BXBX NOVEL Chapter 98 - 98:1 Will Make the Su Family Completely Disappear
After realizing this, Su Qian was filled with disdain.
No matter what kind of scheme this prince was planning, she didn’t care.
“Miss Su’s dance is naturally extraordinary.” The Empress Dowager did not seem willing to continue this topic. “Alright, let’s continue eating.”
No one dared to disobey the Empress Dowager’s words. Everyone continued to eat in an orderly manner. It was not until an hour later that the banquet finally ended and everyone left the palace.
On the way back, Su Qian and Xiao Yan were constantly pointed and whispered at. She pushed Xiao Yan and emitted an aura that repelled strangers. They left the palace as fast as they could and got into a carriage and were sent back to the Su family’s ancestral mansion.
“Your Highness, I’ll take my leave first.” Before Su Qian got out of the carriage, she seemed to have thought of something and said, “If nothing goes wrong, I’ll either be at home or the medicine workshop. If Your Highness goes to the pharmacy to look for me, please do not expose my identity.”
“Qianqian, if you want to take down the Su family, you don’t have to put in so much effort,” Xiao Yan said calmly and composed as he stared at Su Qian with a burning gaze. “Just say the word, and I’ll make the Su family disappear completely.”
It was said that a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The Su family was a first-class force in the imperial capital, but in Xiao Yan’s words, eradicating the Su family was as easy as crushing a small ant.
If someone else had dais those words, Su Qian wouldn’t have believed them. However, since Xiao Yan said this, she knew that this man would never make empty promises. Since he had said it, he would definitely do it.
“Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness,” Su Qian said, politely declining Xiao Yan’s offer. She nodded lightly as she strode towards the Su family’s ancestral mansion.
Xiao Yan watched Su Qian leave until her beautiful figure completely disappeared from his sight. Only then did he finally turn his gaze away and coldly order his subordinates, “Return to the residence.”
Su Qian came back late and the children were already asleep. However, to her surprise, Gu Qingyou had been waiting for her.
Su Qian knew that Gu Qingyou must have something important to report. At this time, the battle with the Su family had just reached a critical point. She could not afford to be careless, so she immediately went to the study room to see Gu Qingyou.
In the study room, Gu Qingyou had been waiting anxiously for Su Qian. After drinking countless cups of tea, he finally heard familiar footsteps.
Gu Qingyou was overjoyed to see Su Qian, he quickly stood up as she pushed open the door.
“I’m sorry for coming back late. Did you wait long?” Su Qian said apologetically. “I thought I’d be back earlier, but the Empress Dowager kept talking to me, so I ended up coming back a little late.”
Gu Qingyou saw that Su Qian gestured for him to sit down and then said thoughtfully, “It seems that the Empress Dowager is interested in Master?”
“It’s just a case of loving the house and its crow. After Xiao Yan and I cancel the engagement, the Empress Dowager will definitely not be so warm to me.” Su Qian heaved a sigh of relief after sitting down. “Do you have something to tell me?”
Seeing that Su Qian was still thinking of canceling the engagement with Xiao Yan, the haze in Gu Qingyou’s heart instantly dissipated. He hurriedly replied, “Master, it seems that the Su family is on the verge of collapse.”
“Oh?” Su Qian revealed a perfect smile. “Is it because the Heavenly Medicine Sect can’t hold anymore?”
“Yes, Master, you are truly brilliant. It was just as you predicted. There is movement from Heavenly Medicine Sect.” Gu Qingyou smiled and continued, “According to the contract between the Su family and Heavenly Medicine Sect, the Su family should have given the reward for refining the elixirs to Heavenly Medicine Sect. However, the Su family is now in dire straits and can’t afford to do so. So they’ve come up with a plan to deal with the Heavenly Medicine Sect..”
