Eternal Beast Taming Family

Faced with Chu Shenghan's question, the noble ladies and gentlemen kneeling on the ground, dressed in luxurious clothes, dared not utter a word.

Chu Shenghan then turned to look at the couple who appeared extremely reserved at this moment.

"Are you Su-won's biological parents? Why are you dressed like this? Not to mention that Su-won receives a hundred taels of silver every month, our Chu family also gives you various kinds of cloth, grain, meat, and subsidies every month."

These things, even if we don't talk about wearing gold and silver, at least have enough neat and clean clothes for you to wear. Now, dressing up like this, aren't you just asking for trouble?

Or have you all become so arrogant that you think playing the victim will get you more benefits? That you can trample on the dignity of the adopted daughter of the Chu family?

Chu Shenghan was surprised to find that she could actually say so much in a fit of anger. Xu Yinyue gently placed her hand on Chu Shenghan's arm to comfort her.

However, Xu Yinyue did not try to dissuade her. Now, Chu Shenghan was representing the identity of the eldest daughter of the Chu family, and she needed to show her power to suppress these strange and unsettling thoughts.

When faced with their own daughter, the Chen couple could still offer some explanations, or at worst, use their biological parents to suppress their tantrum.

But now they were facing the real Miss Chu. They were just villagers from the countryside, how could they dare to argue? If they said something carelessly, the lives of their entire family would be in her hands.

In such a world, villagers are used to being subservient, so the couple immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

"Miss, we were blinded by greed. It was those young masters who instructed us to agree to make a scene, and in return, they would make our son a contract master."

"To disregard the situation of another person who has become the daughter of a contractor, all for the sake of a promise that can be reneged at any time?"

Didn't you consider that if this incident happens, your daughter's situation in the Chu family might become even more difficult? Would she be rejected by the Chu family?

No, haven't you considered that your eyes and hearts are completely focused on your other good-for-nothing son? No matter how capable your daughter is, she can't support the family.

The Chen couple lowered their heads in shame, but whether they truly repented was something only they themselves knew.

After hearing these words, the onlookers roughly understood what had happened and began pointing and whispering among themselves at the Chen couple.

Chu Shenghan walked to Chu Suyuan's side and said, "As this is your family matter, I shouldn't interfere. But as my sworn sister, you must not be soft-hearted now. Small evils will lead to great evils later."

Therefore, all expenses and salaries will remain the same, but you cannot appear in front of Sister So-won on your own initiative, nor can you act in Sister So-won's name.

Otherwise, once discovered, not only will all your current expenses be abolished, but my Chu family will personally go to the government office to sever your blood ties.

Upon hearing Chu Shenghan's words, the couple's faces visibly paled.

The woman grabbed the old man's hand, saying, "Please don't be offended, Miss. We'll leave right away."

In no time at all, the two had disappeared into the crowd.

With the help of the servants and apprentices, the clinic returned to its original order.

However, compared to before, the queue inside the clinic was much shorter, and there were several young masters and ladies from wealthy families kneeling on the ground to examine patients.

It is estimated that this will remain a beautiful sight in the store for a long time to come.

Chu Suyuan softly thanked Chu Shenghan, "Thank you."

Chu Shenghan waved her hand, "Sister Suyuan, why are you thanking me? We're family. In Qixia Town, you should act like the head of the household and not allow these petty scoundrels to bully you."

Chu Suyuan smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."

Chu Suyuan led the two towards the courtyard behind the pharmacy. Reaching the pavilion, she served them tea before asking with a hint of curiosity.

"Why did you decide to come down the mountain today?"

"Of course I'm here to be a hero and save the damsel in distress," Chu Shenghan said with a playful smile.

Chu Suyuan reached out and gently slapped Chu Shenghan's hand. "Stop fooling around, let's get serious."

Seeing Chu Shenghan being mischievous, Xu Yinyue silently shook her head.

"Okay, okay, let's get serious. So, Su-won, aren't you fourteen or fifteen this year? Your mother is thinking about arranging your marriage."

She asked me to ask you first, what are your thoughts on this? Do you want to wait and see, or have you already decided on someone?

In fact, Jiang Nian's original words were about whether or not to ask her biological parents for their opinions, but after meeting those awful parents today, Chu Shenghan cut that part out.

Chu Suyuan's face flushed slightly. "I haven't thought about these things yet."

"Mother's intention is also to observe first. Our Chu family has risen suddenly in Zhiyao County, with a shallow foundation and not much understanding of the family traditions of other aristocratic families."

She said you're still young and can wait a few more years, but she was worried you might have other ideas, so she asked me to ask you what you think first.

The blush on Chu Suyuan's face slowly faded, and she smiled as she spoke, "Then it's entirely up to Mother to decide. I have no time to think about these things right now."

"Alright, then I'll pass on the message to my mother. By the way, my mother also said that if you find someone you like, don't be shy. If the other person is a good person, no matter what their family background is, after my mother has investigated them, she will naturally let you have a grand wedding."

Chu Suyuan waved her hand gently, "I really don't have time to think about these things right now. I'm just thinking about improving my cultivation level, contracting a new source beast, and managing this medicine shop well."

A hint of envy flashed in Xu Yinyue's eyes. "You're doing quite well too. You have your own career without having to rely on others."

Chu Suyuan took Xu Yinyue's arm and said, "Don't worry, your mother doesn't let you go out easily because she wants to protect you. Once things are more stable here in the future, you can go out and work too."

Xu Yinyue nodded slightly. She was naturally aware of these things. As she grew older and read more books, she realized how terrible it was to show off her talent in that way.

Fortunately, she encountered the Chu family; otherwise, she might have been raised as a plaything of some powerful clan, used as a tool, either to search for treasures for them or to observe the terrain outside the boundary for them.

She should be content, for she could never have the freedom to wander around as she does now and have her own monthly salary.

But despite saying that, that feeling of envy lingered in my heart for a long time, and I couldn't shake it off.

Chu Shenghan and Chu Suyuan chatted for a while longer before someone from the pharmacy came to ask Chu Suyuan about something, so they didn't stay long.

They came to this town after a long break from their studies, to relax, stroll around, and have some fun.
