the second wife of the Jiang family left the house with nothing, without taking any of the Jiang family's property."

"It is too difficult for a family led by a woman to gain a foothold in Qinghe City, where there are many families!"

"I heard that the second wife of the Jiang family was often suppressed and excluded in the Jiang family. This time they finally separated. No matter what you say, I support her anyway."

On a street in the south of the city, a golden plaque with the three characters "Nanjiang Mansion" was hung above the two gates. The servants were coming in and out, carrying things into the house.

Xu Yin stood by the gate, looking up at the plaque on the gate, and couldn't help showing a trace of worry in her eyes.

The cost of renting this house and hiring servants and guards alone has made her sell most of her private property. However, this is just the beginning. Where will the expenses come from in the future?

"Aunt."

Su Chen stood beside her at some point.

"Xiao Chen, you are here."

Xu Yin came back to her senses and smiled gently. "Last night was full of twists and turns. I haven't thanked you properly yet."

What happened last night was definitely a blessing in disguise for Xu Yin. She thought she would be imprisoned by Jiang Shan and Jiang He, but she didn't expect that she would be separated from her family and have a new life.

For Xu Yin, as long as she didn't have to deal with Jiang Shan and Jiang He in the future, it didn't matter if she suffered every day.

"It was mainly because of Mr. Mo's help."

Su Chen smiled lightly. If he hadn't asked Qingping to invite Master Mo last night, things wouldn't have ended so easily.

"By the way, aunt, this is for you."

Su Chen took out a brocade bag and handed it to Xu Yin.

Xu Yin took it and opened it with doubts. As a result, she found that there was a thick stack of silver bills in the brocade bag.

"Xiao Chen, where did you get so many silver notes?" Xu Yin's eyes widened. There were so many silver notes, roughly estimated to be at least more than 20,000 taels. Where did Su Chen, a 15-year-old boy, get so much money?

"Among them, 10,000 taels are your own, and the rest is earned by me." Su Chen said, "You are now building Nanjiang Mansion and you need money everywhere. With this money, everything will be easy."

"Well, Xiao Chen, auntie doesn't want to use your money..." Xu Yin was about to refuse, but was interrupted by Su Chen's next words.

"Auntie, didn't you say it yourself, we are a family? Why are you still refusing to use family money?"

Xu Yin knew very well that she really needed this money now, and Su Chen's silver note undoubtedly solved her urgent need.

However, as an elder, she had to rely on the younger generation for help at this time, which also made her feel a little mixed.

She had to accept the silver note and repeatedly told Su Chen that if he was short of money, he must tell her.

But in fact, Su Chen is not short of money. Take the more than 10,000 taels for example. It is not difficult for him to earn it.

Su Chen looked around and asked, "Today is the day when Nanjiang Mansion was established. Why are there no guests coming to congratulate?"

Xu Yin smiled and said, "This is also normal. Maybe everyone is not clear about the inside story of the Jiang family's split, so they dare not come to congratulate, fearing to offend Beijiang Mansion by accident."

The Jiang family split, Xu Yin newly established Nanjiang Mansion, and the previous Jiang family was naturally called Beijiang Mansion.

Su Chen noticed that when Xu Yin said this, although her expression was smiling, she still couldn't hide the loss in her eyes. Obviously, this scene of being deserted made her feel a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Master Mo came from a distance with several alchemists in high spirits, and smiled from a distance: "Mrs. Jiang Er, oh no, I should call you the head of the Jiang family now. Today is the day when the Nanjiang Mansion was established. I came to congratulate you. It's a cause for celebration."

Master Mo took out a small bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Yin: "These are some soul-gathering pills that I made casually. I hope the head of the Jiang family will not despise them."

Xu Yin thanked him repeatedly: "I haven't thanked you for the Dragon and Tiger Blood-making Pills that you gave me last time. How can I be embarrassed to receive another gift this time."

At this time, a servant He walked out of the house: "Master, the banquet is ready!"

Xu Yin said to Master Mo: "Master, please come with me into the house, move to the banquet hall, and enjoy the housewarming banquet."

Master Mo smiled and said: "Okay, but I can go in by myself. Master Jiang should stay at the gate to entertain other guests."

Xu Yin's face darkened and said: "Master Mo, you are joking. There should be no other guests coming today."

Master Mo frowned slightly: "Really? It's impossible? After all, it's the establishment of a new family. How could there not be a guest who came to congratulate?"

Xu Yin forced a smile and said, "Perhaps the families and forces in the city all think that Nanjiang Mansion and Beijiang Mansion have split up because of a conflict, so they dare not come to Nanjiang Mansion to congratulate, fearing to offend Beijiang Mansion."

"Even so, it is impossible that there is not even one guest coming to visit." Master Mo still felt strange. Although Beijiang Mansion is powerful, it has not yet covered the sky with one hand. Moreover, there are so many families and forces in Qinghe City. It is impossible that all families and forces are dependent on Beijiang Mansion, right?

Xu Yin just smiled bitterly: "It is normal that no one comes to visit. Master, please follow me in."

But despite what Xu Yin said, Master Mo still insisted on waiting outside the gate of Nanjiang Mansion. He didn't believe that there would be no guests coming to congratulate.

Seeing Master Mo's insistence, Xu Yin had to stand at the gate of Nanjiang Mansion with Master Mo and wait.

As for Su Chen, he had already found a cool place by himself and began to meditate.

However, Su Chen's meditation was interrupted by a loud shout after just a moment:

"Lu family envoy, congratulate the establishment of Nanjiang Mansion!"

With this shout, an old man with a smile on his face strode over from a distance with two followers. The old man held a large red tray in his hand, on which were placed various festive and auspicious gifts.

Seeing this, Xu Yin finally showed a sincere smile on her face.

Although the Lu family is only a third-rate family in Qinghe City and is not particularly prominent, at least the arrival of the Lu family envoy means that Nanjiang Mansion is not completely isolated in Qinghe City, and at least has a little bit of connections.

With a smile on her face, Xu Yin walked forward and said, "Thank you, Lu family envoy, for coming here."
