My Silly, Sweet Wife Chapter 923 923: Still Haven't Found Them

Shen Lian's outrageous affair.

Feng Wuji's sudden death.

The cancellation of Su Family's marriage.

In just half a day, the events at Su Family seed to have grown wings, spreading throughout the Southwest Region.

Everyone who heard the news was left dumbfounded.

Even the Feng Family and the Shen Family received the news.

The Feng Family imdiately declared that Feng Wuji was their future Family Head. If the real murderer was found, even if the culprit was a supre authority, the Feng Family would risk everything, even ruin, to fight against them.

The Shen Family also issued a statent, saying that if Shen Lian truly committed such an unforgivable act, they would show no rcy.

At the sa ti, a rumor quietly began to spread.

The rumor suggested that Shen Lian didn't commit any outrageous deeds; instead, he died in a jealousy-fueled altercation with soone nad Ye Guichen, who killed him and hid the body.

The Shen Family naturally heard this version too and imdiately said they would send people to Su Family to personally investigate the matter. When the truth cos out, they will naturally give everyone an explanation.

anwhile, Kui Long approached Su Mu.

He showed no sign of respect, instead starting with questioning: "Sunan King, I believe Young Master Shen knows what the stakes are. In this situation, he couldn't have done such a thing. I need an answer from you—did you set up Shen to fra him?"

Su Mu lifted his head: "Master Kui Long, I understand your feelings. Actually, this matter, for our Su Family, we are the real victims. In the future, everyone in the Southwest Region will be pointing fingers at us. If we did this deliberately, what benefit would it bring our Su Family?"

Kui Long was stunned to find Su Mu's words seamless, but still expressed disbelief: "Sunan King, then where have you driven Young Master Shen off to? And who is that woman? I want to confront them face to face!"

Su Mu sighed and shook his head, saying: "Master Kui Long, the one who caught Shen in the act was my grandson, Su Wu. He's hot-tempered and felt Shen was tarnishing Su Family's reputation, so he didn't report to and directly beat him and drove him away. As for where he's gone, I don't know. But that woman you ntioned—I seem to recall Su Wu saying she is Wei Yuting, supposedly a celebrity. But the scene was chaotic, and after Shen was chased away, Wei Yuting disappeared too. Alas, Master Kui Long, I'm also looking for that woman now. I don't wish these events to have occurred either; I wanted a peaceful union with the Shen Family. Once our families are united, even the foremost family in the Capital City wouldn't intimidate us, yet...sigh."

Feeling extrely fatigued, Su Mu waved his hand: "Master Kui Long, too many things happened today. I need to think of ways to calm the rumors. I won't keep you, nor the Shen Family, any longer. My apologies, Shen is no longer with us at Su Family, so your people should leave soon too."

Kui Long clenched his fist: "Sunan King, are you trying to chase us out?"

Su Mu shook his head: "Chasing isn't quite right, but I am the Southwest King. Your Young Master Shen insulted my granddaughter; if I let you stay at Su Family, there'd be no place for my face. Leave now, don't make act. You know you aren't my match!"

His words were calm, carrying authority without anger.

At that mont, Su Mu was like a great tiger ready to be awakened, making Kui Long tremble in heart: "Fine, once Young Master Shen is found, let's see how you'll explain yourselves!"

He stamped his foot forcefully and turned to leave.

Though Kui Long knew himself to be strong, he lacked the courage to confront Su Mu.

After all, this was Su Family, filled with masters, and Su Mu was reputed to have reached the Peak of Grandmaster, with uncanny abilities.

Nonetheless, he had long heard of Su Mu's frailty, attempted a deliberate provocation, yet found Su Mu unwavering even an inch, which raised doubt in Kui Long's mind.

Once Kui Long left, Su Mu collapsed onto the Taishi Chair.

The earlier aura of towering dominance was nowhere to be found.

Only an elderly man close to death remained.

"Father, are you alright?" Su Cheng hurriedly supported Su Mu, asking with concern.

Su Mu waved his hand: "I'm fine, I forcefully mobilized my energy to intimidate Kui Long, but didn't expect it would tax my body excessively. Cough, cough. Seems I'm truly old and useless now."

"Father..." Su Cheng wanted to say more, but Su Mu directly interrupted: "Is Jiu'er and Mr. Ye waiting outside? Let them in."

Su Jiu'er, full of doubts, had long wanted to see Su Mu.

However, Su Mu had not seen her.

From start to finish, few knew the inside story, only Ye Guichen and so others.

Su Jiu'er asked Ye Guichen, but Ye Guichen said little.

Frustrated, Su Jiu'er rushed inside and directly knelt before Su Mu: "Grandfather, what exactly happened? Shen Lian did such things, he should have been killed outright. Why did Brother Wu let him go? And who was that shaless woman daring to commit such sordid acts in our Su Family? I'll see she's torn apart."

Though she secretly rejoiced over not having to marry Shen Lian, his actions at Su Family still caused Su Jiu'er to lose face.

Su Mu raised his head, looking dotingly at Su Jiu'er: "Jiu'er, Shen Lian is dead."

"What?" Su Jiu'er froze: "Grandfather, what do you an?"

"Cough, cough, it was all Mr. Ye's idea." Su Mu gestured for Su Cheng to explain the events to Su Jiu'er.

After hearing everything, Su Jiu'er was almost dumbfounded.

Isn't this incredible?

Originally, it should have been a catastrophe.

But Ye Guichen, being equally matched with the opponent, managed to ingeniously defuse it.

Though this defusal might only be temporary, at least it gave Su Family a reprieve.

Now, Feng Wuji is considered dead in others' eyes, with rumors saying he was killed after discovering Shen Lian's secret eting.

Despite many holes in the story, no one cared about the truth.

The Feng Family is angry; although they are less than the Shen Family, if they fight, they'll strip the Shen Family's skin.

At this ti, the Shen Family can't act recklessly; they must be constantly wary of the Feng Family.

As for the truth, it's not sothing that can be quickly uncovered.

With the Feng Family holding back the Shen Family, the Shen Family can't shift the focus to the Su Family quickly since Shen Lian was just one offspring, and they wouldn't ruin their big business for him.

"Oh my, I feel so exhilarated!" Su Jiu'er's cheeks flushed, excitent evident, increasingly feeling Ye Guichen did all this for her.

"Celebrating is premature; the priority is to find the Wei Donglin siblings swiftly. The Shen Family might not act imdiately, but other families in the Southwest Region won't be as patient. By now, they're discussing strategies, so your Su Family must hurry." Ye Guichen wisely threw a bucket of cold water.

Su Cheng's face turned ashen, eyebrows furrowing: "It's indeed strange, the Wei Donglin siblings have vanished as if into thin air, Su Wu's n practically turned Su Family inside out, yet found no trace at all."
