King, Queen Wants Divorce Again!

C21 The next Head of the Su Clan

Healing his elder brother? Su Zixuan's breathing froze, and his eyes were filled with fanaticism. "Really? My brother still has a chance of recovery?! "

"What This King said is possible. Don't have too high of an expectation." Looking at her, Chu Yi Xuan was slightly regretful.

What if she didn't cure it? Wouldn't that just make her feel more sorrowful?

"I understand, but some hope is better than nothing." Su Zixuan did her best to calm her heart. As long as there was a way to cure her brother, she would give it a try, regardless of the possibility.

The scene of her brother playing with her in front of her eyes was still fresh in her mind. Such a good brother, if he hadn't been seriously ill, he would have been a fine young lady by now.

He would have his own life, going to school, getting married and having children, taking care of the clan's business, or even the imperial examinations.

She let her thoughts run wild until she felt a rough touch on her face. Subconsciously, she took two steps back and wiped away the tears on her face.

"Your highness, please excuse me. From now on, Prince Jin will be waiting for the good news in his mansion."

Chu Yixuan nodded his head in satisfaction. Su Zixuan had said that she could do it, so he believed unconditionally and left everything to her without worry.

The man gave her a long look, then left through the window again.

He would never make her cry again.

Listening to butler Su Yuan's report, Su Qian Shan's expression became complex. He was very pleased that the daughter he had high hopes for had finally returned to being that intelligent child from the past.

He was also afraid that her vision was too small and only focused on this small place in the mansion.

The two daughters of the Su Clan had always looked at things wrongly. His youngest daughter was already a cripple, so he was afraid that his eldest daughter would go down the wrong path again.

"Go, call the young miss." Su Qian Shan instructed as he sat at his desk.

In the past, it was he who had failed to control himself and ended up suffering for the Lu family. He had never felt the slightest bit of pity for the Lu family, and had always treated them coldly.

However, he still wanted her body, and he couldn't be sincere. He felt guilty, and could only compensate her in other ways.

Thus, she turned a blind eye to the people she brought with her, until she died of illness and her subordinate forces were handed over to her youngest daughter.

His youngest daughter was using the family's money to maintain a private shop. He knew about her arrangements all these years, and it was because of his consent that the account office moved the money so readily.

After all, his Su Clan was the wealthiest person in the entire Da Qi Kingdom, and these silver taels were nothing. Furthermore, his youngest daughter was a concubine, so some of his money wouldn't be taken advantage of.

However, he did not expect that his preference for Su Xuemin would make him insatiably greedy, or it could be said that it was inseparable from the teachings of her birth mother, the Lu family.

Su Qian Shan felt guilt towards the mother and daughter pair, so he didn't intervene in the matter. When the Lu family passed away, it was already too late for him to discipline them.

Her youngest daughter seemed gentle, but she had thoroughly understood the Lu family's every move.

The same gentleman that the family had hired for their two daughters, Su Xuemin, had taken a wrong turn.

"Master, Big Miss is here." The voice from outside brought Su Qian Shan back to reality.

"Come in, the rest of you."

Seeing her father's serious expression, Su Zixuan also became serious.

"Do you know why I called you here today?"

"Your daughter doesn't know. Please enlighten me, Father."

Seeing the perplexed look on her daughter's face, she sighed and said, "Ming'er arranged for the silver coins to be transferred with my permission."

Su Zixuan wasn't surprised. Her father felt guilty towards Aunt Lu and his daughter, and it wasn't a secret in the Su family anymore. As a well-known rich merchant in the capital, it was expected that he would make amends with money.

He carefully observed the change in expression on Su Zixuan's face, and when he saw that she didn't have any reaction, he finally let out a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

"Father was afraid that you would stay in the inner chamber. It seems that I was overthinking things." Su Qian Shan nodded with gratitude.

"You may be a woman, but you are also aware of the circumstances of your family. If nothing goes wrong, this huge fortune will be handed over to you."

"I don't want the successor I carefully taught to be too shortsighted. He only spends his time on matters of women."

If Yuan'er hadn't been seriously ill and had become a fool, how would he let his daughter carry the heavy burden on her shoulders?

The worry on Su Qian Shan's face was obvious. Su Zixuan wanted to blurt out that her brother was still alive, but she resisted herself and didn't say anything.

Prince Jin also said that this was not a definite thing. If he gave his father hope and made him disappointed, it would be too cruel.

Moreover, no one was here right now, so he might as well wait until the Godly Doctor came to the estate to start his treatment before explaining the whole situation to his father.

"Your daughter understands father's efforts. In the past three years, it has been your daughter who has disappointed father." Su Zixuan's heart was filled with guilt.

Over the past three years, she had failed her father countless times.

She had made a fool of herself when it came to men, causing her father to lose all face. In order to please the Shardcore Kingdom, she had even caused the Su Clan great losses.

Su Qian Shan walked to the table and pointed at a pile of account books. "These are the accounts of the past year for the twenty clothing stores. Take them back and count them properly before reporting to me."

The thick pile was almost the height of half a person. Su Zixuan couldn't resist any longer and felt her scalp go numb.

"I hope you're not just checking the books," he said. Su Qian Shan's gaze was thought-provoking. In order to do business, one not only had to know how to account, but also had to have the brains.

With a bitter face, Su Zixuan took the account book. She knew it wouldn't be that simple.

In Xiao Yuan, Su Zixuan was instructing a few maids who knew how to read and write. She casually picked up an account book and started flipping through it in boredom.

In the capital, to be able to maintain a shop for a long time in the bustling capital, one either had to have a huge backing or the ability to do so.

The Su Clan was naturally made up of both.

In this sort of situation, the task given to her by Father Su was a little difficult. The shop was already mature, and not only had she gained her reputation, she had also earned a lot of money.

In this situation, it was almost impossible to say anything else.

For the next few days, Su Zixuan didn't have time to care about anything else besides the accounts. It wasn't until the news arrived a few days later that she vaguely remembered that there were still things that Prince Jin had asked her to do.

"How is it?" She gently pecked the cold tea and asked.

"Hong Yao has already found the place where the prescription was placed, but it will take some time before she can send the entire recipe over."

The one who replied was the man who had been monitoring Su Xue Ming last time. Seeing that there was no one who could use her in the courtyard, Prince Jin had already given him to Su Zixuan.

The Jin family's hidden guards were naturally useful, but how did Su Zixuan know that he was loyal to Chu Yixuan? Perhaps he just wanted a better reason to keep an eye on her.

He couldn't change the situation no matter how much he wanted to. He might as well relax. There was no need for that!

"Good, keep an eye out. Report to me immediately if anything happens."

"Yes sir!"

She picked up the teacup and brought it to her lips, stopping after drinking it. She said to the back of the person who was about to walk out of the door, "Ji Tong, you are a good person."

The figure at the door froze, then turned around to find that the woman had already stood up and was walking into the room.

Ji Tong hesitated for a moment before walking out.
