Chapter 99 - 99: Heavenly Medicine Sect Isn’t a Fool
Upon seeing Su Qian’s curious gaze, Gu Qingyou recalled something amusing and couldn’t help but laugh. “The Su family wants to sell those Soul Cleansing Elixirs to the Heavenly Medicine Sect at a low price to recover their losses.”
“Hmph, the Heavenly Medicine Sect is not stupid. A mere first-grade elixir is definitely not worthy of their attention.” Su Qian said confidently.
“Master’s guess is correct. The Su family’s actions have thoroughly angered Heavenly Medicine Sect. Heavenly Medicine Sect feels that the Su family is evasive and untrustworthy, while the Su family feels that Heavenly Medicine Sect is overbearing. I heard that they have already fallen out. Heavenly Medicine Sect will not be polite in the future. They will most likely use their sect’s power to force the Su family to pay up,” Gu Qingyou said.
“Yes, I guess Ancestor Su and Su Chenghua are probably so worried that their hair has turned white every day.” Su Qian smiled lightly and took the tea from the maid. She used the tea bowl to suppress the foam and took a sip. “Although the Su family has lost their ancestral’s mansion, they still have all kinds of shops and stores. Even if they give some to Heavenly Medicine Sect, they will still have some savings. At that time, they will definitely find a way to turn things around.”
“The Su family has already been forced to a dead end. I feel that it’s time for us to make our move,” Gu Qingyou said slowly.
“I know you’re anxious, but I’m even more anxious than you are. It’s just that I don’t want to see the Su family in the future. If we’re going to make a move, we need to make a fatal blow. If we can’t, it’s better to wait a few more days,” Su Qian said slowly.
“Master, I will not act rashly. In fact, Liu Qi came to me today and said that our pharmacy’s new apprentice deliberately made mistakes. After investigating, we found out that the person was sent by the Su family. It seems that the Su family wants to sabotage our pharmacy,” Gu Qingyou said.
Su Qian didn’t get angry at all but her eyes lit up. “Great, if the Su family wants to plot against me, don’t blame me for plotting back against them. Gu Qingyou, get Liu Qi to keep those spies from the Su family for now. They will definitely be of great use in the future.”
“Yes.” Gu Qingyou hesitated for a moment before speaking up, “Miss, the Nangong family seems to have heard the news of your return. Do you want to go back and take a look?”
At the mention of the Nangong family, Su Qian’s gaze flickered and she fell silent.
Other than her two children, the Nangong family was the one that worried her the most.
Gu Qingyou knew that Su Qian cared deeply about the Nangong family.
It was understandable. Although others might not have noticed, Gu Qingyou knew the false identity used by Su Qian’s pharmacy.
Gong Nan, Gong Nan, wasn’t that the reverse of Nangong? Master used this name to represent that she wasn’t just revenging the Su family for her own sake, but also for the sake of the Nangong family!
“If the Su family isn’t eliminated, I won’t have the face to go back,” Su Qian said calmly and waved her hand. “I’m tired. You can leave now.”
“Yes…” Gu Qingyou did not dare to disturb Su Qian and quickly left the room.
In the next two days, just as Su Qian had expected, the Su family took the initiative to mortgage their shop to Heavenly Medicine Sect to keep their mouth shut. Without any chance to catch their breath. Su Qian arranged for Gu Qingyou to urge the Su family to pay back the 20 million taels of gold they owed the Feng Lin Auction House.
Even if Ancestor Su sold himself, he would not be able to gather that much money. He had no choice but to bring a gift to plead with Gu Qingyou. He begged for half a day in exchange for Gu Qingyou’s forgiveness for five days.
However, everyone knew that the Su family couldn’t possibly gather that much money in five days..
