After Su Yunling's repeated encouragement, Princess Su finally applied a layer of beauty cream. What was different this time was that the imagined redness, swelling and itching did not appear. Instead, she felt particularly moisturized and refreshed.

Seeing that she had not shown any discomfort for a long time, Su Yunling became more certain of his guess.

She immediately instructed Princess Su to carry the two things she gave her with her and not to leave them until she had used them up.

Princess Su frowned and asked, "Why is that?"

"Because I suspect that the things you used before, mother, were tampered with by someone."

Princess Su was frightened for a moment, but after she came to her senses she suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder...

However, since problems occurred every time she used these things, it meant that the person who harmed her was right next to her.

Su Yunling leaned over and whispered a few words to Princess Su: "If mother wants to know who betrayed you, you can do this..."

Just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had discussed a plan, Su Yunling left Qinglan Garden and headed for Baicaotang.

Although she entered the Prince Su's Mansion, Princess Su and Xiao Ji Chen had no objection to her continuing to run the pharmacy.

Prince Su took advantage of his stay in Beijing to make secret plans every day, and had no time to care about the affairs of his daughter-in-law.

However, on the day when Su Yunling dealt with Concubine Yan, Prince Su called Xiao Jichen and expressed his concerns and dissatisfaction with Su Yunling.

Prince Su thought that Su Yunling was too flamboyant. He caused trouble on the second day after he entered the house. Who knows how much trouble he would cause in the future.

The implication is that Xiao Ji Chen should keep a good control over his Crown Prince's Consort and not let her ruin his great cause.

But Xiao Jichen blocked her words, "I will take good care of my wife, and please take good care of your concubine, father."

How did Su Yunling know this? The answer was that Qingying accidentally mentioned it in order to please Bingzhi.

On the way to Baicaotang, Su Yunling always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her in the dark, but when she looked back, everything seemed normal.

Now, she has married into the Prince Su's Mansion. According to Emperor Jing Zhao's personality, he will probably drive Prince Su's family back to the fiefdom soon.

Before that, she needed to find a manager who was well versed in pharmacology and good at business management to temporarily manage Baicaotang for her during the time she was away from Beijing.

After the news spread, she went upstairs to sort out the prescriptions in her hand.

At noon, Xiao Ji Chen sent someone to bring her steamed crabs, chestnut cakes and sweet soup from the palace's kitchen.

She sat under the window, eating crabs leisurely. Just as she broke off a leg, she heard the waiter downstairs come to report that Su Zhiyuan had arrived.

Su Yunling almost forgot about this unlucky guy. Although she hadn't paid attention to the two stupid brothers of the Su family recently, she still heard a lot of news about them.

They did not have a good time during this period. Seeing that Su Zhaohong's lineage had fallen to such a state, the relatives from the side branches of the Su family even set their sights on taking over their house.

The two uncles came one after another and said that they were willing to adopt them as their sons as long as they gave them the house.

Naturally, the two brothers were unwilling to do so. They were about to reach adulthood and did not need anyone to take care of them. Their uncle and aunt could have robbed them openly, but they did this just to make it sound better.

Seeing that they were unmoved, the uncles and aunts threatened that if they did not agree to give up the house, they would remove Su Zhaohong's spirit tablet from the ancestral hall, delete Su Zhaohong's name from the family tree, and let his family become wandering ghosts after death.

Because of this, the two brothers fought with their uncle's families, and both brothers were injured to varying degrees.

They went to the government office to sue their uncle for robbing their private house, but unexpectedly their uncle had connections in the government office and turned the tables on them, then put them in jail and tortured them for three days before Su Yueying asked someone to get them out.

Su Yunling had obviously guessed Su Zhiyuan's intention. After she removed the last crab leg, she gave instructions to the people below:

"Let him come up."

When she saw Su Zhiyuan again, she was stunned by the thin man with empty eyes, untidy beard, and a look as if all his yang energy had been sucked out.

But looking at the black aura lingering around him, she understood everything.

Sure enough, it was his turn so soon.

"Mr. Su, is there anything wrong?" Her attitude was cold and distant.

Su Zhiyuan didn't care too much, but went straight to the point and stated his purpose.

"You told us last time that Yingying would take away our luck. Is that true?"

Su Yunling smiled faintly: "You came here to ask me, isn't it because you noticed something?"

Su Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment and replied, "I would like you to treat my illness."

In fact, ever since he came to see Su Yunling last time and heard what Su Yunling said, a seed of doubt seemed to have been planted in his heart.

During this time, he also secretly observed Su Yueying's every move. One night, he went to bring Su Yueying some insect repellent incense.

But I accidentally saw her talking to the air outside the door and window.

His heart tightened at the time, thinking that she was sick, but he accidentally heard a few words like "luck".

But before he could hear clearly, Su Yueying discovered him, and he had to find an excuse to resolve the embarrassment.

But thinking about the downfall of the Su family and the accidents that happened to family members one after another, his suspicion of Su Yueying grew deeper.

When he woke up the next day, he felt his head was heavy and his consciousness was fuzzy, just like when he woke up the next day after being drunk. He went to see a doctor but the doctor couldn't find anything.

His physical discomfort is getting worse, so he wants Su Yunling to take a look at him.

"I can't treat your illness here. Even a miracle doctor can't cure retribution."

Su Zhiyuan suddenly realized something, and a panic surged in his heart, and his head suddenly hurt even more.

He rushed forward and grabbed her wrist, like grabbing the only piece of driftwood in the surging waves.

At this moment, he actually felt that the chain around his neck seemed to loosen, and his breathing became smoother than it had been for a long time.

Su Yunling watched the black energy around him suddenly dissipate as it approached her, but she was not surprised.

The auspicious aura around her is the nemesis of this bad luck.

"Lingling, Second Brother knows that we have let you down in the past. Second Brother will definitely make it up to you in the future. Please save me! I have been living a life worse than death these past few days."

Because of an inexplicable disease, he made a mistake in writing a petition for someone, and mistakenly wrote "Feng" as "Ma". As a result, he sued the wrong person, and his stall was smashed, and he lost all his savings. It will be difficult for him to make a living by writing in the future.

He was a well-known talent in the capital, so how could he make such a mistake? The more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed.

Su Yunling was indifferent to her belated confession. "If you want to see a doctor, the doctor is downstairs, but I advise you not to waste your time. Your luck has been taken away and you are plagued by bad luck. Even magic pills and miraculous medicines are useless."

After saying that, she shook Su Zhiyuan off.

Su Zhiyuan's thin body fell backwards, and the feeling of suffocation as if his throat was being strangled became stronger again.

He originally had some doubts about the mysterious stories of ghosts and gods, but now he had to believe in the so-called theory of luck.

"Did Yingying really do it? How can I verify it?" He didn't want to die in confusion. If it was really Su Yueying, he must expose her.

"The more unlucky you are, the luckier she is. You might as well go back and take a look..."

Su Zhiyuan dragged his sick body back home. Before he even entered the mansion, he heard the steward of the mansion next door congratulating him:

"Congratulations, Mr. Su. Your sister has done a great job in saving the emperor. The emperor has given her many rewards. The Su family is expected to make a comeback!"
