Just as the Beiyuan envoys were about to arrive in Shangjing, Su Yueying's face was ruined by an ant.

After searching for the Tianshan Snow Lotus in vain and trying all kinds of prescriptions, the poisonous bubble showed signs of festering.

Xuan Mo, Xiao Nanchuan and the eldest prince all came to visit several times, but Su Yueying avoided them, for fear of appearing in such a state.

She always claimed that she had contracted a fever, so she needed Tianshan Snow Lotus as medicine.

The Su family was in a panic, of course, the little fox Su Yunling was an exception.

Due to her previous reputation as the "female doctor", as well as the reasonable prices and pure medicinal materials in her pharmacy, Baicaotang became the most trusted pharmacy for the people of Shangjing.

Su Yunling has been busy counting copper coins and weighing silver recently, and her hands are cramping.

However, the Su family had no idea that Su Yunling had opened a medicine shop on Yongning Street.

So when the servants in the mansion rushed back to report that the newly opened "Baicaotang" had Tianshan Snow Lotus, they immediately became excited.

Su Yueying couldn't help but her eyes sparkled.

Old Mrs. Su comforted her again and again, saying that her dear granddaughter would be cured soon.

Su Zhaohong immediately ordered his smartest second son Su Zhiyuan and third son Su Hanyu to bring enough banknotes and buy the items back no matter what.

Just as the two brothers were about to leave, they heard the servant ask doubtfully, "Master, I heard that the Baicao Hall was opened by the Second Miss, why don't you discuss it with the Second Miss?"

Everyone in the Su family was stunned, and Su Zhaohong was even more horrified.

"What? You said that Su Yunling, that rebellious daughter, was secretly doing business outside?" No wonder the mansion has been so peaceful recently, it turns out... she went out and brought disgrace upon herself.

"That illiterate, arrogant and rude little girl, how could she open a medicine store? She must have set up a stall in some corner to cheat people?" Old Mrs. Su's wrinkled face was full of disdain and contempt.

The servant's words seemed to slap her in the face: "The second young lady's shop is in the best location on Yongning Street. It is the largest medicine shop in Shangjing. It has all kinds of precious medicinal materials!"

The Su family was shocked again.

"With her? Can she open a store?" Su Jingyi frowned and spoke with contempt, as if he was unwilling to accept that Su Yunling was different from what he remembered.

"The Second Miss's medicine shop is doing very well. Last time, I had severe abdominal pain and bought a cup of medicine. It took less than half an incense stick for me to feel better after I finished drinking it."

"Dad... Brother... the most urgent thing now is to get the Tianshan Snow Lotus back." Su Yueying didn't want to hear any good news about Su Yunling, so she gritted her teeth and interrupted them.

Old Madam Su had a shrewd look on her face. "Right! Since the Tianshan Snow Lotus belongs to Su Yunling, there is no need to spend money to buy it. We are all family, so just let her bring it back for Yingying to use."

But Su Zhaohong and the three brothers of the Su family all changed their expressions quietly. They knew very well that this thing might not be so easy to get.

Su Zhaohong had a day off today, so he took his three sons to visit Baicaotang in person.

As soon as the father and his two sons arrived at the door of the pharmacy, they were shocked by its scale and grand decoration.

There is indeed no other pharmacy of this scale in Shangjing City. From a distance, it looks like a restaurant.

The father and his sons had no idea what kind of mood they were in. Just as they were about to go up the stairs, they brushed shoulders with a colleague from the Ministry of Revenue who was carrying a bag of medicine.

"Sir Su, your daughter is truly a role model for women in our dynasty! Her medical skills, vision, and broad mind are truly unprecedented!"

"...Oh..." Su Zhaohong's face was stiff and he didn't know how to respond.

I just heard that person continue to talk endlessly, "Lord Su has two beauties in his family, both of them are as beautiful as the moon in the sky, outstanding and unique, really the envy of others!"

"Lord Qi, you are too kind..." Su Zhaohong's smile was uglier than crying.

Finally they entered the pharmacy. As soon as the father and his two sons entered the lobby, they saw Su Yunling, whose face was covered with a white veil and who was busy fiddling with an abacus.

She is not illiterate, so when will she settle the accounts?

The four father and sons all felt very strange, especially Su Zhaohong. Looking at Su Yunling's smart and capable appearance, he seemed to see Xu Wanhua.

"I heard that you have some freshly picked Tianshan Snow Lotus?" Su Jingyi stepped forward and went straight to the point.

Su Yunling was not surprised by their arrival, and said without even raising his head, "Yes, there is, but it's a pity that it has already been reserved by a noble person."

"Su Yunling, you are a daughter of the Su family, how can you be so ungrateful? Are the distinguished guests more important than your family?" Su Zhaohong started scolding as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I can't help it. Not only is he of noble status, but he also offers a high price!"

"Su Yunling, the Su family has provided you with food and drink and raised you for more than ten years. How can you have the nerve to ask for money?" Su Jingyi acted like an elder brother and slammed the table angrily.

"I want your life, will you give it to me? If not, get out of here. I don't talk to fools." Su Yunling raised his eyes and glared at him, his eyes full of undisguised disgust.

"you……"

"How much? We'll buy it!" When Su Jingyi was about to get angry, Su Zhiyuan stopped him in time.

Su Yunling closed the account book, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly under her veil.

"Two thousand taels... of gold."

"What? Why don't you go and rob?"

The father and his sons became excited, but Su Yunling was totally unmoved. She claimed that the Tianshan Snow Lotus was the only one in her Baicaotang.

If they don't buy it, soon there will be wealthy officials who will scramble for it.

After all, this is a unique treasure. Whether it is for collection, medicine, or gift, it is a top-notch product.

Su Zhaohong, an old man in the officialdom, certainly knows this better than anyone else.

Su Zhaohong hesitated and thought over and over again.

Although the price of this miracle medicine is high, the cost is also relative. It is really too much to ask Su Yunling to give it away for free.

He finally decided to take a step back and offer one thousand taels of gold.

When Su Yunling heard this, she immediately asked the waiter to see the guest off, as she was not in a hurry anyway.

Su Zhaohong was furious. "You are a rebellious girl who has deviated from the norm and is willing to be associated with peddlers and hawkers. My Su family..."

"Father, did you see the plaque outside when you came in? Why don't you go out and take a look before coming back in to continue scolding?"

Su Zhaohong suppressed his anger, went out angrily, looked up, and came back embarrassedly.

"You actually tricked the emperor into giving you his imperial calligraphy?"

"Everyone knows that I opened a pharmacy with the permission of the emperor, except you, of course. Aren't you ashamed when you make demands on me as if it were a matter of course?"

The four of them, father and son, were all silent, their wandering eyes never looking at her again.

In the evening, just as she returned to Qiyunxuan, Su Yueying came wearing a veiled hat.

The first thing she did was to ask Su Yunling why he didn't sell the Tianshan Snow Lotus to her?

"I am the Holy Maiden of Great Yin, the most noble woman in this country. If you dare not sell it to me, I will let the Emperor punish you!"

Su Yunling admired her harsh words with cold eyes, and said calmly: "If you want the Tianshan Snow Lotus, return all my mother's dowry to me, and prepare two thousand taels of gold, otherwise I will sell it to someone else."

"...You dare!" Su Yueying was furious.

Su Yunling raised his chin and hummed a leisurely tune: "Since you don't want shame, then don't want... face."

The hatred in Su Yueying's eyes almost made her want to cut Su Yunling into pieces, and her twisted expression made the burning pain even more intense.

After struggling for a long time, she finally compromised.

That night, people were sent to move the gold, silver, jewelry, beautiful jade, porcelain, famous paintings, ancient books... and two full boxes of gold into Qiyunxuan.

Su Yueying originally thought that she would just accept it without thinking, since the dowry had been unknown since Xu Wanhua's death.

But no one expected that Su Yunling would actually ask Mrs. Qian to check each item on the original dowry list one by one.

Not long after, Mrs. Qian whispered in Su Yunling's ear:

"Miss, I haven't seen any title deeds to any shops, farms, fields, etc."

"Sister, is this your sincerity? Are you treating me like a fool?" Su Yunling's tone was cold and sarcastic.

Seeing that she couldn't get away with it, Su Yueying had no choice but to grit her teeth and hand over the property deeds.

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Don't act like you got me a bargain. These things originally belonged to me. Do you think they belong to you just because you've been carrying them for so long? That's the logic of a robber."

"Su Yunling, I think you are the robber!" Old Madam Su's sharp scolding came from outside the door...
