"Brother, now that the Su Mansion has burned down like this, it is definitely uninhabitable. Where should we go to rest?"

"I remember that my sister-in-law has a fairly large house on Huading Street. The location of that house is also very good. It is where many old nobles and princes gather. It would be great if we could move there!" Su Yuyi said somewhat flatteringly.

"That yard is too small. It's definitely too small for our Su family to live in. The Li family has quite a few houses. I wonder if there are any larger ones that can meet the needs of our Su family?"

"Brother, the Li family's house belongs to the Li family. How can I, a son-in-law, go to the Li family to ask for the house?"

"The house on Huading Street was your sister-in-law's dowry. To be more precise, it belongs to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. I can't make the decision!"

"Brother! This...what should we do? We can't just sleep on the streets!" Su Yuyi asked somewhat dissatisfiedly.

The two brothers argued back and forth, but could not reach an agreement.

Su Yulou watched coldly as the two brothers argued, but he did not participate, nor could he interrupt, let alone offer any opinions. He was used to the fact that his words were not taken seriously and he was not taken seriously.

In the past, he had no money, no power, no influence, and was younger than his two brothers. He was always suppressed by them and he usually had to follow their orders.

I recently heard from his wife that his daughter Su Ci not only has people and a lot of money, but also owns many shops.

Thinking of this, his waist straightened instantly and he was no longer so worried about accommodation and food.

The three brothers discussed for a long time but could not come up with a good solution.

Finally, Su Yukun made the final decision, "It will be difficult to find a large house in a short time, so why don't the three of us live separately for the time being, each of us should deal with the problem first and find a way to solve it ourselves!"

Although Su Yuyi strongly opposed it, he was ultimately powerless. With the full support of Old Madam Su, his opposition seemed ridiculous.

In fact, the old lady was also helpless. Although she was the elder, she had been more dependent on the eldest son for many years. She had also tried her best to protect and support the eldest son's decisions. She would not easily offend him and let him always maintain the dignity of the head of the family.

When Su Yulou told Su Ci the result of the discussion, Su Ci couldn't help but chuckle. This decision was exactly what she wanted.

In fact, she asked Banyue to set fire to the Su Mansion tonight. On the one hand, she was angry at being ambushed by them, and on the other hand, she also wanted to destroy the Su residence so that she would have the opportunity to live separately from the first and second wives. Unexpectedly, her wish came true by accident. It was really cause for celebration.

If the four branches of the Su family could finally split up and go their separate ways, with everyone living their own lives and having nothing to do with each other, Su Ci would be even more satisfied.

Since it was agreed that everyone would live separately, Su Ci left with everyone without hesitation, without any delay, and left in a graceful and elegant manner.

Soon, the group arrived at Huading Street and stopped in front of an extremely luxurious house.

Ban Yue opened the door, and the housekeeper and two maids came out to greet her. "Miss! You come so late, do you have any instructions?"

"Just arrange accommodation for everyone and settle them down!"

Seeing how familiar the housekeeper and the nanny were with Su Ci, the other people in the Su family knew that the owner of this house must be Su Ci.

Before she knew it, Su Ci had acquired a huge amount of wealth and such a big house, it was simply incredible!

It is said that this house used to be the residence of a great general and has always been taken care of.

Not only is the house large, but the layout is also very sophisticated. This is mainly because the general's wife is a very sophisticated and picky person. She has very high requirements for food, housing, clothing, and everything else.

The house has pavilions, terraces, rugged rockery, carved beams and painted buildings, flowing water under small bridges and surrounded by greenery.

It is said that there is also a large lotus pond, which is extremely beautiful when the lotus flowers are in full bloom. Whenever the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the General's Mansion will hold a banquet and invite the wives and daughters of various nobles to come to the mansion to taste tea and appreciate the lotus flowers.

At the innermost part of the backyard, there is a large bamboo forest, which is quiet and peaceful.

Xiao Tao had previously only arranged two maids and a housekeeper in the house, and they had been cleaning it so that people could move in at any time.

It was the dead of night and everyone arrived in a hurry. They each had a room, tidied up quickly, settled down, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next day, when Su Ci got up, it was already very late as usual.

In the past, the three branches of the Su family lived in the small Luoyeju. Now the house is spacious, and each master can choose a courtyard and live alone.

Su Ci left the best courtyard to Hua Fuyin. She chose the one on the right side close to Hua Fuyin, named it "Fengqi Pavilion", and ordered the nanny to make a plaque outside.

The other courtyards will be assigned after Hua Fuyin arrives.

After washing up, Su Ci called Banyue in and listened to her report on the news outside.

Last night, the Yongping Marquis's house was burned down and could no longer be lived in. In the second half of the night, they wanted to move to the house that the eldest lady of Huading Street had brought as a dowry. Cui Shujing and Su Yukun took the lead and occupied the house. For that house, the wife of Yongping Marquis had a dispute with Cui Shujing, and the two parted unhappily.

The Yongping Marquis Mansion had to move to the house on Yongfu Road.

Su Yuyi and everyone from the second branch moved into the house on Yongfu Road overnight. It was very close to the Yongping Marquis Mansion and they became neighbors.

There was a great shock in the court today. Last night, three officials' residences caught fire in succession, and the Su Mansion was besieged by nearly three hundred men in black, causing an uproar in the court!

The emperor was furious after hearing this and ordered the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice and the Jingzhao Prefecture to jointly investigate the case and find out the truth within ten days.

The chief and deputy commanders of the city patrol guards were all dismissed from their posts and each was sentenced to 50 strokes of the cane. The case will be dealt with after the truth of the matter is ascertained.

The person in charge of the city patrol last night said that he had led people to chase the "flower thief" last night, but was lured away from home, and was responsible for dereliction of duty. He took the initiative to ask for punishment, and with the help of the King of Qi, he was only fined fifty military sticks.

Hearing this, Su Ci's face showed a meaningful expression.

Just as she guessed, the city patrol guards were transferred away.

There was such a big commotion last night that all the patrol guards were transferred away. Doesn't this make sense? There must be other reasons. It can't be that simple!

"Have you found out the identities of those men in black?"

"Lord Wang interrogated them for a long time last night. These men in black are very stubborn. So far, no useful information has been obtained!"

"Also, where did those men in black come from? If they were outside the city, how did they get in? If they have been in the city all along, where are they hiding? These all need to be investigated one by one."

"Yes, Miss! Last night, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin ordered the Dragon and Tiger Guards to investigate the details of these men in black."
