After Su Wanshi's explanation, they finally decided to shamelessly return to the Su residence to find Su Zhen.

At this time, Su Zhen had been home from court for quite some time, and he was very happy because Jiang Ruan's matter had been resolved.

After the court session, he invited the Crown Prince and Su Liluo to the Su residence for dinner.

When Su Wanshi and her companions arrived at the Su residence, they were naturally stopped by the gatekeepers.

"How dare you! Can't you see it's the old lady returning? Get out of the way!"

Su Yu stood at the door, still reprimanding the gatekeeper in the tone of a master.

The two servants naturally recognized Su Yu, but everyone in the mansion knew that Su Yu and his group had already been separated, so they naturally wouldn't let them in.

They never expected that Su Yu would shamelessly pretend that nothing had happened and still speak to them as if he were the master.

The two servants exchanged glances, then awkwardly said to Su Yu, "Second Master, you have already separated from the First Master. This is now the First Master's residence. If you want to come in, you must first get the First Master's permission."

"Don't rush, wait here. I'll send someone in to inform the master."

"Please let us in first. The old lady is getting on in years. Are you going to let her stand here forever?"

Su Yu sternly rebuked him.

He knew that even if they reported to Su Zhen, he wouldn't let them in, so he thought he would scare the two servants and force his way in first.

But the servant ignored him completely, still holding the stick in front of them, and then sent someone inside to inform Su Zhen.

When Su Zhen heard that Su Yu and the others had returned, a look of anger appeared on his face, and then he went to the door.

"What are you doing back here? Have you forgotten that you were the ones who wanted to separate from the family? The letter of severance has already been written. This Su family has nothing to do with you now. You'd better leave immediately!"

Su Zhen arrived at the door and saw Su Yu and the others standing there. He spoke without any mercy.

But Su Yu acted as if he hadn't heard, and suddenly looked at Su Zhen with a pitiful look, his tone both pitiful and innocent.

"Big brother, I'm your younger brother! You can't be so heartless to me! We have nowhere to live now. We were wrong before, please forgive us!"

Su Yu put down his bag and looked sincere.

"Yes, Uncle, my father and the others were confused in the past. They know they were wrong now. You can't bear to see us homeless, can you?"

"Uncle, if you don't let us come back, my dad and grandma will really have to sleep on the streets now. We're all family, everyone has their disagreements. We really know we were wrong now, please forgive us, Uncle!"

Su Wanshi and Su Lianwu, who were standing to the side, also apologized sincerely. Only the old lady Su was somewhat unconvinced, but she kept her mouth shut and did not say anything.

She's an elder; it's impossible for her to apologize to Su Zhen.

Su Zhen sneered: "Do you think I have to forgive you just because you said something wrong? Do you think the division of the family is a joke? Why didn't you apologize when you framed my wife?"

Do you think I, Su Zhen, am so easily fooled? Do you think I'd let a bunch of people who tried to harm my wife and daughter into the house? Since you yourselves proposed dividing the house and severing ties, don't even think about going back on your word!

Su Zhen remained resolute, showing absolutely no intention of forgiving them.

The reason why the family had not separated for so long was indeed because Old Madam Su was his nominal legal mother. If he were to propose to separate the family from them, then he would be in the wrong.

But since they themselves proposed the division of the family and signed the severance agreement willingly, he has no fault whatsoever.

He originally still had some brotherly affection for Su Yu, believing that Su Yu should not be blamed for his mother's mistakes, and that he and Su Yu were still blood brothers.

But later he realized he was terribly wrong; the rat's son could not possibly grow up in the sunlight.

"Brother! We didn't frame your wife! This has nothing to do with us!"

When Su Yu heard Su Zhen say this, he was shocked. They had only told the King of Chu about it. How did his elder brother know?

And now that the older brother has said this, if everyone finds out that they did it, won't he also be arrested and go to jail?

"Don't you yourselves know whether you've been framed or not?"

Su Zhen gave him a cold look, his gaze like a knife.

This matter was actually analyzed by Su Liluo for her. Originally, she wanted to go to the government to sue them, but Luo'er stopped her.

Su Liluo said, "If they are arrested by the government, they will at most be charged with spreading rumors, but they will not die. And not everyone will be arrested. As long as one of them takes the blame and admits that he is the only one who did it, the others will be fine."

Now that the King of Chu has fallen, they have no backing and will likely suffer even more outside.

Therefore, Su Zhen stubbornly refrained from filing a complaint.

But now they actually dare to shamelessly demand to come back, which really opened his eyes.

Su Yu was naturally feeling guilty, so he didn't dare to continue discussing this issue.

So he looked at Madam Su, who was standing to the side, and said, "Brother, Mother is old. Can you have some pity on her? If you don't forgive us, we'll have to live on the streets."

It's windy and cold tonight. How can Mother, at her age, possibly endure this? In any case, to outsiders, Mother is still your legal mother.

If you really don't care about her, aren't you afraid people will gossip about you and say you're unfilial?

“We’ve already severed ties. What does your mother have to do with me? Stop causing trouble here, or I’ll have someone chase you all away with sticks!”

Su Zhen was not good with words and had no patience to continue talking to them.

Seeing that Su Zhen was about to turn and leave, Su Wanshi panicked and quickly whispered in the ear of the old lady Su.

“Grandma, quickly sit down on the ground and throw a tantrum, cry loudly, and say that your eldest uncle is unfilial, doesn’t recognize his own family, and will kick you out of the house and leave you to wander the streets! That way, everyone will see him and scold him, and he will let us go back!”

"So, will he really let us in?"

When Madam Su heard Su Wanshi say that, she still felt a little embarrassed.

However, seeing that Su Zhen didn't care about them, she became a little anxious.

"How will you know if you don't try? Do you really want everyone to sleep on the streets tonight?"

Su Wanshi urged.

The thought of sleeping on the cold, windy street made Old Madam Su grit her teeth, sit down on the ground, and start to wail and cry.

"Everyone, come and see! I'm so old, and I've been kicked out of my home by the very son I raised! He's supposed to be a great general in the court, yet he's such an unfilial person!"

What are you doing?!

Su Zhen, who had already taken a few steps, turned around angrily and walked back after hearing Old Madam Su's slanderous words.

Meanwhile, a crowd of onlookers had already begun to gather at the entrance.
