Not only that, but the Su family also sold elixirs at a very affordable price. Usually, elixirs that could be sold for 700 gold coins in the medicine workshop or auction house could now be bought for only 500 gold coins medicine shop at the Su family’s store.
There was a long queue outside the Su family’s medicine workshop, stretched down the street. The workshop was bustling with activity with people crowding around the counters who came to buy medicine. Everyone was either holding silver notes or cash in their hands. Everyone was rushing forward with all their might, and they couldn’t wait to slam the money in their hands down on the counter.
“Quick, give me five Soul Cleansing Elixirs!” A muscular man urged impatiently.
“I want ten!” Another person said loudly, unwilling to admit defeat.
“I want 15. Hurry up and pack them up.”

Thinking that the Su family’s business had never been better, the Su family members responsible for selling elixirs in the workshop were all smiling so much that their mouths couldn’t close. They hurriedly tried to calm the crowd down, “Don’t be anxious, everyone, don’t be anxious. Everyone has a share. There’s no need to fight or snatch. There’s enough for everyone!”
In the back hall of the medicine workshop, Su Chenghua and Lady Pei were drinking tea at a round table.
The hustle and bustle of the front hall kept drifting in, and it was so noisy that it stimulated their eardrums. However, the two of them didn’t feel annoyed at all. Instead, they were all smiling. They only felt that the noise of people clamoring for elixir was like the sound of nature, and it was unbelievably beautiful.
“Old Master, I’ll replace wine with tea here. First, I’ll congratulate you on achieving your wish and successfully passing through the difficulties.” Lady Pei raised the teacup in her hand and looked at Su Chenghua with a charming smile.
“Hahaha, Madam, you’re right. We have indeed overcome the difficulties. Look at how popular these elixirs are selling. When we sell all our pills and make a profit, our Su family will become even stronger than before. As for that wretched girl, Su Qian, she can only lie in the dust and look up to us for the rest of her life!” Su Chenghua sneered and raised the teacup to his lips. After taking a sip, he said proudly.
“Old Master, can’t you persuade the ancestor to spare Xiao Qi’s life? Please ask him to show mercy,” Lady Pei sighed heavily and shook her head, “Old Master, although Xiao Qi never treated me as her mother and her child bullied Yue’er and injured so many people in our family, she is still the flesh and blood of you and my sister. If we really get rid of her like this, I just can’t bear it.”
It sounded as if Lady Pei was speaking up for Su Qian, but in fact, she recounted everything that Su Qian had done. It was as if she could not wait to poke at Su Chenghua’s sore spot.
As expected, Su Chenghua put on a cold and ruthless expression. “Madam, I think you’re too soft-hearted. You’re still speaking up for that rebellious daughter at this point. Sigh, have you ever thought about whether that unfilial daughter is worth it?”
“So what do you mean, Old Master…?” Lady Pei asked knowingly, waiting for Su Chenghua’s answer.
“That girl with such a stubborn personality naturally can’t be kept!” Su Chengha said arrogantly,” I’ve made up my mind. Madam, please don’t try to persuade me anymore.”
“Yes, I’ll listen to you, Old Master.” Lady Pei lowered her eyes to hide the satisfaction in her eyes. After speaking with Su Chenghua, the two of them left together in a carriage from the back door.
Su Chenghua took a detour to the front gate and saw a long queue of people in front of the workshop before he left. He was very pleased, and out of the corner of his eyes, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the store across their workshop..
