Su Huan spoke in a leisurely tone, "Father, it seems that some people are unwilling to do this. Why not leave it to..."

Madam Su glanced at Su Huan and interrupted her coldly, "Your father has already said so, so he must keep his word."

At this moment, Zhu Shi did not dare to disobey the words of the old lady and the prime minister. She gritted her teeth and said unwillingly, "Okay, two hundred thousand taels. I will have someone send the banknote to your courtyard later."

Su Huan chuckled and continued, "I will ask someone to take care of the affairs of Jisheng Medicinal Materials Store, so no one else needs to worry about it. If stepmother is free, please prepare my mother's dowry as soon as possible. Don't wait until I am about to get married before I have finished preparing it."

Zhu had a gloomy face and said, "You little bitch, you are wishful thinking. I will kill you. You must return the two hundred thousand taels I gave you today."

Madam Su said solemnly with a stern face, "What's yours is yours, and no one will be left without you."

"I feel much more relieved with what grandma said." Su Huan hadn't finished what she wanted to do yet. She was called back specially, and it wasn't a wasted trip for her to get back 200,000 taels. She was too lazy to waste words with these people.

"Grandmother, father, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Before leaving, Su Huan did not forget to remind Zhu, "Just give the banknote to Madam Xia in my courtyard."

Zhu was already so angry that her chest ached because Su Huan wanted to take away 200,000 taels in one go, and every time Su Huan mentioned it, it was like another needle stick in her heart.

Looking at Su Huan's back as she left, Su Xuan took the opportunity to put on a generous attitude and said to her father, "Father, my cousin is in charge of the Jisheng Herbal Medicine Store. There has been no mistakes in these years. Everything he did was for our Xiangfu."

She spoke in a gentle, yet piercing voice, "Father, my elder sister listened to those guys and took a tough stance in front of you, forcing mother to give two hundred thousand taels at once. This is too inconsiderate of father and the face of the prime minister's mansion. Even if you have any ideas, you should be more friendly."

How could Su Bingyan not know this? The expenses of the Prime Minister's Mansion over the years were huge, and every aspect of it required money. Although the dowry left by Shen was a huge benefit, it was only because of the proper management of the Prime Minister's Mansion that it was preserved to this day, otherwise it would have become a mess long ago.

Zhu looked at the Prime Minister's expression and realized that just a few words from her daughter had made the Prime Minister even more displeased with that little bitch Su Huan.

At this time, Madam Su said to Su Bingyan, "You are busy with official duties all day long. You should take a good rest when you have time. These are all matters in the back house. Your wife will take care of them. You must be tired of going back and forth for these matters all day. I will tell your wife about the following matters. You can go now."

Su Bingyan bowed and said, "Yes, thank you for your trouble, mother. I will take my leave now."

After Su Bingyan left, Madam Su looked at Shopkeeper Zhu with a hint of anger, "Your cousin trusted you and let you manage a herbal medicine store, and yet you still made such a mistake."

Shopkeeper Zhu said timidly, "Madam, I didn't expect Su Huan to come here so suddenly."

Madam Su frowned and said to Zhu: "In the beginning, we replaced the managers of the shop, farm, and forest with our own people. Why didn't we replace the herbal medicine shop?"

Zhu quickly explained, "Madam, the herbal medicine business is different from other businesses. It requires experienced people. I never thought that those people would have such thoughts. They appear to be obedient, but in fact they only support that bitch Su Hua."

Madam Su closed her eyes and sighed deeply. What a powerful existence the Shen family was back then. Those people were all from the Shen family. How could they truly submit to someone outside the Shen family? She asked coldly, "There won't be any clues in other places, right?"

Zhu: "No, it was just a coincidence today, and that little bitch didn't have a chance to investigate."

Madam Su opened her eyes and understood what was meant. She nodded and said, "That's good."

Su Xuan noticed the look her mother gave her, and then she said softly beside Old Madam Su, "Grandma, don't be angry, have a cup of tea."

Shopkeeper Zhu said, "Madam, if Su Huan wants to take over Jisheng Medicinal Materials Store herself, I will have Yaowang Pavilion cut off its business relationship with Jisheng Medicinal Materials Store, so that she won't be able to sell any medicinal materials, and she will have a hard time on the first day."

"Yes." Madam Su said coldly: "But this is not the most important thing. The most urgent thing is to eliminate the trouble forever without leaving any trace."

Zhu replied, "Yes, old lady, I understand that Su Huan, that little bitch, will not be able to be so proud for many days."

Madam Su: "I am tired, you all should leave."

Then, the three Zhu family members came out of Fuxi Hall.

Shopkeeper Zhu did not delay and went straight to find the manager of Yaowang Pavilion. He was determined to repay Su Huan double for the humiliation of having him kicked out of Jisheng Medicine Store in public. He also wanted to send him to the authorities for interrogation. He wanted to see how this little bitch was going to run the medicine store.

Su Xuan walked with her mother, thinking about her cousin's angry departure just now, "Mom, I hope there won't be any more problems with my cousin."

Zhu: "He just went to say hello to the people from Yaowang Pavilion, what could go wrong?"

Su Xuan was very depressed. "Why didn't we drown that bitch Su Huan last time? Mother, what should we do next?"

Zhu's eyes were filled with coldness. "That little bitch wants to take over the Jisheng Herbal Medicine Store. She doesn't like to manage it. Your cousin went to the Medicine King Pavilion. I want to see if she has the ability to revitalize this herbal medicine store. As long as she goes out of the house and goes to the Jisheng Herbal Medicine Store often, she will not worry about not finding opportunities."

Su Xuan: "Mother, you mean, if this happens, Su Huan will have to go out of the house from time to time. We can take action against her when she is out of the house, but it will be difficult to explain to others."

Zhu smiled sinisterly, "If she died in public, it would be hard to explain. But if she died in Jisheng Medicinal Materials Store, we would have the final say on the explanation to the public."

Su Xuan smiled and said, "Mother, should we still give her the 200,000 taels?"

Zhu snorted coldly, "Your grandmother and father have spoken, so of course I have to give it to her, but soon I will ask her to return it in its original state, including the Jisheng Herbal Medicine Store!"

Su Xuan understood instantly. Yes, as long as that little bitch Su Huan died, these things would still belong to them.

Zhu looked at Su Xuan, "Xuan'er, your most important thing is Prince Jing. You don't need to worry about other things. Do you understand?"

Su Xuan responded: "Yes, mother, Xuan'er understands."

She was about to marry into Prince Jing's mansion and become Prince Jing's Consort, revered and high up in the world.

As for that bitch Su Huan, she and Prince Jing had requested the Emperor to grant her marriage, which meant that even if she died, she would have to marry a disabled woman and would always be worthy of being trampled under her feet.
