Era: You're asked to cook a home-style dish, but you cook Wellington.

"Su Wanqing, you're a member of the Su family, yet you actually want to harm the old man."

Uncle Su put down his teacup, sat up straight, and got up from the sofa.

"We all know how rare a century-old ginseng is. The entire Su family doesn't have a single one left. Even we elders are helpless. Tell me, how did you get this ginseng? Is your counterfeiting technique that sophisticated?"

He walked up to Su Wanqing, looked down at her, and extended his hand, gesturing for her to hand over the ginseng in her arms.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Su Xiaoyu immediately stepped forward, opened her arms, and shielded Su Wanqing behind her.

"You're talking nonsense! The ginseng my sister brought back has such a strong medicinal aroma, how could it be fake!"

Su Zhaoyang smiled dismissively.

"Who knows if Su Wanqing used some underhanded means? The Haoting Hotel was built just like that. She managed to coax the old man into going to such lengths with just a few words. No wonder she was brought back from outside. She's so cunning."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately sneered, their eyes filled with disdain as they looked at Su Wanqing.

"Yeah, who knows what methods she used to get this back."

"What? I suspect that what she has in her hand isn't ginseng at all, but is just meant to poison the old man and take over the family fortune."

"Oh, Second Sister-in-law, why waste words with someone like this? Just call security and kick her out."

Whispers circulated among the Su family members, the women whispering amongst themselves, their words filled with malice.

The men remained silent, but they were like judges sitting high above, waiting for the opportune moment to decide Su Wanqing's fate with a wave of their hands.

Su Wanqing felt a chill run through her body.

This two-hundred-year-old ginseng was picked by her and Gao Yang. On the vast mountain, they first encountered torrential rain, then fierce tigers, and then assassins. They had overcome many difficulties, so were they going to be defeated by this last obstacle?

Looking at the people in front of her, each with a face like a wolf, and remembering the old man's care for her, and Gao Yang's resolute face, her eyes suddenly reddened.

Although the Su family is large and its influence extends throughout the country, Yuncheng is the Su family's foundation.

Su Wanqing remembered that ever since she returned to the Su family, she had been constantly ostracized, and even the servants dared to laugh at her at will.

However, the old man always taught her not to hold grudges against these elders, and he went to great lengths to help her smooth things over in Yicheng, building her a luxurious hotel to provide her with a place to settle down and make a living.

"Old man, you're wrong. These people are insatiable ingrates."

Tears welled up in Su Wanqing's eyes, and only fell suddenly when she could no longer hold them back.

Seeing this, Su's second uncle raised an eyebrow without making a sound, his heart filled with smugness.

He had almost completed the task assigned to him. All he needed to do was retrieve the ginseng, and after the old man passed away, he would receive an even greater reward.

Remembering the promise that person had made, he suddenly felt great and looked at Su Wanqing with even more arrogance.

"Alright, Su Wanqing, I know what you're holding isn't ginseng at all. Give it to your second uncle, and he'll forgive you for poisoning the old man. After all, you're still young, and it's not your fault for being misled."

Su Xiaoyu didn't see Su Wanqing's expression, but after hearing these words, she was filled with anger.

"Second Uncle, isn't it too hasty to conclude that my sister is poisoning the old man without even looking?"

"Besides, I believe what my sister is holding is a century-old ginseng. If you don't believe me, get a doctor to test it!"

"My sister is different from you. She went up the mountain herself and brought back the ginseng. Unlike you, you do nothing and just watch the old man die!"

Su Xiaoyu's words came out like a machine gun, her little mouth chattering non-stop.

Uncle Su, who had long held a high position, had never suffered such humiliation. He was furious and immediately raised his hand to strike.

"You who were born of a father but not raised by one, how dare you lecture your elders?"

Su Xiaoyu watched the slap slowly descend, her heart filled with fear, but she kept her eyes tightly shut and did not flinch.

After waiting for a long time, the slap still did not fall.

She cautiously opened her eyes, filled with doubt.

Suddenly, Su Wanqing appeared in front of her, raising her hand to stop her second uncle's slap from falling.

"Second Uncle, I respect you as an elder and do not want to have a conflict with you, but you should not have insulted my father and hit my sister."

Su Wanqing spoke righteously and sternly, her beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with anger.

"elder sister."

Su Xiaoyu was deeply moved.

Uncle frowned, his anger rising even more.

He glanced at the wooden box containing ginseng in Su Wanqing's hand and an idea struck him.

"Okay, you wait."

He made a harsh statement and then reluctantly withdrew his hand.

Su Wanqing also coldly withdrew her hand, preparing to go to the old man's ward.

Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred.

Uncle Su, who had been withdrawing his hand, suddenly raised it again, his target the ginseng.

Su Xiaoyu caught it out of the corner of her eye, and her expression changed drastically.

"Sister, ginseng!"

No one was able to react in time, and Uncle's behavior was completely unexpected by everyone else.

"It's a success!"

Only then did my second uncle, the biggest wolf in the world, reveal his sharp fangs.

Whether or not we can get this ginseng, as long as we don't get the old man better, everything is still negotiable!

The other members of the Su family were also startled, but joy appeared on their faces.

Little did they know, Su Wanqing was already on guard.

She snorted coldly.

"What do you want to do? Destroy this ginseng, destroy the old man's last hope!"

My second uncle was about to speak.

Just then, the ward door was pulled open from the inside.

"It's terrible! The old man is seriously ill. Do we have any ginseng? He needs it to save his life!"

Su Wanqing's eyes lit up, knowing the time was right. She stopped arguing with her second uncle and quickly stepped forward.

"Doctor, quick, this is a two-hundred-year-old ginseng!"

The doctor glanced at it, and his eyes lit up.

"Yes, it's over a hundred years old! Give it to me quickly, the old man can be saved!"

The moment those words were spoken, the living room fell into a deathly silence.

Su Zhaoyang and his relatives from other branches of the family exchanged bewildered glances. The mockery and joy on their faces vanished without a trace, replaced by disbelief and a hint of panic.

If the old man wakes up, wouldn't all their actions just now be exposed?

Only Su Xiaoyu jumped up excitedly, grabbed Su Wanqing's hand, and her eyes were red.

"Sister, I knew it! I knew it was true! Grandpa can be saved!"

Seeing the two sisters so happy, the Su family members quickly exchanged a glance, determined not to let the old man wake up!

"Rob!"

Su Zhaoyang took the initiative, striding over and touching the wooden box with both hands, then suddenly exerting force.

Su Wanqing stumbled and almost fell. Realizing that someone was trying to steal the ginseng, she quickly grabbed the box tightly.

Su Xiaoyu also realized what was happening and quickly hugged Su Wanqing in her arms.

Other members of the Su family also stepped forward, some pulling people away, others grabbing the wooden boxes, creating chaos and a constant commotion.

One person noticed the unusual situation in the hall, slowly walked out of the door, looked at everything in front of him, and frowned.

"Stop it, all of you!"
