Wang Manwen gave a light cough, then cast her gaze at Su Zhengyi. Finding that he showed no particular expression, she began, "It's true that Xiaocui lacks proper etiquette. How dare she overstep her bounds and manage the servants on her own initiative."
"But her intentions were good. She just wanted the servants of our Su family to be more well - behaved," Wang Manwen continued. As she spoke, she turned her face to glance at Su Mingyu, then said coldly, "Xiaocui only gave that maid a few slaps as a lesson. But I heard that you, Su Mingyu, not only ruined Xiaocui's hand but also made her kneel and apologize on the spot. Isn't this a bit too much?"
Su Mingyu looked at her with a half - smile, "I don't understand what you mean, Second Aunt. When Xiaocui slapped the face of the maid in my courtyard, it was as if she slapped my face. And slapping my face is equivalent to slapping the face of our Su family."
Su Mingyu shrugged nonchalantly, "I don't think I'm being too cruel to a servant who challenged the dignity of our Su family. Second Aunt, do you want me to just ignore it and let her trample on our family's dignity?"
Wang Manwen didn't expect that Su Mingyu would dare to speak so boldly, "You girl! Second Aunt just wants to tell you that as a young lady, your methods are a bit too cruel!"
Su Mingyu turned to look at Su Zhengyi and asked in an inquiring tone, "Father, do you also think that Mingyu has gone too far?"
Unexpectedly, Su Mingyu dared to involve Su Zhengyi. The faces of Wang Manwen and Su Yueyue both darkened.
Just as the atmosphere in the main hall was about to freeze, Su Zhengyi finally spoke, "She's just a servant. Why are you three ladies chattering on and on about this during the meal?"
What he meant was that there was no need to make a fuss about a maid.
Neither Su Yueyue nor Wang Manwen expected that Su Zhengyi would side with Su Mingyu this time. In the past, Su Zhengyi would have surely scolded Su Mingyu severely and might even have made her face the wall to reflect on her mistakes.
Why was he not only not scolding her this time but also protecting her?
Su Yueyue and Wang Manwen didn't understand, but Su Mingyu saw it clearly.
The reason why Su Zhengyi suddenly showed so much tolerance towards her was that during his time in prison, he had discovered her potential value. That was why his attitude towards her had changed.
As Su Zhengyi ate, he cast a satisfied look at Su Mingyu.
She knew who to protect and who to be tough on, and when she was tough, it was no small matter.
If such a capable person were a boy, Su Zhengyi would surely have focused on cultivating him, believing that he would become a remarkable talent in the future.
It was a pity that Su Mingyu was only a woman. However, compared to Su Yueyue's half - hearted bickering, Su Mingyu's determination and ruthlessness were quite remarkable.
Su Zhengyi couldn't help but think more highly of his eldest daughter. He realized that he had been narrow - minded in the past, underestimating this daughter just because of what Su Yueyue and Wang Manwen had said.
Now it seemed that there were still many shining points in Su Mingyu waiting to be discovered.
Maybe in the future, even if she married the King of Ruixian, she could help him rise higher in the court.
The breakfast ended in a muddle. Su Yueyue and Wang Manwen failed to suppress Su Mingyu by bringing up Xiaocui's matter, so their faces were not looking good.
Su Mingyu, on the other hand, seemed very calm. After Su Zhengyi left, she also left resolutely.
On her way from the main hall to the door, although there were many servants standing on both sides.
Everyone looked at her with a mixture of respect and fear. They only dared to lower their heads and address her as "Eldest Miss" and didn't dare to say a single extra word.
Su Mingyu looked at this silent group of people with satisfaction, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes.
They were all bullies who feared the strong and bullied the weak. Since they were all servants, why did they have to make things difficult for each other?
After leaving the Su Mansion, Su Mingyu thought for a while and then headed alone to the lair of the "Wuwang" organization outside the city.
As expected, she was stopped as soon as she reached the foot of the mountain. Without much thought, Su Mingyu took out her gun and quickly took care of these people.
Although they were all trained killers, compared to Su Mingyu, they were just a piece of cake.
With the pistol in her hand, Su Mingyu fought her way all the way to where Qin Chu was located without any hesitation.
Qin Chu looked at Su Mingyu in horror, his face full of disbelief, "You... you... all by yourself?"
Su Mingyu nodded, then stared at him fiercely, "I think you need to give me an explanation. Why are you here? Shouldn't you be overseeing the work at my shop?"
Qin Chu stepped back while trying to explain, "Th... that... I..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly raised his hand and scattered white powder.
Su Mingyu quickly stepped back several steps and barely managed to avoid inhaling the white powder. She looked at Qin Chu coldly, her eyes as calm as a heartless machine, "It seems that you don't want to give me this explanation."
After saying that, she raised her hand and took out five people in front of her. Then, like a ghost, she darted in front of Qin Chu.
Qin Chu didn't expect this woman to be so powerful. He turned around and tried to run, but Su Mingyu grabbed him by the collar.
Su Mingyu didn't show any mercy. She kicked him hard in the calf, and Qin Chu almost knelt on the ground without any resistance.
Su Mingyu grabbed his hair and forced him to look into her eyes, "I remember I said that you could continue to be the boss, and I would just be a behind - the - scenes person."
As she spoke, Su Mingyu dragged Qin Chu to the pool of blood and said coldly, "Actually, I don't really care whether you are loyal to me or not. All I care about is whether you can complete the tasks I assign."
Su Mingyu lowered her eyes and looked at Qin Chu, "I'm sure you've embezzled my 200,000 taels of silver, right?"
Qin Chu had already been frightened pale by the tyrannical Su Mingyu. His voice trembled as he said, "I... I... I took your silver. If you want the silver, let me go!"
Looking at his self - destructive attitude, Su Mingyu sneered, "You know there are ten major tortures in the underworld, right? If you fall into my hands, you won't even have the chance to experience them."
After saying that, Su Mingyu dragged Qin Chu around the corner and into a room. Before entering, Su Mingyu gave an order to a trembling and paralyzed person, "Gather all the members of the organization. I'll see them later."
