My mother is good at both medicine and poison, and she is reborn to kill people

Yun Shuang came back to her senses and asked in a low voice, "Miss, Prince Ning came to see you. Is it really just to get to know you and have a few words? Nothing else?"

Su Huan thought back to what Mo Qianhan had just said. There were reminders and tests, but they were harmless.

"No problem, don't worry. I just saw you for the first time and I am quite satisfied with your fiancé, Prince Ning."

Yun Shuang looked at her young lady steadily. Her young lady was the best in the world. His Royal Highness Prince Ning was so handsome that even Prince Jing could not compare to him. His Royal Highness Prince Ning and her young lady were indeed a perfect match. It was a pity that His Royal Highness Prince Ning's legs... It would have been better if His Royal Highness Prince Ning's legs were not disabled.

Su Huan noticed the way Yun Shuang looked at her, and her thoughtful expression, and said calmly, "Don't worry too much. We just need to be self-reliant. Other reliance is not as important as our own strength. Do you understand?"

Yunshuang nodded and said "hmm".

Su Huan patted Yun Shuang's shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go take a look and find out what this Jisheng Medicinal Herbs Store is all about."

As they were talking, Yunshuang led her young lady to the back hall.

There were about forty or fifty people in the hall, standing there in an orderly manner.

When Su Huan appeared, everyone bowed respectfully to her and called her "Miss".

"No need to be so polite." Su Huan walked straight forward, sat down in the main seat in the hall, and said in a calm voice.

The guys said, "Thank you, Miss."

"Let's forget about the polite words." Su Huan said coldly, "I think what happened today is not the first time."

The old man who was in charge of the group of shop assistants knelt down and said truthfully, "The shopkeeper Zhu is the cousin of the current prime minister's wife. The herbal medicine store is purely a tool for them to make money. They use their relationship with the manager of the King of Medicine Pavilion and the support of the prime minister's mansion to abuse their power for personal gain and enrich themselves."

"Some suppliers even don't produce up-to-standard medicinal materials, but because they bribed Shopkeeper Zhu, he can help them sell the materials. On the contrary, even if there are suppliers with good medicinal materials, Shopkeeper Zhu will ignore them, or else he will maliciously lower the price and continuously squeeze profits."

"As far as I know, of the ten shops that Madam brought as a dowry, except for the people from our herbal medicine shop, all the people from the other shops have been replaced. I have stayed here all these years just to hold on to the last layer for Madam."

The old man kowtowed heavily and said seriously: "Now, it is a blessing for the Jisheng Herbal Medicine Store that the eldest lady can take over the store. If we let Manager Zhu go on, the store's reputation will be ruined. We have finally waited for this day."

Su Huan's gaze fell on the kneeling old man. This man should be the most experienced pharmacist in Jisheng Medicinal Materials Store - Pharmacist Song.

She recalled the shopkeeper's self-righteous look just now. It turned out that he was Zhu's cousin. No wonder he spoke so toughly.

With Pharmacist Song taking the lead, the guys below told everything they knew.

These pharmacists and shop assistants are all veterans in running herbal medicine stores. Even without checking the account books, they can still estimate the approximate profits between the income and expenditure.

Over the past seven or eight years, the amount of silver embezzled by Zhu from the Jisheng Medicine Store alone amounted to 160,000 taels. This is just a rough estimate. If one really checks the accounts carefully, the amount would be much more.

No matter how much they swallowed, she wanted them to spit it all out.

After a while, Su Huan listened to their report.

She was just about to ask someone to go to the accounting office and get her the latest account of the medicine store when someone came in. This person was none other than Nanny Li, who was beside Zhu.

Nanny Li looked around, walked up to Su Huan, and perfunctorily bowed, saying, "Miss, the old lady, the master, and the lady are in the mansion. Please return to Fuxi Hall immediately."

Su Huan didn't even need to think about it. It was most likely that the shopkeeper Zhu went to find Zhu. As for her so-called grandmother and father, they were just birds of a feather with Zhu.

She wanted to see what these people were going to do.

Afterwards, she gave some instructions to the people in the herbal medicine store, telling them that no one was allowed to ask about the store's affairs before she returned.

After Su Huan came out of the herbal medicine shop, she went straight back home.

Prime Minister's Residence, Fuxi Hall.

At this moment, Su Xuan was sitting intimately beside Old Madam Su, and Old Madam Su was speaking to Su Xuan with eyes full of doting. It was truly a harmonious relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren.

Su Bingyan and Zhu sat on one side respectively.

The shopkeeper Zhu who was kicked out of Jisheng Medicine Store by Su Huan was sitting in Zhu's subordinate position.

Su Huan stepped forward, bowed, and called out "Grandma, Father".

When Old Madam Su saw Su Huan, her eyes darkened and she said sternly, "I heard that you went out of the house to inspect the shops that were part of your mother's dowry."

Su Huan looked calm, "Grandma, do you think there's something wrong?"

Old Madam Su was unhappy when she saw the attitude Su Huan showed in front of her. She frowned and said, "No problem, I can't ask you anything. What have you done in Jisheng Herbal Medicine Store? You have been the shopkeeper for seven or eight years. How can you drive people away with just one sentence?"

Su Huan sneered, looked at the shopkeeper Zhu who was sitting there, and said, "Grandma, are you referring to him, my stepmother's cousin - Shopkeeper Zhu?"

Su Xuan looked at Su Huan and said softly, "Big sister, even if my cousin has not made any contributions over the years, he has worked hard. Moreover, I heard that my cousin is doing well in the Jisheng Herbal Medicine Store."

"Not bad?" Su Huan said sarcastically, "Using the transaction line with Yaowang Pavilion and relying on the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion to maliciously lower the price, embezzle the profits, and line their own pockets, is this a good business?"

Su Huan said in a cold voice: "Grandmother, father, do you want to hand over the matter of Jisheng Medicinal Materials Store to the prefectural yamen in the capital for a careful review?"

Shopkeeper Zhu couldn't sit still. "This is a family affair. How can it be brought to the government? Do you want to save the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Xuan'er is going to become the Princess of Prince Jing soon. Do you want to save the reputation of Prince Jing's Mansion?"

Su Xuan said casually: "That's right, elder sister, why do you have to be so harsh, cousin..."

Su Huan didn't give Su Xuan any room to say more, and blurted out, "Cousin? I remember that my mother only had two legitimate brothers, and I also only have two legitimate uncles, so how can there be a cousin?"

Su Xuan bit her rosy lips, her face flushed red. Su Huan's words showed that she completely disowned her relatives on her mother's side. She didn't take her mother or her seriously at all. What a bitch! How hateful!

Seeing this, Su Bingyan said sternly, "What are you trying to do? You really want to bring shame to the Prime Minister's Mansion and make them lose face in front of outsiders!"

Su Huan said slowly and deliberately: "Father, since he works in the herbal medicine store, he is a servant, just a slave. According to the laws of the Blue Wind Empire, if a servant embezzles the master's property, the master has the right to beat him to death."

Zhu's face instantly darkened when she heard Su Huan's words. She actually dared to call her clansmen servants and slaves. She gritted her teeth and said, "Young Miss is really very eloquent now. She even refuted the words of the Prime Minister without restraint."

Su Huan didn't care. "Father, the accounts of Jisheng Medicine Store are just rough estimates. Under the management of this shopkeeper Zhu, nearly 200,000 silver taels were embezzled in the past seven or eight years. Father, do you think it is reasonable to execute him for such a large sum of money?"

Su Bingyan: “…”

Zhu was about to speak, but Old Madam Su beat her to the punch.

Madam Su said, "What do you want?"

Su Huan: "Grandmother, have you forgotten? This is my mother's dowry. I naturally want to take back what belongs to me. I don't ask for more. Two hundred thousand taels, and the matter will be over."

Zhu: "You are so arrogant."

Su Bingyan: "Give it to her!"

"What?" Zhu could hardly believe her ears. Two hundred thousand taels of silver, such a huge amount of money, how could she give it?

Seeing Zhu's frustrated and depressed look, Su Huan sneered. Two hundred thousand taels only made Zhu spit out some blood, not to the point of causing any serious damage.
