When Zhang Laosan saw that his granddaughter had made such a big mistake, he angrily scolded her: "Nonsense! If you need this house, why don't you ask your second grandfather instead of stealing it yourself?"

"You're going to make me cursed by my ancestors after I die!! How could I have such a troublesome granddaughter like you?"

The last sentence was spoken with great emphasis.

Zhang Xuanxuan immediately burst into tears.

"Grandpa, no, I really didn't steal anything, I was wrong..."

Zhang Cheng looked embarrassed. "Dad..."

"Don't say another word. If you utter another word, you'll no longer be my son."

When Zhang Laosan got angry, the anxiety in the hearts of everyone present lessened considerably.

"Third brother, alright, let Xuanxuan finish speaking first."

The second son in the family seemed much calmer. He gestured for Zhang Laosan to look at the old man in the ancestral hall. When Zhang Laosan looked over, he found his father staring at him with a stern face. Startled, he quickly shut up and then added, "Xuanxuan, explain yourself properly."

Zhang Xuanxuan's mental defenses completely collapsed. She hadn't expected things to turn out so badly; it was just a prescription for treating lung disease.

How did it escalate to this extent?

She stammered, tears streaming down her face, "Great-Grandpa, I never showed anyone the prescriptions I photographed in Second Grandpa's study. Those prescriptions are still on my phone. I only had the medicine prepared using the family's prescriptions; I didn't leak anything else."

"Xuanxuan, great-grandfather, I believe in you, get up!" Old Zhang, leaning on his cane, raised his left hand to help Zhang Xuanxuan, who was kneeling on the ground, to stand up.

He was filled with worry at this moment, wondering who was plotting against the Zhang family.

Thinking of this, with the help of others, he walked up to Zhang Xuanxuan and said, "However, you have to tell your great-grandfather that since you are asking for medicine for your savior, why don't you go directly to your second grandfather or ask me for it?"

Seeing that Grandpa Zhang's attitude was good and he didn't intend to scold her for the time being, Xuanxuan could only hold back her tears and wipe them away from her face with one hand, "Great-Grandpa, I..."

"Did he send you to steal this?"

"No, no," Zhang Xuanxuan quickly waved her hand.

“It wasn’t him. I wanted to go directly to him myself. I know the Zhang family’s rules: prescriptions are not to be leaked.” Zhang Xuanxuan was agitated. “The person who saved me never mentioned the prescription. He didn’t even know I was from the Zhang family in the capital. He was very weak in front of me and coughed frequently. I thought about going to ask you, my second grandfather and great-grandfather, but I know your rules: you won’t prescribe medicine for others without seeing the specific situation. My savior was unwilling to come and unwilling to accept my kindness, so I came up with this idea.”

"This is utter nonsense!!!"

Zhang Laosan roared again from behind, wanting to go forward and teach Zhang Xuanxuan a lesson, but was stopped by Zhang Laoer.

“Third brother!!”

“I originally went to my second grandfather’s house to ask him for a prescription, but I happened to see some medicine on the table that day. I didn’t quite understand which one was for treating lung disease, so I took pictures of them all.”

Zhang Xuanxuan's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke.

His head was bowed very low.

Did that person know the specific contents of the prescription?

"I don't know!" Zhang Xuanxuan raised her hand. "I swear, I never showed it to him!"

Hearing this, the others' expressions softened a bit.

If you don't know, that makes things easier.

The Zhang family's business empire can still be maintained.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lao Er stepped forward as if admitting his mistake, "Father, it is my fault. I was negligent at home."

Old Zhang gripped his cane with both hands, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the edge of the cane.

No words were spoken.

No one else has seen it?

I haven't seen it. What could possibly happen to my family?

Could it be that I miscalculated?

Impossible. Even if he was wrong, Liang Xiaoyou couldn't possibly be wrong.

His hunches were almost always right in the general direction.

Judging from Xuanxuan's confident demeanor, she doesn't seem like someone who would casually hand over the foundation of the Zhang family's existence.

He knew his own granddaughter well; although she was willful, she wouldn't lie without warning.

"Xuanxuan, since you said that person is arrogant, how did he accept your medicine later?"

When Mr. Zhang asked out of the blue, Zhang Xuanxuan was startled and quickly replied, "He gave me money, and I took his money."

"That medicine isn't cheap for ordinary people, how could he afford it?"

"I...I sold it to him for nine hundred a course of treatment..."

"What......."

"I go......."

Nine hundred?!

"When did the Zhang family's medicine become so worthless?!"

"......"

The entire audience was shocked, and an uproar ensued.

Zhang Lao Er also stared at Zhang Xuanxuan with a sullen face, his brows almost furrowed into a tight knot.

"Look at the good daughter you raised!" Unable to scold Zhang Xuanxuan, Zhang Laosan could only berate Zhang Cheng, "Her savior used the Zhang family's foundation to save her, who told you to raise her like this?!"

“Dad, even if she is your savior, it is understandable that Xuanxuan thinks this way.”

"You worthless wretch! Don't even mention her, even if you included me, you'd be worse than a single ingredient in the Zhang family's medicine formula. Are you trying to squander the entire legacy of our ancestors?!"

"Third brother, that's enough. Dad is still asking about Xuanxuan. Stop interrupting and scolding her. If you want to scold your own child, go back to your home."

Zhang Laosi went over and pulled her aside.

This concerns everyone's interests, and most people are very worried right now. They get annoyed whenever they see Xuanxuan, and he's just adding fuel to the fire.

Influenced by so many people, Zhang Xuanxuan burst into tears and cried out.

She poked a hole in the bag she was clutching in her hand.

"Father, what's going on with this...?"

Zhang Lao Er lowered his head, pondering what would happen next.

"Second Grandfather, I really didn't leak the prescription."

Zhang Xuanxuan looked to her second grandfather for help.

Zhang Lao Er sighed, "Father, this is also my fault. I will handle the rest. You should rest for a while. I will find that person and ask him for clarification."

Old Zhang remained silent throughout.

Just by standing there with a serious expression, his imposing presence alone was enough to make people afraid to even breathe.

He turned around and waved his hand, "Go investigate first."

"However, it's likely all been leaked..."

The divination was correct; the source of the Zhang family's troubles should be this incident. Unfortunately, he didn't meet Liang Xiaoyou beforehand, otherwise there would still be room for maneuver.

Upon hearing Zhang Lao's last words, the others could no longer conceal their anxiety.

Most of them looked at Zhang Xuanxuan with resentment.

Everyone was unhappy because their wealth and status were affected.

"Yes." Zhang Lao Er felt a little relieved.

"Third brother, have Xuanxuan come to my house tomorrow."

Zhang Xuanxuan and her family walked out of the Zhang family's old house amidst the jeers and curses of the crowd.

Zhang Cheng was in a heavy mood and didn't say a word on the way back.

Zhang Xuanxuan felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, "Dad..."
