Chapter 117: Poison in the Tea

As for Jiang He, who was standing aside, he could no longer control his joy. If the envoy of the main family was not still present, he would have jumped up in gloating.

Only Jiang Shan stood aside calmly, with no expression on his face, as if Xu Yin's misfortune had nothing to do with him.

Su Chen watched Jiang Shan's performance coldly, and had a premonition that the arrival of the envoy of the main family today might not be as simple as asking for punishment or sentencing.

After the envoy finished recording in the record book, he said, "Okay, let's get to the point. Today, this envoy came here not mainly for your separation, but for another important matter."

Hearing this, the people present perked up one by one, knowing that the highlight of today was coming.

"This envoy heard that the seal of the head of your Qinghe City Jiang family has been lost?"

The envoy asked.

"Reporting to the envoy, it is true."

Jiang Shan lowered his head slightly and answered respectfully, "Since the death of the previous old patriarch ten years ago, no one knows the whereabouts of the patriarch's seal. We have searched all possible places but couldn't find it. Therefore, the position of the patriarch of the Jiang family in Qinghe City has been vacant. Until now, the family has been divided, and Beijiang Mansion still has no patriarch."

"Well, this envoy came here for this matter. The loss of the patriarch's seal is a big deal, and we can't just muddle through it like this."

"What's more, , the seal of the head of each branch is specially made by the main family. If it is lost and obtained by people with ulterior motives, it will also damage the reputation of our main family. "

The envoy said, "So, the reason why this envoy came here is to urge you to find the clues of the head of the family seal as soon as possible."

"Report to the envoy!"

Jiang He immediately said, "I have something to say about the clues of the head of the family seal!"

"Oh? Do you have any clues about the head of the family seal?"

The envoy asked.

"It's not me."

Jiang He shook his head and pointed at Su Chen, "It's him, Su Chen!"

"What I want to say is that he clearly has the clue to the seal of the head of the family, but he just doesn't tell us the clues!"

"Moreover, this boy is not a son of our Jiang family at all, but an outsider. I can even reasonably suspect that this boy has ill intentions towards the position of the head of our Beijiang Mansion, otherwise why would he occupy the clues of the seal of the head of the family and not tell us?" Jiang He accused angrily.

"Is that true?"

The messenger's eyes fell on Su Chen, "You, your name is Su Chen? Why are you in the Jiang family?"

Xu Yin hurriedly said: "Reporting to the messenger, Xiao Chen is my nephew, not an outsider. Moreover, what Jiang He said is untrue. Xiao Chen doesn't know where the family seal is at all."

Jiang He sneered: "Second sister-in-law, you really know how to lie with your eyes open. You also saw it last time. As a junior who has never been to the Jiang family before, he can actually draw the details of the appearance of the family seal that disappeared ten years ago. Isn't this the ironclad evidence that he has seen the family seal?"

"Whether you have met him or not doesn't mean anything."

Xu Yin tried to defend Su Chen, "Our Nanjiang Mansion has now been separated and exists independently of Beijiang Mansion. The position of the head of Beijiang Mansion has nothing to do with us. What's the use of Xiaochen's seal?"

"That's why I said that you, Nanjiang Mansion, have ill intentions towards the position of the head of our Beijiang Mansion. Tell me, are you looking for an opportunity to kick me and my elder brother out with the seal of the head of the family, so that you can legitimately occupy Beijiang Mansion and unify the North and South Jiang families!"

Jiang He said with his eyes wide open.

"What nonsense!"

Xu Yin was also angry. If she or Su Chen really had such thoughts, why did they have to go through the trouble of separating the family in the first place? Wouldn't it be better to directly occupy the position of the head of the family before the separation?

"If you want to prove your innocence, please tell us where the seal of the head of the family is."

Jiang He snorted coldly.

"I said I don't know where the seal of the head of the family is. If I knew, I would have said it long ago. Why wait until today!"

Xu Yin frowned.

"You don't know, doesn't the kid behind you know it either?"

Jiang He glanced at Su Chen and sneered, "Today, the envoy of the master family is here. I advise you not to play any tricks and tell me the clues of the seal of the head of the family honestly. Otherwise, if the envoy is angry, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Xu Yin was about to say something, but she heard the envoy also speak slowly: "Since there is such a thing, then this envoy also expresses his position here. Anyone who deliberately conceals the clues of the seal of the head of the family is the enemy of the head of the Jiang family."

"If anyone has any clues about the seal of the head of the family, it is best to say it immediately, so as not to hurt others and yourself."

The envoy's voice was not loud, but there was a chill and oppression in his words. If you are not strong-willed, I am afraid that you will succumb to this pressure.

Xu Yin glanced at Su Chen and saw him shaking his head. She looked directly into the messenger's eyes without any fear and said, "We don't know where the family master's seal is."

"Are you sure you don't know?" the messenger asked calmly.

Xu Yin shook her head firmly and said, "I don't know."

At the same time, Xu Yin also felt a little strange in her heart. Why did the messenger of the master family care so much about finding the seal of the master? Although he said that the reason was that the seal of the master was specially made for the master family, it was afraid that if it fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it would damage the reputation of the master family.

However, just this reason seemed not enough for the messenger to be so enthusiastic.

The messenger stared at Xu Yin without saying anything. For a moment, the atmosphere seemed extremely serious. The messenger's expression gave everyone in the hall a chill of impending storms. The atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to solidify at this moment.

However, after a while, the messenger did not explode on the spot as everyone imagined, but just said calmly: "Drink tea."

As he said that, the messenger took the lead in picking up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Everyone present was secretly relieved. This messenger was really moody. Looking at his expression just now, I thought the storm was about to come.

It turned out to be a false alarm. Everyone relaxed and drank the tea at hand.

Jiang Shan also took a sip of his tea. He saw Xu Yin didn't move, so he said casually: "Second sister-in-law, why didn't you drink it?"

Xu Yin was stunned, but didn't think much. Seeing that everyone else had drunk it, she also brought the teacup to her mouth.

Snap --

At this moment, a stream of true energy surged and shattered the teacup in Xu Yin's hand. The tea splashed all over the floor, and Xu Yin's skirt was also wet.

Suddenly, an elder of Beijiang Mansion stood up and shouted angrily: "Su Chen, what are you doing? How can you be so rude in front of the envoy of the master family?"

-- The person who broke the teacup was Su Chen.

"Xiao Chen!" Xu Yin was also stunned, and didn't understand why Su Chen suddenly did this.

"The tea is poisonous!" Su Chen said directly.
